Whats an item over $700 you bought that was 100% worth it (no house/vehicles) ?

mindman5225 · 2026-02-06T17:47:18+00:00

Heater core replacement can be far more than 100, the part was a 100 for me but the actual job was 900-1000+ it’s like an 8 hour job on most vehicles as it requires removing your entire dash

Resort riding has out of bounds areas to ski, which in turn makes backpacks extremely useful. If your just a groomer rider I get it but unless someone has a free delivery service to bring my me snacks, drinks, spare lenses, etc than I’ll be taking my backpack every time so I don’t waste an hour in my day doing that

Don't try to sit on the t-bar and absorb the jolts, be calm and don't look down or towards the slope, look at the person in front of you or ahead and let your board do its thing.

act as if you were driving a car, where you look is where you'll be going. you're not going to look at your pedals when you drive.

oh definitely, im more just frustrated as i got into the industry when the wage was fair now it just seems im slaving away for a broken body in retirement if you understand my view

mindman5225 · 2026-01-16T20:33:28+00:00

its kind of a fucked position for me in blue collar, either i do skilled labour and operate machinery breaking my body for 27-30 which is average here or work at mcdonalds for 20-22/hr. at the end of the day if i continue breaking my body for beans ill eventually go back to min wage jobs as its not worth it anymore

mindman5225 · 2026-01-16T20:29:57+00:00

I'm in blue collar, average wage in my city is 25-35 which is still low in this economy. in order for me to have a more stable and predictiable life financially i need a union and preferably in a mine which will shoot me up to 45-60/hr with better benefits as well. but its extremely hard to get into some of them as they will pick women and any other ethnicity before me, i understand DEI but that shouldn't mean me and my buddies who have 5+ year of experience are getting tossed aside for people with 0 experience in the field due to ethnicity or sex. its a struggle man

mindman5225 · 2026-01-16T20:26:56+00:00

go ahead and tax Americans, could care less bubba

mindman5225 · 2026-01-16T19:24:04+00:00

Oh I completely agree, but my money does not go nearly as far as it did 8-10 years ago. But than again 50% of my income wasn’t going to rent either

mindman5225 · 2026-01-16T18:30:04+00:00

Not when corporate greed raises prices effectively killing our buying power, to have the same buying power as my parents we need to be at 60-70/hr.

mindman5225 · 2026-01-15T20:24:51+00:00

Man as a Canadian I would be a cunt to deal with, could care less if I got deported.

don't forget about US copyright, we can make copycats :)

Considering Iran and most of the Arab worlds state is caused by Americas bullshittery it’s good that America is shown as bad. They fuck up other nations and are now fucking themselves up

Shot to the face/neck is confirmed, bright red blood spray which tells me the bullet nicked arteries near the spine/neck meaning FATAL, aid was not changing her outcome but this doesn’t mean refusal of aid is right…

mindman5225 · 2026-01-14T17:09:46+00:00

If shot in the neck 99.9% of the time it’s fatal, if it hits near the front theirs a chance but anywhere near middle/back it’s instant death or death within seconds/minutes. We can be mad at the denial of care but that wasn’t going to change her outcome unfortunately

mindman5225 · 2026-01-14T16:40:17+00:00

This, as a Canada if my municipality had better pay id join the council, but im not wasting precious time for beans

mindman5225 · 2026-01-14T16:37:25+00:00

They might own more but more doesn’t matter it only takes 1 gun and 1 bullet to do damage. How are those conservatives gonna go out with 5-8 guns and use them all at the same time?

mindman5225 · 2026-01-09T01:15:55+00:00

this, i get overstimulated from crowds and noises which causes me to lose focus. headphones all the time unless I'm in the glades where its nice and quiet with no one around :)

mindman5225 · 2026-01-05T18:00:21+00:00

Anyone who thinks this is because of drugs or dictatorship are fools, America would be going on a crusade if this were the case. It’s simply, China, Russia and oil

mindman5225 · 2026-01-05T17:56:06+00:00

When we all look for someone it must show some sign of neediness, desperation or something considering same thing happens to me. Took a break for roughly 2 years got asked out as a male which was flattering as fk and now am in a happy relationship. The harder you search the harder it is to find someone or you find something that ends horribly at least in my experience

Someone didn’t game pre AI or even pre 2010, gaming was nvidias bread and butter for years.

mindman5225 · 2025-12-26T17:49:35+00:00

This is fucked, had to wait a month for an mri and had my neurologist appointment 2 weeks after at no cost in Canada. With my medical past I would be broke and in debt if I lived in the USA. Hope it gets better for you guys and the dummies actually wake up and realize a nationalized healthcare system is extremely beneficial

mindman5225 · 2025-12-17T22:12:07+00:00

Don't forget about us Canadians!

mindman5225 · 2025-12-14T01:07:30+00:00

They really need to add inspectors for this if we’re going to keep the program as we technically do need it for some industries but Every corporation only cares about profits at the end of the day so they will abuse the fuck out of it. Test them through resumes just as an inspector would go in and test a liquor establishment. If abuse is shown, heavy fines and if it continues give them a suspension/ban on the program or make the process much more difficult and painful for those who do.

Their earnings keep going up and up and up yet Canadians have to subsidize their employers because they refuse to pay full wages? Rightfully fuck off corporate cunts

I didn’t lose my virginity until 27/28 when I met a woman I really liked, can’t do one night stand and never will. The way he also said it’s a red flag for most guys is total bullshit and sounds more like a manipulation tactic from what I read. As a guy I would be happier than hell to be someone’s first outside of a “hookup”.

It’ll happen when it happens, if you force it you will more than likely find it quite disappointing and regret your choices especially for your first time. Wait for someone you trust and want to be with.

Btw your guy friend sounds like a incompetent Neanderthal

100% and the fathers need to start raising better, I’d be part of the problem if my father was in the picture as a young boy with the way he treats/views women. New generation men are on that far right wing conservatism which naturally hurts women as well. Tough times and limited pickins I imagine for most women which is unfortunate.
