The guy has a bunch of battery packs in there and insists on idling his engine several times a day an hour at a time to charge them. So now everybody around him has to live with the deep humming sound typical of an unmuffled engine idling, that goes through walls and everything. The simple solution of course would be to fix the muffler (even skipping the cat converter, just a pipe to reconnect would do) or I don't know maybe move away from other people a bit? But no, we asked him twice, no way he can do that because why should he and go F yourself.

Before the pandemic I took my exhaust system off and sent it out to get repaired/modified but they went out of business and I’m still trying to track it down. So for the past year or so I’ve been running straight pipes and holy shit it’s loud and annoying! I wear noise cancelling earbuds when I drive so it’s not really my problem.

It’s not too bad. It has (had) the special-wishes program sport exhaust and X51 package so even without mufflers it’s like a finely tuned instrument.

Noise-cancelling headphones have been by far one of my greatest purchases. No matter how loud or annoying the world is, I can just click the dial and escape into the wonderland. My hearing actually got better now that it doesn't have to compensate for wordly noise

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

I’ve never been a fan of headphones.

When I had a MiniDisc player I’d use Koss PortaPros but this was in the 90s when they were just nerdy and not back to being cool yet. Great headphones though but I want something I can lay on my side with.

I’m also super neurodivergent about things covering my ears, touching the top of my head, or my neck. I have non-verbal Tourette’s any any of that shit can become a physical trigger.

When I got the first iPod the headphones didn’t fit my ears so I got a set of Shure in-ear monitors which sounded great but the wire insulation hardened and cracked.

I’ve had the old clunky Bose ones for at least a decade that were gifted to me and were light enough to be comfortable but once I started my blue-collar larping I kept getting the cord caught and beat the shit out of them. So I got a set of the 3M Bluetooth ear protection muffs that don’t have noise cancellation but kill enough noise so that I can run a chainsaw while listening to C*m Town, but I’d look r-slurred in normal life with those.

I really wanted some Bluetooth earbuds but most of the ones I looked at had major downsides and I figured the hard plastic AirPods wouldn’t fit into my strange ears. Then the Airpod Pros came out that would solve the fit problem, but it bothered me too much to pay $250 for something with a battery that would only last a few years.

Anyways, last year my girlfriend at the time got me a set of pros for my birthday and I’ve used them every day since but with the memory foam tips instead of silicone. I don’t think I could ever go back to something without transparency mode. The right one developed a rattle about a year in but I took them to the Apple store and they just swapped them out with a new set.

I do feel guilty though because the gf who gifted them to me basically ghosted me the next day which was weird but oh well I got some great headphones out of it.

The people in r/portland would not hesitate to condone someone punching the "fash". If you tell them that violence is not the answer, they'd tell you that fascists can't be reasoned with and physically hurting them is the only appropriate response to their existence. Of course, there would also be plenty of "muh Paradox of Tolerance" utterances to explain why certain opinions must be met with fists. So they (the r/portland crowd) believe that the "fascists" must be eradicated with extreme prejudice while murderers, thieves, junkies and other antisocial criminals who literally cause misery and deaths to others can be reasoned with and rehabilitated back into society? :marseyconfused: :marseygigaretard:

The argument "fascists cannot be reasoned with" is exactly correct. The issue isn't the accuracy of that claim, it's that they label anyone that challenges them a fascists thus creating a permission structure to attack anyone they want.

Ok, so what if "fascists can't be reasoned with"? There're plenty of people who can't be reasoned with.

I mean if you believe there to be an uptick in fascist rhetoric and right-wing extremists gaining ground politically, it makes sense you'd favor a more dramatic and intense response to said threat.

The idea is you can be sure the fascists won't be wasting time trying to reason with anyone if they obtain real power.

We can't reason with middle eastern fundamentalists, but they also really aren't a threat to our overall well-being.

Human threat response tends to be based on whatever is on the top of your mind at any given time. For the people we're talking about, rising fascism is the most present and local threat.

Is this so crazy? Lots of criminals are just poor, desperate or addicted. Some mixture of welfare / education / rehab would help most of them.

