Please tell me the guy behind Precision Transmission isn't a chud. I've only seen a few videos but there is something really fascinating watching someone do something in 30 seconds that would take me 20 minutes.

They're in ruralish* Texas so not great odds. He did start wearing gloves based on viewer comments though which, while a depressingly low bar, is a level of rationality beyond what I would expect from your typical chud. *Not super rural but it's certainly not Austin.

Why are we trying to deduce what people do in their time off. And I don’t need to know if a dude likes fat hairy dudes, more power to them but I want to hear about cars and computers and weird tech. Why does anyone give a gently caress what flag they got behind them? Why can’t people just talk their politics or sexual poo poo with their close circle of friends? Why do I need to k it if you or me likes girls or guys? Can’t we just talk about poo poo without our private lives creeping in? There is a guy I met on a rooftop bar in Nashville, with a group of his friends, since everyone needs identifying a black guy and I’m white and southern as gently caress. I can count on every Father’s Day he wishes me one bc he knows I have kids. I’ve visited him in Alabama and we’ve gone on epic bar crawls…me looking for girls and guess what I’ve just inferred he is gay and BIZARRELY it has never come up. Bc we like drinking and going out and he knows I like the ladies. One of the best people I know. I didn’t tell him I like girls, he didn’t tell me he likes guys romantically. Why would it matter?

There's a difference between hanging out one-on-one and promoting someone and their business that goes out to thousands of people, especially when there are dozens of other channels that do the same thing.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Because gently caress nazis, op. This. op you don't have to point out that you're white and southern, your post does a magnificent job of that for you. It also is glaringly obvious that you've never been around an automotive shop or community as topics will always going to devolve into crude jokes from politics to objectifying women. And its always a "joke" till it's not. This comes with high stakes and can have serious consequences in rural bumfuckistan where social groups are as small as their minds.

It ceases being entertaining when I know I'm financially contributing to a chud. Maybe have some principles, yeah?

I feel like as someone in the automotive field, a solid majority of people just assume I share their chuddy views, when I'm firmly in the "eat the rich" camp and have no issue saying so. But I'll gladly make sure to add the "rear end in a top hat" charge to my hourly rate and take their money anyway.

MrLogan posted:I think the new Corvette is really good looking. They look much better is person than in photos. Agreed. It's not the prettiest car ever, but they look good, and from what I've read they punch at or above their weight performance wise. I think a lot of people just have their opinion dragged down by Corvette historical baggage. Which I get, but you'd think being easy to mistake for something exotic and triple the price at a glance would be an indicator they look decent. It's, like, praising with faint damns.

I'm straight, DON'T like nazis or chuds even if they do make interesting YouTubes, (DO like the new Corvette aside from the fact it's only driven by 60 year old chuds, and went to West Hollywood on Tuesday for sushi (Japanese) with another straight friend (Black) and stayed around after because all the PRIDE bars down there were having a great time so we stopped in and had some 40 oz margaritas (Mexican) in a bar filled with a bunch of off duty drag queens straight outta central casting (Los Angeles) & a with big ol' gay mural on the wall featuring lots of skinny dudes with 12 packs in speedos. I took pictures using my Samsung S22+ (Korean).    Also I like nuclear and wind power and V8 cars that get 14mpg (German). Thanks for listening!

Nothing wrong with it trying to get T-boned by a tram cause the driver stopped it. That and Tesla just unceremoniously fired a huge number of the people working on their AI training so look forward to more of these sorts of stories as things like street trains change livery and no one is there to identify it for the algorithm. Also I used to love Tesla cars for the electrification part alone (and would consider one if they just dropped the autopilot bullshit and put that money into QA) but now the only reason I want near one is to see if I can develop some adversarial imaging that makes them drive themselves into walls. Not to rehash the EV thing but I want EVs for the future, I just want Tesla to crash or be bought out so we never have to hear from Musk again.

It's "easy" to mistake for "something exotic and triple the price" only with the squintiest of glances from the right angle. But everyone still knows what the rear of it looks like (hot garbage, and has since the C4) and the completely ridiculous and underwhelming interior. Like it's real bad, even at it's price point. So if that's the "historical baggage" you're talking about, yes - it's plenty of reason to have a low opinion of these cars. None of these are overwhelming problems to correct, GM either doesn't care or doesn't need to based on their target market. And that target market obviously isn't someone like me or the other people with a similar opinion. If you like them great. They're cheap for what they are if you don't care about the interior quality or how it looks and that makes for a good deal for you.

Not that anyone cares but I was a tech/mechanic at olds/Honda and Lexus in the 90’s. It was awesome and yes our jokes were beyond filthy but at any of those shops it felt like home and family. And not to pander but it didn’t matter, No matter who you were. And you will say oh it didn’t matter to you of course I get that…But…I had forgotten I was a detailer at a big ford dealer for a short time and it was ugly. Offensive even to me. I had not even remembered being there.

Heard a story last night about someone who did that years ago! They were high on mushrooms, were passed by a cop, freaked out, ate the rest of their stash, got super high, crashed off the road, and were so burnt to poo poo when they finally found people, they ended up in the hospital.

Coincidentally both of them are furries  CRD is very much the more modern loud proud communist queer type furry, but Mr. Regular is one of the super old school types who was around back in the web ring days. You can even find his old youtube channel where the last thing he uploaded was him doing his Gonzo journalism shtick on a like 00s Anthrocon. Definitely not saying it's impossible, especially given the time period back then, but if Mr. Regular was any kind of chud I'd be surprised.
