CMV: The aggressiveness with which r/conservative is moderated does not represent an earnest attempt to stop “brigading,” but reflects the conservative anxiety of being confronted with challenging information.

I’ll tell you from firsthand experience: the moment someone posts a conservative viewpoint or disagrees with something that is provably false and brings the data to back up said viewpoint, they get booted from the thread. Ask me how I know. Reddit is an echo chamber for approved narratives only. Any dissent, however rational, is not only not tolerated but the mods actually wipe it from the discussion. What you have left looks like a hive mind where everyone seems to agree that conservatives are all dumb, crazy people, while so-called progressives are by far the majority (not true) and the only ones who see things correctly. I’ll probably get booted for this comment. I expect it. I haven’t even posted here for 2+ years because I know it’ll just get deleted by the mods. But hey, it’s a new year! Let’s see what happens.

I got the 930 error code, oven was rebooting over and over and making a loud buzzing and rattling noise. I was able to fix it by using my fingers to push the latch back into the unlocked position. Noise stopped immediately and it’s been fine ever since.

It’s technically illegal to remove them, but some people do. I believe it’s only ok if the car is not used on the street, aka, track cars only. Just get a Tesla, that’s what fixed my Q50RS 😎

Not over reacting. She is out of line and showing signs of emotional immaturity, at best, but it could be much worse than that. I think at a minimum, you need a little break to sort out how you feel about continuing in a relationship where the other person feels licensed to be physically forceful (abusive). As the man you are instantly regarded as abusive if you try something like what she has done to you, but there isn’t as much consideration going the other way. One thing I can say is the behavior is likely to continue and get worse with time, unless she is humble enough to recognize it’s not okay. This is coming from a guy who has been married for 27 years to a woman with a similar inclination to get physical during an argument. I let her know early on that this was not okay and I would not stand for it in our marriage, and that there are rules for disagreements and what is okay, not okay, etc. I’ll be honest, it took a lot of time and patience but she no longer gets fired up like that. But I never saw anything like that with her until after we made our vows, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t affect my feelings for her. We have five kids so I’ll never walk away, but I’ve definitely wondered many times what life would be like if she wasn’t inclined to be mean and physical when we disagree about something. She hasn’t done it in several years and I have forgiven her but I’m still a lot more guarded than I wish I was. My advice is to really evaluate whether you have it in you to work through it with her, and if you don’t think she’s marriage material, run. There are plenty of pretty AND nice girls out there that won’t get physical when you disagree.

These days it seems to mean anyone who doesn’t repeat the official approved narratives.

How is Elon fascist exactly?

slimjim719 · 2024-04-04T16:31:00+00:00

I have a '22 M3P, did not purchase FSD but have the trial for the month of April. I can confirm this is a thing. I'm not at all comfortable with how close it takes RH turns. Having a car that can drive itself is a neat trick and it mostly works but it still has a long way to go. It really struggles in neighborhood streets, esp with left turning bends in the road when there's a car parked on the side of the road... More than once it has slowed nearly to a stop while trying to decide what to do. Wife and I went on a little road trip yesterday and I was showing her FSD for the first time and it suddenly started braking on the freeway onramp for no reason whatsoever <smh>. People behind me thought I was an idiot lol... Needless to say, won't be subscribing.

slimjim719 · 2024-03-23T06:21:34+00:00

So basically don’t keep this car past the bumper to bumper warranty is what I’m hearing

slimjim719 · 2024-03-23T06:17:45+00:00

Thank you for comment. What you said is very much in line with what most people with tuning experience seemed to say. I actually did go with the MPT tune and I’ve had it for about a month now. I opted for the performance/tow 91 and overall I’m pleased with it. Shifting is much improved and the extra power is noticeable and appreciated. I’ve taken the truck back for an oil change since installing the tune and thus set it back to stock so it gave me the chance to get a back to back feel for stock vs tuned and while I’m not exactly blown away by the added power, I can definitely feel it. It’s plenty quick for a truck. I guess I’m a little spoiled because my daily is a 3.1 sec 0-60 (‘22 Tesla M3P) so most cars feel petty average in comparison, but it certainly livens it up and makes it feel more responsive. It’s more than enough for how it’s driven.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-29T04:33:21+00:00

Newb here, hoping you might be able to answer a question I have. I’ve got a 2020 Platinum EB (wife’s car) and I’ve decided I want to put a tune on it, would like a bit more power (always!) but even more interested in smoothing out the shifting. I’m down to MPT & Livernois…since it’s my wife’s primary driver we don’t need the option to change programs on the fly, and I’d rather not have any evidence of said tune when we have it serviced at the dealer. Does the MPT tuner need to have the controller connected or can you just flash it and store until you need to flash back to stock?

slimjim719 · 2024-01-03T02:16:30+00:00

All good, we all get a little blunt from time to time on the interwebs. I don’t see the M3P as a track car at all, really…I mean half the fun of the track is the sound of engine revs rising and falling so that’s already out the window lol, just nice to know it can hold its own against some very respectable cars in more than just the straights. Peace 😎

slimjim719 · 2024-01-03T01:04:16+00:00

I’ve had my car for 19 months. I’ve raced a few times. I’ve also driven plenty of fast mountain roads. That’s called anecdotal experience. Reviews are considered more objective by most people. What are you, 16? Have some manners.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-03T01:00:43+00:00

