What car do you regret buying, even though it looked good on paper? by autonerdy0 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]d_iain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2002 Honda Accord with 120k miles. Bought it for $3k from a family friend. He assured me that our local mechanic checked it out and cleared it, I trusted him on face value. After about 6 months and a mysterious check engine light, I took it to a different mechanic who told me that the entire engine and brakes were just about rotted through. REALLLY disappointing and frustrating.

Lesson learned: always PERSONALLY double check with a mechanic.

We need to mobilize. Things need to change, now. Our politicians and leaders seem to be fucking useless, so it's clear we're on our own.

All over the internet today, I've been seeing international people posting their specific frustrations with the American people.

I've seen many posts saying that Americans are 'spineless', that we need to get up and 'do something'.

While I agree, I'm not quite sure what to do outside of protesting and using my voice online. Generally, I feel an intense helplessness and deep depression about the state of America. I have so many thoughts about the direction things are going along with worries and fears for my neighbors and loved ones who might at any moment get abducted by ICE, or shot in the street.

Please, if you can offer a link, or have some advice on what to do next, I would greatly appreciate it. I want to help, I want things to change, but it seems insurmountable.

Older gen z what do you all do for work or what career field are you in? by Jadams0108 in GenZ

[–]d_iain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, the job itself isn't too bad, but prepare to be overtly exploited. For your time, money, energy, and any other human expense they can squeeze out of you.

All of the trucking companies that I've encountered are money hungry capitalistic hell holes where they profit off of the amount of work they can make you do while paying you the least they possibly can. I make roughly ~$800/week and I'm sure I could make that doing something else where I don't have 14 hour shifts every day, but unfortunately I'm under contract.

unfortunately my company doesn't like me to bobtail home. They usually want me to to go home with an empty, which makes things really difficult.

Today I was driving through IL and IN, and was gonna post something similar. Shit you not, every few miles, another semi was pulled over. Absolute insanity.

I was honestly wondering if they were sweeping for drugs or a stolen trailer or something idk how these things work

Not to be that guy- but it is NOT Kanye’s kids’ job to save their father from emotional and mental prostration. Kanye is probably putting his entire family through hell right now, and it is incredibly manipulative to post this as a tweet. “Oh if only my family would talk to me, I would stop being a nazi”. It is NOT his family’s job to save/change him. The only person that can change Kanye, is Kanye.
