Holy fuck, that sound…congratulations immamac.
You’re gonna be smoking so many dumb bastards out there (wait would people even try to race a wagon? Lol).
Gunnar has been saying VROOM VROOM all day pointing at the car and wanting to go for a ride. He woke up early from a nap and was literally just screaming VROOM VROOM all afternoon.
Went out and got a good video. The car wasn't on anymore so the horn didn't work.
We went to the "carwash" after and found a nice quiet place to do a race start with launch control after the drivetrain was properly warmed up. He was fucking loving it. Then we went to the car wash and it was one where you put the car in N and let it pull. If you are stopped and put it in N the car automatically applies brakes to keep from rolling away. I was telling the guys and they were both like what then I showed them on the dash and said "idk man it's a fucking racecar" then revved it to like 1.5K rpm and then they were like ok you can go through in drive. Hahahaha, weird that you can switch into neutral if you are moving, just not stopped.

Open discord and it's just automatic once you are linked. it syncronizes in real time.

There are no good political discussion forums anywhere on the internet. They have all polarized and solidified around their own particular dogma. Two things happened to drive this, neither have anyhting to do with Trump. It began before Trump and will continue long after he is gone:
1. Game psychologists figured out that points systems with upvotes & downvotes keep people checking back more frequently. All forums have adopted a system of the type. To get points and not get banned or posts not shown, posting behavior gets culled and shaped to the collective views of the few most active posters.
2. Professional marketing groups use the internet to quickly disseminate their messages, and these slogans and messages have infected the entire internet. Virtually everything that gets discussed is on the latest selected hot topic and the same crafted talking points gets repeated (or simply just linked to) over and over.
Go check out any forum on the internent and within two minutes you will know what type of messages will be well received and which type will not. The general consensus on poltical forums of all types is that everyone else has gone extreme or crazy, and they are simply being rational centrists. They all think others who challenge the dogma are trolls who flee in fear from their brilliant irrefutable logic. I have no idea why they think this, because true trolls do not flee from being countered; that is what they are after.
That's not true at all - there's lots of good discussion here that isn't driven off of an agenda or current events. I know that the threads with that as the focus are what you are talking about - but there are many other threads that are just great discussions on general policy and stance. Those are actually the ones that are the least polarizing because people aren't starting from a position of defending or attacking, just simply thinking and positing.

@blacklab already drove it. This thing is better than I even imagined.

treefiddy members only for discord - on the homepage on mobile it's at the bottom of the root forum or topic list view - you won't be able to see the page to link your account unless you are treefiddy.
Discord is a communications platform kinda like slack, but it allows for streaming, chat, voice chat etc. Right now really high velocity threads (like game threads) are synced to channels there, so on gameday instead of F5ing you just get the messages in realtime as they are posted. This season it will be bidirectional so you can type in chat there and it'll post here in real time.
We stream the podcast there, the games that we are going to call (like orange and white), and games that are not on regular TV for members.
I'm actually working on another streaming technology that I want to introduce and may just do away with discord entirely if I can get what I want to do done. I do however want to keep this "convenience" feature behind the very small paywall, it doesn't diminish the value of the rest of the site - just gets you extras.

We didn't have much of an agenda so this one is kind of a shitshow - there was also a huge outage in the middle of it for the site.