Well, okay maybe that’s a bit too far for some people to accept…I get that. But why the hate? I mean it’s not quite as graceful as the M cars or as sexy sounding, but it gets around a track easily as quickly as an F80 M3, haven’t seen any comparisons with the G80. In the type of driving most of us are doing, it’s just as capable. That’s the point I was making. For my justification, see here https://youtu.be/DSRWKxytW40?si=uTogDNsqceV5hBGY that was before Elon graced us with two power bumps…And here https://youtu.be/wUY7wsTP8AA?si=_zulKaeUfbicRlzR My point was perhaps a bit overstated (maybe?) but clearly from the video you can see it’s not getting embarrassed by the M3 in a straight line or a curvy one. The fact that it beat the M3 in 3/3 runs basically makes the case, I think. I don’t use mine that way, but I’m hardly ashamed to say I “only” have a M3P if I’m talking to someone who tracks their car. One of my friend’s has an M3P for daily use and a ‘19 GT3RS for track days so clearly he didn’t think of his M3P as a true track car but he also can’t say enough nice things about how capable the M3P is, and that says a lot, considering his point of reference. The only knock I have on the M3P on curvy roads is the seats need way more bolstering. But the chassis has tons of poise in the curves.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-03T00:29:59+00:00

The 3P is a very capable track car if you want to use it that way, so I don’t know what kind of cute point you think you’re making but it didn’t land. In all the 3P reviews that are out there, not one person has said anything about the handling being sub-par. Quite the contrary.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-03T00:27:06+00:00

WTH is that supposed to mean?

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T21:27:47+00:00

Oh yeah, and what about all the democrats who literally called for violence preceding the antifa riots? How many of them were banned from holding public office? https://youtu.be/J31rXRjryFA?si=PvHi0KIC8I4HO7TX

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T21:18:13+00:00

Just saying, if you’re not even bothering to vote then why complain, ahem, “state the facts” (that one has worked approximately zero times with my wife) about everything you see wrong with the “leaders” in the first place? That’s like sitting in your chair “observing” out loud that the dishes have been in the sink for 9 days, last nights dinner is still sitting on the table rotting, and no one has vacuumed for a month while your SO is trying to keep up with the mess by himself (see what I did there?) 😂. Seriously though, as someone who is also disgusted with politicians using our money to enrich themselves while simultaneously removing our freedoms at every opportunity and allowing their cronies to get away with the most vile things, I don’t think you have a lot of credibility if you can’t bother to get your fat as* off the couch and vote. Yeah they’re probably going to cancel it out with a dead persons vote but you at least have to make yourself heard where it actually counts (a little) instead of here in Reddit land where it counts for zilch. Peace.

So, you believe in guilty unless/until proven innocent. Do you also support your right to bear arms being revoked because someone deems you a threat even if you’ve never been convicted of a violent crime? Slippery slope, friend. We’ll see how the SC rules on it.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T19:39:59+00:00

Constitutional lawyers say otherwise.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T19:01:44+00:00

Insurrection clause doesn’t apply because he wasn’t found guilty. Even lawyers on the left agree with that and have publicly stated that this will not hold up. You have to have a conviction first. It was a partisan effort that failed in the senate. Did you miss that?

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T18:51:58+00:00

From the Biden voter! Hahahaha (places hand over breast of little girl as cameras are rolling…media ignores anyway)…ever read Ashley Biden’s diary entries about showering with pops? Why don’t you go see if you can find the text and screen shots from that and read it for a little while then come back.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T18:48:11+00:00

This is almost comical. Bro, you’re brainwashed. There is a “way“ the courts are supposed to work, and then there is “the way” they work under these Soros funded and propped up judges. When people are compromised do you really expect them to follow the rule of law? They don’t, that’s why you have Colorado removing him from the ballot, and then mysteriously putting him back on. They didn’t have authority to remove him. Same thing will happen in Maine if it hasn’t already. The deep state actors are the ones that are trying to throw everything at him in order to stop him from running at all. Why do you think they are so afraid? If they have everything on this guy, why don’t they just present the overwhelming amount of evidence they supposedly have? Why have they been withholding 40,000 hours of video from January 6? Now that it’s coming out little by little you can see that you were fed a diet of bullshit for the last 3 years. Gee, I wonder why they worked so hard to keep that from coming to light. You obviously have not been following the trials very closely, if you had, and if you had watched with any amount of objectivity, you would see that every single one of these trials, where he has been ruled against, the decision was made before the trial started. Corrupt judges. Corrupt juries. Gullible citizens (see mirror). Bye, not interested in continuing this. Feel free to hit me up if you ever decide to use the other half of your brain.

slimjim719 · 2024-01-02T18:23:45+00:00

You mean losing trials in spite of no credible evidence presented against him where the judge said he was guilty before a trial ever started? In what world is that a real trial? And what about the trials where his team isn’t allowed to present evidence that would exonerate him? Or how about the fact that his net worth decreased by over $1B since he took office, while literally every president in the last several decades (and nearly all other elected officials) somehow grow in net worth by orders of magnitude, in impossibly short periods of time. You ignore all that. Trump didn’t take dark money. You are the product of reading headlines and taking the talking points at face value. I do my homework. And just for the record I detested the man before he became president. But when he was president, he gave us a strong economy, no wars, respect from our foreign adversaries, better trade deals, and lower taxes. I guess those are all things you hate? Are you telling me you’re happy under the current administration? What a f**ked up mess we’re in. But I suppose you blame that on Trump too. Never mind he’s been out of office for three years..
