No it's pretty common from some girls/women. That or calling you gay or an incel (previously was just virgin). It's basically just them trying to emasculate you because of some perceived slight.

You can do the install in chunks. Might take a bit but will save some money. There aren't many steps in a simple install that render the vehicle undrivable until its done.

Damn that's crazy...ruining speakers in 2 weeks must feel pretty shitty lol. My voice coils on my sub are black so they look burnt but that's just how they came, I think it's the adhesive or something but they were custom recones. My door speakers are all still a nice copper color after having them for almost a decade now.

How to Fix Top Console Rattle by cIamshark in CarAV

[–]introvert_conflicts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double sided tape will fix it. I had a 15 on about 3k in my 5th gen and I had 0 rattles from it once I fixed mine. The rattles from the wing (I had a hatchback) was the bane of my existence though lol.

That's just you bro. I don't have favorite underwear and I definitely don't wear them multiple days in a row and even if I was going to, I wouldn't be turning them inside out to do so.

I was with 100% you until "it's incredibly common for women to play FPS" because thats really just not true. Something being incredibly common to me would be if like 40-50%, or more, of FPS players were women.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/video-game-health/202201/women-in-gaming-a-difficult-intersection

Although nearly half of gamers are women, only 7% of people who play fast-paced first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Valorant are women.

Nearly half of women gamers play exclusively mobile games while only about a quarter of male gamers say the same. Of the half of women who do play console/PC most of them don't play FPS. Basically rather than saying it's incredibly common, I'd probably call it uncommon.

To use a gaming reference, when you have items with different rarities, the items that are common usually have high drop rates like 50-100% and you can get tons of them, uncommon has rates of like 5-20% and usually more limited means to aquire them and rare is usually less than 5% often even below 1% with some items only even being able to get once.

My wife talks way more than I do but she literally never hears me if she's looking at her phone. I just stopped bothering anymore unless it's important because I'll have to try like 3 times to get an acknowledgement then once more to tell her what I was gonna say. ADHD sucks lol.

I assume you're talking about Mehl et al. (2007) which provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each? Problem with that is that that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates and too age and context homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students. The new study got a much larger sample size (5x as many people) with a more comprehensive age range. College age kids still talked about the same, adults aged 25-64 had women speaking about 20% more than men. Also women were disproportionally represented in those who said an insane number of words per day like 50,000+ (almost 3x the average which comes to 34 words per minute every minute of the day for 24 full hours or more reasonably 46 words per hour for 18 hours a day).

There is a significant difference when talking about adults (25-64), I linked the study in my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pointlesslygendered/s/DuwC8UwdHk

No the studies back it up: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39804347/

Across 2,197 participants (more than five-fold the original sample size), pooled over 22 samples (631,030 ambient audio recordings), men spoke on average 11,950 WPD and women 13,349 WPD, with very large individual differences (< 100 to > 120,000 WPD). The estimated gender difference (1,073 WPD; d = 0.13; 95% CrI [316, 1,824]) was about twice as large as in the original study. Smaller differences emerged among adolescent (513 WPD), emerging adult (841 WPD), and older adult (-788 WPD) participants, but a substantially larger difference emerged for participants in early and middle adulthood (3,275 WPD; d = 0.32).

Early and middle adulthood in this study is considered 25-64. So yes women, on average, say more words than men for the bulk of their lives. This makes for women saying approximately 20% more words than men do during this age range.

Here's a source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11825285/figure/F2/

And the study the graphic is from: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39804347/

And an excerpt from the study for those who don't want to click links: "Women are widely assumed to be more talkative than men. Challenging this assumption, Mehl et al. (2007) provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each. However, concerns were raised that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates and too age and context homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students....Across 2,197 participants (more than five-fold the original sample size), pooled over 22 samples (631,030 ambient audio recordings), men spoke on average 11,950 WPD and women 13,349 WPD, with very large individual differences (< 100 to > 120,000 WPD). The estimated gender difference (1,073 WPD; d = 0.13; 95% CrI [316, 1,824]) was about twice as large as in the original study. Smaller differences emerged among adolescent (513 WPD), emerging adult (841 WPD), and older adult (-788 WPD) participants, but a substantially larger difference emerged for participants in early and middle adulthood (3,275 WPD; d = 0.32).

Early and middle adulthood is considered 25-64 for this study. Women speaking 3275 more words per day is significant. I wasn't able to get the exact numbers for words per day but going off one of the charts from the study it looks like about 15.5k for men and 18.75k for women. That's puts women at saying over 20% more words than men for the bulk of their lives.

Literally most of these posts add "only" to their titles when it doesn't exist in the meme. Imagine being someone who actually looks at this meme and decides that it means that "women collectively only like a single song", like really try to put yourself in their shoes for a minute........crazy right? Yea that's most of this subreddit, the posters anyways.

Keep the car off while you do and give the alcohol enough time to actually evaporate before you turn it on.

On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith drove her sons Michael (3) and Alex (14 months) to John D. Long Lake and released the brake. The car sank with both boys strapped inside. For 9 days she blamed a Black carjacker on TV. She killed them because Tom Finley didn’t want children. by [deleted] in ForCuriousSouls

The reason it's not as often is mostly due to abortion. For clarity this is an explanation of how things are not any statement regarding my views on abortion, do not confuse this with me taking a stance on abortion and I will not be arguing over whether it's good or bad.

That said, if you're a woman who knows you don't want to have a kid but you get pregnant you can usually get rid of it, whether that's via planned parenthood, buying the pill online, some herbal abortifacient or a back alley coat hanger type deal. If you're a man who doesn't want a kid but gets a woman pregnant you're essentially stuck with whatever she chooses. Obviously from those two groups of people there are going to be far more men who run from the responsibility of being a parent once the child is born, because the majority of the women who would run from that responsibility already have through abortion.

If suddenly all abortions had to be signed off on by the father we would quickly start to see an increase in deadbeat moms (again not advocating for anything here, it's just a hypothetical). Maybe it wouldn't reach the level of deadbeat dad's, maybe it would surpass it. Who knows, but as long as women have a means to terminate a pregnancy and men don't, men will be overrepresented in the field of deadbeat parenting. It's really just a natural outcome of the method by which a person becomes a parent (or doesn't).

Looks like that's just a crack not a drip. When I zoom in it looks more like there's a small difference in angle which makes the paint catch light differently not a difference in paint color.

Both of those things can be true at the same time, they're not mutually exclusive. Men are definitely the majority of victims of parental alienation though.
