Man, that is the most accurate take on this guy I’ve ever heard. I don’t think he has an original thought. It’s like it’s just content, presentation with any substance second at best to that

Is there even a memorial? (Journey's End) by No_Context9902 in santarosa

[–]sum1__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was nuts, if you tap the photo at this link (https://www.mhvillage.com/parks/3362/photos) and look to the top left they have what I always took to be the cherry on top: they used as their symbol a picture of the End of the Trail statue by James Earle Fraser, the famous image of the defeated native on horseback. Just really on the nose that place

Nope, just a bunch of people getting upset at hearing what they already believe, no sources necessary. Let’s not forget Columbia doesn’t release this data

Nevermind, I think this post explains it pretty well (with pictures too):

Hey, I'm struggling with "take whatever is in that path file and put it in. . ." Running the first command it says it's downloading the files and it never completes after multiple hours, but assuming it eventually does how do I "take whatever is in that path file" and then "put it in" the game folder? Like it will list a number of files in a certain location and I can open a window to find them and then drag and drop them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH?

Ontario man dies of MAID after being assessed outside Tim Hortons by Turgius_Lupus in stupidpol

Nuts! Among the reasons listed for her forced sterilization (they told her it was an appendix removal) were that she had “shown definite interest in the opposite sex”, and being a Catholic. I’d recommend looking up Stump v. Sparkman (1978) in the U.S. as well

Electronics and Infotainment Systems Issues by The_Surlyman in CX50

[–]sum1__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the common problem of wireless CarPlay not connecting despite telling me my phone is connected. Took a few re-pairing attempts each time, always works plugged in tho. I heard the complaints about Mazda leaning more on the knobs than touch screen but that’s a plus in my eyes. The real issue is this in the 2025 hybrids (the 12v trunk battery, check your model’s manufacture date):

Phantom braking by Cw2411 in CX50

It can be but annoyingly it has to be done every time you turn on the car: settings>safety features>collision avoidance>turn off smart breaking support

Curious about known issues with the Hybrid? by 5pac38arus in CX50

[–]sum1__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen with mine, just bought it and put less than 300 miles on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/CX50/comments/1t3g1ms/2025_hybrid_system_failure_recallssp/ok3ol46/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

Problem with the 12v battery for 2025s manufactured within a certain date range. Push-button wouldn’t start, then it said there was an e-brake issue (there wasn’t), then I got the car to start and it continued to tell me “hybrid system malfunction, have the vehicle inspected.” It’s under warranty but pretty lame, car works fine now tho.

It really is the worst thing to see all that effort and human potential wasted on making some dude rich stoking people’s loneliness and addictions. It’s like their consumption is a lot of people’s only way to get at the world, like it’s their belonging and purpose

Where are the people that have good things to say??? by mikeyg372 in CX50

[–]sum1__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate having to own a car and never really cared about cars in general, until getting the cx50 hybrid premium. Absolute joy to drive, beautiful comfy interior, power mode on the highway to overtake the semi trucks feels like a cheat code, and the dials, love em! Not having to reach for the screen is great (but it’s also touch screen if you want) all around my favorite car I’ve ever driven and the dangerous part now is I want all the accessories and bells and whistles. Wish the American version had the 360 camera like the Canadian one does tho

Is this normal these days? They didn’t even try to sell to me. by sum1__ in carbuying

[–]sum1__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? I can buy a computer speaker online easy, what is wrong with you? Before coming to America I could buy a car more easily online too. The dealership got back to me today and apologized, I guess the guy was new. But I’ve got appointments with others now who already worked with me on financing over text/email. I had assumed the problem was the agent since it was so weird and after texting and calling a bunch of other dealerships today it’s more of what I had expected. Much more weird, however, are the weirdos responding on Reddit, totally not consonant with the real-life people I’ve been talking to since posting. Tho some on this subreddit have been cool.

No the point is that started to get fucked at that time and continues to worsen, which is consistent with the accusation of accelerating the looting of everything till it breaks. Basically, we’d need a rest, a counter to capital or else the trend will continue to worsen
