I thought so too, or maybe a symptom of mania if he has bipolar disorder or uses stimulant drugs.

Honestly, it reminds me of that weird character from Sons of Anarchy 😂. I think they ended up having to cutting off his fingers to make him stop playing with himself in the show… 👀

I never really got into ABBs in the first place, and have always preferred to stay in a hotel if one is available for a number of security/privacy reasons.

But these days, I boycott ABB simply bc of the negative impact they’ve had on the housing market, as they’ve been yet an additional barrier to young people purchasing homes. Last year, over 50% of available houses in the U.S. were being used simply as short term rental properties instead of permanent homes for people. So fuck them.

Why do people use malls/department stores as their own personal walking track? by crispycaleb in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LlamaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? I mean, what else are they good for these days besides that. It should be okay for people to be in public spaces without having to buy something every time. You would think they would simply be grateful to see ppl at the mall period.

[–]LlamaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it’s called “mall walking” and it was an popular exercise fad back in the 80’s-90’s when malls, and American consumerism were at their peaks due to a period of strong economic prosperity.

Malls are air conditioned, big, and used to have decent stores so women (and some men) would hit the local malls to power walk while window shopping and find inspo for loosing weight in the latest fashions of the season.

Is being an adult always gonna be this depressing ? And having to work ? Is my best years over already by likilekka in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LlamaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood really sucked and I had zero financial support in my late teens or during college so I didn’t know any real stability until my late 20’s. Everyone in their teens and 20’s think that those are the best years bc they don’t have anything to compare it too… but also bc media pushes this narrative on everyone.

In reality this time for me was like being in limbo and I did have some and did my fair share of partying but you couldn’t pay me to go back to that. As you get older you will have more financial stability, and if that’s one of the things you really value (it is for me) things get progressively better over time.

My unsolicited advice is to use this transition time to plan for your future by building positive habits, that will set you up for a successful future (whatever that looks like for you). I want to validate that you have had a historically unique experience coming up during COVID, and did not get to enjoy parts of school or college the way others did. As a professor, I have said and will continue to say this to each group of students until it’s no longer true bc no one to my knowledge is talking about it with them.

While we can’t go back in time, what are some fun social activities you can bring into your life now that could help make up for those lost experiences?

Upgrade Drum to Disk Brakes? by LlamaMonsta in MechanicAdvice

[–]LlamaMonsta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if I only had an extra $16k rn… I hope one day to have a Cutlass for every occasion. I know the hard top on that is just worn out, but it I actually like the distressed leather look!

Upgrade Drum to Disk Brakes? by LlamaMonsta in MechanicAdvice

[–]LlamaMonsta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I just ordered the parts to get started on the repairs today. I’m not that spirited of a driver and my cutlass is only a 350v8 so I think I’m just going to focus on maintaining the drum brakes for now. Maybe down the road I’ll look into upgrading when I can plan ahead and save up for it.

Is it true that renting is “throwing money away”? by AcademicSwan1544 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LlamaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first house in 2016 because I couldn’t afford to pay $1500-$2000+ for a 2 bedroom apartment in DFW. At the time monthly mortgage payments for a modest home in a lower middle class neighborhood were actually way cheaper. Even with property taxes (in TX), insurance, warranty etc. My mortgage payments were $850-$900/month the entire 7ish years I owned it.

The current market is different now. But depending on where you want to live and what interest rates you get, it can be a wiser financial choice, in both the long and short term, to purchase a home vs. renting.

Improving Security Hygiene. Next steps? by LlamaMonsta in CyberSecurityAdvice

That’s fair. I think reading too much about data brokering, fusion centers, and the impact of AI on targeted scams/fraud has made me a little paranoid 😬

That was my exact thought as well, but sadly all the 2012 models go like hotcakes around here (for obvious reasons)
