Buddy if the arguement is "used/retread/patched tires are dangerous" and your reply is "just buy the 80$ ones at walmart" I don't know what point you're trying to make.

Uh, that IS the argument. Is it proven that buying used tires CAN be more dangerous than buying new tires. It's not a sales pitch, it's a safety precaution.

I honestly sometimes think shit like starwars and harry potter has permanently infected our politics. growing up alongside the soyboy millennials when they were kids, star wars and potter was still seen as childish as politics was adult and boring “bush’s policies are this” “clinton on the economy that” than they grew up and with their arrested development went OMG voldemort trump vader! He has red lightsaber like how republicans are red! And how they want to see themselves fighting some evil king like a larp when in reality just an extremely mild reformist. Goes both ways but it like every modern political issue started on the left.

 

[The First Amendment]

From the White House press conference:

Since June 6th:

330 illegals arrested

113 had prior criminal convictions

157 arrested for assault and obstruction INCLUDING attempted murder of a Police Officer with a Molotov Cocktail

The man who attempted murder had already been deported once before and returned to the US where he has now been apprehended.

 

[Myrtle the Turtle]

while a white man grabs precious lego sets.

Depending on what sets he grabbed, he was likely able to sell them for way more than whatever the nigs breaking open the self checkout cash register were able to get.

You're thinking of California.

The Sacramento area, at least, is WAAAAAY better about working on cars than New England. They have massive operations of car scrapping, where every part is dismantled, boxed, warehoused and entered into an inventory database

They also have businesses that are just like, an empty garage with a lift in it that you can rent hourly. Subsequently, California has a pretty advanced self repair culture

Getting almost any car part is a same day thing. Why do you think Russians move there to chop them up?

 

[Nottafed]

So, when somebody mows your lawn, whether for hire or as an included amenity for your abode, they're not "real God damn Americans?"

you got it a bit backwards. No. The dude mowing the lawn is probably more American than the guy who hired him.
I'll take a legal Mexican Construction worker waving an American flag and keeping a nice house in the neighborhood over some libshit blue haired retard who doesnt even know how to change his oil any day of the week. I feel like most of us would.
Being American doesn't mean 'white' (although that helps)
it means being American

Why not go to a junkyard for cheap car parts? I know for a fact that they exist in your area.

Oh that is Saturday...I don't have to go outside that day.

Yes I am saying to do this dumb fuck, just buy an actual brand of tire and not LingLongs and you’ll be fine.
t. got a set of cheap but legit brand tires for $500

No, tire rack is a whole saler of tires
Here are the prices for all season for a mid sized sedan

Now that's just the price for the tire. I highly doubt you are using tire irons to peel them off yourself, let alone do you have access to a balancing machine. That's why the cost is inflated, the install, meaning putting them on the rim and balancing is usually another 25-50 a tire on the low end. You can take them to walmart for cheap, but then you're putting the integrity of the tire on a Walmart mechanic, to which I'd say "why not just go to the local pick and pull and have them give you a used tire". I'd trust my local used tire shop to balance a tire over buying Chinesium tires from Walmart and their mechanics.
If your arguement is "dont buy used tires they are dangerous, just get the cheapest shit at walmart and have the wally world mechanic put them on" I have no idea what you are getting at. Buy cheap get cheap, if you want safe new tires youre gonna be out 800-1200 for a sedan, 1200-2000 for a pickup or SUV.

(replacing the same kind which I used for 9 years)

once again if safety is your goal why are you sticking with the same tires for 90k miles? Do you wait for your steering wheel to start shaking when they get bald enough?

Is it considered outside if you're on a rooftop?

 

[Sammich]

Musk and Trump are slowly making up. Gavin Newsom cucked out on becoming Robert E. Lee. Trump has also been giving more speeches

The complete adn total disrespect you show to Robert E Lee is fucking disgusting. He was one of the best generals the US has ever produced.

Don't you have to get the tires sent somewhere when you buy from a wholesaler?

 

[Fapcop]

i actually disagree with this.
immigration is a political problem and requires political solutions. you boycotting the local beaner chop shop on your own doesn't make a meaningful difference to their bottom line, but it does leave a meaningful hole in your own personal bank account. that's simply not worth it.

now if you were to organize a large network of locals and got them all to join your beaner boycott, then it could actually make a difference. but doing that is near impossible as long as the left has such a tight hold on media and culture (you'd get dragged and canceled hard for trying)

You’re not wrong, but this is basically what every hipster says, when you point out that they rail about capitalism, but carry around a 3000$ MacBook and wear ironic 500$ sneakers.

It’s also about integrity. About having an internal ethical compass and sticking to it.

No, you’re not going to make a practical difference by paying a local 50$ to do some gardening, instead of paying Paco and cousin 30$.

But you’ll be able to hold your head high for sticking to your moral compass and say “I didn’t contribute to the replacement of my people”.

For some that’s not worth $20, for others it’s priceless.

Or don’t. And join in next time younger some nigs plunder an Apple Store. Afterall, why should only they get a five finger discount? What practical difference does it make if you get some free stuff too?

 

[quaawaa]

IM POOR, I don’t have $1200 or $1500 sitting around for tires

What're you driving, a sports car or big truck? Normal car tires don't cost that much.

I just checked and a Honda Civic's tires cost ~$600 for 4 from a legit brand or $350 from a Chinese brand.

You would rather run Chinese tires than used ones? I don’t get it, but it scares me

Let’s put it this way. If I buy a tire with 80% tread, the guy before me was the Guinea Pig checking them out for manufacturing defects. He broke them in for me

 

[>IMPLYING]

"The "No Kings" protest against President Donald Trump and his administration is set to be the largest nationwide mobilization since Trump took office, according to organizers.

There are 1,800 protests planned across the country for June 14, with millions expected to attend.

It's just this again:

Even has the same distribution, sort of, albeit not as dense:

Also this:

And:

And:

(I'm going to be completely honest, I didn't even remember this one. 3-5 million? Forgive my scepticism.)

One thing to consider is that the "People's March" also included virtual protests I.E. people appearing on a zoom call together to seethe. The 50501 "movement" claims that over five million people attended the rallies, which has no proof whatsoever but could be the case if they collated all RSVPs, members of the subreddit, Instagram, etcetera, which might've also been the case for Hands off.

So much of this is Zoom-oriented that I think they will count participants in these calls + emails as "protestors" even if in-person figures don't match the claim.

Also sure, your love for America, as shown by the hundreds of foreign flags, destruction of American property, and refusal to abide by American principles. You aiding and abetting a foreign invasion says it all. I'm convinced.

You'll make a difference to some teenager or young adult getting their start in life. Or a local family where many of them need extra cash and are willing to do "petty" jobs around town. You'd be helping your own community.

The boomer tier entitlement to the lowest prices possible is a large part of many of our problems. It might not seem to make a huge difference on an individual level. But there are stories of young kids who are willing to mow lawns who get turned away by their own neighbors because a kid doing that as their first job is considered "weird" to some people now.
