I may post things you don't like.

“White House hires advisor to help avoid autoworker strike”

Most ~pro-union~ president evar.

Negotiations don’t kick off until July 17th, contracts aren’t up until September 14th. Maybe there will be a strike, but a lot of that depends on which automaker sets the pattern.

Might be funny if the UAW creates a schism in the AFL-CIO by refusing to endorse Biden. Would be the second time the union did that [the first time was a divide from the AFL creating the CIO and only later did the groups merge].

This kei truck shit is so annoying. Now do payload capacity of those beds, let alone towing capacity, range, number of occupants, etc

Show me which one pulls more pussy

Hm. I want to say “no one is pulling pussy with a 5ft bed” but if you’ve got a crew cab with a 5ft bed, you wanted/needed a family vehicle that can haul recreational stuff/has cargo space you can spray down with a hose.

So like. Obviously you pulled enough pussy at some point to make kids.

Memes should be short because the punchline is you being able to get the joke by the reference. Memes with too many words are like a joke that has to be explained.

Social media algorithms are definitely set up to piss people off.

The “hood side” women have been replaced with people gladly referring to themselves as 30 year old teenagers.

every year, without fail, someone in my neighborhood starts test launching fireworks at 7pm.

buddy. pal. friend. it’s far too bright out at this hour for you to be wasting your explosives. you’ve lived in this state long enough to know it doesn’t get dark enough for fireworks until 9:45-10pm.

get it the fuck together.

Day 2 of someone launching shell fireworks during broad daylight hours.

do you just like the noise? is that why you do this?

dunno what I did to set it in motion, but I ended up getting dozens of ‘recommended for you’ videos of upper middle class white women acting like they have a “hood” side because they used to dance nasty to Top 40 pop-rap.

usually in the style of ‘my kids didn’t know I had a hood side’ video where they proceed to dance nasty in front of their 8 year old.

btw you should absolutely read stuff you don't agree with. you should think critically about it. you should reflect and find different stimuli and maybe even form your own thought based on or opposed to it. ideas aren't contagious and reading words someone else has told you are "bad" won't infect you like a virus and make you "evil". read with your own brain.

but its so cute and go beep beep

People who drive tundras don’t drive them for any of those reasons

two trucks?

TWO TRUCKS?

cease

That’s not a Tundra, that’s a half ton Silverado. Looks like a Z71 too, which means it definitely doesn’t get used for any of the things listed above.

Thought I lost some new plants to the drought because I couldn’t water them enough without just leaving the hose running for hours.

Turns out they just went dormant and have since revived now that we’ve gotten regular rainfall.

anyway it’s funny how you can say masculinity is a prison and people generally agree, but when you say femininity is a prison suddenly people think you’re personally attacking every single person who has ever enjoyed wearing lipstick

Hi, kids,

Remember it's okay to not want to do your hobby as a job. It's okay to not want to sell the things that you make. It's okay if you want to make art without taking commissions.

It's fine to completely lose enjoyment in something if you're doing it for money. It's fine to say, "I don't like doing this when I have to do it," and to just never do it.

You don't need to make your hobbies pay for themselves. You don't need to turn professional or semi-professional. You can love the freedom of starting something when you want, working on it when you want, and finishing it (or not finishing it) when you want. If you find that taking that away makes you not love the thing, that's just a lesson that you've learned. It's not a failing. It doesn't mean you're not dedicated to your art or your craft. It doesn't mean you're not doing it right.

Not everything needs to be a business. Not everything needs to have financial worth.

While we're at it, you don't need to be good at a hobby to want to do it. You don't need to have a goal of improving. If you get a guitar and you love playing it, but never get beyond cowboy chords and 4-chord songs, you're still valid. You don't have to be the best in the world to have it have worth. Your grandma's chicken enchilada recipe isn't going to rank in the top 100 enchiladas ever, but you still love them and enjoy them and they taste great. Maybe your doll faceup isn't going to look like a youtube tutorial's did, but if you liked making it, that doesn't matter.

But it's also totally fine to do things just for the response you get from other people. If you're only updating that fic because you have nine dedicated readers who want to know how it ends, that doesn't mean you're not dedicated to the story.

"This is just something I like doing," is enough. It doesn't need to be a job, or something you're good at, or a labor of love, or an otherworldly calling from a holy being. You can just make things. You can just do things. It's okay.

I need this for me and writing. Like. Yeah. Dreaming about maybe one day getting published is nice. But that adds pressure. And. I kind of just want to write for me. I just want to make stories for myself for fun. And maybe have a couple other people read them as well. That’s the mindset I want right now.

probably swinging at a wasp nest with this but

24/7 kink or having a kink lifestyle is 110% an abusers dream, especially with BDSM stuff. even if it doesn’t start out abusive it can definitely turn abusive real fast.

like, BDSM is already attractive to abusive personalities, so adding in an aspect of making it an all the time thing is like pouring gas on a fire.

Capitalism this, fascist that, no wonder your brain is mush, no wonder you think all art is political, you don't seek out delight, you seek out justification for your misery

It’s been out for years and people are still acting surprised to learn about the multi-flex gate/hitch problem the hard way.

You’re a dumbass if you buy a new vehicle without giving it a once over walk around. Opening that gate once in the dealership lot would immediately highlight the stupid design.

The problem with the flex gate is that when the mini gate is fully open as a step, it also only has like a half inch of clearance from the hitch receiver. If you have any kind of hitch in place the mini gate will hit the hitch, bare minimum causing some scratches, more likely creating some dents.

Either the designer group has never actually used a truck, or the functionality was deemed more important than a stupid flaw. It was pointed out pre-launch by everyone who played with the gate and company put warnings in the manual and in the form of stickers in the bed, and I guess dealers are supposed to mention it when someone is buying trucks with the option.

My favorite way of making work friends in the shop is the ‘we made eye contact’ method. Straight up just walking past each other and made eye contact, maybe said something about the weather or ‘have a good night’ and now I’m suddenly a Friend so let’s chit chat for a few minutes while walking in or waiting at the gate.

Newest Friend is interesting. Looks like a middle age, 5′3″ polish guy. Sounds like a cartoon gummy bear. Incredibly anxious. Like, visibly shaking while talking to me for the first time anxious. Likes Pokemon. Possibly autistic, not sure yet and I’m not going to ask.

Not a bad dude. Little odd, but it’s an assembly plant, you get a lot of odd folks in this place.
