It's the AI chat thread, a place where the coolest dudes on this bad comedy website come together to rant about life, not work on their cars, and be genuinely kind and earnest to each other in dark times. Also there's dick jokes, boozechat, whatever the gently caress. Let's talk about my bike. Got the chain and sprocket replaced and holy drat it feels like a whole new machine. Maybe when it's not dark out I'll actually be able to ride more than a mile, but now that it's not slipping in top gear I can actually ride long distances. Will this be the year that I finally stop being so fat? Probably not, but who knows!

As the Certified Oh Pee of this here chat thread, quit telling other people what to post about. I highly approve of making GBS threads on Sears; them shuttering like 100 stores directly led to an influx of techs while I was working, which put the kibosh on the promotion I had previously been promised and led directly to me going back to school and getting out of that field altogether. Meanwhile, Eddie Galt Lampert bought himself a shiny new like $100M mansion down in Ft Lauderdale. I had been close to a minimal independent income, and it all got yanked away cause rich boy needed another house to not live in and yanked money from the company to do it. Question: Why when I get a puncture is it always like 1 inch from the sidewall? I never get "oh yeah that's an easy fix", it's always "gently caress, I dunno if they'll be willing to patch that, it's pretty close." That and apparently I left both my factory lug wrench and the cross-type one I bought a while back at my mom's place, so now I'm waiting on a buddy to get here with his so I can put the spare on.

By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

If full synthetic "makes" your engine leak, your seal(s) were already bad and it was a matter of time before whatever crud was blocking the leak got dislodged.

clam ache posted:Or those seals have gotten used to an oil which maybe low in certain additives. Which then gets said additives and leaks. But surely you would know all about automotive seals seeing as you own a protege which likes to leak when you look at it. If it doesn't rust to pieces first. Jokes on you, my engine is good because I replaced all the oil seals about 15k ago. On the junkyard engine. Because the original one died. Due to an oil leak. Central Florida at least means no rust, though. I do need to replace a coolant elbow going to the turbo, though, it's been weeping since July. I've replaced like a liter in 6 months, so I've been lazy about it even though I have the new part. E: currently sitting at the tire shop getting 2 new tires, because the puncture was too close to the sidewall and the other tire was 5/3/4. Which is weird since I never over inflate them and I don't run sikk camber. Fender Anarchist fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Jan 8, 2017 |

There's a reason "friend" is in quotes in the post you're replying to. Anyway, I was raised not to use violence/aggression to solve my problems, but lately it's been sinking in that overall I went way too far in the other direction. I literally don't know how to get mad. Well, I do, I guess more accurately I don't know how to actually channel it when appropriate, instead of just going SUPPRESS SUPPRESS SUPPRESS ad infinitum.

Once had a cop to threaten to arrest me because I accidentally spun my Taurus' tires coming away from a stoplight in pouring rear end rain. I got through it keeping my hands planted on the wheel, head down and just yes-sir-no-sirring until he calmed down a little. Cops in general need to calm the gently caress down about 900%.

Yeah I'm pretty sure millenials would be into cars just fine if they could actually afford them like one used to be able to. The days of working a summer job to buy your Camaro SS with cash are long gone, and I think that's the biggest factor, rather than any actual shift in values.

Rhyno posted:He's SUPERman. That poo poo makes sense. How the hell does good at fighting lead to flying the gently caress around? alright trap sprung the idea is that to get good at fighting, you gotta have good control over your ki (the "power" they call it in English). Charge your ki and launch it out of your fist? that's a kamehameha. If your control gets good enough, you can essentially shoot ki out of your feet, turning you into basically a spirit-powered rocket.

clam ache posted:True. I maybe should not be so hard on myself. I mean I'm 28 I take care of my family. I'm training the two new guys at work. But most days my bi-polar mind is stuck in the negative end. And it effects everything I do. gently caress it's hard to be positive and happy around my kids when many days I just wanna swallow some draino....and then two seconds later my brain wants to gently caress anything with a hole then kicks back to depression and all the other fun feelings. I'm your age. So far, I've: Dropped out of school Been arrested Been fired from steak and shake Spent three years washing dishes Spent two years getting a useless degree in wrenching Utterly failed in becoming a career mechanic Spent a little over 3 years unemployed getting another degree with a year to go, just for a career I can never be certain I'll succeed at either You could be doing a lot worse.

God I hate being fat. I went to the Highland games yesterday, spent a good four hours walking around a slightly hilly park with mild sun exposure (lots of trees and tents) and I feel like absolute dogshit. Hit the sack as soon as I got home, have spent most of the last 30 hours in bed, feeling exhausted, with a sore neck, headache and generally feeling bleh. (I drank 2 whole beers so it's not a hangover). This should not have loving drained me as much as it did.

I dunno, that's a pretty acute condition, and I still feel like death warmed over a good 2.5 days later, drinking plenty of water and staying cool. Plus I was never delirious or anything. I've had some... digestive issues... crop up, so maybe it was just a bug hitting me at exactly the wrong time? Idk, all I know is I've had killer headaches, progressing to stiff/sore neck and jaw this morning. I'm already planning on skipping my redeye class tomorrow (well technically today now, but w/e).

Man, for people who thought I was full-on autistic when I was younger, my parents sure do seem to be the ones having trouble with boundaries and tact. A normal person: "Hey Enourmo, someone gave me a total gym but I've already got one. You've talked about wanting to get in shape, you want it? No? Alright, cool, I'll ask someone else, see ya." My dad: "Hey Enourmo, someone gave me a total gym but I've already got one. You want it? No? Alright, I'll ask your sister, I guess. I really think you should consider it, though; I know you don't like being fat (have I mentioned you're fat lately?) and I think the thing you need is exercise equipment, that's the only thing holding you back, right? I'm really concerned about your weight, you shouldn't be so big, you're almost 30 and that's when the health problems start hitting. I realize you have a bike, since I gave it to you, but wouldn't it be convenient to have another thing to store somewhere while barely using it? what's depression i don't understand, just decide to be happy and motivated and you will be!" Like holy gently caress, I'm aware I'm fat, I look in the mirror every day, why do they feel the need to remind me and confront me about it as if it's some intervention and I'm not aware of it? Christ.

Coredump posted:What's this do? Withdraws us from the UN and forbids any contribution to UN military/peacekeeping missions, anywhere, for any reason. That's bad enough, but remember we have a permanent seat on the security council, with veto power. If we leave, we lose that seat, and the veto; even if we came back later and got voted back onto the council as a regular member, we wouldn't have veto, which means we'd effectively have a massive power deficit to the remaining permanent members. Two of whom are Russia and China.
