  • I can’t speak on behalf the other moderators, but what I can say is that personally I have a pretty high bar for actually deleting stuff.

    If a post or comment is clearly in breach of rules AND (offensive OR spam OR of no quality), then I might delete it. If it’s only mildly against the rules and it isn’t really hurting anyone, I might just lock it - most content have an audience, even if it’s technically against the rules.

    Sometimes I even leave a post intact with the only mod action that I pin a comment saying something along the lines of “Technically against the rules, but it gets to stay because of (insert reason)”




  • Off the top of my head: Leather seats, AC, scheduled preheating, cruise control, modem and wifi, loads of 12V and USB outlets throughout the interior, sun roof, seats that all have more adjustment points than I have joints, HUD, steering wheel heating, automatic high beam dimming, lane assist that actually works, good sound, ability to save and recall presets for seat and mirror adjustments, 360 degree camera view, Bluetooth that isn’t a PITA to use,
    And most surprisingly: An app that is actually useful - it let’s me remote start and lock/unlock the car as well as upload navigation destinations to the infotainment system. And it notifies me if I forget to lock my car (which I now have started caring about for the first time in 20 years). It also automatically logs trips with addresses, making it convenient for when I need to file an expense claim for work.


  • New car. You remember those infomercials with the grey unhappy “before” video followed by a colored and cheerful “after” ? Yup, that’s pretty much me nowadays.

    My old car was durable as hell, easy to maintain and all that. But my new car has so many creature comforts that I cannot imagine myself without them anymore.

    Plus with 7 seats and AWD the entire household finally fits inside, and the mountainous terrain where we live is no longer a problem when the roads start icing up 8n the winter.

















  • Yeah, that was my impression too. He started like a “normal” backpacker who traveled europe to see other places, but unfortunately “free spirit supporting Palestine” to “contrarian susceptible to russian propaganda” is a really short pipeline.

    Just for the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with supporting Palestine, in fact I do so myself. But sadly too large part of this segment of people tend to sway too far into the “west bad” direction.
