People have given up their ability to think. Critical thinking requires an unbiased approach, but many these days simply restate the position that their political party feeds them. Select your opinion from our menu, you know? As an example, I put forth one time that man-made global warming cannot be proven. People of all shapes and sizes jumped down my throat on that one. But my critical thinking tells me that widespread use and accurate data collection from accurate thermometers is less than 100 years old. So how can we know the earth is 1.2 degrees warmer over the past thousand years? Simply put, we can’t. And without such information, we can’t really know climate trends, either. Not a climate rant here, but rather, a thinking rant.

Would agree with Sean here. These ads are atrocious. I pay for the Tapatalk app on my iPhone and it seems to do the trick just fine, but whenever I log onto T4R on the computer it is absolutely swamped with ads.
On another note, I'd be curious to know who owns T4R. Tim made some solid points about the moderators on TW banning anyone for nonsensical things because I personally have seen it firsthand in a thread that I was apart of. I don't really go on there much now these days but it is what it is. I wish T4R was still jumping like it used to back in the day when I first joined.

I could certainly do a better job than the Idiot in Chief Biden.

There's differing points of view, and then there's an aggressive desire to not believe or accept straight truth since it doesn't support ones inner narrative.
There's also just being older and kinda stuck in ones thought track, thats a thing for sure, too.
What's the saying, when does a groove become a rut too deep to get out of?
I'm just do my best at 55 years old to not get stuck in a rut, by simply asking questions and keeping an open mind. You know, like an American, accepting of the melting pot of cultures, and ideas that brought us things like burritos, bluegrass, IPA's, 4Runners, etc.
Thinking that one is in possession of "the only viable way to live a life" is an incredibly slippery slope into the group think most dictatorial governments prefer.
I run a business. I have political thoughts like anyone else. Never in a million years, would I make my business an extension of my politics. Why? Because bikes need fixing, there's a wide swath of humans with bikes out there, but their political, social, or sexual orientation doesn't mean their cash doesn't put food on my table too.
I liked this place better when it was about trucks, not who lost the last election. Odd, don't think I've run across any progressive minded folks trying to makes this place know who they are, but maybe I just missed it.

1) Moving this to General Discussion as it's not 3rd Gen related.
2) I use DuckDuckGo and Malwarebytes Browser Guard add-on (free) on my laptop and phone and never see any of what's been posted here. Annoying pop-up ads yes (phone only), whether I'm logged-in or not. Give it a try.

This is where the problem is Bro. Who is the arbiter of truth? Facebook Fact Checkers? The Government that is beyond corrupt? The Pharmaceutical Industry that made billions from the covid vaccines, and who obviously greased the palms of politicians and government agencies like the CDC? During the Covid Pandemic, everyone who was a proponent of wearing masks, social distancing and corrupting their body with experimental vaccines kept on saying they were "Following the Science". Oh, you mean the science that isn't based on science? Masks didn't do shit, being afraid of your fellow man and staying isolated in your home and keeping children out of school didn't curb transmission of the virus through society, and vaccines didn't do shit to prevent people from getting the virus or transmitting the virus like it was promised to do for people. The vaccines actually have done an unimaginable level of harm to people's health which isn't widely discussed. Anyone willing to do their own due diligence and research what these vaccines have done to people will understand the level of harm that has been done to society.
People have to do their own search for the truth. You certainly aren't getting the truth these days from the main stream media, our government, or from Facebook Fact Checkers. Just because you and all your liberal leaning pals believe something, doesn't mean it's the "Truth".
The interesting thing about Conspiracy Theories is they stop being Conspiracy Theories when they are proven to be true by REAL scientific scrutiny. As a society, we are being lied to at a level I've never experienced in my lifetime. Open your eyes and your ears and don't bury your head in the sand.

I miss the old days of forums.
Searching for things and making build threads, etc is so much better on a forum compared to the FB groups.
Most of the ones I used to frequent are gone but I hope this one sticks around for a while.

No more crazy ads.
Yeah. This took care of it for me.
I agree 100% Their all going extinct .
Noone wants to maintain them.
I had a fishing forum for our local lake here in Ga. and back in 2015 it was FULL of posts everyday
Now noone has posted since 2019 and it was someone trying to buy the Forum to bring it back... Noone ever responded..
