You can't siphon a trucks gas just because it has a blue line flag. Most modern cars have an anti-siphon valve, so that causes issues.

Instead, you locate the fuel tank and drill a small hole in it. That way you can let the fuel collect in a tub or jug. On lifted trucks this is even easier. Drill the hole, pop a large jug under it, perhaps use a small rubber hose or funnel.

Remember to leave them a little note that you've drilled a hole, so they can go get it repaired and not leak fuel everywhere attempting to refill it.

Install a self-tapping valve, then you can drain the next tankfull even easier.

With this approach it’s best to not leave them a note.

Self tappers are great. Don't forget your gasket so they don't notice a drip.

Is that why I couldn't siphon my gas that I needed for a generator after a hurricane? Not only did I fail at what I thought would be an easy task, I got sick and threw up in my 95⁰ house

May as well take that cat converter while you're down there, for good luck.

It also spits in the face of the U.S. flag code 🙄

These fucking chuds would wipe their ass with the flag if they thought it would "own the libs", they don't give a fuck about country or civic duty.

Fake ass patriots can't even display the proper Murikan flag 🇺🇸 smh

Step 1. Poop in a bag.
Step 2. Grab the bag from the bottom and pull it inside out so it's now acting as a poop glove.
Step 3. Shove the poop under their door handle and then use the bag to wipe excess visible poop away.

They might not know it's because of their boot licking but they sure as hell will start thinking about things a little more.

You had me at poop in a bag

I heard cars with those decals have too much air in their tires.

Do them a favor and let some out

It also means you can fuck their spouse as long as you don't hit them...

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Yeah, hitting the spouse is their job.

On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the "Thin Blue Line" is pure idiocy, I don't think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is a high chance that someone shoving that thing-blue-line bullshit probably own a gun and are desperately waiting for an excuse to shoot someone for even the most minute reason. And they had said "FAFO" 3 times already that day

A counter example is Richard Spencer, the Nazi, getting punched in public twice and then saying in an interview that he's afraid to go out in public. He faded from the limelight soon thereafter.

You also think beating up fascists is "a bad way to make them see reason"? It's entirely not the point. You beat up fascists to make them be afraid of openly being a fascist.

Lol what’s a tater tot?

And by stealing their gas you are probably just reinforcing their stereotypes on crime and what the police response should be.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

A Tater Tot is a mindless follower of some very punchable asshole called Andrew Tate. Also in regards to your second point, while that is true, they will and already do have that stupid stereotype ingrained in their racist minds anyways. Might as well take advantage of it.

Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is pretty sour, and bootlicker gas... tastes pretty good!

Ricky didn't steal your gas, it was "raykins".

Also love when he tells Ricky he can smoke, the cops in the courtroom pull their smokes out too

For us non US citizens, can someone explain the flag please?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

This flag is called "Thin Blue Line", which is a pro-police symbol. The origin is from the thought that supposedly the only thing keeping peaceful society insulated from total anarchy is a "thin blue line", or a small number of law enforcement officers who voluntarily put themselves between the two.

However, as noble as the origin sounds, the flag itself is only a modern artistic creation that can trace it's actual creation to the counter-protest of the "Black Lives Matter" movement in support of the police (the ones who were the subject of accusations of racial bias and discrimination against blacks in America) and it often interpreted as a racist dogwhistle, supporting acts of police brutality, extrajudicial killings, and authoritarianism in general.

It's a pretty right-wing affiliated symbol and you see it in conjunction with a lot of other conservative virtue signaling, iconography, and stereotypes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The thin blue line is a symbol for the police. Used in the UK and US.

As a reaction to Black Lives Matter protests against racist police brutality, the (far-)right coined the term Blue Lives Matter to protest violence against the police.

Of course, the whole thing is disingenious. They support the police because the police in the US are often racist and they like that the police disproportionately beat up black people. When rioters stormed the US capital after Trump lost the election, plenty were waving blue lives flags, and didn't actually seem to care that much about endangering the police guarding the building.

TLDR hyper-partisan US political virtue signaling associated with the far-right.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was wondering when you said UK too so I did a quick image search and..

Of course it's fucking real.

Not american but that flag came about in support of the police after all the police kept killing innocent black people.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Bootlickers say they support the police with it. The same police that kill innocent people with no knock warrants and face little repercussion.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's the blue life matters flag used by right wingers to show support to police who are fighting the black lifes matter movement.

If you saw someone stealing from a thin blue line person. No you didn't.

What's that wannabe USA flag?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the "thin blue line" flag, cop apologists essentially.
