Acting like a liberal is of course included in liberal ideology.

Anyone can be cured of liberalism before it decays into fascism. They’re hoping you get cured.

Political correctness is what racists think being woke is, which is why they’re angry.

When did academic journals just start publishing nonsense? When did conspiracy theories like a shadow cabal of evil people that record the rich and powerful abusing children become obvious reality? When did literally hundreds of government officials state UFOs are real, they’re not human, and there’s a good chance they’re not natural phenomena?

Science only has trust if you can trust those with the means to verify the work, do actually verify the work. The reproducibility crisis in all scientific fields was at a peak before LLMs were on every single phone; now there no such thing as trustworthy peer reviewed research that can be reproduced, even if the money was there to test everything that was published.

Tl;Dr the entire scientific world lost credibility and a whole lot of conspiracies were proven real as more CIA docs got declassified. Anything might be true at this point.

You’d need a language everyone recognizes no matter what their primary language is, and one that anyone could get a translation for should they run it through any given translation app…

Sindarin fits all the parameters thanks to Peter Jackson’s contributions to spreading the language to every single major region.

Most conspiracy theories have at least some truth, with the rest being assumptions based on things proven true. Is Jeffery Epstein an agent of a shadowy super organization that spent decades collecting evidence of rich and powerful men abusing children to keep them under control?

Maybe. Parts of that are undeniably true, and the rest of that also happened separately(see finders cult). You’d be a conspiracy theorist to combine the two though, especially if you were to present this information in 2003, despite both things still being true then.

As far as your actual point; whistle blower have “committed suicide” by shooting themselves twice in the back of the head, dislocating their joints, and shoving themselves post mortem into a duffle bag in a ny apartment. (See CIA whistle blowers, NYPD whistleblowers.) Its not crazy to assume someone that took on someone powerful was killed and was made to look suicidal, that’s literally something that has happened thousands of times in the last 5 decades. As to why, it’s easier. It stops official investigations. Its over with and must people will assume it is true and anyone that questions it will be a crazy conspiracy theorist.

Are the gusanos in Florida finally reaping some consequences for their actions? How sad.

Just like the pit of infinite despair and spiked dildos is technically different from the pit of infinite spiked dildos and despair; being to the left of republicans because you want to burn orphans for warmth instead of fun does not make you left wing nor a good choice.

He’s a billionaire, and he’s a normal billionaire at that. Investing is literally the only thing they do.

Do try to find a source for this weird bit of misinformation, if you’re so confident.

They genuinely aren’t, Muerza in South Africa and a variety of other local brands across Africa and Asia have cheap cars.

China cuts it down further by completely subsidizing education and opening vocational schools near factories that specialize in what those factory owners need, allowing hyper specialization. When you have an entire neighborhood able to produce all the parts of a car, instead of importing parts from across the world and assembling it like us car manufacturers do, you’re able to massively cut costs.

All manufacturing in china takes this approach of having almost enclaves of specialized knowledge and factories, and is genuinely an engineers wet dream to work in since you can get any part you could possibly want the same day, even if you just designed the part yesterday.

So your own source shows the dimensions increasing every single generation to the point of more than a 20% increase in some dimensions… Are you sure that’s what you want to use to defend your deranged worship of giant, indefensible trucks that have explicitly proven to be larger and less safe than their predecessors?

I don’t personally use a picture, because I’ve been outside in the past few years and can literally see the difference in real life. I was suggesting pictures for you, so you can correct yourself and understand what people are talking about in this thread, since you haven’t been outside yet in your life.

I really don’t care about random numbers you claim to have found that go contrary to reality.

So… Your point is the 2004 ranger is smaller, and makes the 2024 ranger look bigger because it’s so much smaller?

Good work agreeing with me while trying to be clever but entirely misusing the idea of forced perspective.

Sure, the spec sheet I’ll look at is a picture of a 2004 Ford ranger and a 2024 Ford ranger, one of which is twice the size of the other while having more limited visibility from the driver’s seat and headlights set above the average height of cars from the 1990s, ensuring bright ass headlights in your mirrors no matter what.

It absolutely is, and facts don’t get trumped by misleading facts.

Its not even a difficult thing to understand. You’re on the internet and have an infinite number of pictures that refute your idea.

The problem is you’re arguing against what people have actually experienced, and in cases where they’re in an area with persevered older vehicles on the road, can directly see.

Rangers are now the size of old f150s, f150s are now larger than older f350s. Trucks are just bigger, period. All newer vehicles are just bigger and bulkier than older (90s-00s) vehicles.

Its a massive safety issue, it’s been studied in actual scientific journals, it is a fact you can’t really deny at this point and it’s weird you’re trying to.

Mostly automation and sensible regulations. Also direct to consumer sales with third party dealerships not really existing for new cars. Also generally a lower cost of living allowing for lower wages and thus lower labor costs for the non automated parts.

It does make sense, as regular cabs cannot be bought on new trucks. All of them are crew cabs, decreasing their utility and increasing their weight and size.

As far as the general argument. Look at the headlight and start height of a Ford ranger in 2002 vs today.
