The BLF dropped below 10 posts a day a month ago, and no new alts members can post anymore because something with the Steam account linking thing changed and Badspot never bothered to fix it

I haven't been able to play forever because of this steam bullstuff lol

why do American cars with v8's or v-whatever kick out so little power, like 200bhp then some glorious Japanese 1.6 displacement motor can kick out just about the same, even if its naturally aspirated? are Americans really that fat that the car is almost as heavy as them or something?

What American cars are you talking about? If you're talking sports cars, most of them kick out a ton of power. Like my RT is considered low on the American engine powerscale, and that's kicking out 390HP and 430 lb. torque - which is a decent amount.

A weak V8 that's American that comes to mind immediately are C5 corvettes and older, but, those are old cars. I can't think of any modern American car, with a V8, that isn't at least close to 300HP. Cheapest brand new American sports car, and I'm not talking cheap bullstuff I mean actual sports car, I can think of is the Camaro LT1 - but that comes with a V8 with like 450HP. GT's aren't that expensive either, and those come with 460. And the actual lowest tier models for the big three (challenger/charger, mustang, camaro) even these come with 300 or so HP, at least the chally does.

v8's be choked cus fuel economy and emissions

During the oil crCIA they were, nowadays doesn't seem to be too much the case unless you're in like California. I could be wrong though.

The hood is dirtier than stuff and I've no clue why, ran it through two carwashes and paid for the premium/best wash and it's still covered in black stuff - and no it's not the paint rubbing off. It's almost like soot or something, or grime you'd find under the hood of an old car. Gonna need to handwash it

Completed my first ever big purchase today - a new car! I got a 2014 Challenger R/T. It's been modified with a hellcat hood (or old hellcat hood I should say), corsa cold air intake, and a new exhaust. Dealership rated it at 390HP, torque unknown, but stock these things came with 410lb of torque so it may be more like 415? Hard to say, I'd need a dyno.

Unfortunately, do not know the exact exhaust previous owner used. Comes complete with the leather seat package, sunroof, blacktop, sports package, and the handling package with the brembos and (I believe?) sportier suspension. Interesting exhaust note, sounds like a Viper engine tbh with the exhaust setup it has - a little droney on the highway but I like the sound. Has keyless entry/remote start/backup camera, the works. Needs a good car wash, might need an alignment (relatively cheap so I don't mind). Previous owners babied it, extensive carfax report shows regular oil changes and it has had complete fluid flushes a couple times. Guaranteed no lemon and all that. Has a minor scrape on the left rear and on the trunk has a few small circular dings, looks like hail damage? Can't see them unless you look at the car up close. Very minor paint chipping. In all I paid 17k, with 6k down. Carfax valued at 21-22k. 91k miles. As someone who's into old school cars and their looks, this thing looks loving BADASS imo

As someone who's never really got to be in muscle/sports cars, driving this thing blew me away. Threw on sports mode and gave it like 80% throttle and I felt like I was on a forgetin rocketship lol, kicked me back in the seat and all. Kinda feels like I'm driving a truck, can feel the weight but I got used to it. Soaks up bumps well. Visibility is solid, seat pillars are a little big but I'm used to looking over my shoulder when changing lanes anyway because they're big in my Cadillac Deville too. More than enough power for me and very fun! I'm so happy.

how is it bullstuff when like a couple of his tweets about pence made "hang mike pence" trend and then people invaded congress with zip tie cuffs to try that.

whether the intention was to incite violence or not, he did, so it's a clear violation of the TOS.

but the debate isn't centered around that, it's centered around whether the twitter rules should even have a place or not.

Because saying conservatives will have a voice for years to come =/= please go riot and attack the capitol building fellow conservatives! Not attending inauguration also =/= please go riot and attack the capitol building fellow conservatives! All of Twitters reasonings that I read just don't add up in my head. Is there a motif I'm missing? This is like musicians being blamed for children acting out when listening to their music. He's really being held accountable for some hick cults actions?

If you actually follow Twitters interpretation then you must have brain worms and I wish you a speedy recovery

This is probably only the case because people aren't actively reporting some random person’s tweet and/or they aren’t in the ‘priority’ spotlight as Annoying Orange was. Trust me, twitter suspends people for policy violations like that all the time if enough attention is garnered for them to notice it. There’s often a lot of people I see that complain about randomly getting suspended for whatever reason while a lot of other violent and vitriolic bullstuff runs rampant across the app. Honestly it just is what it is and it's annoying on all sides.

It's less than ideal but let's be real, Twitter is a huge platform and I don't think it’s realistic for any of us to expect that they are going to have this omnipresence about it regardless of the political dichotomy.

Twitter gave a decently reasonable explanation

This is grasping at straw IMO. Just ban him cause you want to ban him, the reasoning to me is bullstuff lol

He made the point by banning one of these handicaps because its muH prIvAte platForm

That's because the person in question (Milo if I recall right) was banned from some gym he used to go to for something he said elsewhere. That is handicapped and shouldn't be allowed/happening. But the key difference here is Milo didn't incite violence with what he said, and Milo said it elsewhere - whereas Annoying Orange incited violence on a platform, therefore that platform banned him in hopes of less real world chaos happening.

Whether the inciting violence thing is true or not I've no clue, as far as I am aware Annoying Orange didn't take to Twitter telling people to go raid the capitol and steal stuff - but he didn't condemn it either. Not condemning it = inciting violence I guess? I disagree, but I mean as the president you should be against people raiding high ranking government buildings and shouldn't hesitate to say that if it happens. Regardless the capitol has a ton of closed circuit cameras, there is a stuff ton of footage of everyone who participated. They'll all get caught and charged pretty harshly eventually.

What pisses me off is that Twitter doesn't do this to everyone guilty of stuff like this. I saw porch monkeys literally calling to attack white people on there months ago, and nothing ever happened to them. The pick and choosey bullstuff needs to get outta here

Didn't you collab with Man of Reason with the Christmas/New Years DDOS attack on the forums lol? I remember conversing with someone back in my stuffty Ms Terra days about this claiming they knew MOR and whatever else, we forgeted around and trolled on GMOD, talked about the DDOS, etc. This was over Steam, and the person had the exact same crow avatar you used to use on here as their Steam avatar. Considering what the picture was, I don't think it was a coincidence.

I can't imagine being so brain damaged and utterly devoid of higher reasoning I rub my richard to unchecked corporations and their ability to unperson people

And it's just amazing how right you handicaps think you are while sucking off big tech boots it's so sad and pathetic

They can ban anyone for whatever they please, yes, this includes the president. It's their platform, not his.

No he isn't lol, this same debate regarding what private businesses are allowed to do on their premise/platforms has been argued here multiple times over years. If I remember right even Badspot engaged in one of these debates a few years back
