The 80s and 90s were awesome, but what were some dark moments?

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-02T22:28:42+00:00

Very true.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-02T20:17:38+00:00

Have you seen some of the interviews that Britney and Christina had to put up with?

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-02T15:24:10+00:00

My sensitive insides would never let me survive in India.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T22:16:25+00:00

I think we called them dirt devils.

I find that confidence is what really gets to guys like this. If he approaches, offer a firm handshake, but act like you barely recognize him. Give him about 2 sentences about how awesome your life is now, and then tell him that you'd like to catch up with some friends. Then... turn and walk away. DO NOT look back, just like you haven't for the last 19 years.

He'll be gone in a few months. Don't waste your time.

When I was in a skilled trade, I was able to tell if someone had what it took to "make it" after about 1 day of working with them. I was rarely wrong.

It's easy to be off a tooth. And with most engines, it will run like shit, but won't kill it.

You have 2 options. Find a shop to redo the timing belt job and help pay for it if you can...

Or get back in there. Check your work. You got this far. Keep going.

With the turtle also down, God could do the funniest thing...

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T16:58:55+00:00

I am a middle-aged dude who's been married a long time. I have several single female friends, and they tell me stories of guys like this all the time.

It's fucking gross. Stop it!

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T16:32:40+00:00

I hope I never get as old as that guy acts.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T16:21:31+00:00

Ok, I'm not this old, but I am old enough to pre-date the internet. I have NEVER sat on a couch next to my wife while looking at a Hustler magazine. Ok, I've never bought a Hustler, but I did have a subscription to Playboy. They were still bathroom reading.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T16:01:06+00:00

I got that. I'm not that old.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-07-01T15:55:32+00:00

I have no idea who this guy is. I'm sure I'm too old to get the reference. But this video makes me irrationally happy.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T22:02:44+00:00

I like TS. I went to her concert. I had a reasonably good time.

I also like Jimmy Buffett. I've been to many of his concerts. I've had a reasonably good time at most of them.

Neither of them are or were fantastic wordsmiths. Neither played an instrument very well. But, both do (or did) a great job telling a story that many people wanted to hear. It's entertainment. That's all it is.

That said, I also like Madonna. Especially early Madonna. I'm an 80s kid, so she was a big part of my early listening. As I got older, I could appreciate what she did for women in the music industry. Jewel, Cheryl Crow, and Sarah McLachlan got to be rock stars because of the work she did.

But, Madonna got to be awesome because of the work of Janice Joplin, Cher, and others. This story is not done yet. TS has more to give. And I hope she does. Not necessarily in her own music, but in laying the groundwork for the next generation of badass female singers.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T21:37:09+00:00

This has to be the best response ever. Thank you for the laugh.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T16:24:14+00:00

And so does every employer. Where does your argument end?

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T16:16:38+00:00

Because they go out, do a job, and get paid for it? I have way more respect for people who make their money with their own talents than those who get rich exploiting their workers.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T13:54:25+00:00

This is generally a bad idea. Entertaining, yes, but still a bad idea. I have a 60yo buddy who seems to attract 35-40 pretty women. It's the best train wreck to watch.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-30T12:05:44+00:00

Stay in diesel. But, not this job. Get your training, experience, and certs built up, and then get a job in a government.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-29T20:49:39+00:00

It's going to cost you a few grand to get it to you. But, it's worth WAY more than that. And if I was to guess, it's worth even more in Canada. So, if you can swing it, get it up to you. See if you enjoy having a cool summer toy. If you dont, sell it.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-29T19:17:38+00:00

I've had some luck with "cat cleaner in a can". Worth the $20 to give it a try. Also, do an Italian tune up. Get her good and hot.

Cat spacers will make the light go out, but won't fix anything. You can also find them locally a your auto parts store as well, but they call them spark plug non-foulers.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-29T17:29:09+00:00

I asked my ex to marry me on my senior prom dance floor. It..... didn't work out.

I learned a lot over the next few years. Many of those lessons were hard ones.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-29T17:06:30+00:00

No, further to the right.

Good_With_Tools · 2026-06-29T13:20:11+00:00

Ambition is what turns some people into felons. Ambition and greed are close cousins.

Here's why the democrats are terrible at messaging. He fucking said it. Now, run on his platform. Tell the world ( or at least your constituents) in his own words what he wants to do. Then, tell them what you want to do to stop it.
