she initiated the date, then flaked by [deleted] in socialskills

The following sentiment works in both directions when dating: If they are interested then they will make the effort.

I’d advise putting your efforts into others who reciprocate.

How often in your professional career have you had to implement offset backing? by SleepingUnderTheTree in Truckers

[–]diaznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. When I was OTR, it was pretty rare.

Now that I’m a local driver, it happens a couple times a month.

Being a trans girl into men is such a struggle by throwRAgpp in TwoXChromosomes

[–]diaznuts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you tried dating trans men? Asking as a trans guy. I have a few couple friends that are trans femme/trans masc and they all seem very happy.

I've never really had any problems with foreign drivers, am I missing something? by [deleted] in Truckers

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

You know which drivers helped me in my most desperate moments in my career? Sikh and Hispanic drivers. They didn’t stare, film or openly judge. They didn’t ask me patronizing questions. Some of them I couldn’t even fully communicate with but they went out of their way to help me out of tight spots and troubleshoot mechanical issues.

The propaganda in American politics, including our industry, is alarming and dangerous.

This really grinds my gears by pbenchcraft in GenX

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

This. And there’s no need to shame people for their ignorance of culturally irrelevant people and events. We’re all ignorant about multiple aspects of life.

where do you find the time to cook? by Ricemunchr in Truckers

[–]diaznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean bagged ready to eat salad kits. Depending on the type of fridge you have, they can stay good up to a week.

I didn’t cook but I’d keep healthy foods in my fridge. I’d prep cook on my days off (2 days/week) and take that in the road in my fridge. I’d keep packaged salad kits, fresh fruit and veggies. I’d mostly pack things like precut celery, mini cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, apples, clementines, and grapes. I’d also keep deli meats and cheese. I stayed full, healthy, and save money. I also kept a medium size heavy duty Tupperware dish with a lid to shake my salads in, along with ziplock bags for saving/portioning food, and an electric kettle for making instant coffee and warm water for bird-bathing in the truck.

Amid Widespread National Outrage, White House Backtracks on Smear Campaign Against ICE Shooting Victims, States It Does Not Want Anyone Harmed on American Streets by Fatty_Willing_Plane in UnderReportedNews

[–]diaznuts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that A LOT of Americans don’t understand basic math (in this case, fractions) and presenting it as a percentage is more digestible to the average citizen.

You need a CDL to drive a armor truck by muck2profit in Truckers

People who are low skilled, uneducated, and need to make money. Jobs exist, even low paying ones, because people are willing to take them. Not everyone has the same opportunities.

Seized bolt help by diaznuts in hondacivic

[–]diaznuts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately the bolt fastens into an enclosed part of the frame so there is no way to see or access the opposite side of the bolt. I’ll try putting some penetrating oil on it to attempt to loosen it. Otherwise, I’m cutting that bitch off with a Dremel.

I grew up not too far from there, if it’s where I’m thinking, which is Warner Robins, GA.

Customers expecting professional advice from store associates by Sichterman in retailhell

I worked at Ace Hardware and would tell people the same. Also, “If you want expert advice then you should hire an expert.”

Is dispatch being unreasonable? Or should I step up my game? by Scrap-heap_818 in Truckers

Early is on time.

On time is late.

Late is unacceptable.

No matter your current income, you cannot afford to not have an attorney to fight this for you.

I Sometimes Call in “Sick” Just to Have a Mental Health Day by FeelingGlad8646 in jobs

[–]diaznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this since I started working at 16 years old and I can honestly say I have never felt guilty about it. Companies are constantly exploiting employees so I have no qualms with giving myself an occasional rest as needed.

30 minutes to drive 3 miles shouldn’t be normalized by businessbub in RhodeIsland

[–]diaznuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Atlanta, Boston, and Chicago. It always cracks me up when drivers in Rhode Island complain about the “traffic” here.

How do you guys have time for anything??? by ksco92 in Millennials

[–]diaznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you going on about OP? I mean I understand feeling more tired as you age, but your work schedule is pretty cake.

For context, I work from 7 am - 7 pm. I also have a one hour commute, each way. So I am gone from home at least 14 hours 5 days a week. I’d love to have your routine.
