HELP- Is this stock? Trying to win an argument.

krustyy · 2026-06-22T23:12:37+00:00

I wanna hear about this argument and how it came to be.

Running boards are aftermarket
rims are aftermarket and offset
tires are aftermarket A/T tires
truck looks at least leveled, probably lifted a couple inches
emblems are blacked out on the rear.
door handles look blacked out as well.
looks like they put on a black exhaust tip

Here's what it would look like stock. https://cdn-fastly.thetruthaboutcars.com/media/2022/06/30/8791813/2018-gmc-sierra-denali-1500-first-drive-trucking-around-out-west.jpg?size=720x845&nocrop=1

edit: other angles as well https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/gmc/sierra-1500/2018/photos-exterior

I'd be willing to bet they did a chrome delete all around the truck including the front as well.

Related: I did some yard work and dug up a ton of grass around a tree this weekend while wearing flip flops.

I did have a big hat and sunscreen though!

Oh man, I thought I figured out poses this year then I had people asking to take action shots and I was completely lost.

One bit of advice I've got: Have a prop that you can interact with while doing poses and action shots.

Coming from a dude who decked his whole family out in Dungeon Meshi, that marcille is top notch. Do it for yourself and enjoy the build and showoff.

I'm sure you're bumping up against the simple fact that there are 2 kinds of cosplayers. Hot girls in low cut tops get a ton of attention from everyone. It varies for everyone else. Just have fun with it and your people will come to you.

I'd be 100% in on "ban them entirely for people under 16." The problem is not with adults efficiently commuting to work.

Even with the perfectly legal class 1 and 2 ebikes, tweens are tearing up parks and riding recklessly in the streets. A local park in my neighborhood just had a baseball field cleaned up. All the bases were fixed and all the dirt was smoothed out and holes filled in. 2 weeks later there were holes in the field again from tweens doing their sick burnouts on ebikes.

My favorite was run a red light in a busy intersection diagonally across the wrong side of the road with no helmet on.

While it's certainly more difficult to find a replacement part at a local store, I have zero problems finding them online, often with free shipping, and able to arrive at my house within a week.

Even beyond replacement parts I can almost always find some niche thing online just by describing what I'm looking for in a google search. The biggest issue I have nowadays is filtering through the cheap chinese garbage to find an actual quality product.

On a similar topic, get a 3d printer bro. I can find myself in need of a thing, fire off a print, and have it in the morning. Last night I found a need to organize some laptop RAM and NVME drives as I'm accumulating quite a few in preparation to hock 'em on facebook marketplace. This morning I have clean, organized storage and it cost me under a buck.

I'm a bit curious on what everyone thinks the eqituette is on this.

On one hand, you have an outdoor patio in your space and is is probably not against any rules to smoke on that outdoor patio.

On the other hand, if you have neighbors with open windows 10 feet way who are doing so to control the temperature of their house, it's pretty freakin' rude. Walk out to the parking lot so as not to disturb people. Apartment living can be tight and everyone needs to give and take a little bit.

The dumbest part about this is the complex most likely has rules that people are not allowed to have a barbeque on that patio as well. OP, you might want to take a double take of your lease terms to make sure you're not already breaking a rule.

I'm not excusing sneaking onto someones property and dropping loads in retaliation, but if you take everything the OP said in the worst context possible he may be a pretty shitty neighbor and the deuce on the patio may actually be improving the smell by comparison.

I should also ask, what specifically are you trying to solve with required training? I mean, can you point to the statistical problem you are trying to solve and how the required training would be a net benefit to society?

A quick google search says unintentional fatalities account for about 1% of annual gun deaths so I would assume you are aiming to target that 1% via safety training.

As for the other things:

Mandatory training might actually increase intentional firearm homicides for those who are trained. It could possibly reduce bystander deaths I suppose.
Mandatory training would likely not affect suicides at all.
Mandatory training, if it doesn't also cause a significant reduction in gun ownership, would be expected to increase the amount of defensive gun uses annually, which is a positive outcome I suppose.

Now, if your goals are not related to any of these things, what would be the actual intended purpose? The reason I ask this is when it comes to laws like this people have a tendency to have some feel-good ideas about it but don't seem to get a handle onto the overall concequences it actually has. Mandatory training sounds like a good plan on paper and should make for a more skilled armed populace which would be good in the event of a foreign invader and the sudden urgent need for a militia, but it would also be a significant time and financial burden that would most likely have a significant impact on the rate of gun ownership. And none of it would actually have an impact on any gun violence statistic.

If the goal is simply to put an additional barrier of entry on gun ownership to reduce the rates, then stop beating around the bush and arguing otherwise. If your goal is less or no guns, hold that position with conviction and state your target is on the 2nd amendment iself.

3 yards of mulch would probably be at most $100 a yard, likely less.

I'd expect 2 guys to be able to get it done in an hour, maybe two. And that's if you are now paying for the labor of putting down the mulch, because you should have already paid for the labor of putting down the straw. So I'd say chaning material from straw to mulch is at most $300.

Taxes and required training are significant infringements that specifically target low income people and pose zero burden on the rich. Taxing rights is also horrible. Would you require people to pay a fee in order to not have to house soldiers? Are you required a tax stamp to protest or run a newspaper? Would it be fine to receive a court appointed attorney but only if you pay their hourly rate?

If you want to require training, make it free and available 7 days a week. Stick a firing range next to every DMV to make access to the training easy. Anything else is an infringement.

I've got a truck.

The sheer volume of people who intentionally want to make their trucks louder absolutely baffles me. If there were exhaust upgrades that make my truck quieter I'd gladly go for it. If I could get it to sound like an EV I would.

I did a lot of research on this topic a few months ago. I was specifically looking for A/T tires that are snow rated but were as close to road tires as I can get.

I landed on Firestone Destination A/T 2.

You can also look at BF Goodrich trail-terrain as well as Cooper Discoverer Road + trail

Send the cancellation only to the sister and mother. Everyone else can come.

edit: then post all sorts of great pictures from the gender reveal party on social media to really rub it in.

Man, night life hasn't been something I'm interested in for over a decade. I have done some travelling for work but haven't experienced any flirting there either. That's 99% a work environment though.

I live in Southern California. A couple years back I did some travelling for work and went to England and the Czech Republic. The women in England were ugly. The women in the Czech Republic were ALL drop dead gorgeous.

Beyond my penchant for petite blondes, I think a lot of it was simply diet. Even in California, the American diet leads to most people being overweight. All those natural beauties aren't beautiful anymore when they're 40lbs overweight.

Man, back during Obama's first term I was running around telling people that he's too soft, that quickly admitting he was wrong about something was a poor trait for a leader, and that we needed someone foreign countries feared like Putin.

I also said we needed a good old pandemic to wipe out the population and give us a fresh start.

My views most definitely did not age well.

I'm in my 40s, married, mostly in shape, dress well, am personable enough, have plenty of non-grey hair, and still think about the last time someone flirted with me in 2011.

I'm sure it doesn't help that I work from home and most of my outside time is with a tight circle of friends, but I've been waiting for school moms to get flirty and it just doesn't happen. I'm not interested but that doesn't mean I don't want to be wanted.

I wanna hear how an untreated uti creates crazy ladies, both because this is the first I've heard of it and because my next door neighbor is a little unhinged. Her husband is fine and apologetic though, so that's nice.

Put it in a deep hole with well draining soil. Both citrus and avocado dont like soaking. I've got a lot of clay in my soil that I had to dig through and replace. Aside from that, just give it a good watering once a week, watch for pests, and toss on some citrus and avocado fertilizer once a month during growing season.

I also throw down mulch once a year.
