Since the news refers to "trans women" as women, when they say a mass shooter was a woman, you need to investigate this. [00:01] DaemonFC Because there's all of a sudden a lot of trans women doing mass shootings, and it just proves same brain. [00:22] DaemonFC Nobody pointed out that "Audrey" Hale's hate crime was against Christians, and specifically by murdering their children. [00:23] DaemonFC Similarly, when the media covered Elliot Rodgers as an example of "White Incel" they forgot completely, to mention that he was half-Asian. [00:23] DaemonFC They just left that out entirely. Didn't fit the narrative. [00:23] DaemonFC You can't trust the news. It's where inconvenient facts go to die.

[00:26] DaemonFC schestowitz: There's a reason why I use top tier consumables in the Buick and change them out frequently. [00:26] DaemonFC The car has to last a while. [00:27] DaemonFC The electronic throttle bodies are usually pretty reliable. More reliable than the one with the accelerator cables. Used to be that in the midwest the accelerator cable could rust and snap on you at an inopportune time. [00:28] DaemonFC Or get snagged and hold open the throttle. [00:28] DaemonFC They can still suffer carbon fouling, so you do need to clean them. [00:28] DaemonFC Nobody ever does. [00:29] TR News "Struggling in the quiet moments is something I've been working on with my therapist for quite a while. This has been a problem my whole life: I get home, it's quite and dark, and I'm all alone. My friends are busy, I have no one really to talk to, so now what?" gemini://thewomaninmyeye.org/log/loneliness-and-solitude.gmi [00:30] DaemonFC Most people don't know that you can actually damage the throttle plate by pushing it open while cleaning it. You should turn the key to "on" without starting the car and have someone push the accelerator down. It will still command the throttle open even without the car running. You can clean it then. Or push down the accelerator with a wood board and push the driver seat forward to prop it. [00:31] TR News "Good evening, I feel incredibly exhausted, going out of town tomorrow despite going out of town so many times these past couple months, but hopefully this will be the last one for a long time. Recently, I have been thinking more about what having a child will be like. Not that I have any plans for it in the near future, but it is a thought I keep pondering on." gemini://midnight.pub/posts/1790 [00:34] DaemonFC > Blaisey Arnold knows this firsthand, three years into owning her Chevy Tahoe. The mom of three says in her viral TikTok video that she financed the vehicle at $84,000 and paid $1,400 every month for the past three years, which comes to around $50,000. [00:34] DaemonFC > Yet the North Carolina mom says she still owes at least $74,000 on the car loan. [00:34] DaemonFC Just in time for it to start acting up. [00:34] DaemonFC I'll take "How does 14% interest work?" [00:35] DaemonFC "In another video, Arnold says that her husband pays 14% APR on his 2020 GMC AT4 Sierra 1500. She adds that his monthly payment $1,600 is greater than her own." [00:35] DaemonFC This is insane. [00:35] DaemonFC This is beyond insane.

[00:37] DaemonFC > Do not pay so much for something that is so irrelevant, she warns her followers. [00:37] DaemonFC > Arnold decided to ditch the Tahoe and buy an Audi in cash so she wont have any more car payments. The reason she can do this despite being in major car debt is because her TikTok career has taken off. [00:37] DaemonFC How does she have any cash to buy a car with cash after dumping so much money into a car loan she's not making any progress on for three years? [00:37] DaemonFC "In one of her videos, Arnold shows that she made nearly $4,000 off of just two TikTik videos in March." [00:37] DaemonFC And gave it to GM? [00:38] DaemonFC "Paying cash for a car is the best way to avoid any interest, but its not possible for most Americans." [00:38] DaemonFC Buy a beater car.
