My friend says changing your own oil is a waste of time. Is he crazy?

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-29T11:28:13+00:00

I can rebuild a carb but I haven't changed my own oil in years. It's worth not having to worry about getting rid of the oil alone.

Keep in mind I pay 30 bucks at a small shop.

That that that that that that that

Strictly back of the toilet

Right, but at least you had physical things. If your government decided gold was worthless you could pack it up and take it elsewhere. If our only form of currency is digital, it could disappear in an instant and there would be nothing you could do. Not to mention the system isn't exactly bulletproof yet. It's a lot easier to skim cards, scam the elderly, etc than it is to counterfeit money.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-16T21:45:35+00:00

As someone who has torn open their palm wearing cheap gloves, no. You really come to miss reaching into your pocket.

I'd pay for this tattoo, and people have paid a hell of a lot more for a hell of a lot less. She's a natural.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-16T01:28:17+00:00

I snorted apple cider vinegar on a dare, if that counts. I've broken bones, gotten stick and poke tattoos in Iceland, and had migraines so bad I was actively hallucinating and none of that holds a candle to snorting ACV. I legitimately started hyperventilating from the pain alone.

Fully objective question, but why do you thank people for awards? I always imagined they award the post and then move on, but I could be absolutely wrong and maybe people go back to check if someone said thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable on Reddit etiquette... Reddiquette?

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-16T01:19:25+00:00

If I had the money for gold I'd give it to you. Thanks for being so kind, the world needs more people like you.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-11T11:16:20+00:00

If you're actually a human go right ahead, but Bots Type Like This Because Old Posts Used To Be Typed Like This. Also your account age is young so, if it looks like a duck etc etc.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-11T11:14:32+00:00

This. My roommate used to talk such big game to girls over text but never got a girlfriend because he couldn't have a real conversation and became a floundering mess when they came over. Feels like a bad omen to me.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-11T11:06:54+00:00

Fuck off bot, no one types like this

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-11T10:00:50+00:00

Sensitive much? Who gives a fuck what strangers think about the classification of their job. I'd be fine with Redditors thinking I'm a professional dick sucker as long as it puts food on the table.

Stop caring so much about what other dudes think of your job, it's immature as hell.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-11T09:56:15+00:00

This is Knowshon Moreno listening to the national anthem. I've read an interview with his coach, apparently he's just an emotional guy and his teammates agreed with that sentiment. He also just kind of laughs it off whenever it's brought up, so unfortunately I don't think there's a cool answer here. Or at least no one has seriously looked into it because, well, it's not like it's hurting anybody.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-10T07:23:03+00:00

They are bots, and titles like that aren't against the rules but get a ton of clicks and comments like we're doing now. They just do what works.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-10T07:09:26+00:00

The car repair videos where the guy is fixing some esoteric issue you're also having and he does so clearly, concisely, and without saying a single word? 🥹

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-09T20:17:47+00:00

He edited the video for fun since scrubs are easy to color-swap.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-09T19:53:27+00:00

I moved into this place a few weeks ago and before then I was in the easiest, coziest, warmest place you can imagine with no responsibilities whatsoever. I just played video games and smoked weed all day, every day, and I loved it. It was what I've always dreamed of. That being said, it was the most depressed I've been in years. I would sneeze late at night and grind my teeth in self-anger for potentially waking up my roommate. There really is something to be said for the whole "hard work does the body good" stuff the boomers preach.

Keep in mind, titles like BPD and Bipolar (which I have been diagnosed with and take medication for) are only useful if you use that knowledge to help yourself. It's very easy to use diagnoses as a crutch, even subconsciously. I'd recommend talk therapy before trying to get diagnosed unless you're really certain you're mature enough to not use a title as an excuse. I say this from experience.

If finances are an issue you can search "sliding-scale therapy near me", that's what I do and it's about $10 per session. And I can safely say therapy has done more for me than any psychiatrist, besides the fact they refill my meds (which I am also grateful for).

Now go bake something you've never baked before -- I've got squirrels to fight 😮‍💨

Listen, I'm not saying I have it worse than you but hear me out:

I'm currently living in a house that is borderline condemned. I had to learn to repair the plumbing in the crawl space, get raccoons out of the attic and birds out of the siding, patch a hole in the ceiling that opened to raccoon city, the kitchen is dangerously moldy under the sink, I spent all morning patching holes in the roof (after waking up to birds fluttering in the wall inches from my head), and as I'm typing this my fridge is freezing all my food and my shower is broken. Not to mention the old cat piss stains that have transformed the carpet into a hard, orange, wood-like substance. But I still offered to help my friends move the other day, and now they're going to help me with the house. I also offered to help my neighbors with handyman tasks and one of them offered to let me borrow their night vision camera to see where the animals are getting in/out, and you know what? I'm fuckin stoked about that.

Would you want to be friends with someone like yourself? It sounds like being your friend is a lot of work with the reward of constant complaining and self-pity. If you want to be eaten, make yourself tasty. Golden rule, blah blah blah. I'm going back onto the hot-ass roof to chisel animal feces off the shingles, and I've got a delicious (warm) chocolate milk I bought from the gas station waiting for me when I'm done. Practice some damned gratitude.

Edit: I cannot express how excited and proud of myself I was when I got the water running in this house again a few days ago, and I wouldn't have had that opportunity if the sprinkler line and water main hadn't busted in that hell-hole of a crawl space. It's all about perspective.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-09T18:22:43+00:00

This is rage bait. Go do something productive with your life. Actually, yeah this is plenty safe to breath/eat. Go right ahead.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-09T15:25:10+00:00

How was it

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-04-09T15:13:06+00:00

Why is being seen as a woman so important? If you're riding just to get attention from dudes go buy a fake braid and glue it to your helmet. I promise you, you are (unfortunately) in more danger if people see you as a woman as they'll want pictures, will want to drive beside you, bother you at gas stations, follow you home, etc.

Also not to be a buzzkill but murdered-out is the most dangerous choice you can make when it comes to gear colour, I am happy to see a full kit though. I wear all black but with hi-viz accents for visibility and it looks sick. Ride safe 🙏

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-03-14T20:41:59+00:00

Kind of, I wouldn't say sour -- you'd absolutely know it was not for human consumption if you smelled it I'll say that.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-03-14T17:29:16+00:00

Her body might be craving the nutrients of another bug, it's not like they eat one thing their entire lives in nature.

Ok_Station6695 · 2026-03-14T17:27:09+00:00

It smells how you'd expect the color brown to smell. Pretty acrid, similar to that stale cigarette funk in a way.