I don't wear shirts, sir, unless they're french-cuffed button downs fitting underneath a suit or blazer. Also, I believe that weak bastard does the Skoal pouch thing and there is pretty much as zero% chance that his wife would let him do that sitting next to her in public.
This also reminds me that we can now set an official time for the opening ceremonies of the SurlyHorns Olympics-Boxing Matches-Farmers Market-Rap Battle-Free Closing Ceremony Concert starring The Scabs and 311-Experience on September 4th, at 9am, at the UT intramural fields.
@immamac has graciously volunteered to MC the entire thing while we've been able to secure sponsorship of the event from @Daichee Bell and @RGBIII's local businesses.
After immamac's opening monologue, we'll start the first event with a fat guy high jump and then move to the sprints, 40 yard, 100 yard, and then a 4x100 relay where the minimum weight of a participating sprinter can be no less than 235 pounds.
Then a celebrity fighting match between @GlenFromTheMailRoom and whichever random other poster he always loses his shit on. Title fight between me and Geoff Ketchum from there with the only rule being that no winner can be declared until the other guy is dead and has shit himself on the canvas during his death rattle.
All the while, women and children can browse through the crowded and impromptu farmer's market and craft store pop-up.
Winners of the events get $10 Smoothie King gift cards. Coffee and kolaches will be graciously donated and provided by Mad Dog and Beans.
We're digging up and rolling out the bloated, std and weed-infested corpse of Bob Schneider to lead a reunion riff session with The Scabs and 311 to close things out.
Gear up, folks! We'll be posting a Sign Up Genie soon. SydneyCarton has already dusted off his track cleats from high school and claims that he finished 5th in state in the high jump his senior year and hasn't lost a step.
Holy fuck this would be the most incredible event. I'm going to see about 311 that will be the hardest part.

Hey don’t forget about Tom. He was totally making valid points before he got negged into oblivion. Or he may have gotten tossed by y’all, not sure. But he got such unfair treatment thanks to all the rep censorship you allow. This place is turning into HF now.
oh, sorry TJ was self-immolated and by request had me delete all his content. TTom was who I was talking about, got my crazies mixed up.

I guess you could technically say TJ Hooker and Kyle, but those were special cases. Your overall point is correct.
TJ Hooker went batshit and started posting literal Q Anon shit in all caps and ranting at people like a lunatic.
Kyle went on full moderator approved posting to try to save himself for 3 full months, did great for 1 month and then relapsed fantastically enough to get negged off the board.

I want nothing to do with CR, I think ive made like 10 comments there in 3 years.
while both of these are fair points, you also have the counterpoint, that if anyone with less than 500 rep points goes into CR and gives a viewpoint that has merit but is wrong because "its the other sides view" they can be crowdsourced in 2 fucking hours if a certain group has their way.
just turn off rep in the CR and this place will have far, far fewer fucking issues with magical internet point bullying.
Are you still posting on Shaggy or something? You do realize that the only people that have gotten crowdsourced have had hundreds of users neg them (and some passionate ones going to pick them off). The rep system on this site is so much better than it ever was on surly and no one is safe. Not even if you have 3.5k+ rep.
Just because you think you get negged 25 times doesn't mean you are in danger of being crowdsourced. Stop being a whiney bitch and learn to defend your position on a MESSAGE BOARD or don't post your stupid shitposts that get negged. There's a lot of people as stated here that if what you are saying is true would have been crowd sourced forever ago. There is 0 anecdotal or real data to support your claims on SURLY, on SHAGGY you are absolutely right.

there are 2 constitutional carry threads, 1 that is magically sans politics and the other where people are talkign politics in general. I participated in both from a very apolitical angle and from a very political angle. It's possible to have the same topic span both boards.

immamac does have a weird habit of at times really not caring about politics being posted in DT and then other times really aggressively going after any politics being posted in DT.
It's called being busy and reaching a breaking point of annoyance. It doesn't bother me to have political discussion personally in thread, but it bothers the shit out of a lot of people who just want to come and talk about something without political involvement. There is a board specifically for that, and it's pissing me off that people were overrunning DT with a "different kind of politics" because "they don't like the people that post in the politics board" it's fucking stupid. Go talk politics in the thunderdome.

Since when does rep total equate to rep strength? Thought that was only on TOS
It doesn't. There are lots of examples of people with 3k+ rep getting crowd sourced in a matter of hours. Stop fucking whining about a non-existent barrier to ban fucktards.

That's the quiet mode. Loud mode crackles and pops and snarls and the turbos dump boost so hard the pavement clears underneath. It's a fucking insane machine.
