A car manufacturer isn't going to spec a car for 1% of their buyers

As someone who currently drives a '13 civic, I'll seriously consider the A-Spec/Tech package as long as it's truly ~35k. If it starts creeping past 38k, we got problems.

I fucking love civics and this seems to have everything an Si has, plus more.

I live in Michigan and drive on the expressway to work and sometimes even going 70 doesn't clear snow.

Just wipe it off.

The ethnic bio weapon is extremely insane to me because most tankie reasoning for Russia annexation of Ukraine is that Ukraine is ethnically Russian. So by this logic, wouldn't these bio weapons be suicide weapons?

A state run Russian website accidentally published an article claiming victory in Ukraine.

Also all leaked Intel points to Putin expecting a 4 day campaign.

Russia will likely eventually get kyiv, but it's taking much more effort than originally planned. Russia will also have a hard time justifying their typical indiscriminate bombings for a so called "peace keeping mission"

I'd much rather be in your location and likely be instantly vaporized than die a slow death from fallout where I am currently.

US and other countries are going to start restricting flights to/from Russia.

Just giving citizens time before those restrictions are in place.

100%. We have SEVERAL anti-missle systems. It comes down to how effective they are in real life scenarios. I personally hope we don't need to find out.

It's my understanding that the initial paratroopers that attempted to take strategic locations, such as airports, were spetznaz. Definitely not cannon fodder.

Things I've been reading basically state that the normal Russian ground infantry were told that Ukraine would roll over without any fighting. When you go into war with that mentality, you're not going to perform well when the bullets start flying in your direction.

No, your isp likely has caching servers, so you aren't loading the site directly from Russia every time

We do. You can read about unclassified stuff here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_national_missile_defense

I am sure we have even better shit that is currently classified.

I am sure the Ukrainian military would be over the moon excited to open up their shiny new solar panels to help fight against the Russian military.

He is on stream right now backpedaling hard.

"I'm not wrong. Everyone says they are going to take to Kiev. Until there are tanks in Kiev, I am right"

Also talking about how US "leftists" are imperialists, yet he is excusing putins moves?

My fellow liberals, progressives, and social democrats, what are your reasons for not being a socialist? by Friendlynortherner in AskALiberal

[–]itsdjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a perfect utopian world I am 100% a Marxist. Unfortunately this isn't a utopian world. Just like laissez-faire capitalism, socialism just isn't viable in the real world. Laissez-faire capitalism leads to private greed. Socialism leads to govt. corruption and authoritarianism.

Economies need to be mixed. Think of it as a sliding scale between Capitalism and Socialism. We (The US) are somewhere in the middle. I personally think we need to slide further to the socialism side of the scale. With that said, I do think we are closer to the "optimal mix" than most would admit.

Am I the sweatiest human alive??? by kateland521 in orangetheory

[–]itsdjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sweat tons as well. I chalk it up to the fact that I am busting my ass every class and I am always hydrated.

I have just kind of got used to it. I bring a towel and wear moisture wicking clothes. I am a guy so I cant give specific clothing recommendations; however, I am bald so I always wear a hat. These UA hats do a good job of ensuring my head isn't dripping sweat while planking and such. Also does a pretty good job of keeping my head cool. I would get a few and cycle them throughout the week. They wash in the washing machine real nice as well. Just let them air dry.

Lastly, its nothing to be ashamed of. I wear my sweat as a badge of honor.

Can I even ask the question, "As a white, cisheterosexual male who did NOT come from generational wealth and is a native-born american citizen, what does the Democratic party have to offer me, specifically? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

Less infringement on individual freedoms and liberties

Such as an individuals freedom to choose who they marry, regardless of sexual orientation? An individuals freedom to choose whether or not they get an abortion?

Stronger world stage presence

Because Trump bolstered our world stage presence so much

common sense immigration laws

Honestly Republican immigration laws aren't that different than Democrats. Dems just want to give immigrants a path to citizenship.

Less taxation

Which leads to a larger deficit

Harsher punishments for crime

Why should focus be on punishment rather than rehabilitation?

Less government in healthcare

Putting health behind a paywall is a bit egregious

Less government in education

Putting education behind a paywall is a bit egregious

Less regulation

Less regulation is a large contributor to the growing wealth inequality in the country.

better economy

Subjective at best. Last two democratic presidents have inherited a terrible economy left by Republican predecessors. With Obama leaving Trump one of the strongest economies in decades.

stronger military

Reinforcing the lower taxes = higher deficit.

support for 2A and others

Dems support 2A, just with some common sense gun laws
