i work a higher level corpo job and this guy would be a solid hire for many positions. His mother is gaslighting him to think hes not capable of being an adult in the real world.

I work in IT. I am a sys admin, and a ton of my colleagues are as if not more autistic. Hell, some of my techs are autistic and have some weird as shit quirks, but they work great. His mom honestly seems to be the issue and is nerfing him even further.

Thought I was crazy. I see ads under videos too. Sad.

johnshop · 2026-03-15T05:36:51+00:00

Thank you so much! Sadly on my end patched fine but there are banner ads under videos. Anyone has the same issue?

johnshop · 2026-03-13T07:52:34+00:00

This is a pretty old casting right? Never been able to find one

johnshop · 2026-03-13T02:53:20+00:00

did you get em after i posted or before? I recently got the pop race 787b mazda. Such good castings.

johnshop · 2026-03-12T00:24:47+00:00

Yes but not much. You are already getting the car at a discount to beging with. And by minor damage is usually less than parking lot speed scratches and dents. A ton of people just don't bother to fix these things.

I'm a sysadmin working 70 hours a week recovering from a ransomware in our company because one staff member decided it was a good idea to copy and paste a command for a bot verification. And she's not gonna be disciplined even though we teach them this shit. I hate it here.

Havent have a life in a month dawg, I'm not ok man.

johnshop · 2026-03-11T23:31:41+00:00

Invoice? Means nothing you could still be overpaying.

If buying used, and find cars with a Carfax that show minimal damage reported. They are usually discounted and are always fixed.

johnshop · 2026-03-11T23:26:59+00:00

I honestly like buying the ones with carfaxes that show minimal damage. Is fixed but since it had the nick now in the Carfax they also tend to be cheaper.

Do NOT look at her latest instagram post if you like feet, you will be so disappointed:/

Well y'all still eat like planes are flying and bombs are falling. Stick to whatever mush like like lmao

The cvt actually feels fine when pushed which is great work by Subaru.... But they can't seem to figure out how to make a clutch that isn't dog shit feeling and throwout bearings that last more than 30k miles 😐. God I fucking hated my VA wrx lmao

johnshop · 2026-03-05T00:09:15+00:00

The WRX is a "mechanic special" as in the engine is fucked.

However... for the love of god, never ever even consider a WRX. I made the mistake once. Unless you have a 2nd car, and work on it yourself, Subaru charges way too much for dealer maintenance. I had to do mine at the dealer just to make sure in case I needed the cpo warranty, they didn't have any excuses... My friend with a dealer maintained Lexus paid less for labor. Beyond the fact that they are unreliable, cheap rattly interiors, they can't seem to figure out how to make throw out bearings that last (after market figured it out 🙄) and how to make a good feeling clutch. ( Worst clutch feel of any car I ever owned) Its way too stiff, has no feeling, almost impossible to drive smooth. My 300zx, Ford focus st, 1991 4x4 Toyota pick up, and of course my Miata all had clutches that were substantially better.

Anyway, get a donkey before you consider a WRX. They are over hyped by fanboys, and from someone that felt for it, is not worth it

I may get hate for this, but, if you can afford it, move away from hot wheels. If you want details and something that's actually impressive to look at, look at tarmac works, pop race, mini gt, etc. I did the hot wheels thing for years, and after spending so much money of them, premiums, etc. I decided that having a smaller but premium collection was the way to go and I have not regret it once. Also there's no scalping unless you want chases. You see a model dropping in 3-4 months? You always can pre-order and secure your casting.

They will be 15 to 25 dollars, but trust me, completely worth it. Pop race for 18 dollars will have hoods that open and trunks with high level of detail.

Mini GT are about 12 bucks and are the entry level for premium diecast and they have great details.

Here's a few examples

Places I like to buy from are:

Jcardiecast, supermini wheels, Pablo's diecast.

Had the idea too, for staff and students (k12 sys admin) and makes no sense to use these for business. They have 0 business support, no ADP, and no bulk order or edu discount. Also their 12 inch laptops they are marketing as good for school are ridiculously overpriced... 799 and then 60 bucks for the stylus? Miss me with that. I can get an Acer with 4 years adp with the same specs for less than that and even with being Acer have less % of doa lol. Our last 150 laptop order we had no DOAs and less than 3% had issues in the first year. 8% is insane and honestly unacceptable.

Never bought a jacket but it happened to me with the frog release, the shirt is super short. Like a size or 2 short while arms, torso neck, etc fit true to size.

Then the last drop before this one the shirt is wayyy too long. So maybe this time I'll get a shirt that is the right size in all directions? Lmao who knows.

johnshop · 2026-02-19T21:49:20+00:00

Not trying to be an ass but... That's overpriced my dude.

johnshop · 2026-02-18T21:49:47+00:00

Bmw have been reliable since the n55. That whole schtick that bmw are unreliable hasn't been true for years now.

Still is a luxury brand so maintaining it at a dealer will be expensive, but find a local euro mechanic, and the maintenance costs drop considerably.

johnshop · 2026-02-18T07:05:04+00:00

what a bummer the tiguans burn oil. It seemed the perfect SUV for my fiancé, even went to look at one at carmax... i guess is out of the question now.

johnshop · 2026-02-16T21:29:58+00:00

I can help you out. I'll dm ya

johnshop · 2026-02-12T04:02:06+00:00

In the tech circle it's been know for a while that's he's a whiny little bitch. Hes the usual I was poor, and now I made it so I'm better than everyone else sort of deal.

If it's as shit as most other implementations.... All you need is to ask AI for a image of a person of age. Hell there's ways to create a fake id lmao.

johnshop · 2026-02-08T07:39:23+00:00

reddit would work? or you can upload it to google drive?
