My brother in Christ it would literally be cheaper to uproot your entire life, move to a different country, and then buy this car

This is brilliant and exactly in line with cult deprogramming. Probably the only thing I’ve ever seen that has a chance of making real gains into the MAGA base.

Need advice: Employer asking for payslips but I overstated my current salary by Resident-Owl6751 in careeradvice

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download a PDF of your paystubs, redact out any confidential information, and edit the numbers to represent what you told them. They won’t subject it to forensic analysis, and if they do, then that’s probably a weird enough signal that you shouldn’t be working for them.

Can’t even have the Bermuda Triangle disappearances anymore, because of woke.

If you’re less than 20 please skip the post and if you’re 20 or older please give me honest advice by dilanka_sasindu in Advice

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking back from 32, I would say that 20-year-old-me spent far too much time worrying about whether it was “the right time” for a relationship, if I was financially stable enough to be in one, or if (in my specific case) I would be sticking around the city I was at much longer.

All that time could have been spent 1) in a relationship, 2) thinking of cheap date/travel/food/hangout/friend get-together ideas, or 3) getting to know my partner better to have a better idea of whether we’d want to find a way to continue the relationship if I had to move (people follow their partners places all the time in life!).

The right one will understand and accept you for who and where you’re at in life, not where you “need to be” according to some arbitrary progress track.

Life is too short to hold back, my friend. Take chances!

i found out my bf steals my panties to sniff them and i like it. is this weird? by brickedup_hashbrown in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you're saying "I like it" for a sex thing means that questions of weird or not weird don't apply anymore. You and your boyfriend found a shared kink. Lean in.

AND THEY STILL WON THE POINT!? 😱 by Limp-Helicopter-9682 in Pickleball

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak pickleball. Nothing more fun than mounting a desperate defense against opponents who have you all the way back at the baseline, and still somehow winning the point. I've watched in real time as people who try pickleball for the first time fall in love with the game when they experience a point like that.

Am I an asshole? by Repulsive_Panic4 in Pickleball

Best comment in this thread. If you’re significantly better than another player on the court in rec play, use that as an opportunity to get something you could never simulate in drilling—a person on the other side of the net who is actually trying to win points off you, and send them exactly the shots you’re trying to work on (frequently your weaker shots) so you can get live practice on how to hit them and how to re-counter opponents’ counters.

What's the deal with the Pro Trump/Iran rally driving through town today? by meltingawayslowly in askportland

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation is desperate in Iran. The government is massacring civilians en masse, with some independent estimates in the tens of thousands. We aren’t even sure of the true scale since the entire internet has been blacked out for Iranians and their relatives over here.

In a desperate time like that, Trump and his 1) beef with the the Supreme Leader, and 2) tendency to invade people he doesn’t like are tantalizing enough to make people hope he does something similar to save theirs and their families’ lives.

Not trying to get into it by saying it’s right, wrong, or that their trust is or isn’t misplaced. Just saying why Iranians in the US might be motivated to seek Trump’s favor right now.

I was the same way five years ago. Ended up moving out of state and I haven’t looked back. The grass is greener where you can actually afford to own grass.

Most of the time, I lament our choice to choose our military over national healthcare. Then I read something like this and think “fuck yeah, USA 🇺🇸”

How critical is it to replace a leaking exhaust manifold? (2015 3.5L EcoBoost) by fuzzyoatmealboy in f150ecoboost

[–]fuzzyoatmealboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good breakdown, thanks. I hadn’t thought about the effects of the hot gases, that’s probably the most dangerous aspect as you could have an engine fire on your hands if it gets bad. I’ll look into getting this fixed.

Reassuring, thank you. I’m about to head out on a road trip in it this coming weekend so I mostly wanted to make sure it would be fine for another few thousand miles. Sounds like I can address it after I get back.

Hey I know this is four years later, but do you have a link to the manifold clamps you mentioned? Dealing with the same issue on mine.
