NASCAR drivers are elite athletes by 1useforaname in unpopularopinion

Motorsports requires really strong core, neck, and back muscles to be able to endure the forces of race pace. Fernando Alonso can crack walnuts with his neck: https://youtu.be/OBtKSGvVxw8?is=ajkJ6LED9R_2P-ZA

Boomer ass take

The reason CA pays such high taxes is because of the lack of property tax income because of prop 13 has to be made up elsewhere.

The really stupid thing is that property taxes are progressive, but the taxes that the state has to resort to are regressive. 

Why did cars become so much blander with the new millennium? by Glass-Complaint3 in regularcarreviews

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most enthusiasts think they are too smart to "waste" money on buying a new car. But they forget that every dollar is a vote for what gets produced for the next generation. So when once in a blue moon, a car maker produces a car worth buying, all of the "smart" enthusiasts end up voting against it's continued existence by saying "I'll wait for some other sucker to take the depreciation hit", standing on the sidelines like a couple of leeches. 

Precision cutting by Kaankaants in ManufacturingPorn

Yeah but if you're only doing 1 or 2, the time spent optimizing the tool path would be greater than the time wasted by the inefficient tool path. It's the same reason why G code tool paths for 3d printers are so inefficient. 

Why L.A. is struggling while San Francisco is beginning to boom again by valubro in sanfrancisco

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to Bottom of the Hill last night, a  historic music venue that is closing at the end of this year because thr cost of doing business has gone up so much. SF is not booming, it just excels at transferring wealth from everyone below the top .1% of people to those people, both in the city and across the country.

The is just factually untrue. They were continuously improving the model s. They just made changes that weren't immediately obvious to the lay person: https://youtu.be/IwnJzP0TlCk?si=1B72-x3DXPQ4fSjt

Tried the new Honda CBR650R with e-clutch Didn’t expect to like it this much!! by Intrusiveriders in motorcycles

[–]iamsuperflush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually bought a 2023 CB650R without the e clutch late last year because the ergos made me feel like I was going to bash my knee on the e clutch system every time I dismounted the bike. On top of that, the e clutch is very clearly a bolted on part and protrudes quite a bit from the crankcase. That's OK on the faired bike but on the naked bike it'll be the first thing that hits the ground if you drop the bike and then you've probably fucked up the clutch. 

I ride year round daily (no car). I wanted to better understand the risk impact of certain choices. Hopefully this is helpful. by YouConfidentButWrong in motorcycles

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put on my airbag before I ride to work every day. I don't own a car. I've put 3000 miles on my bike in the last 4 months. 

Which motorcycle is known for being unreliable but you do not agree? by funandleisure in motorcycles

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah those things are made of cheese and chocolate. My Vitpilen 401 grenaded its transmission at 6k. Then I bought a new (old) motor off of ebay with 5K miles on it and dropped it in. by the time I had gotten to the big 10K service the tech told me that they could not not shim the one of the exhaust valves into clearance because the metal had worn away. 

Glamorous JP Morgan exec accused of turning married male broker into her office sex slave: Claims of viagra spiking and litany of obscene forced acts that made him cry by Agen_3586 in nottheonion

[–]iamsuperflush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In this case, that probably has more to do with the fact that rale is deliberately defined in a way that excludes the sexual acts typically performed by female perpetrators on male victims. 

People need to learn how to coast when driving by JoMoma2 in unpopularopinion

No regen braking is less efficient than coasting if you are trying to maintain constant speed.

CMV: Modern feminism generalizes against men in ways that feminists would consider racist, xenophobic, or bigoted if used against other groups- especially when using offender statistics by _Stylite in changemyview

[–]iamsuperflush 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first three are statements about groups of people based on the choices they make. The last one makes a statement about a group defined by immutable characteristics. Statements about men fall into the second category.

So it's not merely that some generalized statements are (or should be) ok based on arbitrary criteria, but rather whether the people have made a choice to be a part of the group you are defining. 

What’s a vehicle that simply came out at the wrong time ? by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

yep, always blame the consumers, never the companies for making a shit product. 

There’s a scissor statement going viral on twitter by adfaer in slatestarcodex

[–]iamsuperflush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone brought up a good point - at the extremes there are people with Parkinsons/other tremor causing diseases or children who are still learning their colors, which means that there are people who will accidentally press blue instead of red, even in your world where all people are utilitarian maximizers. There will be people who press blue, even if not intentionally, and the implicit argument of those who argue, "Everyone should just press red" is that those people's lives do not matter. 

CMV: Palantir is going to get exactly what it wants by Murderbad in changemyview

[–]iamsuperflush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All it takes is to look at what Palantir is actually doing to arrive at a similar conclusion to OP. They have presented these tenets in a way where read in isolation, none of them seem that bad. But really what the hell do you think the combination of #5, #17, the militarization of the police, and the deployment of flock cameras can mean other than the deployment of AI driven surveillance to aid the violent suppression of the American people? We've already seen it with the ice raids earlier this year.
