I feel like people who go: “Yes! We should throw drug users and dealers in jail for decades!”
i have an alternate solution for drug dealers
OIP.webp

as for users, 90% of hard drug users should be sent to treatment programs and (this might be a hot take) 10% are so far gone into addiction and depravity that for their own good and the good of society they should be put down like dogs.
 
Are you telling me that the red gas containers are declared unsafe to hold gas now because the state said so?
 
We've actually been running at historic lows of CO2 in the atmosphere. I believe we got down to the 220ppms in the 40s and 50s. At below 160ppm the plants suffocate and everything dies. We're in the 400s now and it's driving massive amount of greening and record crop yields and such because CO2 is plant food. For reference, a greenhouse's ideal CO2 range is 1200ppm. It's a tiny part of our atmospheric mix and a weak greenhouse gas.
The fact we vilify carbon dioxide when there are far more volatile and dangerous chemicals in the world demonstrates how the EPA has been commandeered from its original purpose for political grandstanding.
 
lol. sure it does. (they don't. You have to know to ask, admitting that hurts sales so the dealers don't bring it up).
No they 100% do. If you got a truck with the trailer towing package then it came in the same bag as the brake controller wiring harness. Or its in the glove box. If you got a car or SUV then its stashed in a few different random spots. Check your manual.

Plants unfortunately don't convert CO2 during the night, for they need solar light to do so.

The solution then is simple: force all plants to receive light 24/7 so they don't breathe like we do. Climate change BTFO.
Fun fact: if you expose plants to light non-stop, they will eventually die. Even plants need to sleep. It is supposed that all living things sleep in some way or form.
 
Oregon it's illegal to pump your own gas. There's no money in it, so service is extremely poor and it's really annoying to get gas there.
Also, they require an electrician to come to your house to plug in your electric car every time you want to charge it.

But actually they now only require that 50% of the pumps at a station be attended. Which means you can usually pump your own gas now. NJ is the only one left with 100% can't pump it yourself. Which is probably for the best given the IQ of New Jersey.
 
Luckily years a go I got a good deal on a bunch of real Waivan "NATO" jerry cans.
Fun trivia: they're called "jerry" cans because they were a direct copy of German gas cans from captured Nazi kit. They were so far superior to anything the Allies had they just directly copied it and made as many as fast as they could.

Holy fuck is that "Donald Trump Campaign Ad" put out by South Park fucking cringier than fuck.

In all the comments you see "Oh, South Park makes fun of BOTH SIDES!!"

Really? When was the last time they showed a naked Biden or Obama followed by his dick and then end the add with "Obama has a little dick" or "Biden has a wrinkly dick!"

That shit is just... well.. what the fuck is the liberals obsession with naked Trump and his dick. Even during the "Dick Riding Obama" years, you never saw shit like this.

Holy shit, I'm sick of this shit.
I see southpark hasn't lost its touch in triggering folks, too. It's ok. Donny will be ok.
 
Speaking of E10, this shit has been enforced by the EU recently, but while Germany implemented it in such a way that you can get 95 in both E5 and E10 variants, here 95 is only E10 and for E5 you need to pay up for 98 if you don't want to corrode your old gas tank or melt your fuel tubes. How's that over the pond now that you've mentioned you've got that C2H5OH "enhanced" garbage there as well?
It depends on the state. Some states force E10. Others its optional. In my state normal pumps are all E10 but I can still get "race fuel" at Sunoco and VP gas stations.

The E10 thing sucks but I adapted. I run Edelbrock AVS style carbs on all my junk and they have some chrome coating that was never bothered by it. The older Holley carbs had floats that corroded to a green mess but the newer ones are fine. I havn't had any issue with tanks or old fuel lines. If they where rusty already then ya E10 is going to cause problems quicker. E10 was in California 20+ years ago, so the aftermarket pretty much has it figured out by now. Any carburator you buy now will be E10 safe.

Small engines are where E10 really causes problems. You have to make 100% sure you purge any fuel out of the carb or tank before putting it away for the season. If you don't you will find a mess the next time you try and use it.
 
I'll give you your compromise: treat drug users as victims but force them into rehab, give drug dealers the old midnight IRA wellness check involving some "persuasion" and broken legs or worse
I don't want my community filled with hapless drug addicts whether they're doing it legally or not. A serious country - hell a serious family wouldn't allow their own to abuse themselves with drugs.
Since drug dealers are getting their drugs from hostile foreign nations label them as spies… and treat them accordingly.
 
