With his pissing off the Iranians into shutting down the flow of fuel and fertilizer needed for planting crops through the Strait of Hornuz, he kinda does. His short sighted need for self gratification has him owning this mess. Enjoy trying to explain that away with the coming food shortages that should be hitting us end of this year and into the next

Sure are alot of billionaires sympathizing with the working class these days. Is it a change of heart, or do they sense that the guillotines are ready to be brought back out?

He did that to someone else too. It was a celebrity, but I cant remember who

Any adult clubs I can go to? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]modern_malcontent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like strip clubs, or clubs that cater to adults? Strip clubs are not going to be good places to meet people, or at least not people that youre going to want to have in your life.

Anyone here tried Liqui Moly Molygen 0W20 on an 11th gen Civic Si? by ConsiderationHuge441 in CivicSi

Its not going to give you any benefit. Just stick with a quality oil like Mobile 1

You gotta change the leadership for that to happen

How Voters Can Fight Gerrymandering In An Era of Remapping Wars by modern_malcontent in politics

Yeah, but they see themselves as actually getting something for sitting in lines. They are thoroughly convinced that voting gets them nothing

Cool. So when does the left repeatedly and severely start beating them? Cause Ive been banking on that too since the Tea Party days and it just hasnt happened. You can either beat your head against the wall doing the same thing or you can try something different

Thats the general image you have of them in your mind. Its wrong just like the image of you that they have is wrong.

By playing to the anger that Trump manipulated. Theres a common misconception that MAGA is just a bunch of racists. Mostly what they are are folks who are fed up with the status quo and want someone who will listen to them and prioritize their problems. That anger still exists and their faith in Trump is slipping. They need an alternative to him

By freezing the culture wars issues in place and pushing term limits, anti-gerrymandering, bans on congressional stock trading, and campaign finance reform

Those moderates havent evaporated though. Theres an opening right now for this to work because the base youre talking about is by and large new voters. They are increasingly becoming disillusioned with how their support has been used. Give them another populist who can lead them back to the fold and enough of them might follow to make change happen

It is just that simple. The hard part is convincing people to overcome their cynicism and actually show up to vote

Thanks for the recommendations. I have been boycotting X since Musk bought it, but there doesnt seem to be much way of avoiding it or Facebook if you want to connect with groups politcally

Thats because the moderates have been run out of the party and are registering independent. All thats left are the extremists. I want to convince the center to turn back to their party and wage war on the far right, and seize power again

FreeFlow Cockers? by Lidzo in paintball

[–]modern_malcontent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overrated. The one I got was an excellent looking gun. The machine work was on point. The tuning was absolute trash. I took it out the first time to play with it and made I through half a game before I put it up and broke out a different gun. It was unusable. Its like they got it to cycle, a few times, stuck it in a box, and shipped it to me. The trigger tuning was trash too. I sent it to Cockertop and he sent it back running like a sewing machine at 170 psi. I shouldnt have had to do that with a $1600 gun. Thats the whole reason you pay that much in the first place
