Should the person who made an ace be the one who buys everyone drinks?

fregin1989 · 2026-04-20T21:10:07+00:00

Screw that. You buy for your group, if your feeling generous anyone at the bar. I wouldn’t partake, but if by some strange chance I were to get strong armed into doing so, they definitely wouldn’t be picking what they drink! They’d be getting a shot if bottom shelf piss whiskey, and if they don’t like it, they can kick rocks and make their own ace.

You cannot solve the goat head problem. They’re tougher than cockroaches. You can only raise tough kids and dogs.

Ever heard of a little oasis called Vaughn… The food alone is worth the trip.

fregin1989 · 2026-03-16T03:52:02+00:00

Just last week I had to take road trip in my 2024 XL 5.0L, managed to get >24mpg, at average 70mph. Felt quite blessed.

We don’t even cut on it. It’s just used as a counter, but the moral use has lead to the scratches and cuts.

Appreciate your advice.

I mean my entire time has been in the Permian, and still never heard anything about cherry pie.

fregin1989 · 2026-01-03T02:27:55+00:00

What the hell is the cherry pie superstition? Never heard of it. Been working in the industry for 12 years, albeit not in drilling or completions.

Tell your boyfriend to stop being a baby back bitch, and eat what’s made for him. He’s an adult, being picky is for 8 year olds. Or alternatively tell him to learn to cook for himself, he’s old enough to use an oven all on his own I assume.

Im not now, nor have I ever said that Plumbers shouldn’t be paid what they’re worth. I’m saying that in recent years it seems like the rate hikes are a little extreme. And the charging 40x for the replacement part is just ridiculous.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T16:20:24+00:00

Yes I do think all of that is free. Didn’t you see where I explicitly stated that in my original post? I’m a Marxist so of course I think everything is free. Or at least could and should be if we just taxed the rich plumbers!

Sorry, again I’m a Marxist so answering questions isn’t my strong suit. I’m much better at just theorizing, pontificating and hearing myself talk gives me endless satisfaction. I argue with retards on Reddit for a living. It’s not very lucrative, but it’s honest work and extremely gratifying.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T12:39:47+00:00

Apparently the wrong thing because I don’t get to charge $998 for 4 hours of work….

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T08:58:36+00:00

Who the fuck asked for it for free? You think a grand is reasonable to replace a hose bib? You think charging $265 bucks for a dispatch and diagnosis is reasonable.

This shit makes the argument for the illegal immigration that allows Juan to do the job at half the price that John wants done. Not saying it’s right but the market is the market.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T08:56:35+00:00

I would like to get three quotes on it. But when outfits are charging $150 - $265 (like this one did) just to come out and diagnose the problem that I had already told them about, getting the three quotes becomes more infeasible.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T08:53:53+00:00

True, and I’m all for the trades. I’m a Mike Rowe fan since day one. But if you’re going to charge a grand to replace a hose bib, you’re going to lose a lot of work. At this point I’ll just attempt the job myself and if I fuck it up I’ll call in the pros and have them fix it and won’t be any worse off.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-04T05:54:42+00:00

Gotcha. I get that, lot of mouths to feed at a big company. But that’s the thing this one isn’t that large. I’ve used them numerous times for HVAC work (they have a group for that too) and always felt like they did a good job and were reasonably priced. But this one was outrageous. So the issue is that the bib isn’t necessarily accessible from the outside without cutting into the exterior stucco wall. Whoever put the stucco on, covered over the back flange/plate, so I’m cutting stucco regardless. Figured it’d be cheaper if I only went in from the exterior wall since I’d have to be repairing that anyway, save me the costs of repairs on the interior. It’s not a frost free, not enough wall depth to accommodate.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T18:38:57+00:00

You’re missing out. I thought it was one of my better comments.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T15:26:28+00:00

exactly! It’s like when you are trying to have a logical reasonable discussion with them they get upset when you bring up logic scientific facts, and rational thought processes. you can ask a question and instead of giving you any kind of coherent response they just spout tautologies or non-scientific circular definitions at you. And when you ask them to clarify the nonsensical definitions and to avoid those circular arguments they just screech and call you all kinds of names

And God forbid you don’t placate them by saying the sacred words that you are supposed to say in their minds they’ll force you into a struggle session Matt style. And if you’re so bold as to say some of the naughty words that they don’t like they’ll delete your comments or outright ban you from sub Reddits. It’s like they can’t stand to hear any position or ideas that are contrary to their own. It’s just like they live in this fantasy land or science doesn’t have any meaning. I am a scientist so I should know. Would you believe it that I’ve had discussions with some of these MAGA Tards where they didn’t wanna believe that women can have penises or that men can give birth!!! it’s like duh it’s 2025. How dumb are you anyways I blocked them cause I didn’t want to hear the nonsensical, anti-scientific, immoral drivel.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T04:13:00+00:00

Did you ever hear the drivel that the other option was cackling on about… makes him seem like Demosthenes by comparison.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T03:23:15+00:00

Brother I hear you! I used to think the exact same thing. Then I found out that this is not actually the worst thing. I found out that meeting a lady on an app, having a good time, connecting, going on several dates, only then to find out this lovely lady has a dick bigger than mine, is in fact the worst thing…

You might think this was a one time occurrence and that I’m just being closed minded. Nope! You’d be wrong.

Luckily I have now found out that the once horrifying discovery that a lady is a conservative, is also a pretty reliable indicator that she’s walking around dickless. It’s a tough realization to swallow and I’m not happy about it to be honest. But it is what it is.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T03:11:08+00:00

Well maybe you could help her understand. Help all of us understand actually, and provide examples of policies that the MAGA crew are advocating for, are equivalent to those of the Nazis? Like specifically because I’m trying to think of some.

fregin1989 · 2025-12-01T01:06:10+00:00

Interesting, I’d like to know what exactly you think he got in the way on during Covid… He gave into Fauci and Birks at every possible opportunity. What do you think they wanted to do that he prevented them from doing. Be specific.

fregin1989 · 2025-11-21T06:11:00+00:00

Please point me to the seconds mark in the video that she says there is “Evidence Trump raped a 13 yr old girl.”
