He will sue you!!

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That would make sense. Especially being that a penny-farthing is all of the worst things of fixed gear.... made more difficult and dangerous

I agree mostly but whats really funny about this episode is the meta around it.

They actually attacked a lot of things in the episode and every joke is actually pretty good

spoilerCartman's whole B-Plot is outlining exactly where they are creatively. If it's not controversial to say mean things, then whats the point of Cartman? Making fun of and pissing off Trump is their best chance at comedy right now.

Saddam voice is a great attack because they didn't waste time trying to parody a wannabe middle eastern dictator

Likewise, because South Park Trump IS just Saddam. It is unlikely he will become a liked character like Mr Garrison's Trump parody was

They haven't used the F slur I think since season 13. They took two slurs that you can see people trying to mainstream again and directed them at Trump specifically numerous times.

For the record, I credit SouthPark for removing that word from the Zeitgeist for my friends and me. For a couple of months in 2009 thats what we called Harley riders, and then the joke got stale and with that the word just quit being said by us.

The main punchline of AI Trump naked in the desert is a direct challenge to use the "Take it Down Act"

I like to think that the episode wasn't for fans as much as it was for Trump and team

I think the pay off (whether in real life or in the show itself) will be amusing in the end

I don't imagine stopping too fast on a penny-farthing is much of an issue.

They are brakeless so its all about pedal resistance... with no mechanical advantage

She is a tank though; her leg muscles are massive I bet she has great control and can get it stopped no problem at reasonable speeds

WD40 don't lube shit!

Its good for getting seized things unstuck but you should always follow with a grease or oil after cleaning.

Getting into bicycling lead me down a rabbit hole of lubricants, anti-seeze compounds and grease.... I can't stop!

Tri-Flow is my go to in this house

If you are really good at what you do you could avoid a lot of the mess by driving a classic. (Scouring junkyards)

The real challenge though isn't just that the parts will have tariffs; It seems like auto parts in general have taken a massive hit in quality

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Tariffs are new.

They will push average prices even higher but the average new car price has been around 40k for a few years now.

It's crazy to me. I just focus on my personal debts and pay off timelines and ignore my credit score these days.

Banks were willing to give me mortgages a couple of months ago that I in no way could afford based off my score (it's actually good). None of this is grounded in reality; prior to 2020 those same fucks wouldn't even pick up the phone for me.

....... Try that shit in a small town?

Not the arbitrary made up numbers that some how go down every time I pay off a car loan!!!

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like cars, and even some luxury cars...

but it takes a special type of person to purchase a car that's 2-3x as expensive as a basic commuter to own and costs 2x to operate.

Think about all the Hellcats you see (not luxury... but)... 70k and under 10mpg for a fuckin 2 door

And by GTA V The Grove was taken over by ballers :(

I know SD and HD are separate universes... but it would make sense that no matter what GSF gets pushed out

Likewise, it fits well as GTA storylines never really have a happy ending

The only real hoop you have to jump through is to go through the online training course which takes about 30 minutes and is all about administration of the drug

I received my package today and feel it's important to have around with the current rise in opioid overdoses.

Their kit does not include CPR masks so I recommend purchasing some to keep with your doses. (Won't share a link due to Amazon boycott)

I would've bought some ages ago if I lived in a bigger city.
