Jeebus. That’s fucking wild.

This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I’m a few hundred miles north of where I was.

(Neighbors look at us like we’re crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.

Oh yeah, he’s a shithead just like his mom. Hopefully he loses all custody, the mother of the child is not a total shithead; maybe the kid has a chance.

Nothing wrong with vaping while being blown. Or smoking a cigar. Or receiving a handy. It can be very relaxing and plays into power dynamics.

negotiate, consent, bdsm, yada-yada…

I started working in shops around 2000. I’m so fucken over it.

Learn a trade, may not always pay great but you can always find something.

Live below your means, assume you could be laid off at any time. If you’re able to buy a house, don’t buy too much house.

I’ve known several men that were proud that they didn’t read books. (Not that they read manga or anything, either.)

One of them, in particuular, was a grown up version of a stereotypical highschool bully. Willfully ignorant doesn’t begin to describe him. I ever meet him in a dark alley, I’d fucking gut him.

Anyhow, this behaviour (pride in ignorance) among women is rare enough that I’ve never seen it. When I was doing online dating, I had great success asking what they’re reading and using decent grammar and vocabulary.

Anti-intellectualism and willfull ignorance have a lot to do with the situation here in the US. I think it’s mostly a male problem as well.

😁 Those dinky little engines were tough, run forever.

Mine was a chevy pickup with the Straight-6 and three on the tree.

Yup, and you had to regularly check the water level in it.

The car is probably something like a Chevy II.

Hidden by the valve cover, intake is on the far side, note the spark plugs on this side. Air cleaner has been removed. It’s a straight-4.
