just wait. it will work. we promise.

no, don’t be critical of us not being able to give you any details. that’s mean. just trust us. we know better than you.

when people decide to divide people up into ‘good’ people and ‘bad’ people.

this naturally means they want to punish the bad people and boost up the good people.

Yeah. I am getting an Integra.

It’s the only decent hatchback that is sporty that’s left. And it’s not cheap either.

The civic hybrid is really good, it just came out. Much better than the Prius. But there is very limited selection.

people like bigger cars for many other reasons.

they are more comfortable. they are safer, they fit more stuff. they have more features than smaller cars. they are often quieter.

and if you have a family you need a larger vehicle to fit kids and pets.

who is your authority for morality? God?

it’s not a mind game dude.

the people you think as evil, don’t think they are evil. they think they are good and you are evil.

if you get away from the stupid bilary of ‘good/evil’ you might better understand that life is more about what goals other people want and what they are willing to do to accomplish them.

You think Trump is evil probably, but for those that support him he is doing justice and truth to the world and fighting for good, because it’s the leftist/liberal forces that are causing evil.

the funny thing about life is most people think you are good… until you disagree with them or try to get in the way of their goals. Then you are evil.

you always ‘win’ if you aren’t trying to win.

so stop trying to win.

what sucks is when you see what they are saying but they refuse to acknowledge the merit of anything you said or your perspective.

amen.

most people don’t get that thinking is a painful process. just like physical exercise.

and hence why most people desperately avoid it at all costs. most human beings aren’t willing to train for a marathon anymore than they are to become expert thinkers.

but they live with a lot of false delusion that they are really good at running/thinking, when they aren’t.

FYI this is also backed up by science. thinking requires more energy and is unpleasant.

not thinking ist pleasant and comforting and our brains very much prefer it, just our bodies prefer being lazy and fat.

you could both… not listen to partisan sources of info… they exist.

they however, wont’ be as easy to digest. because they won’t be telling you what you want to hear.

who determines what helps people and harms them?

them, or you?

because a lot of ‘help’ actually does harm. and vice versa

what if helping another person comes at harm to you? there is a reason bystanders are not suppose to run into burning buildings or saving drowning people… because the most likely outcome is they themselves will also burn/drown. professionals who are trained to rescue people are a different story.

and you are just a bad faith actor.

the only good revolutionary a traitor to the revolution

there isn’t some grade arching meaning or purpose in life.

there is just shit that you do. or don’t do.

way too many people are hyper focused on intent and day-dreaming, not enough on actual action.

You completely miss my point. It’s not a fallacy if you don’t agree it’s a fallacy.

There is no universal set of rules for argumentation. They are agreements of convention that are context dependent.

Like in philosophy we don’t accept arguments from authority/precendent. But in law argument from authority/precedent is completely valid. It’s almost as if different disciplines have different rules.

But hey, if you want to go try to score points in football by throwing the ball in a basket, and telling everyone else they are fucking idiots for not having a basket on the football pitch… good luck with that.

it’s only a ‘fallacy’ if all participants agree to the rules that declare it as such.

those cars are large compared to what japan/europe drives. and huge compared to a compact car from the 90s.

The Honda fit hasn’t been sold for several years anyway. The fit was ended in 2020. A 2026 corolla is 3000lbs, and the same size as Camry was 10 years ago.

most teens are driving compact cars. don’t know what you are smoking.

Yeah my state taxes you based on MSRP too. $25 per $1000 of value, 10% of MSRP value after 5 years.

So if your MSRP was 50K, it’s $125 forever.

the average carpayment is 750 new, 500 used. I bought a new car last year and my payment is $300. technically i could afford like a $1000 payment.

americans often pay like 30%+ of their income to cars. And yes, they actively choose to do this. Nobody is forcing them to buy a 60K F150 over a 30K sedan.

cars are way bigger than they were 10-20 years ago. My 2017 civic is larger than my 1995 Camry, and not much smaller than my 1989 4Runner. Mostly because of safety features. My 1995 didn’t have massive crumple zones and 20 air bags. it had 1 airbag.
