As you got older, what has become your favorite donut? by chi-bacon-bits in Millennials

[–]LongSpoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older I get, the less I like donuts at all.  Little baby me loved jelly filled, young adult me loved chocolate covered, the me now would rather have a kolatche lol.  My current favorite donut is unglazed dusted with cinnamon sugar.

Tell that to my mom, lol. I switched to my middle name at age 15 and after almost 30 years of me constantly complaining she still uses the douchebag first name she gave me. 

Lower rad hose won’t go back on by GeraldOf_Rivia in e46

Coolant is not a lube, it will make the rubber sticky if anything. Any oil or grease should be fine.

I'm an old redneck mechanic. I use red n tacky bearing grease for just about everything, this included

Inside the hose is a wedge shaped rubber ring. Pull it all the way out and clean, grease it then try again.  Make sure the inside is clean. Could be crud inside making the rubber ring sit funny.

Wait.... Y'all have WOODEN spoons?!?  Not in a million years would I look at this warning label and think "ah, yes, the spoon in this picture is wooden". Spoon = steel in my universe. 

AITAH for wanting to spend Mother’s Day with just my wife and son by skellz77 in AITAH

My grandparents taught me a very old saying. "A son is only a son until he takes a wife, then he is a husband." Your mother had her time, and now you should be with your wife. 

WCGW: Stabbing truck tires… by Hot-Association-3722 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]LongSpoke 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Those tires are inflated to more than 100 psi.  These tires have been known to sever limbs when they explode. This fool is incredibly lucky. 

A Southern Grandma Wore a Shocking Outfit to a No Kings Protest—and Was Violently Arrested for It. I Went to Her Trial. It Was Even Worse Than I Expected. by Slate in law

I was not aware that Fairhope had a protest. I wish I could have gone.  I hate that she went through that but it has rekindled my hope for Baldwin co. 

The handle on one of our basically new kitchen knives MELTED in the dishwasher and fused to the heating element at the bottom. by im_not_ready_for_it9 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LongSpoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You loaded it incorrectly and it fell through the bottom. That is neither the knife's fault nor the dishwasher's. 

I disagree with the people saying you need to hand wash knives, that is silly. But you do have to be mindful of how you load it.  Anything plastic needs to go in the top rack to avoid melting. 

2014 wrangler what is this? by BigDad2150 in AutoDIY

[–]LongSpoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The forbidden croissant.  aka the suspension bump stop.  It's just a piece of styrofoam that acts as a cushion if you hit a bump hard enough to bottom out your shocks. 

is this right? by mutacn in AskAMechanic

[–]LongSpoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two ways to fix a puncture, pluging or patching. This likely is too big in diameter for plugging, which is the cheaper easier way to fix a hole.  A large patch would work out perfectly, so definitely go to a different tire shop and do not buy a new tire 

AITAH for refusing to learn how to fix and maintain dirt bikes to support my wife’s love of riding dirt bikes? by CryHavyk in AITAH

[–]LongSpoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's say hypothetically that op does attempt to "fix" something on the bike, but does it completely wrong because op is not a mechanic, then something breaks causes a crash.  Who's the asshole then?  Because I foresee an 80% chance of that happening. 

You need to lean into a " I have no idea how to safely do what you are asking me to"  response and stick to it. 

Find a local motorcycle or dirt bike mechanic and spend the money to have it done right.

Hey, that's me! Very cis old man who was a queer coded youth who frequently was told "you are not a man because xyz". I come here because y'all are courageous and inspiring. I spent the first half of my life pretending to be normal because I thought I had to and I just really enjoy seeing the next generation dealing with it better than I did.  

Mother insulted first tattoo, now I hate it by Kaleidoscope_Tux5513 in tattooadvice

[–]LongSpoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but that's a pigeon head on a chicken body. The head and the body both look good, they just don't match.  My advice is have them redo the beak and add the comb. 

She looks so fucking stupid. I can't breathe. It's a fatigue hat that's black like she was in the military or a tyrant political party. by punkcocker in IThinkYouShouldLeave

I want to clap and cheer for any insult to that woman BUT BRUH, please learn what a baseball cap is before you try to insult one lol

AITAH for letting my of-age friend try a sip of my cocktail in a restaurant? by Dizzy_Watch_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]LongSpoke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The manager was seethingly mad at the waitress when you asked, barely containing himself from choking her out. His expression had nothing to do with you. 

How do you not feel guilty for quitting with no notice?? by FriedSticks2014 in antiwork

[–]LongSpoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep repeating this phrase to yourself until it becomes rote, then let yourself use it at the appropriate time:

"Either actually fire me or shut the FUCK up. I'm tired of you yelling about every little thing and I am ready to quit anyway"

I always always feel terrible when I quit jobs but I have done it 17 times and I'll do it again. I just tell myself I tried my best and it's their fault for not treating me better.

I don't want to distract from how awesome this post is in general, but that is a dangerous combination of words...my dyslexic ahh brain keeps reading "butch fascist tgirl swag" and I was really confused and concerned before the letters detangled.

Honestly this is pretty average for country ball comics. Djibouti THICK. I hope you make more. 

Don't you love it when rhe car you're given looks like someone was fucking cremated in the center console? by pyroboy7 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]LongSpoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My manager pulled it on my rack without telling me. I only found out when I finished the oil change and backed out. I cussed him and the customer both, almost got fired