I feel like people who go: “Yes! We should throw drug users and dealers in jail for decades!” Either don’t know how much all that policing, prosecution and prison actually costs, or they don’t pay taxes and are on welfare and hence don’t give a fuck.
Drug dealers sell addictive poisons which inevitably kill people, resulting in countless deaths from overdose and medical complications across the United States. They peddle slow suicide through pleasure. I could care less about their welfare. In fact, I would rejoice at the prospect of making drug dealing an offense punishable by death.

I’ve seen drugs erode people, including those who didn’t even take them. I have no sympathy for the deaths of criminals who actively destroy homes and lives.
 
People read their car manuals? I just Google it. 🥴
Of course they don't. Otherwise the pajeets would have known how to get out of their Tesla.

Honestly the amount of hidden shit is way too high. Need to put my truck in neutral, good luck without the manual. Need to open the hood with a dead 12v battery so you can jump it to put it in neutral so you can get it on a wrecker, also good luck without knowing where they hid the manual release.
 
I spent the $6 on Amazon for this two-pack and forgot the EPA spouts even existed. It even came with a drill bit for the vent hole to match their plugs. China found a way to profit off the US EPA.

Im sad that I thought these were sex toys for a second. Yellow baldos and dick pumps. The rekieta thread got me like 😵‍💫
 
Like green M&Ms? Who in their right mind, sexualizes candy?
Don't ask questions you don't want answers to.
Are you fucking serious right now? Those EPA canisters sound exactly like the type of draconian bullshit the EU would enforce, yet it was America that pioneered such a horrendous concept while in Europe you can source 3rd Reich made jerrycans or literal workshop trash and just roll up to any gas station with one no questions asked?
Now you understand why lots of people despise the EPA. Not only do they introduce and enforce stupid rules that make life difficult for individual Americans, but the EPA is also regularly used by the federal government (usually when Democrats are in charge) to ding or impede businesses personally disliked by the administration. This also happens at the state level where state environmental protection agencies come up with some dumb, technical rule to kneecap businesses that the governor does not like (or may actually be competition for the governor's own business interests). Environmental regulations can also be used to harass individual citizens whereby a specific species of X (doesn't matter what it is) exists on someone's property, is declared protected by the state or federal EPA, and the government sends niggers to pester you about it whenever they want.

It would be one thing if the EPA's mandate was to improve air quality, protect waterways, fight pollution, and help combat global climate warming-cooling change. However, it ends up being used as a tool of Democrat administrations to fuck with people. Also, the Democrats and the academic industrial complex do not want the Trump administration to gut the EPA because - similar to USAID - it is a vehicle for sinecures and grants (slush funds). To be fair, there are legitimate researchers doing good work with EPA money, but the agency loses legitimacy when its supporters champion DEI and useless climate warming global death cult propaganda rather than highlighting successful brownfield programs.

What would you rather hear about: the EPA spending a trillion dollars for think tanks to jerk off about climate change, or the EPA spending a trillion dollars to clean up brownfield sites? The former is what the Democrats always talk about, so people think the EPA is a do-nothing agency. Good work, retards. Now your funding gets cut and you can't do either.
 
He did come from Georgia, but he never really repped it or advertised that. In fact I didn’t even remember until you said it. I figured he was Venice Beach 100%
A lot of people don't know this, either, but Georgia is the birth place of modern wrestling. The WCW was founded in Georgia. He moved to Florida when he was a baby, but would wrestle in Atlanta all the time. It was the birthplace of his career, really
 
No they 100% do. If you got a truck with the trailer towing package then it came in the same bag as the brake controller wiring harness. Or its in the glove box. If you got a car or SUV then its stashed in a few different random spots. Check your manual.

Well if it did it was never brought up too me, and nobody else seems to know either. This seems to be one of those things that has been studiously left unsaid.

Now that I think about it, I do seem to remember seeing this part with the tire jack and had no idea what it was for. The dealership never brought it up. May look to see if its still there. Its always been a persistent worry of mine of what would happen if I ever needed to refuel my vehicle from a gas can. Because Fords cannot be refueled from gas cans, unless as you say, they have this adaption plug. I just assumed that's just the state of play with Fords.

Not bitter about it at all, or the 5,000 dollars I had to spend rebuilding the fuel system in my vehicle either because the asshats decided to reinvent the wheel and create a capless fuel system with all the bells and whistles, to include propriety pumps and valves (that did not work). Could my local mechanic fix it? Fuck no. Too the dealership to fix. Did they fix the manufacturing default for free? Fuck no either.

I just assumed not being able to refuel the vehicle from a gas can was the final "fuck you, you bought a Ford".
