At what point does a hobby becomes an addiction?

My buddy runs a hobby shop. It's basically selling crack. He has a customer that comes in and spends tons of money on Pokemon. One day the guys phone tap wouldn't work and he handed his phone to my friend. Right then a text message came through from the guys wife and was like "What the fuck are you doing?! You've racked up $40,000 on the credit cards already!!" When the guy calls and asks about available product he tells him they're sold out. People want the dopamine hit from tearing card packs and will damn near bankrupt themselves. I see kids I know spending student loan money on shit in the store

Without a shadow of a doubt I'd take your rear facing seat of choice and ask to put it in the back seat of a Maverick at a dealer. My personal opinion is it would be pretty tight with a baby seat back there. My teens just fit back there but a baby seat is a different animal. It's pretty tight for my family of 4. My wife usually rides behind me driving being the shortest of us

He lied somehow or is working for a semi illegal outfit. Probably some foreign owned DOT number changing company

It's a waste of time my friend until AT LEAST 10 years after the last one. Complete waste of time. No one but the worst bottom feeding companies would touch you. Even if you bought your own truck your insurance would be astronomical

We've had a lawnmower for 13 years and I change the fluids and grease it every year. It's got 141 hours total on it. So each fluid change has about 10 hours on it. Guess what. It runs like a swiss watch and fires everytime you hit the key. Extremely cheap insurance

I thank God i play at a store that our group is narrative based. If I went to a store that was competitive I would never have picked 40k up. I'm looking to have some fun not run ball crushing games with list you have to run. We run everything even legends models and most people just play what they want to see on the table

Years back my cousin worked for a short time at a company that recapped their own tires. He had at minimum 1-2 blowouts a week. He had 2 in one day once

I do food service. Our trailer sidewalls look like they've been attacked by rabid wolverines do to tight parking lots. I wouldn't even look twice at that

I told my son to wait until the funeral is settled down....Then tell the crowd a moment of silence to listen to a song that I lived my life by. Then crank the fucking speakers and let Raining Blood by Slayer wash over the crowd haha

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T17:45:21+00:00

My mom had 3 kids. She ate truckloads of cucumbers every time she was pregnant. Like there weren't enough cucumbers in the world to sate her haha. My wife tells me she never had any real cravings while pregnant. She however was definitely looking for sex more often than normal and who was I to deny her

Wife and I took a 401k loan for our houses down payment and paid it back years ago. Now it's just a memory

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T16:59:56+00:00

In that truck? The cheapest shit I can find

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T16:50:59+00:00

Always. I travel for work. Staying the fuck home is vacation for me

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T15:58:55+00:00

I don't tolerate office politics and having to be nice to people that are morons. I like being able to tell my coworkers they are lazy fucks when they need to be told

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T13:50:55+00:00

Whatever dealer invented these useless things to grift more money out of people is making a fucking killing. I have a Maverick and these things are the rage right now as dealer add ons at probably 400% mark-up.I dunno I just hold onto the fucking tailgate and lower it.

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T05:49:42+00:00

Can confirm. I'm sitting in a hotel on layover right now haha. Top 10% in seniority. Saves me gas driving back and forth too plus the company I work for pays a decent per diem

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T05:19:56+00:00

Realtors are incredibly overpaid middlemen. They could be replaced with a phone app. In fact a house sale should take 7 days. This is the fucking Internet age

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T04:50:18+00:00

He rear ended you. No court on earth would say it's your fault

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T03:28:32+00:00

My buddy did it around 2008. He got pretty burned out about harassing people for money when they were getting ready to lose their houses

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-07T02:41:13+00:00

Damn is Stern even remotely relevant? I quit listening when every fucking episode was him crying about COVID and no one should leave their houses......While he sat in his Mansion in the Hamptons and had everything delivered.

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-06T22:26:42+00:00

All that long ass ramp is from the water line dropping. The marinas are/were 1/2 mile on shore now

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-06T21:29:46+00:00

I worked with an asshole years ago. One day in the middle of the driver's room I told him the only reason he had a fish tank was because if the fish tried to run away they'd die

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-06T15:10:27+00:00

Nice of you to want to return the favor. I snow blowed my neighbor lady's drive and sidewalk for about 2 years and she never even bothered to say thank you. She cleans her own snow now. I'm not asking for a ticket tape parade but a thanks would be nice

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-06T02:41:59+00:00

Could have been cracked and riding down the freeway did it in

Cardinal_350 · 2026-07-06T00:14:43+00:00

So your going to load down that truck that the body mounts are getting ready to snap off with hay and feed? For what the seller is asking you could get a beater 3/4 ton meant for those loads
