I've never driven in a place that gets snow every year, so no idea whether those things are good advice or not. They sound dicey though.
the screw will either be forced inside the tire eventually and create a flat or it will break.
the sand paper could remove the ice, but if you use for a minute too long, it will destroy your glass.  Just use a scraper like everyone else.
loosening the screws is dumb, all it does is that your screws may break.  Just carry some WD-40 in your trunk, in case of need.
the anti freeze in break fluid is unncessary for most climates.  I don't know about Antartica, but nowhere near inhabited area is it cold enough to justify that for North American and European cars.  Well, maybe a Ferrari requires special attention.  Then again, you shouldn't drive it in winter :D

I am pretty sure you don't want to mix your break fluid with anything. All those advices are satire

QuoteAccording to the UN, today is World Human Rights day. Yet all of our human rights are being violated by this prison-industrial-corporate-state-complex led COP 21 climate negotiations process. Negotiations over whose islands will flood? Which people will die? The seas are rising and so are we. Violence against the people is violence against the planet. Time for a Just Transition away from extractive, violence-based capitalist economies, toward a life-based, healing, and ecological solidarity economy. ‪#‎ClimateJusticeNow‬ ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ ‪#‎IndigenousRising‬ ‪#‎JustTransition‬ ‪#‎COP21‬

We will no longer extract resources but run everything on love and joy.

The #‎BlackLivesMatter remind me of the following statement I saw when homosexual marriage was legalised in the US:

He also liked his own post. Not sure what to say about that.

It is bombastic but not something that doesn't have a worthwhile point. Course polite speech doesn't get attention.

Donald Trump is showing that. But of course it does make you sound like an insane fruitcake. So I guess it is a double-edged sword.

People who want to disregard the message will always find a way to do so, unless forced not to.

I get assaulted with so much insane radical garbage from everybody on a constant basis it would be so refreshing to see something polite and well thought at some point. Why do you think flinging shit with the rest of the goofballs means more attention that people are forced to listen to?

I tried scrolling through my facebook feed for a while but found nothing political except for my politician friends posting news articles that supports their cause.

Quite boring really.

The increased attention given to black people in the past 2 years or so has come from black people being polite.

Last year I unfriended about 30% of my 'friends' on FB. I'm not following another 30% or so. I only have to log in once or twice a week to keep up.

And Donald Trump's run for the Presidency has not come from him being polite. But just getting attention is not sufficient. You also have to convince and call people to action. The protests and BLM and all that got my attention but that do not seem to have anything substantial or new to say or anything I could do to help. Then it becomes the occupy movement.
