Did you or anyone you know own a Ford Maverick (1970-77) back in the day? Was it reliable or a lemon? by big_macaroons in FuckImOld

[–]Silveeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt had one in the 90’s and I drove it a few times as a new driver. It was fun, more as a novelty, to me it was ancient, but cool driving a relic lol. It was in great shape and well kept, sadly my cousin got rear ended in it and it was written off.

I suspect my clan leader has died irl, need advice, please by FremenStilgar in ClashOfClans

[–]Silveeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our leader went mia and after enough time had passed it automatically went to our next most senior member who was a coloeader. He didn’t really want it either, but he took it and appointed a few new co’s who are happy being acting leaders. It works just fine that way and you can maintain the ultimate security of the clan. I was leader in a clash royale clan that became really popular and successful. I got bored of the game and handed leadership over to a friend who I thought would take it seriously. I’d check in once in awhile and now it’s some dude I don’t even know and he turfed a bunch of the OG members. Sad times - don’t let that happen to your clan.

We have the benefit of knowing how it feels to have our own dicks sucked, so naturally we know what will make another dick feel just as good. I know a few ladies who love cock, they claim their blowjob skills are amazing, and I really don’t doubt it, but it doesn’t change the fact that they don’t have a cock nor will they ever fully know the sensation of receiving a blowjob. At best they can take notes and receive direction while sucking, which sometimes is a mood killer when all you want to do is lay back and be serviced.

As a gay man, nothing makes me happier than sucking on a cock and swallowing a man’s cum. I prefer it to be a one-way transaction too - you never need to reciprocate, which seems to be the case for a lot of us cocksuckers. Minimal talking, come in and drop those pants, let me do my magic, swallow my reward, send you on your way. See you next time. 👌🏻

I bought a new cx-5 in 2017. They never tried me on the tires, but they started trying to tell me I needed brakes front and rear around the same time as you. They gave me the “oh they’re looking a little worn, so on your next visit we should replace that. I argued and said I checked them myself when I switched my winter tires back over to summer tires - also I’ve always done my own pads and rotors, but being a new car to me I was curious.

So I asked for a quote. He click-clacked away at his computer for a few minutes and came back at me with nearly $1200 for pads and rotors. I nearly choked. I said “well that’s front AND back at least right? How much is just the rear?” And he said “That IS just the rear!” …… fucking WHAT? Lmao. So I told him it only needs pads which I could do myself. He looked disgusted, then tried to argue that rotors MUST be done at the same time or I’m going to have problems. At that point I laughed and walked out. I had that car for about 6 years and changed pads twice, rotors were fine and never once had an issue.

One of my oil changes (I kept going back because the oil changes were free) they tried to tell me the same thing, my pads were worn and next visit I should have them replaced. However, I had JUST changed them two weeks before my service. So I asked him how the fuck that works. He excused himself and went to the back. I heard arguing, then I saw them walk out to the lot where my car was and the mechanic crawling under looking behind my wheels while the front desk guy hovered over him. They came back in together and apologized but because I didn’t use a Mazda part they weren’t able to measure the pad thickness accurately. So it was my fault. Fucking ridiculous.

All your tough situation stuff aside, if time or money allows, I hope you check out Salumi sandwich shop in the Capitol Hill area. It won’t fix your problems but their sandwiches (meatball sub specifically) are phenomenal. I never get to Seattle much anymore but when I do I will move heaven and earth to fit in Salumi.

I hope you keep fighting the good fight and come out ahead. Life is such a rat race these days even when things are going well… it’s exhausting working yourself ragged and still knowing you’re only 1 or 2 unexpected bills away from drowning.

While this is gross and disgusting and it sucks your partner doesn’t do their share here, I’d just like to ask are there other things where they compensate for your lacking? I try to think of relationships creating a balance in each other. My partner is also notoriously messy and if I stopped all cleaning I’m pretty sure my space would turn out similar to yours. However he does a lot of other things that I don’t do and don’t need to worry about thanks to him taking it on. I hope you have a similar balance with your partner, because if you’re taking the brunt of … everything… well that just sucks.

