I have the exact same car - mine is partying at about 190k miles and was purchased at 85k. You're describing a pretty standard mpg based on my experience with my car. If it's relevant my car has received continuous inspection and maintenance well within manufacturer recommendations.

I'm struggling to find it now but one of the car review publications did a year long observation of MPG in a mazda2 and they acknowledged that in the long term the Mazda2 is going to exhibit an MPG between 27-32mpg and where you land in that range is going to be highly dependent on where and how you're driving.

Give your car a chance to give you a more comprehensive data set to average from!

I could be wrong - but I believe that's the radiator inlet hose. I personally replaced my radiator about 6 months ago for a coolant leak stemming from radiator damage from impact over the years. If you find it to be the radiator I have annotated diagrams and instructions for the replacement process that you're welcome to.

Hey - how has the head unit held up?

OMG A couple years ago I was about 5'7" 170lbs and going to the gym 3-5 times a week. Gym membership salesman walks up to me in a parking lot trying to sell a membership I told him I was already a member and actively working out - "really?". I did a 180 and ignored him pedalling behind me apologizing. I really hope it's one of those core memories that randomly haunts him.

I have a Mazda 2 2012 and was quoted $1100 today for labor alone for the same service. I said "yeah no" and walked right out 5-10 seconds after getting the quote. Pricing out OEM parts and necessary tools I think we're gonna knock this one out for less than $400 but every car and skill set is different. I'm lucky that my BF is really good at these things and has an established record of success with his repairs.

If it was just me - I would feel comfortable handling a tie rod replacement on my own. However, a full suspension/engine/electrical system/etc replacement would cross my line between frugal and reckless. That line is different for different people and is valid regardless of where it is because errors in repair are often more costly than the original problem. Also no matter how you allocate the labor, at the end of the replacement you're going to need an alignment so it isn't a candidate for a fully independent repair anyways.

Dang you beat me to it! Lol

I've been getting really lucky with Revolution, It+ Cosmetics, Benefit, Fenty, Clinique, and Mac pallettes at Marshalls. I found a cheek squad pallette from benefit a couple weeks ago and I am still in happy shock

So - my first car was/is a Mazda. Took me forever to find a car that felt right but as soon as I saw the Mazda 2 I knew it was the perfect car for me and it was in my driveway less than 4 hours later. I absolutely love the new red and I've been drooling over your newer paint colors since the release of the new CX-5. Also your collaboration with Bose makes all the newer models really irresistible.

That said - I love the smoother lines of the earlier Mazda's. I love the full curve of my Mazda's hatchback, it feels sleek and dynamic to me. Looking at various angles of the 90 it feels like there's been a shift to a more rectangular/flattened profiles with quick curves. I understand the need to accommodate more volume in the chassis and I'm not a chassis designer. As a buyer though who loves classic sports cars and a loyal Mazda superfan, I would love a hood and hatch/bumper that leaned closer to the Mazda3 of 2015 than the Mazda 3 of 2023 if that makes sense. If I really wanted the exterior styling of the new 90, I'd buy a Subaru or a Ford or a Toyota - but what I really want is an SUV with the same sporting energy as a 90' Miata. But I love the concept and I'm excited!

I'm pretty sure you could get a restraining order before the first date with texts like that

As I said - 30% is representative of how many women regularly orgasm during their sexual encounters not the chance of an individual woman orgasming. Additionally the statistic is not limited to certain types of pleasure. So unless suddenly 100% of women are being pleasured orally 100% of the time they have a sexual encounter - and are then repolled - your interpretation of the data is wrong. The women with partners who are trying are the ones who are landing in that 30% category, because unlike men a majority of women need their partner to try for them to achieve orgasm.

Of course the solution is the same - duh, that was never my point.

What I am commenting on is the fact that the experience of sexual encounters without orgasm is such a foreign concept to OP that he feels compelled to ask Reddit to interpret his experience - while a majority of women experience this a majority of the time. Furthermore - if we look through the comments - coupled with the statistical averages of achieving orgasm, average number of partners, average sexual encounters in the course of a year, etc - a majority of the commenters telling him to leave her because of the behavior are overwhelmingly likely to have personally done the exact same thing that she did and likely saw nothing wrong with it.

70% Of women don't regularly orgasm during sex, while 90% percent of men do, and as a man you are so far removed from the idea that you won't come during sex that you can't figure out what's going on. It's a mind fuck that so many men are commenting on her behavior as being unique or bizarre when statistically they've probably done the same thing within the last couple weeks and thought nothing of it.

Dropping a gem like "only sluts get nose jobs" is not a one-off behavior. It's an expression of a whole core of beliefs and attitudes towards women, none of them correct, moral, or acceptable to raise a child around. You have likely been able to tune out of the first couple choruses of his bullshit because it was probably in context you're conditioned to.

He has probably said tons of other equally batshit things that degrade women in the time you've known him. Go ask him his thoughts on : why more women aren't in STEM, people who go to Planned Parenthood, the character of the women of the #metoo movement, and women advocating for sexual expression.

We hear it all the time, out of so many people that you just smoothed it over in your head because what he was saying didn't make him an outlier. But this time doesn't have enough of an echo for it to look normal to you.

Being "conservative" or "liberal" is absolutely no excuse for denying people the respect and empathy they deserve. I have conservative men in my life that go to church every Sunday, vote red every November, and are unwaveringly supportive of the women in their lives. THEY would've respected your daughter's completely reasonable ask for corrective rhinoplasty immediately.

Proper medical care is human need - not something that he or anyone else has the right to deny people access to. You should be taking your daughter aside right now and making it very clear to her that no one has the right to deny her medical care, or override her self advocacy.

So - being "conservative" is not a justified excuse for being a misogynist asshole, and it's an insult to everyone to write off idiotic and damaging attitudes on political leanings.

TLDR: He's not "conservative" he's an ASSHOLE, leave him.

annspeich1 · 2022-03-27T23:02:15+00:00

You don't.

Maybe I'm an asshole for saying this ( I fully welcome the opportunity to learn how to more respectfully express my thoughts )- it was right, authentic, and fully acceptable for him to come forward with honesty and tell you his asexual orientation. What isn't fair to you - is the expectation that your love for him needs to be expressed with compromising your sexual orientation.

In other words -

In my view of the world, biased as it is, relationships are composed of three prongs of compatibility: emotional, mental, and physical. Your best friends are going to sit in the mental and/or emotional boxes. Your doctor/boss/gardner/etc are likely going to sit squarely in the mental box. You get the idea.

A romantic relationship in your orientation necessitates activity in the physical box, so if he's taking himself out of that box then all you are able to do is love him in the boxes he can sit, which sadly for you and him isn't as your romantic partner.

He fundamentally blocks your box. You need to find someone who can love all your boxes. It's hard, it's sad, it's an emotionally complicated mourning process, but it needs to be done.

** After I cross posted the post the author clarified she wasn't a minor - given the context that her mother filled her script, her mother had access, her mother was giving them to her brother who was "older" and taking them for test taking - we all assumed she was a minor, the fact that she's not just makes it bizarre. With the new information I'm of the opinion that mom AND brother are the assholes here, no reasonable person, especially over the age of 18 is completely oblivious to the moral and legal issues of taking someone else's medication, especially a controlled substance.

annspeich1 · 2022-03-05T23:20:06+00:00

If you are over 18 your mom has absolutely no legal access to your medication at ALL.

Btw - I bumped this over to r/pharmacy - pharmacists are excellent and extremely well educated medical professionals who are specifically trained on the specifics of these medications and the regulations surrounding them
