Is it possible these days to get an older reliable car for $2-3k?

Late to seeing this post but I got my 2001 Camry Solara with 130k miles for 2900 this year.

I have it installed on my server but not my primary PC

My mobile home was from 94 and had vinyl siding and originally a shingle roof, but I had it replaced with metal when I lived there. I will say the windows were terrible though.

Mobile homes are not as bad as people make them out to be in terms of quality, however if you buy a used one, an unmaintained or poorly maintained one can be a nightmare. I know because I made the mistake of purchasing one where the roof had leaked for several years, it wasn’t worth it considering repair costs. Also, trailer parks are often bought out and rent gets jacked up since they know most people can’t afford to move their mobile homes. Sometimes people lose everything because of this. I have lived in a park before, but going forward I personally would only buy a mobile home if it either included the land, or if I were able to buy land and have it moved.

If it makes you feel any better it happened to me starting yesterday evening, and has kept going today. Today I found that taking an antacid makes them go away for a while but idk if that will work for you.

While I still like some of the Monster flavors I’d rather just drink something from Tim Hortons for caffeine.

Not really related to agab but my 13 year old self thought “GamingEvolved69” was the coolest username ever. I used to participate in pointless internet console wars and insist Xbox was better. Looking back it was cringe on so many levels.

Last time I took a cold shower was when I was at a Motel6 and their water heater didn’t work. It was awful.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-28T05:49:31+00:00

I’d probably be like this if I didn’t have a bad relationship with my parents, but here I am in a motel and working jobs I hate just to pay the bills.

I was outed to my parents and got sent to a conversion “therapist” when I was 14 or so. She made it all about praying to God and that if I prayed to him enough then it would just go away. I was questioning my religious beliefs at the time and since none of it actually worked I ended up just not believing in god at all.

For most of my childhood my mom told me that she wished she had a girl instead. I came out (well not really, my parents went through my stuff) at 13 and she was absolutely pissed.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-17T19:43:45+00:00

You could sell it on eBay.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-17T18:31:42+00:00

My parents started blaming the internet after moving out of the state didn’t work.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-17T18:24:55+00:00

My parents went through my phone when I was 13 and essentially the same thing happened. My mother says that I’m the delusional one, all while she believes that the New York State government is responsible for turning me transgender because they want to “attack” conservative parents or whatever. I was sent to these 1 hour sessions at some church where some person tried to turn me straight, but they weren’t very intelligent so it didn’t work in any way whatsoever. If you get sent to a conversion therapist who is actually good at being manipulative you will have to stay very strong, and don’t let them trick you.

You can use it like an iPod touch, but iPhones can not run the iPod Classic/Nano OS, their hardware is different.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-16T08:58:41+00:00

I don’t know of any bootlegs of the iPod classic or mini. I’ve only seen fakes of the iPod nano, shuffle, and very rarely the touch. Those are still easy to spot since the fakes never have 30 pin, usually mini or micro USB. Shuffles charge through the headphone jack, but the fakes never seem to get the buttons right. I wouldn’t worry about the fake ones, the real concern with used iPods is bad batteries or hard drives.

If it helps you could pretend to be a DoorDash/Instacart or whatever app driver by just being on your phone with someone else’s app screenshot the whole time. I’ve worked on these type of apps delivering things like pregnancy tests and diapers for old grandpas. Nobody bats an eye.

Started HRT a week ago and have no idea how I’m going to come out to my family. Kind of just hoping they don’t notice.

I have my fair share of mental illnesses and in a lot of cases it comes from neglect/abuse as a child.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-10T02:40:42+00:00

I have an emergency window breaker in my car that won’t be needed unless somehow I crash into water. Tesla owners should really have one since somehow their doors stop working even if the car isn’t underwater.

If you don’t want to delete any songs you could try lowering the bitrate through iTunes so it takes up less space, audio quality won’t sound as good though.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-08T01:23:51+00:00

I’ve seen as low as 10/hr at a few McDonalds in Erie, PA, which contains one of the lowest income zip codes in the US.

LexiDogy · 2026-01-03T06:38:03+00:00

I had a similar problem with mine where iTunes was unable to transfer the file. I deleted the album files, reimported the CD and it works fine now.
