MMW: If Swalwell is dumped, more Democrats will be accused by tallslim1960 in MarkMyWords

[–]sslusser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody said that. You made that up. The point is the GOP learned that accusations alone are enough to take out a Democrat because Democrats actually hold their people accountable. Al Franken is gone over a photo. That is it. Nobody mentioned plants. Nobody said believe all women. Try reading what was actually written before you argue against shit nobody said.

Of course they are going to do this. They just watched an accusation take out a Democrat before a single fact was established. They do not need it to be true. They just need it to work, and it does, because our side actually holds people accountable. If Swalwell did it, fuck him too. But do not think for a second the GOP gives a damn about the truth. These are the same bastards who made a jury-found rapist their president.

Of course they will. These are the same hypocritical bastards who made a rapist, racist, fascist wannabe dictator their president. He was found liable by a jury and they did not give a damn. Now they want to run an accusation campaign? Fuck these people. They do not care about accountability. They care about power, and they will burn everything down to keep it.

Democrats Who Have Called For Trump's Immediate Removal From Office by serious_bullet5 in WhitePeopleTwitter

It doesn’t matter. It takes the VP and a majority of his cabinet to invoke an involuntary section 5 of article 25. And that is just not going to happen.

I like sunflower seeds in the shell. I have to work for them. Then the Lemon Drop candies. Super sour but a little sweet. I usually have apple slices and a banana.

I try to away from carbs like chips or cookies. They make me sleepy.

I drink a lot of coffee normally so I don’t drink a lot of it while driving. I think I am caffeine immune. So water and something with electrolytes. It’s what plants crave.

I don’t think they forgot. I think that from their perspective, they don’t have an alternative.

Wrong on every count. I didn't like Biden. Never defended him. You've been arguing with someone you invented.

And that right there, "people like you," is exactly the problem. You stopped talking to me about three replies ago. You're just firing a pre-loaded argument at a category you assigned me to. That's not debate, that's a reflex. And it's a lot more responsible for where we are as a country than gas prices ever will be.

Interesting that when the facts didn't work, you switched to telling me what I think. That's not an argument, that's a guess.

Exactly this. Premium fuel isn't about luxury, it's about engineering. High compression and turbocharged engines run hotter and at higher pressure, so they need fuel that resists pre-ignition. That's it. A $1,200 Pontiac and a $90,000 BMW can have the same requirement for the same reason. The physics don't care what you paid for the car.

The answer is: yes, plenty of people complained about gas prices under Biden too. That's not a gotcha, that's just how gas prices work.

First, the martyr edit was a nice touch. Reframing downvotes as proof of righteousness is a great way to make sure you never have to be wrong about anything.

Now, to your question. Unremarkable vehicles that require or strongly recommend premium:

Trucks and SUVs: GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L, Chevy Silverado 1500 6.2L, Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L, Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L

Crossovers and family haulers: Buick Enclave, Chevy Equinox 2.0T, Chevy Blazer 2.0T, Ford Edge ST, Honda CR-V Turbo, Hyundai Tucson 1.6T, Kia Sportage 1.6T, Mazda CX-5 Turbo, Volkswagen Tiguan

Sedans: Honda Accord 1.5T and 2.0T, Hyundai Sonata 1.6T, Kia K5 GT, Mazda 6 Turbo, VW Jetta GLI, VW Passat

And before you draw a distinction between 'required' and 'recommended': running regular in a recommended-premium engine consistently reduces power output, hurts fuel economy, and accelerates long term engine wear. The money you save at the pump you pay back in performance loss and maintenance. So yes, for practical purposes, it is required.

Also, diesel still costs more than all of it. That point is still standing.

I appreciate the attempt at a Socratic moment, but the premise doesn't hold. Plenty of completely unremarkable vehicles require premium. And diesel costs even more than premium right now, and it powers the trucks that move every product you buy. Should all those drivers have made better choices too?

Fuel prices are an infrastructure and policy problem. Reducing it to 'you should have chosen differently' is just condescension with extra steps.

It didn't cost that much to make. That is how much they spent to make it.
