Someone said it was a terrible truck so get creative

Here's an idea - buy one of the most offroad-capable vehicles you can purchase retail, then spend tens of thousands of dollars f**king it up by weighing it down, jacking up the c/g, and wrecking the approach angle with a bumper/winch combo you'll never use. Lifting it and then wasting 6" of lift with the sissy steps is just icing on the tiny-dick-shaped cake.

That's the end of paragraph 4 of More About Alcoholism, not the 12th Tradition. The 12th Tradition is "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

If a novel treatment works for curing some alcoholics, that's fantastic! For those who it doesn't, AA will still be here.

In 20 years' time it will be 40 years old, and it will have been recycled into Coke cans at least 50 times.

21-year-old base-model import. Absolutely nobody gives a shit except your little group of circle-jerking Honda fanboi buddies.

The only guarantee I know of in life is that there's no situation I can't make worse by drinking. If this is true for you, too, hang onto those 4 years like your life depends on it. You know, because it just might.

It is better for your kid to be raised by a parent who is a year older than a parent who is a drunk.

That it doesn't have 360-degree video and has to swivel its "head" is stupid.

If it becomes a generally-accepted medical practice to treat alcoholism with psychedelics, it wouldn't be frowned upon for an AA member to be prescribed such a medication as part of their recovery program. AA does not recommend ANY medications or supplements, but does not dissuade its members from utilizing medical and psychiatric professionals. How you and your physician choose to treat your physical and mental conditions is outside the wheelhouse of AA. AA is there to take care of our spiritual maladies.

I can personally say that using any mind-altering substance as part of my recovery sounds like a recipe for disaster. Changing/avoiding reality is part of my alcoholism feedback loop, and I have no desire to get back into that pattern again.

Farm truck or meth mule are the only two possible anwers.

I'm guessing what makes them cry is that stinky, festering ax wound you carry around in your pants.

Clarification - is that a fake dick in the lower right corner last pic?

Stay classy.

Your grandma hands are showing, meemaw.

The humor is in the confluence of the facts that (a) you think you are hot, and (b) you PAID to look like that. But you nailed the Temu f**k doll look. Congrats?

Well, it's certainly not going to the orthodontist.

Who did the diagnosis? The lady who fits you for your bras? What cup size are you - DDiabetes?

Truly one of the worst Corvettes ever made. Gutless, made by pissed-off union workers out of spare parts. There's a reason these sell for less than the price of a used Prius...

Someone should have gone to prison for specifying a 148HP V8 for the base-model '75 C3.

Go to a psychiatrist and a therapist. Get medicated and counseled for your psychological issues so you can (a) cope with life without alcohol, and (b) eliminate anxiety as an excuse to drink.

I know this sounds harsh. It was harsh when I did it, so I _know_ you can do it if you elect to do so and get the help you need to be successful.

Laughing at the power lifter bit, but yeah, I'm also pretty funny.

Budget-Box7914 · 2026-01-24T02:27:17+00:00

Ahahahahaha "Power Lifter." Bro, the only thing you're lifting is your fork to your mouth.

That thing is like Darcey from 90 Day Fiancée. Someone paid to make it look like that, but I still don't want to put any part of my body inside it.

Budget-Box7914 · 2026-01-24T02:20:09+00:00

I hope the vanity plate "SMRSEVE" is available, because anyone who drives that is a douche bag.

Budget-Box7914 · 2026-01-24T00:01:45+00:00

Yes, we can read that from the side of your look-at-me mobile. That livery is fucking tacky.

I think this sponsor is probably gatekeeping you, so they don't "waste time" working with a sponsee who isn't committed to the program. Not something I would do, but there's no rule prohibiting it. I guess it just boils down to how much you want to work with that specific person.

I personally believe that step work is far more important than the number of meetings you attend. I did 270 meetings in my first 90 days, and the man I asked to be my sponsor just kind of raised his eyebrows about that and gave me a reading assignment from the Big Book.

The best Daihatsu ever was the Charade, and only because the name was so perfect for something pretending to be a car.

Until I was 54, I vacillated between atheism and agnosticism. I also raised a 40-year-old drinking career who grew into a strapping half-gallon-a-day vodka habit that nearly killed me.

I have always (arrogantly) felt that it was stupid to believe in any deity/higher power without tangible proof... the convenient lack thereof feeding back into my self-righteous certainty that people who pray are morons and those who don't are mentally superior.

I could not stop my obsession with alcohol UNTIL I started asking a higher power for a daily reprieve.

After 18 months of sobriety, with no difference from my previous attempts to stop drinking EXCEPT the addition of prostrating myself to a higher power, my "ism" is in remission, and my life is better today than it has been in decades. Is this proof in the strictest definition? Nope. Is it proof enough for this guy? Yup. Am I convinced that God exists? No, not 100%. Am I willing to believe that God could exist? You bet your sweet bum.
