  • As someone who fishes, it could be many things. First, if they leave them, they serve as great fish habitat. Fish don’t have eyelids, so somewhere to find shade during the sunniest bits of the day is great. And it breaks down into rust over time.

    It could be for rescue diver practice. Sinking most of a vehicle to go mess with in a controlled setting is better than learning on an actual rescue.

    And if this happens a bunch with bets and all, it could be a way of gauging when it is no longer safe to be out on the ice like you said. It’s always a gamble anyways, but that is pretty solid evidence of how safe it is if you know that body of water.

    But it could just be redneck bullshittery. “The South” is anywhere 20 minutes outside of any major city in the USA. Go drive around and look, I promise it works. That’s how you get shit like this. They are everywhere.

    I’m not a GTI expert, but have you looked at the diverter valve? Or the charge pipes and connections? Either could be leaking boost, and I had a similar issue with my Mini years ago that turned out to be the diverter valve.

    Good luck!





  • Maybe the HOA should pay for his roof then? You know, with HOA fees.

    I get there is nuance, but times suck, people can afford less, and HOAs have become a way for people with tiny dicks to harm others. If we used them as a a way to identify and address issues in a neighborhood in constructive ways, it wouldn’t be an issue. They are about power.








  • It’s not about not labeling bad people a certain way, it’s about not using what has become a slur to describe them at the expense of those who have been labeled that for real medical reasons. And who have been labeled that because they are different.

    You sound really fucking stupid right now, and I have explained why. If you can’t bear to change for the better, you may as well be one of the idiots on the right. I’m not convinced you aren’t, actually. As the other guy stated, you have an entire dictionary of words you could use that aren’t at the expense of others, but your small mind can’t even find one that isn’t the bad one. You are the problem here.


  • Progressivism is about making progress. Being better/doing better when given the opportunity to do so. You seem to not understand that.

    Just. Do. Better. That’s all anyone is asking. You are using the same illogical tactics that the right uses to defend a word that is no longer used as it has been co-opted by people that use it in a harmful way. We move on, choose more inclusive language, and that helps people. Especially when others don’t have to figure out the context of the word to decide if you are being descriptive or just an asshole. Right now, you are being an asshole…and looking at the votes it looks like others agree.


  • Why continue? You are the one that can’t figure out new words and terms. Do you have a learning disability? (For reference, this is what is most commonly accepted terminology these days. For anyone with a physical disability or from a disease process, “person with” followed by the disability or illness is what is used eg: person with Mamothmothman disease.)

    Hope this helps, but it sounds like it won’t.
