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. Mostly the lower tones around 1500-4K rpm is where the exhaust would normally filter it out, so I just hammer on the gas to keep it out of that range.

In some ways it's kind of sad how naïve they are. Go up to the guy and ask him nicely to stop being an butthole? It's depressing knowing they thought that would work.
These are people (the guy in the truck) who can't function in normal society for whatever reason, and while I don't know exactly what that reason is, it's not because they were too nice and accommodating.

And there's that one guy who chimes in with "Maybe calling the cops on a poor person isn't a good idea", because OF COURSE THERE IS. "Maybe we should just pass a law making it illegal to not have a catalytic converter". I doubt that it being illegal really matters to the guy living in his truck, and how are you going to enforce it without calling the cops?

It basically is illegal to not have a catalytic converter anymore already. Pretty sure it's federal law that cars manufactured after like 1975 to be made without and then most states and federal laws make it illegal to remove it.

This is why I dont understand the hands off approach so many people take in comment sections and life in general.
Like "WoOoOoOoOoW maybe you should try anything other than kicking their butt??" Bruh the frothing crackhead clearly didnt get into this position because he was concerned about the fabric of society.
Its like when theres a fight video with a raging degenerate and everyones surprised that they're a repeat offender. Like really you thought the crazed moron getting hauled off to jail over a McFlurry just suddenly had a lapse of judgement? Dude has priors for assaulting fast food workers, what did you think they were going to do when they got out with zero consequences??
Jump in the discussion.

With these in particular it's because despite the shit they talk about frick the police, if they ever had to talk to a LEO it would be "yes sir, no sir, three bags full (of pot) sir", and they can't conceive that crackhead Steve would actually resist arrest unless the cops had done something really brutal first. You see it with the instant "What did they do to deserve it" on any video of a 🏀 attacking a mayo too.

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?

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.
I get called a fascist fairly often by wokies on reddit. This is why I'm very skeptical of anyone trying to justify violence on the basis they're fighting fascism.
Jump in the discussion.

Ok, so what if "fascists can't be reasoned with"? There're plenty of people who can't be reasoned with. Nationalists in China, religious-cels in the Middle East, communists in Cuba, Western communists on Twatter, wokies on college campuses, the list goes on and on. Do you think something special must be done with them as well?
Jump in the discussion.

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.

This is why my backup plan in the event of a full societal collapse is to become a ruthless warlord. After a few years of anarchy, people would be desperate for law and order, and they'd support anyone who offered it to them.

The same redditors that post acab make the top comment an essay post about a noise complaint not getting enforced. It’s all so tiresome
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
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.
Long story short: im drunk and should be immidiately euthanized. Ill check my mail for the pullitzer

you're way overthinking it. all these redditors are mostly of good breeding and just innately follow rules. they think people who don't follow rules somehow have a morally justified reason. they never think (or they never publically say) that these rulebreakers just don't have the holier-than-thou morals that they have and a lot are just bad hombres.

Yeah because this was about a noise complaint you disingenuous fricktard, not a literally violent mob. You all hate the cops till you have some minor gripe like “a car is too loud” and now you want a man with a gun to go solve your problems for you, but not in a way that offends your soft hands. So you denied him every other tool too, don’t lie and pretend it was just one.
You also created a climate wherein nobody who’s sane would ever become a cop and now you whine that your stupid little noise complaint isn’t prioritized over the 100+ active DV calls on any given night.
