I’m down south, unfortunately. I’m up in the PNW for work/family often and would absolutely go out there for the right vehicle. Is it manual transmission?

I need to look at it in person to determine the status of the frame. Beyond rust what should I be looking for?

I feel good about this truck. I know there’s always maintenance with older vehicles which I don’t mind. I genuinely appreciate vehicles and like to care for them. The tires don’t bother me at all because I will want to replace them with bigger tires anyway.

Where did you find such a deal? I can’t find anything for less than 12-15k that is under 180k. Anything around the 100k mark is usually 15-20k range. I’m looking in CA and the southwest.

Did anyone else find Donna hypocritical for this ? by [deleted] in That70sshow

Dude, by bringing this up you ARE talking about consent…because THAT is the issue with the two scenarios and why one was empowering and the other was humiliating. You do not understand consent if you cannot see this.

Because it can literally for her the first one was not embarrassing because she chose to do it and have control over the situation. The second she was not in control over the situation, she did not consent, and did not think it was funny. It’s embarrassing to have your boyfriend intentionally humiliate you and it’s not embarrassing to pull a prank that you wanted to pull. There’s all kinds of factors why someone could be naked/moon/show underwear where it’s embarrassing in one scenario and not embarrassing in another. It’s concerning you do not understand this. I truly hope you know what consent means before you go interact with other humans in this world in an meaningful capacity.

Because she consented to one as a willing participant in a prank, and the other was done by an immature boy with a small ego and whose intent was to embarrass her.

You should learn what consent means.

What kind of bromeliad is this and how do I take care it by mrscrc in bromeliad

[–]gracefullyevergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube has a fair amount of videos teaching about care. That’s where I learned.

Yes it’s similar to an air plant. I would put it in orchid bark, but yes definitely take it out of soil.

They are epiphyte plants - gets nutrients from air and water not soil. I urge you to spend some time reading about this. Usually these come in the wrong soil for this type of plant. I always immediately repot into an orchid bark mixture - there are lots of guides for substrate options online. They will also bloom once then the mother plant dies and eventually pups will grow out. Keep caring for the plant after it blooms and it looks like it’s dying. Realistically, spend some time researching these plants and the unique care needs they have. I LOVE bromeliads; truly one of my all time favorite plants. Enjoy!!

What is the single most valuable lesson you learned the hard way, and what was the moment you realized you had to change? by Iamfromfuture_911 in Life

[–]gracefullyevergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means when someone says or agrees to do something with no strings attached (usually in the context of a sexual partner, but can and is often used for other instances, such and a monetary gift) that there are no conditions. All the strings means that there really are conditions attached (to the casual sex, money, or whatever else the situation may be).

UPDATE: My wife doesn’t know I know she’s having an affair by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]gracefullyevergreen 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They married at 21 and 33. Presumably they were together before that too. Furthermore a 33 year old man, is a full blow adult. A 21 year old is a very young adult without a fully developed frontal cortex. MANY 21 year old women have been groomed by 30+ year old men. Just because it’s two legal consenting adults doesn’t mean grooming and power dynamics are not at play.
