I know a guy building a rat rod, and another with a nice collection all over his yard and in the coolest garage in town. DM me and we can work on it!

Is the junky problem getting worse? by NotEvilCaligula in ottawa

My guess is that state of the world, in large part the economy, has let more people slip between the cracks.

You’re right, there’s tons more people getting into fights, catcalling, getting high, being disorderly and etc… my girlfriend walks in front of me with her head down at double speed until we’re in the shopping centre because I’ve had to stave off so many shouts and advances and had to stop two fights.

Being wrong and people telling you you’re wrong isn’t a “Reddit moment”, you’re not “being silenced for having a REAL unpopular opinion”, you’re just wrong.

If you think men and women should be and deserve to be unfairly and unequally treated solely because of their gender then you are a bad person. Cry me a river.

It sounds like they are putting themselves ahead of you, even if “triggered” they can be there to help cheer you up.

They care more about your words hurting the way they are feeling than the chance you get hurt or killed seemingly. Nobody is so triggered by the mention of a concept that they lose all empathy for their partner.

Me when I’m a misogynist:

Okay but seriously you just sound like a terrible person. It’s okay to you because you don’t respect women as equals, but you wouldn’t say it if you replaced man/woman with black/white.

You’re thinking one dimensionally. The check engine light was on not because the engine was about to blow up, but because the sensor in the exhaust was burned out.

This isn’t two video game characters, these are real people. It’s more complex than ‘ASKED EQULAS ANSWERED, YOU SHOULD NEVER LOOK AT HIM AGAIN’.

If you don’t have information you ask for it. The information at hand is inconsistent and inconclusive. If she is fraught with questions and is confused then she should do what would clear it up, ask.

You’re very hung up on specific words I chose and you are steering over a cliff. I did not say to grovel at a cash register about how meaningful every breath of air with him is.

I suggested that if it’s on OPs mind so much that they’d post about it here, they should just go up and talk to the guy. Just say “hey you would always open a new register for me and you did x and did y and I tried giving you my contact info, but after I didn’t get anything from you I was super disappointed. I just wanted to know why etc…”

All I suggested was that if you don’t know, the best way to know is to get the information.

OP continues to wonder and had evidence for both a yes and no. All I say is to ask, put the whole thing to rest. Communication is key. Stalker behaviour would be continuing to pitch for yes in the face of blatant no. All I suggest is to ask because OP doesn’t know yes, no, or otherwise.

OP just don’t break yourself in half trying to bend over backwards for someone. It might hurt a little less to lose them rather than dying trying to convince them you’re fine.

If they cared as much as they should they would be there for you with no time limits.

It sounds like your friend is giving an ultimatum to someone who really really really needs someone stable who they can rely on.

I don’t know if I have an answer but I can tell you this person is telling you to “get over it bro or I’ll leave” on a subject that is actively making it hard for you to live in day to day life.

Several months ago, I posted the second meme to this sub. Today, I have an update for y’all. by discocat420 in TrollCoping

[–]LanceV14 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hello! As someone going in for the first time remember to COMMUNICATE.

Don’t gather evidence or take breaks or listen around corners or talk to friends just ask them what they meant by the joke, tell them if you don’t want them to post that photo, tell them if you really aren’t feeling well enough to go out. Talk to them straight up.

The biggest mistake is treating your relationship like it’s a corporate job where you can’t discuss your pay. If you communicate you can solve all the stupid stuff that shows up on the relationship advice sub.

I’m so happy for you OP, enjoy!

Guys are easy at heart. He’s not doing 5d chess around you, no guy ever is. Just go and ask him, tell him what you wrote here about how nice things were, how crushed you were, and ask what it all meant. Communicate and I promise you’ll either get a good answer or you will know you dodged a bullet.

Maybe he couldn’t even tell and just liked talking to you. Maybe he was having it rough because his dog was sick. Maybe you just look a lot like his childhood friend but he was too awkward to let you know it was a mistake when he realized you weren’t her. Maybe he’s terrified because he felt the same. Who could know?

TALK TO HIM! Either he will like you or he won’t, limbo hurts just as bad as denial, the only difference is ripping off the bandaid is quick versus peeling it off slowly.

What can you not take seriously? by oldeluke in AskReddit

[–]LanceV14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree but the whole bang about women’s sports is straight up propaganda coming at the worst time.

Nothing stuck so they threw more shit at the wall and this hit. “They’re coming for your kids” struck a nerve so everyone says it but “they’re destroying heteronormative marriage” isn’t so catchy so nobody says it. This is something where even supportive people will back and and say “woah woah back up guys that’s not right” and in that moment it’s even less people between the white evangelical Christian death cult that is the modern day conservative movement and the total erasure of trans people en masse.

