People feel empowered when they can hide behind a computer screen.

We have plenty of the know it all's and petty arguments on this forum too.
?Well you know, if people would stop posting illegal actions (catless and removing reflectors) like it's OK, there would be less. And really there is Rule 14 that should prevent those discussions.

If you're still on Facebook it's your own fault. Congratulations you have probably made it to the FBI terrorist list.

So, I see pages all the time on Facebook, the algorithm must watch what I browse late at night. I've also noticed just browsing and pausing long enough on a picture, gets you many more similar pictures.
I saw a post last night about some propeller making picture.
A guy did a big post on all the stresses propellers are under, and he said the centripetal force is trying to tear the blade from the hub and stretching the metal.
I was not sure if centripetal force was the right term for that, so I just posed the question (after having to join the group) and I simply asked "centripetal or centrifugal? Maybe I got taught wrong in school"
Well, I never got to see my question answered, I got banned for flaming a well known and respected member of the page.
So wtf, was I wrong on my understanding of the terminology. Its going to bug me for days now.
Facebook is weird.
Dude. Get the F off of facebook... (said with love and friendliness)

Ha catless is old news. Now we're talking EGR deletes.

Perhaps Facebook just isn't the place for you anymore if it's that touchy.

You should spend your time more productively by lurking here and learning about truck bed height, catch cans, the dangers of fuel in oil, and maybe even 303-coated tailgate dampers.

Now THAT'S entertainment with an educational twist!

Good luck, friend!
And lots not forget dampers and single piece driveshafts ???

Well, actually if someone wants to really get snobby:

"Centrifugal force is not considered as a real force in any standard terms, but it may be used to measure resultant forces or reactions in a situation in an easier way."
" It's not really a force; it results from inertia — the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or motion. "

We cant even get news on Facebook in Canada anymore, so literally, its lost pets, stolen cars, did anyone hear those gunshots/fireworks last night and people arguing over our stunt driving charges and how much that goes against our charter of rights and freedoms.

When I switch up my VPN's location it's surprising how many countries block videos and websites. Then I switch to US and can access them. Probably because the US servers allow it so they can track you.

I had to leave FB due to my nature. The older I get the less candy coating I can produce and I am just blunt and to the point. So not really total fault with the end receiver and part of the blame lies with me. 99% of time I'm not trying to be malicious, just brutally honest. We all know text and conveyance don't really mesh well, so its just an overall lose-lose for me.

So an example of this would be if I am part of say a Ranger FB group and someone posts,

"Hi I am new, what do you think of my truck?" and then they post a red ranger with lime green vinyl graphics on it.

My response, "Looks like crap."

Of course this never ends well for me. People assume I am a dick, or I get moderated, or any other number of things.

All I know is they asked for an opinion and I gave it. I look at it like this; If I had a giant booger hanging from nostril I would hope someone would man up and tell me I have a friggin' giant booger hitching a ride as I go about my business.

1% of the time I run across people who understand my intentions, everyone else thinks I am just a walking ball of prick sauce.

Regarding the booger, it depends if I like the person as to whether I would let them know or not.
I hang with people like me, who also don't sugar coat things. The brutal honest truth is better in my opinion.
