I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

The Internet is a massive force multiplier. This is why groups like the heritage foundation works to research how best to utilize it. They don’t focus their people on public protests or half the shit the left does.

That’s my point: the left doesn’t have the equivalent of groups like the Heritage Foundation to figure out how to do that force multiplication. It takes resources to do that, and the only people supplying the resources are doing so in service of capital, not against it.

Just think for a minute how many people have shown up to protests across the country for the past 10 years. Think of what they could accomplish if they instead created content like this.

A protestor and a trained think-tank analyist who does propaganda as their full-time job are not interchangable. You can’t just tell protestors to create content like the right-wing bot farmers instead; they don’t have the skillset for it. They also don’t control the platforms like Murdoch, Zuckerberg and Musk do, for that matter. There are many, many strategies that make right-wing propaganda is so effective that left-wingers simply cannot replicate without a fuckton of money, no matter how much unskilled volunteer labor they have.

No one was harmed by the haka.

The vote was delayed.

Did he fucking stutter? If anything, it sounds like delaying the vote was an attempt to prevent harm.

Maybe some of the other members feel intimidated now.

That doesn’t count as “harm” either, you dishonest ass.

Twisted Sister: “We’re not gonna take it!”

Narrator: “They did, in fact, continue to take it.”

No it isn’t their full time job.

So you’re saying the staff at orgs like the Heritage Foundation aren’t getting paid? Where’s their $108 million in expenses (according to Wikipedia) going, then?

Martok has a saber bear rug in his room. It’s not dead, you know, just scared like the rest of us.

Martok does not own an oven, stove, or microwave. That’s because revenge is a dish best served cold.

Martok doesn’t go hunting because the “hunting” implies that you might not succeed. Martok goes killing.

Martok can kill two stones with one lotlhmoq.

Martok was once bitten by a venomous mugato. After a month of excruciating pain, the mugato died.

If Martok fought a transporter duplicate of himself, they would both win.

In an average crewman’s quarters there are a hundred objects Martok could use to kill you. That includes the room itself.

Martok has never cheated death. He wins fair and square.

You keep making bullshit blanket statements. You need to understand that not all compromises are the same – what you compromise on and why matters. AOC was not ever going to get the party to budge on Zionism, so what’s the fucking point of destroying her credibility and effectiveness on other issues by tilting at windmills?

Speaking of which, you have no credibility and I don’t give a fuck about anything you have to say. Go away.

It’s also significantly more expensive than slate or a maverick.

Yeah, it seems like it’s in a different class than a Ranger/Maverick/Slate, at least in price if not size.

It also seems like they’re still in the “throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks” part of the design phase, talking about things like the midgate and the storage tunnel under the bed that might double as a footwell for third-row seating. Between that and the almost-cabover design (which I kinda like, but which would be pretty unpopular among people who care about crumple zones) I’m pretty skeptical that the Telo “truck” will make it to production, especially while keeping all those promised features and specs intact.

Edit: also also, I could be wrong, but I think there’s a point where towing capacity gets limited by how small the towing vehicle is in terms of weight and/or wheelbase, regardless of how strong its motor, brakes and frame might be. I’m a little concerned the Telo might be pushing that limit.

if AOC acts like that, how is she ethically any different from the likes of Pelosi?

If you’re too fucking stupid to understand things like compromise and strategic voting, that’s nobody’s problem but your own.

Take a really hard look at yourself

You need to take your own fucking advice and quit being a condescending dipshit.

Because it’s literally their full-time job.

I can confirm that the Maverick is pretty much exactly the same size as a '90s Ranger, having parked my Ranger next to one before. The proportions are pretty different though, with the Maverick having a larger cab (four doors) and a proportionally smaller bed. A Maverick (and probably the other two you mentioned) would definitely be a good choice for people who think they need a truck for personal use.

However, there is one problem with all of those vehicles, which is that none of them are actually trucks.

You can tell the difference between a truck and a not-truck (a car-based “ute,” like an El Camino) by the fact that there’s no gap between the cab and the bed. Real trucks have body-on-frame construction, not a unibody, and can have the pickup bed replaced with custom flatbeds or utility beds or whatever.

In some sense it often doesn’t matter because a unibody ute would fit most people’s needs just fine. Until you want to do actual truck stuff, and then it matters. For example, the Slate Truck is rated to tow 1000 lbs, the Maverick is rated for 2000 lbs (or 4000 with the tow package), and a '90s Ranger is rated for up to 6000 lbs. (Mine can’t do that – it’s an I-4 manual 4x4, which is the worst configuration for towing – but an appropriately-configured V6 automatic 2WD one can.)

They put in the work because the oligarchs are aligned with them, so they have a basically unlimited firehose of money to pay people to shill for them.

Meanwhile, leftists have to rely on volunteer labor.

If my representatives fought this proposal, calling them does no good.

That’s not necessarily true. Even if they’re on the right side of an issue, calling them can still be useful by helping encourage them to continue to hold the line.

I am getting real sick and tired of fake-leftist concern trolls pushing bad-faith purity test rhetoric.

It came in two wheelbase lengths, and we have the longer wheelbase

TIL! Mine is apparently the long wheelbase version, so that’s nice.

Most modern minivans are smaller than that Sedona and have significantly less cargo space. If you’ve never driven or ridden in a Tahoe, they are bigger on the inside, no question.

I have been in the inside of a Tahoe, but I admit, it’s been a very long time so I guess the new ones may very well be bigger than I expect.

Also, I thought the Kia Sedona was a “modern minivan.” Mine’s only… uh… 18 years old. Oh.

Well, it’s modern compared to my other cars, at least.

Still, I don’t understand why a 2025 minivan would be smaller, especially when the trend for every other class of vehicle is to get bigger over time.

Meanwhile, I just still own a small pickup built in the '90s in 2025. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A Tahoe has way more space

A Tahoe has way more bulk in terms of exterior dimensions than a minivan, but I dispute the idea that it has way more interior passenger+cargo space. Even if the width and length are the same (e.g. big enough for a sheet of plywood), the minivan’s interior should be taller (because the floor isn’t so high above the ground) and the seats should be better at getting out of the way.

A minivan can move six people but modern minivans don’t really have space for luggage for six people for nine days in the back.

I’ve owned a long wheelbase Ford Aerostar and, more recently, a Kia Sedona, and I’ve gotta admit I miss the Aerostar. Still, the Sedona definitely isn’t small.

YSK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_car

Some jurisdictions require that auto makers offer low or no emission vehicles, a vehicle is considered a “compliance car” if it is clear that the company producing it is only doing so in order to comply with these regulations, rather than viewing them as a source of profit. This is generally identified by low production volume, sales limited to only regions where the law requires it, and low effort design.