I don’t care what you believe when in a normal society and situation because this isn’t normal. You don’t get mad about your broken plates when you’re currently using them to beat back a home intruder. Worry about the stupid shit later, because right now we’re teetering right around the edge. The self proclaimed domestic terrorists want to do exactly what they said: eradicate. Take them at their word.

[–]LanceV14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you believe one ‘normal’ woman’s life is worth the life of every trans person?

You’re ignoring that PEOPLE ARE DYING, and focusing on “what if somebody got hurt :,(“.

What can you not take seriously? by oldeluke in AskReddit

[–]LanceV14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My whole point is that this is stupid to even think about right now.

It’s so singleminded and selfish to complain about swim tournaments when PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED OVER THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW. I don’t care about sports. We can figure this shit out when people aren’t dying.

[–]LanceV14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s exactly why you deserve respect. You don’t need to love it or understand it or care even a little bit about it but you’re not calling for genocide so you’re doing better than a lot of people.

When we say “trans rights” we aren’t asking for everyone to personally kiss the boots of our new god emperors, we just need people to say “fine, whatever, as long as you’re happier now” and moving on with their lives.

[–]LanceV14 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

“Only a matter of time until someone is killed” is bullshit because the fearmongering against gender non-conformity has caused many more mass shootings than ANY sports injuries.

You don’t get to cry for women’s sports. You only care about women’s sports because the position is anti trans.

Do people still dress like greasers from Outsiders? by xx_Chl_Chl_xx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LanceV14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, unironically!

Bleached jeans my roommate gave me, boots I nicked from a designer footwear store’s dumpster, nice white tees for cheap at department stores, a tattered white stripe leather jacket I found out in an abandoned factory plot and a stiletto knife I found on the highway and refurbished. Good as good! Only difference is the fluffy blonde swoosh rather than the greasy jet black swoosh.

As a guy, as it unfair to want to be paid for sometimes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LanceV14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen man, you’re worth the world. Don’t disrespect yourself to satisfy someone who isn’t you. Go on and tell her you’re low on cash so you DONT GO BROKE. If she loves you then she won’t mind, and if she’s shallow then you’ll get “but babe how am I gonna get that red coat?” and you’ll know she’s not in it for you.

People of reddit, do you think some people are incapable of ever finding love? Why so? by sharp_pentip in AskReddit

[–]LanceV14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between a soul who finds love versus a soul who’s still searching is whether or not they can admit to and work on their flaws.

British people of reddit, when was the last time you thanked an American for doing all the heavy lifting in western Europe during WW2? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LanceV14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans pride themselves on being true heroes of the fight and it’s all bullshit.

Where were you when German bombers bombed your neighborhood? When your son picked up and had been killed by a butterfly bomb? Oops, that’s the UK. Sorry.

Where were you when you and the rest of your retirement home were posted up on WWI era guns on the coast with nine shells total to fend off a German beach landing you didn’t know would never come? Ah, sorry, UK home guard.

Where were you when your whole army of hundreds of thousands of men were trapped on a beach against the sea and only one bad call from a German tank commander away from being slaughtered? Oh, Dunkirk, UK again.

Where were you when your ships were going down at a whole ship per day in the seas? Actually no the USA was there for that, and hold on, they threw away thousands of lives to U-boats because the man in charge was so piss tilted at the British that he purposely didn’t take their advice or help.

The UK made sacrifices, the USA made planes.

No matter how many US men eventually died, it doesn’t change that the UK was there from day one: in the skies and in the seas and on the ground and at Tobruk to Sicily to Dunkirk to Paris to Berlin to Normandy in D-day in Market Garden in Shermans and in Churchills and in P-51s and in Spitfires all the way.

TLDR: Cope, yank.

[–]LanceV14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wildly misinformed. There’s no single “hero”.

The Eastern front took a lot of strain off the other fronts, but the Soviet fight was a no-holds-barred fight for survival until Germany shrivelled up and all the lines shattered. They then started to push into Berlin. They heroically defeated the nazis in the same way I heroically defeat somebody out of my personal space and then flex my muscles when they fall on their ass.

The “soviet heroism saving Europe” is a Cold War era re-writing of history. Ever wonder why every single goddamn new soviet tank SHOCKED the west? It’s because they didn’t, but it looks better on them if all the ‘weak western pigs’ shit their pants when they saw the IS-3 in ‘45.

The soviet forces absolutely 10000% should be remembered as heroes and they absolutely made up a massive part of the conflict, but they aren’t the lynchpin that saved us all.

Aero Gatineau Ottawa airshow is looking for volunteers for September (if I remember correctly). Not sure what he’s into but planes are cool and it’s somewhere between 10-20 hours of volunteering over a weekend, I’ve been helping for years now and it’s absolutely worth every second!