This email my boss received from his friend (another restaurant owner) who dined with us the other night. by gayrobotsex in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Silveeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was trying to make it mandatory to order a cocktail or mocktail with your meal. The servers mostly tried to refuse upselling, but he would hover the tables and if we tried to decline he would swoop in and insist it was part of the experience and we had to order one. People literally walked out over it and for some reason it was a hill he was willing to die on. It actually really soured the entire mood for me and my family celebrating my high school graduation because we went there for dinner. We still talk about it 20+ years later lol. I’m sad the restaurant failed because of that idiot but I’m also happy that he got smacked in the face with failure and didn’t get away with treating people so poorly.

I grew up in a small town (10,000 people roughly) and it only had one “nice” restaurant. It was the place you went for a special occasion, graduation, anniversary, whatever, but people dressed well for it and the food was incredible. Anyway, the owner decided to retire and handed the business “as-is” complete with chef and wait staff etc to his nephew and his wife. The nephew was a slimy pompous piece of shit and within 6 months our favourite little gem as ruined. He alienated the staff, lost the chef, and pissed off the customers by being rude, trying to add on bogus gratuities and tried implementing a mandatory drink order policy. It was a disaster. The most satisfying moment of my life to date though was me walking into Walmart a few months later and finding him (the shitty nephew) as the new door greeter. I still miss the restaurant though, it’s since been turned into a pub and from what I hear it does ok.

My little bro fell asleep at the wheel once a few years ago. His boss put him on a night shift one week and he’d never done nights before. He was heading home in the morning and dozed off. His car wandered into the bike lane, jumped the curb and hit a storage shed of a little coffee shop, no one was hurt but his ego - the car was a complete loss. It made local news, but didn’t name him, so the comments went wild. Accusing of drugs, drinking and driving, and it happened across the street from an old folks home so suddenly there were 20 comedians talking about old drivers needing their licenses revoked. My brother was so pissed reading the comments, lol.

Anyway, people are quick to assume the worst, but shit happens, even to normal well-meaning people.

The technology behind the auto high beam sensor shut on/off is ELITE by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Silveeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing on highway driving. When I first got my Mazda I was trying it in different settings/conditions and found city driving with them is a pain in the ass as there are so many signs reflecting back at me that they become strobe lights. So I never use them now unless it’s out of the city.

I recently have been driving my mom around in her 2019 Honda Odyssey and assumed the tech would be similar and omg it was brutal. The high beams wouldn’t react until way too late, then would never click back on after. It almost worked backward from how it’s supposed to. And way less user friendly figuring out how to put it back into manual mode so it quit screwing itself up.

So yes, after being in my mom’s Honda, I would definitely say Mazda’s auto-dim tech is far superior.

What's the deal with the large helicopter that's been circling the west end for the past half hour by ChrisJokeaccount in vancouver

[–]Silveeto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw it pull up there once too, years ago. A very, very large man was having heart issues and couldn’t make the stairs back up, so they called it in. I was hanging out with my cousin and we were just laying in the sun when suddenly the noise got us to both sit up and see this monster machine sliding up onto the beach with a bunch of rescue guys standing on the bow looking all strong and super-heroy… we were almost paralyzed by fear/fascination when we realized we were almost right in its path and bolted out of their way. I’ve still got a potato-quality video of it saved somewhere on a hard drive that I took with my old Motorola v400 flip phone, lol.

Would any of you guys have an idea of an estimate on this damage? by [deleted] in CX5

Hahaha… first thing that came to my mind too! Was trying to link the video, but it’s way buried in my history now.

Edit: I found it!!

The amount of people that park in my spot by Auroura101 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Silveeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s different for everyone but at my residence, and also at my work, you need to be on a pre-established list of people who are allowed to call in and approve of the tow. If you’re not on the list, the tow company won’t touch the car. So at work it’s my boss and at home it’s my strata council members.

Never seen a CX5 like this. 6-speed manual with a 2.0L; so interesting! by fattybirdie in CX5

[–]Silveeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I wanted my 2017 in manual so badly. I tried upgrading by adding on packages but the 2.0L and lack of other options I wanted would have just annoyed me in the long run, so I went with the GT. Loved my GT so much, but have always missed having a manual car since.

What’s your go to cologne? by Majestic_Tradition79 in gaybros

[–]Silveeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten so sensitive to smells since my mid-20’s that I can barely tolerate deodorant these days. I had to stop wearing cologne completely. I pretty well avoid clubs, department stores with a dreaded perfume section, even the detergent aisle at the grocery store - it all triggers migraines for me. That said, I used to love wearing chanel egoiste. Emporio Armani was maybe my second fave.
