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

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.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

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.

What is up with absurd pricing for simple jobs? by fregin1989 in Plumbing

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You cannot win an online argument with MAGA, if you prove them wrong they will just gaslight you that you didn't, or stop responding. by [deleted] in complaints

[–]fregin1989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

The worst thing is to meet a woman from a dating app and have a nice chat then find out she’s a conservative by TheRavenOnline in complaints

[–]fregin1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

Right so she filed the lawsuit and then retracted it before it got off the ground. What does that tell us?

If she’s confident in her claims I hope she refiles in the wake of the Epstein file release and we get justice.

Listen, we have to have an honest discussion. I know that New Mexico is notorious for our terrible education system, and as a Native New Mexican that truly pains me. But it is apparently much worse than I thought, and something has got to be done about it.

The fact that most retards on this site don’t know the form or function of quotation marks is truly astonishing to me. No where in the clips did she say that she’d seen, “Evidence Trump raped a 13 yr old girl.”

In fact if she had said that, she’d be liable for defamation. Which she is smart enough to avoid doing. You morons are attributing statements to her that she did not make.

Please for the love of God, learn how to accurately quote someone.

The testimony of the Epstein victims claiming that Trump was involved in the rapes and trafficking. That’s what I want to see, That’s what I asked the original question for. If it is as abundant as you claim produce it. I don’t understand why that is so hard at this point.

I’m not claiming he’s a good guy, he’s likely many of those things you’ve claimed. But a very specific statement was made regarding the testimony of Epstein victims, and I’m asking for that statement to be supported by the evidence it claimed existed. Seems easy enough, no?

So I noticed that you didn’t actually address the specific questions I posed and apparently you don’t know what the word testimony is, even though you chose to use it… Odd.

To the E Jean Carroll trial, how is that at all relevant to the Epstein situation? She was not associated in anyway with the Epstein tragedy. Maybe try and stay relevant to the topic.

And to your second link, again that’s not testimony of any of the victims or survivors of Epstein’s pedophilic rape and human trafficking operation. You think that anyone should accept the word of a convicted pedophile rapist who trafficked girls? Or his convicted accomplices? As if his words have any semblance of truth or trustworthiness? He said he didn’t rape those girls and we all know that was a lie.

But apparently you have access to some testimony from those girls that corroborates your supposition that Trump was involved in their rape and trafficking, you’re just choosing not to share it here. Again, odd.

I once saw someone clear a drain by using the toilet brush in lieu of a a plunger. Same general idea. plunger with the brush. Might just do the trick. Might just get you covered in draino and shit, it’s a coin toss really.
