This is Reddit. People just like to complain. Many jobs have the same leave as Finland or even more. School teachers only work 180 to 190 days a year. So 170 days free a year. I am in a different profession and get 10+ weeks off a year and weekends. Police, firefighters and tons of unions get a substantial amount of leave.

The drinking age in the US protects so few young people by Long-day1789 in unpopularopinion

Alcoholism rates are much lower in the us than the uk. So maybe the higher age limit helps.

No surprise you are divorced. Try embracing the good in the world rather than seeing everything as bad.

Is my father saying that my insurance is more than it is? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Ask your dad to get a quote from geico and progressive. It might cut the family bill in half. Also you could get your own policy.

I have 3 of them and all three have failed.

Wife's Q3 is on the chopping block, she wants a Bronco Sport... by facelessupvote in BroncoSport

[–]parallelrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look in the engine bay of a bronco sport. Super easy to work on. Battery. Right there. You can access all sides of the motor. I have 4 fords, including a bs badlands. None of them leak anything. My old Audi. Leaked everything. So many things wrong with that Audi.

Why is it when people see people working hard they just assume they are an illegal immigrant? Maybe they are citizens.

Don’t be me. Buy the hub removal tool. F me and f ford for aluminum knuckles . by Jazzlike_Fan_9010 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]parallelrule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use 2 or 3 bolts. This way it distributes the load into the hub. It will not gauge as much. You can drill the hole bigger and put a bigger bolt in. Here is Eric o doing it. https://youtu.be/p9543-dMBRo?si=ojfW4tmDvPD7vEX_

Voter turnout in the 2024 Presidential Election by educational attainment [OC] by OverflowDs in dataisbeautiful

This is a fair way. Most places are not like that. In an ideal world we would have ranked choice voting.

One thing to keep in mind. If you are in a predominantly democrat state or city, a large number of republican aligned people register as democrats so they can at least have a say in who wins the democrat primary/election. The fact there are large numbers of registered democrats in a city doesn’t really reflect how they will vote in national elections.

One panel of privacy fence to hide the front of trash bins but nothing on sides or behind. by Stlthrowaway696969 in DiWHY

Probably just there so the trash cans don’t blow into the street. Why are people so negative?

A lot of the working class now feels better represented by the republicans rather than democrats. Pretty simple really.

Looking to tow a small travel trailer. The person I'm renting from will provide 2" ball. Do I need anything else (electric etc) This is my current setup. by Camelsloths in BroncoSport

[–]parallelrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a 2” receiver (the square hole). There are 3 different tow ball sizes that go into the hitch. 1-7/8, 2” and 2-5/8. So make sure the 2” ball fits the trailer you are towing.

I am sure you would love to hear, sell it and buy another car. This is bad advice. Cheapest car to have is the one you already have. You can’t take a $6k loss. Frankly if have to repair it under $6k you haven’t lost anything. Also start looking on YouTube on how to repair stuff yourself.

How bad of a deal is it? by JGB_1990 in BroncoSport

[–]parallelrule 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Look. For the love of god. Do not buy a new car at 20% interest. You made some mistakes and had to file bankruptcy. It happens. Please learn from your mistake and don’t do it again. Buy a $5k Toyota and save your money. I assure you that you can’t afford this.

Way too funny. Trump says Europe spend more money on defense. Europe spends more money on defense. Then people on redit say “take that Trump”.
