@runaway_vol It's kind of like multivitamins. It may not extend your life much but it certainly improves your quality of life.

I forget how many high school seniors ruin their lives in various ways this time of year right before graduation.

There's a state trooper at the gym who pisses all over the bathroom floor. I would like to warn him that he needs to drink more water.

The rhythmic sniffles coke users get is a huge tell.

25 years ago I did an estimate of every tool I'd need if I never wanted to borrow any, it came to around $125,000. I have a black version of this toolbox. It's probably more nowadays with computers and such. I use some pirated software and a data cable to work on my van. Last week I removed the speed limiter in the computer the last fleet owner put on it.

For those of you that have never worked as a professional automotive technician, you may not know that a technician's set of tools and toolbox may cost more than your new car. The shop does not supply a technician's tools. Technicians have to purchase them with their own money, and they continue to have to purchase more tools as technology keeps changing.

@Ruesavatar @oliveegger Most of my middle-aged friends who died from covid thought it was all nonsense. That could also be because I live in huge majority red area. It was certainly an interesting time.

@oliveegger I feel like a LOT of people would virtue signal blue, then vote red. Covid was a massive black pill for me in this regard- it was absolutely a ruthless “every man for himself” scenario and many people died who didn’t have to.

I want a dystopian novel about the aftermath of a red victory. Characters navigating an “every man for himself” society, maybe the main character is someone who virtue signaled blue but chose red in the end

@PunkyCovfefe That was my discussion with the dude. I got basically half the shop charge back when I was a mechanic. He gets around a 20% now. They still supply all of their own tools and such. It used to be a decent career. The people I know who do good at it now have their own shop.

@onebigorangecom It’s sad that they’re being underpaid because when I see the labor charge for repairs at a dealership it’s really expensive. Someone’s getting paid.

I went to a dealership to get a key made for my new/used van and they made an actual technician stop what he was doing and give me a ride home. They used to have a person for that job. I let the dude know it was bullshit. He just seemed to accept it. He also made less than I did at that dealership 25 years ago. Nuts.

Automotive Technicians are underpaid and under appreciated today. I am curious to who agrees and disagrees with that statement. Lots of misconceptions on how they are paid and what its like to be a technician especially in a new car dealership.

I finally watched this movie last night an area director and acquaintance made. It was like watching everyone in my acting classes in a movie. It's doing well on Amazon.

@Junkyardtactic That person is successfully engagement baiting so they can get their numbers up to get monetized.

@Ruesavatar I have some wild stories meeting people from here sometimes accidentally. It put me in contact with people way outside my social and economic circle but we connected personally.

Met an Irish woman on here who eventually asked if I wanted to meet for coffee if I ever happened to be in her area. I agreed. Turns out she lives 5 minutes away, and three years later I consider her one of my besties. So yeah, meet your mutuals. ❤️

@Ruesavatar I'm like 90% sure that once the algo figures out what you like talking about it starts to condense you into a geographic location and matching like profiles.

@humbleblazer There's a lot of stuff like that the last ten years. I was thinking yesterday how the best time to buy something lately is now. The work van I use went from 30k to 72k in a few years. A tool I needed yesterday went from $300 to $840
