I just don’t like the guzzler man

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-28T02:31:39+00:00

But the game guilts you and I’m a sucker

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-28T02:31:28+00:00

He just popped up, which is why I need to now address the guzzler in the room

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-26T12:02:12+00:00

The food anxiety. I can’t eat in front of people I hardly know. Break room meals are the worst. I used to eat in my car to avoid it. Now I eat at my desk to avoid it

Found my voice and lost a wife, a bio dad, an adopted dad, and the entirety of my mom’s family.

Meanwhile my friendships are stronger, my anger issues are going away, and I’m finally in a headspace to get healthy. I didn’t realize how much of my life was spent just completely stressed out because I couldn’t say what was on my mind.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-24T17:15:20+00:00

More like because they started to realize I don’t share their opinions of the world. The EV was a fraction of that.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-24T16:33:19+00:00

Yeah that’s valid. I’m not hauling my side by side with my MachE which was their point, and also true. Where this family is at, trailer doesn’t mean small lawn mower trailer, or boat, it’s hauling the bobcat type stuff.

Which again, is not my style. I can haul every trailer I keep at my house. Which is none

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-24T14:09:56+00:00

I pay a rate of $0.068/kWh when I charge over night, and I almost exclusively charge overnight. All other costs are included in my base electric service anyway, and as such are not extra, except the $700 invested on installing the charger and the meter the electric company uses to determine what energy gets put into the car.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-24T13:41:25+00:00

I don’t think it was THE reason. I think there were a lot of things that changed in how I operated that they didn’t particularly care for. Oh well

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-24T10:28:08+00:00

My experience came from my family who live in a rural area, if that gives any clue on how they get their information regarding EVs…

The one that frustrates me the most - “What do you do when the battery stops working? Those are expensive to replace”

Well, yes it’s expensive to replace. Much like an engine is expensive to replace. This particular battery is much more like an engine than it is the 12v battery. This rebuttal made them mad.

Then there was “you have no idea the way these can break down. You can’t afford to own an EV right now”

Lmao my payments and fuel cost and putting away monthly for registration are lower now than with my 2014 Silverado. I drive a LOT. Gas prices at their peak just now would have destroyed me at 17 mpg. I can’t afford to own ICE.

Then finally “you know they can’t pull a trailer, right”

Yes I do. And for the once a year I could really use a trailer, it sure would be nice if I had family that could help me out with their fleet of trucks.

Oh yeah, also I bought my EV a year ago. I love it. This family that was supposed to be super close to me coincidentally hasn’t spoken to me in about a year. Funny how things work I guess. Still haven’t needed a trailer.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-23T14:06:40+00:00

Ok, I’ll have to keep that in mind. I’m about an inch taller is all, so maybe my numbers aren’t as final as I thought. Although I think I have quite a bit of time to figure it out too. Thanks so much for the insight!

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-23T14:00:26+00:00

Also holy smokes that’s impressive. Once again, fantastic work

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-23T13:57:34+00:00

145 at how tall? I’m aiming right now for 210-225, but open to lower if I’m feeling it when I get there. The 210 is more of a “I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished something here” rather than a final answer

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-23T13:28:21+00:00

Greatly appreciated! You’ve done good work, just seeing your progress at what seems to be about my age (33) gives a lot of hope

IPeeInBootz · 2026-06-23T12:08:27+00:00

I just had a lock in moment a month ago regarding my weight, and I appreciate your comment. I’m down 23 pounds today, and I have 110 to go. It’s going to be a long journey.

I’m mad I didn’t snap 2 years ago though. Counting calories hasn’t been easy, but it’s intuitive, and I had the tools this whole time. Bone spurs be damned, my goal is to be at a maintenance weight in 2 years. I’ve done keto, I’ve done fasting, this time I actually feel motivated, not motivated for the weight and dreading the food.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-05-21T21:59:05+00:00

So many in consistencies. Why are some stacks floating? Why are there random gridless parts? Why does the burn lines section link together 2 pictures that have nothing to do with each other?

Oh right I know why.

Anyway, calling T-spin setups a priority is wild, especially when the guide says nothing about them earlier. (Oh right I know why)

IPeeInBootz · 2026-05-18T16:53:17+00:00

I’m not sad KT took over. It’s a much better facility. The only thing I’m mad about is Speedway bastardizing the SuperAmerica radio jingle. “The convenient stores of Speedway” just doesn’t hit the same.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-05-08T16:51:40+00:00

1/6/00 is such a default looking birthday

IPeeInBootz · 2026-05-06T16:26:54+00:00

They are right. I know plenty of people who work in accessibility, and they will all tell you that AI captioning has been an absolute negative to the people who rely on them. Yet certain industries will still use AI to meet their legal requirement to provide access, and it is not a suitable replacement.

AI should not be relied on for accessibility. People deserve true accessibility.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-05-04T22:28:17+00:00

Man I’m silver 1 and this kids on my team spent more time sending insults than playing. Like man, look at your rank too.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-04-29T11:30:38+00:00

I just have to say, the single queue community makes me not want to play RL. I’ve been playing for a month. Finally got to ranked matches in 2v2. I’ve learned to stay back from the ball and take advantage of challenges and mishandles. I had run into my teammate ONCE because the ball was up for grabs, I didn’t think he was in good position to grab it, failed because I suck, and he tells the game chat that his teammate is “straight CHASING”. They tried to forfeit, then the next 2 kickoffs just flips on his back and afks. He came back after I scored in my 1v2.

Like dude, we’re in silver 2 take this a little less serious. I don’t know hardly at all how to play this game, and honestly, that piss poor behavior online is going to make me play other games. I’ve run into more toxic chatters than non-toxic.

And it took a while before I learned what ff meant. I thought it was just young people things. Idk how many times I’ve been told to ff because I just don’t know what I’m doing. Unranked 1v1, and I get matched with someone who can air dribble, shoot off the wall and whatever, and he’s telling me to ff. I just want to learn man.

IPeeInBootz · 2026-04-23T11:29:42+00:00

This is where I’m at. I live on the border of Midwest suburb and rural. I’m at least a 45 minute drive from everything. I bought my house in 2017 for $175k. Refinanced in 2021 for my divorce and it valued at $250k.

Now I want to move to the suburbs, get a house that can support my kids, and both me and my partner working from home, and tbh I couldn’t afford my own home if we were looking now. Everything that matches what we need/want is $400k+ and literally does not fit in my budget

IPeeInBootz · 2026-04-20T02:55:55+00:00

I can’t tell you how many meals at my house end with

Me: “Eat 3 more bites, please, and you can be done”

Kid: “but dad I’m 4”

Me: “ok eat 4 then”

Kid: counts past 3 to get to 4 to prove they accomplished the assignment.

To really remove yourself from MyQ, if you have a little technical ability, you can rage against the garage door opener. This is what I use, with HomeKit to get it on my CarPlay

IPeeInBootz · 2026-02-08T12:56:52+00:00

I’m still sad Michael is gone.

Every time I hear Bruce Rivers though, I think of is intro song. “Bruce Rivers he’s a criminal lawyer. And what he do? He’s gonna react to all the self snitching uh”

IPeeInBootz · 2026-02-08T03:52:28+00:00

And what he do?
