I understand it to a degree. There are radical Muslims who do not do great things to gay people, but the majority of civilians who reside or resided there previously have not given evidence of any wrongdoing of that nature, but are getting blown up anyway. And blasted on the internet as dangerous Muslims

"The incident was officially attributed to the interference of unauthorized individuals."

Best line in the whole article lol

Probably not much at this particular point in time unless you mean getting blown up by rocket fire

Exactly what I was thinking. They're probably like "We'll set a hotel up for you in Syria or Lebanon. Trust us"

Me: Oh great wise owl. Share your wisdom

Owl: fuck off

Then the best I can suggest is don't let what anyone says get to you. You can only control what you do, and if someone tries to manipulate you, and you catch it too late, well that's just a valuable lesson for the future

No brigading, or trolling to make someone angry. Trying to bully people into submission isn't ok. A light poking is ok as long as it'sin good faith, but really just talk to people like you're face-to-face.

Improve your empathy. It sounds hard, but when you focus on body language it gets a lot easier. People will give away what their goal is before they even spit a word. You can say "Hey" to them and that is most of the time all you need.

My goal is to have a chuckle or general discussion despite what side people are on. I believe light teasing of the other side (and even your own side) opens serious dialog because you are acknowledging your side is imperfect, just like the other side. If you tease the other side and take yourself too serious, then that's bullying.

Second, and with all due respect, everything you say can be easily summarized. And please don't misunderstand, I believe you're absolutely right in everything you have said, and I appreciate your detail to make sure you're not misunderstood. However, every comment has been an essay. That takes so much mental energy for you. I can respect the effort you put into your comments because, godamn, it takes a lot with how much work you put into them, truly kudos.

However, I see it as building a front page for a resume. If you put too much meat onto the plate, then they're never going to eat the potatoes. You want a filet mignon with a baked potato. I absolutely mean no offense. Just wanted to say that you could say the same thing with less words

Awesome. You're the best. Thank you

The tires look fairly fresh. If I was able to post pictures, I would, and my jetta is all stock, so that's nothing to worry about about. However the rubbing is something I'll have to look out for because that's just going to cause degradation on the inside of the wheel well right?

My ultimate goal is to keep it legal or else my neighborhood will tow it with warning. I live in a big city with little U-turns, so I could get away with the inspection and get better fitting tires and re-sell if need be right?

I feel bad about instance blocking though. Like I did it with HB and pre-emptively grad, but it just feels like I'm cutting a whole people off because a minority group pissed me off. I'll probably give it a week or so and unblock the instances because there's absolutely no way that everyone sucks there