Is there some kind of fashy rehab too?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy between their undying support for rehabilitation for actual criminals vs their murderous wrath on those they consider to have heckin' wrongthink. For the record, I think many, if not most, criminals (with less serious crimes) can be rehabilitated back into being stable and productive members of society. And I fully support having more social programs to help them successfully make that transition. However, I also don't think it's feasible to just expect people to receive help because you're offering it. For me, the carrots have to come with the stick. Homeless people or drug addicts who commit crimes, for instance, should have the choice of either going into government programs (e.g. rehab for drugs, schools teaching useful skills or trades, living in govt. housing that has strict discipline and schedules, etc...) or going to jail. If they choose not to receive help, they should be removed from society until they're ready to be integrated back. I think that neither the rightoids' view of harsh punishments alone nor the leftoids' view of endless leniency would help to reduce overall crime rates. Just my opinion though. :marseyshrug:

Honestly its because theyre all upper middle class sheltered teenagers. They literally cant fathom breaking the rules because for their entire life theyve never had to break a rule for anything because for theirentire lives if they want something they follow some rules in order to get it. Upper middle class means they have the ability to get what they want within the confines of either the law or their parents rules.

Its why "would you steal bread to feed your family?" Is such adiscussed question. Any normal person would say "yeah duh" and if asked about the moral implications theyd laugh, these dorks would hem and haw over how "acktchually it IS morally ok to steal in that instance!" rather than just admitting that morals stop mattering when you need something bad enough.

Point is they think everyone is like them, and if someones breaking a rule theyre obviously just unaware that theyre breaking a rule inthe first placeandasking nicely will fix the situation. I pray for the day cops are actually abolished cuz people likethis will immidiately haveto choose between putting up with unacceptable stuff or forcing someone to stop what theyre doing.

Half of portland's voting block are unironic communists who don't believe in prisons and want to abolish the police, not improve their training or healthcare.

In 2020, 40.8% voted for Sarah Iannarone, a communist. 46% voted for Ted Wheeler, a progressive.

Within Portland Iannarone is merely progressive, and Ted Wheeler is considered conservative. (Iannarone lost because a spoiler candidate who was actually radical sucked away votes, or so many in Portland believe.)

You real mindfricked if you think Iannarone was actually communist in the sense of abolishing property ownership. You can't enter the system without desiring to operate the machinery of the system. If you want to be mayor you have to take on the powers the system awards the mayor.

Do you also think Kshama Sawant isn't a real socialist just because she was on the Seattle city council?

Many of the police want reform. They’re tired of playing lawyer/therapist/adult protective services. Everyone thinks cops love going to mental health calls. They absolutely don’t.

Their working conditions are wretched. They need more time off, and better pay allows us to hold them to a higher standard. The public is just determined to find some way to scream at the cops since they don’t want reform, they just want to scream.

Yeah we need to be working with them to find solutions and sometimes that's going to mean telling them things they don't want to hear. Sometimes that's going to mean listening when they tell us things we don't want to hear.

Since it involves people listening to each other and finding common ground, it'll never fricking happen

That’s kind of where I see it going. They want to harm cops. just like the right never really supported cops, they just support harming black people. All semblance of reason has gone entirely out the window.

But do they need reform? Before Covid America had the lowest crime rate in America's history. Crime had been going down for decades. Sure we weren't close to Europe but we never are gonna be. The system worked well and was the best America could have. It generally kept criminals down and protected citizens. Sure it wasn't perfect but perfection is for God not man.

Yes, 2 factoids about cops;

  1. they only care about collecting a paycheck and being tough.

  2. They straggots.

That's a recipe for lack luster law enforcement. Add :marseysick: foids :marseysick: to the mix and you've got a disaster.

For the best results in law enforcement, all cops must be gay men and only lovers can be partners. Only then will cops have genuine sense of duty.

You act like objective reality matters to politicels. Just like how communism will surely work this time, even when Seattle and Portland burn to the ground, they'll just say that abolishing the police will surely work this time and true abolishment of police has never been tried.

"Waaaahhhh, we can't do our job without tear gas and shooting rubber bullets at people's heads." LOL, what a bunch of fricking babies.

PPB: "We deserve enormous salaries and respect because we put our lives on the line"

Also PPB: "We're not going to get out of our cars if there's the slightest chance we might have to engage with people instead of being able to shoot them from a safe distance."

So really, what this guy wants is for the police to go kick the shit out of some people to put them in line like they used to do back in the day. Except the cops know if they do that it's just going to make their lives miserable. Make up your mind Portlanders, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

believe it or not the contradictions of policing are apparent to Portlanders. The black bloc is more or less looked down upon within Portland because property damage happening all around you sucks hard.

But you have all the evidence before you that the police become a violent gang with the badge of the state.

Yes? The only reason police exists at all is this. If we wanted to have a bunch of r-slurs with guns and a burning want to shoot the BIPOC on call, we'd just use the army for law enforcement, like in the 1700s. Would be cheaper and more effective at that too

Actually, unironically abolish the police and just use those lazing-about afghan drop-outs for half pay (as punishment for their defeat)
