I just like camouflage pattern soap, I didn't buy it because it's "for men" what do you mean what's wrong with me?? It was only 15 dollars for 5 bars.

I like red but if I could get a brown car cheaper, I'd choose the brown car because, get this: you don't actually look at your own car when driving.

e: Also let's not forget the fact that this was in response to a person claiming that people who don't care about the specific colour of their automobile are literally crazy.

on the topic of overthinking car colors, I feel unsettled about the current fashion of drab and matte colors on cars, or even more on trucks. They evoke this weirdly fascistic aesthetic of masculinity you find in things like toiletries where the men’s stuff is just Spartan and grey to avoid the risk a color might threaten my delicate hold on my heterosexuality.

Don't ever read Hillary Clinton's book: "What Happened"


Here's an example of her comparing herself to the parable of the prodigal son:

quote:

Maybe it’s because I’m the oldest in our family and something of a Girl Scout, but I’ve always identified with the older brother in the parable. How grating it must have been to see his wayward sibling welcomed back as if nothing had happened. It must have felt as if all his years of hard work and dutiful care meant nothing at all.

I bought a car in 2015 and it was my first time buying from a dealership. I went to one and test drove a car, and then got a printout with a quote on it. I told the sales guy "This is great, thank you, but I do need to shop around a bit more and compare a few prices". The dude reached out and snatched the printout from my hands, ripped it up, and told me "the deals off then, we can't give you that price". I was stunned honestly like actually stunned. I told him "fine, that's not going to stop me from shopping around" and left.

As I'm driving away from the dealership I get a phonecall, obviously from the dealership. I bounced it and checked the voice mail later and its like "hey man, this is the manager wow I heard you weren't happy about the price we offered you please give me a call back right away so we can talk" and gently caress that what the hell? It was like being in a sitcom about buying a car or something. I've never had an adult snatch an item out of my hands like that before it was like in Always Sunny when Mac grabs the contract from the lawyer and eats it.

The last time I bought a car I was at the desk of a dealer when I got a call from another guy I had spoken to, who offered me a price. I told the guy who’s desk I was at what the offer was and he stood up and started yelling at me lmao

I check reviews and do everything I can to get the best price for everything I buy. I don’t know why we’re expected not to do the same for cars.
