I bet this guy screams "Am I being detained?!" at meter people when they ticket him for doubling parking like an asshole.

This is what unmedicated mental illness looks like.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

At This point he doesn't even need a license plate anymore. Just tell the cop "you know who it is when you see it".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

"Oh, that guy? Yeah we've had some run-ins with him in the past."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Aw man, my first thought was "I gotta tag Bones; they would like this!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Americans molest their cars in ways nobody else does.

Brazilians would like a word with you. A very, very, very loud word at 2am

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Owning that car should result in an instant prison sentence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

As someone who's had many nights of sleep ruined because of neighbors with similar setups, I agree

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm getting NFSU2 flashbacks from that picture.

Does it have neons also? Or is it LEDs nowadays? And the pop-up LCD?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pop up LCD? No, but there's TWICE DOUBLE NOISE EXTRA PLUS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's hilarious!

Turn the volume to max and play this track and watch how every thing in line of sight shakes and vibrates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Was sure that you were tricking me, but turned out a good click. Even tho' this is how you all lost The Game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

You mean that Game? Not the other?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

I’d bet local LEO are familiar with this guy.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean, this probably works. I bet most cops see this and think “man I don’t want to interact with him”

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When you're trying to make your ticket/arrest quota, a guaranteed metric is hard to resist

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Last year for work, I attended a 'dealing with customer aggression' workshop run by a police negotiator. The main thing I remember from it is that "prior history" is cop-speak for "dude's a fuckwit". :)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Let’s face it, they’ve 100% talked to this man before will talk to him again and would like to minimize those encounters.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

I imagine most people in general have that reaction

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Here's one of the local looneys I see around regularly. This dude spent money on it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this guy trying to suggest that oxygen is bad? In his case I would agree that it's probably not a habit worth maintaining but generally speaking I tend to find oxygen to be rather agreeable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I have no idea. They're all nonsense words on there. However, you can have too much oxygen, but I'm guessing that's not what he's on about.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Goodness. Imagine spending money on..... This.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't brave enough to scan the QR code. The owner is a bloke in his eighties by the look of him. Wisdom doesn't always come with age, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

It just links to their Instagram page

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

The deafening irony of writing all of that on a Volkswagen.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What makes people do this, in particular? Writing little screeds on every square inch of their car?

I swear I have seen this exact psychosis develop and present in the exact same way dozens of times over my life so far, and it has been convincing to exactly 0 people in that time. I don't know that for sure, but I mean, look at them. Who, besides other cranks, is that really speaking to?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The psychosis isn't trying to convince anyone.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

That is not necessarily true.

A giant part of the engine that powers the Great Wheel of Conspiracy Theories is the intoxicating allure that anyone who follows along will be 'in the know', and once all is revealed, everyone will come crawling back them begging for forgiveness and fawning praise on them for being so ahead of the game and in-the-know.

The desperate attempts at convincing everyone around them are an early sign of Conspiracy Brain, and is what then leads to the further effects of Conspiracy Brain, which is everyone around them getting annoyed, yelling at them or pushing back with an attempt at a serious debate, and then self-isolating and choosing to only associate with a clade of similarly-online weirdos who self-reinforce one another and enable a greater separation from the plot that the rest of us are following along to. The overwhelming majority of these people are not grifters, they are rubes. They are believers, not the cynical, power-obsessed, fascist element that is using them to put a bridle on federal power.

I know I asked the question originally, but I only asked because it has been such a present thing in my (meatspace) life. I've seen friends and family disappear down the same hole, all the same way, and all the same end up here, at 'crazy asshole filling every square inch of his 1989 dodge hooptie with magic marker writing' all the same. I don't get why it happens this way.

My best guess is that this is the last way possible for people who have been deeply isolated by anger and rage to communicate their dumb theories to people they haven't exhausted yet. Perhaps the effect of utterly exhausting everyone around you is the common cause of it all.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Totally disagree. In their psychotic mind they probably think they're igniting a revolution with their writings

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I honestly think people are lonely and just want someone to listen to them, and when they are mentally ill this is a strange method they use to communicate.

I'd say he ruined a perfectly good car, but it's a VW, so....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think he miss a line there, the spell won't work now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

It's not written at 45° or in red. Invalid!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Lol. I knew a guy who refused to tag his car because of some sovcit bullshit reasons. He changed his mind real quick after his wife got a ticket for driving without a valid registration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He hasn't got a licence plate so clearly he's now on trackable.

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

I kind of get it. I used to own an mk4 Jetta, and it almost drove me crazy. That car was an unreliable piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bet it was fun to sell a car to this person.

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

Sir, may I recommend the Volkswagen, this model it has greater surface area.

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

The back of the car is completely obfuscated by the shit graffiti. This thing might not even be legal to drive just for that.

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

Message unclear. No really, what an absolute mess.
