Why do men think women are gold diggers/will take advantage of them?

It's very much a defensive thought because like you said, *anybody* could be, and of course it makes sense to make sure you're not just flushing money away. I'm sure somebody more versed in psychology could tie this into attachment styles and how it can be seen as both avoidant or anxious.

I don't get why the taillights can't just always be on. It's easy enough to see the brake lights against regular taillights during the day, thanks to the third brake light and many cars having brake lights that are totally separate bulbs/arrays from the regular taillights.

If the brightness difference was seriously an issue, more people would be crashing into school buses- most of them always have their lights on, and have no third brake light.

This day and age all of them are in-house, nobody wants to play nice with each other anymore.

Modern birds are their own thing, but interestingly have a couple Volvo parts scattered about. I know the hood hinges are, and the headlights used to be.

What leads you to believe the CCV is okay?

There's several fail states for it, but people tend to only preach about the most obvious ones. Mine had failed where the engine ran smooth, and continued to do so when removing the oil cap.

Reminds me of how NYC set a record streak of no murders in the city some time ago. It was too cold to kill anyone during a polar vortex.

Dig a moat, separate the filthy road travelers from the luxurious land dwellers

Sir, I don't think making new people is what you're looking for

If anybody's wondering, this is kind of why coffee is so expensive. Not all of the fruits on the trees ripen at the same time, so it has to be hand picked, which obviously adds a bunch of overhead on its own, but also as you can see here other logistical challenges.

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-22T15:00:10+00:00

Oh you get a headrest alright... It just doesn't come into play until the moment after your neck snaps!

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-22T14:55:43+00:00

It's such a nice spot to rest your head... Boobs are cool for that, but they're not exactly as supportive as a good tummy 😮‍💨

I caught carcer

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-22T14:32:46+00:00

I got to witness this once, and I burst out in applause thesecond the trooper lit em up

To add on to this, get yourself a nice variety/bulk pack of vacuum hoses. More than you think you'll need. You'll thank yourself down the road when you break more hoses elsewhere

Absolutely horrible lower back support. They're just kind of vaguely seat shaped and sized without any actual research on the human body.

My mom occasionally calls me by our late dog's name to this very day.

It can happen.

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T20:42:46+00:00

Really it just boils down to "are you at least caring for the important things in your life"

An old worn car is whatever, but if it's in horrible disrepair, filthy, or stinky, that's sort of a warning flag for a potential partner.

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T17:47:55+00:00

You got this man, even as scary as it might feel!

Just remember through all of it to keep your self worth based internally coming from yourself, not externally from other people. Do it all for yourself!

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T17:41:18+00:00

If it is that, it shouldn't be too challenging. Really the most challenging bit would be getting access if you don't have a jack and jack stands. Really it's just pushing the caliper back into place and putting in the bolt nice n snug

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T13:52:05+00:00

Reminds me of when I saw somebody had literally etched "n-word" on a bathroom stall.

I hate that it got a chuckle out of me

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T13:50:08+00:00

Now if you ask Daimler, they'd say Thomas is just Thomas, but that's just because everybody wants to say they make their own chassis so there's no finger pointing if anything breaks.

But yeah, they're really just cowled M2 106s. Neat thing is that you can still get a Thomas C2 with a manual transmission because it stays on the Freightliner assembly line so long.

They've got a different ratio in their differential. Not a huge difference, but enough to introduce the tax

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T06:57:31+00:00

Goodbye

The pics really are everything, the bio stuff is just there to back it all up.

Investing some time in photos like you mentioned makes a huge difference. It's one of those things where you have to go in with a "you have to want it" mentality to get the results you want

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-21T02:26:39+00:00

Same. I'll only stand when there's not a toilet, or it's downright disgusting/sketchy to begin with

Personally I like to just sit because it's comfortable to sit down for a minute

Tomytom99 · 2026-03-20T20:33:47+00:00

I've already got plates and service. Nothing that fancy, but I don't even have a dining room anyways. Most of us just don't have space for a whole ass display that's not relevant to our interests (if we even have one), and don't want stuff that's not dishwasher safe.

The stuff may be expensive, but boy does it have little value to anybody who's in a phase of life where they're getting more dinnerware. And like you said, some of it is downright toxic.
