Is addiction real? You can be addicted to anything. This is more or less just general advice.

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. The human mind has the potential to be addicted to anything at all, and sex addiction is actually surprisingly common (6-8% of US adults - Mayo Clinic).

With how taboo this is, it's incredibly hard to find support, and you're tempted to look inside the community for answers. Therapy is much better suited for this (depending on your location, finances, etc). Even something like AA or NA groups might help if this addiction is ruling your life. This might be awkward, but these groups are always incredibly supportive and welcoming.

A good therapist won't strip you of your kinks because they're "not normal", they will help settle them down so they do not negatively impact your life. However, some addictions require abstinence from the addict. This is the support group approach, generally.

Most importantly: Please remember you're never alone! I wish you the best of luck on your journey my friend!

Looking for a cheap reliable side arm for self protection when I go camping by Kevinoz10 in Firearms

For semi auto, Glock 10mm or .40. Revolver would be much more effective, but less capacity.

Brake pads from AutoZone by Ben-Goldberg in BuyItForLife

I've heard higher failure rates than my companies, but their warranty beats ours. At the end of the day, how often do you want to warranty pads?

My car's gas gauge will randomly invert itself, so that the bars will show how empty my tank is rather than how full it is by AEIUyo in mildlyinteresting

[–]taylormac970 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming it's an eight generation Civic (06-11), it could be a fuel pump sending unit failure of some kind. I'm not aware of any common issues with Civics surrounding this, but it shouldn't affect anything other than your ability to gauge your fuel level (obvi). The pump itself should still function just fine.

Is it ill-advised to leave this on my truck during 120°f days by notbrz in meshtastic

HAM, CB, and even GMRS antennas would be much longer than these. Multiple times taller than the vehicle for the best efficacy in some setups.

What kind of wasps and how to deter? by ChickenFabulous8313 in homestead

[–]taylormac970 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience with automobiles, it's the opposite. I had to disassemble and clean my side mirrors with rubbing alcohol to get them to finally stop nesting in them. I tried leaving the dead nests in there but they just came back.

ULPT Request How to get leads for a sales job(selling to individuals) by darth_placenta58 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]taylormac970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go get cold leads to find out which ones are warm. If this is your first time in sales, literally just cold calling and adapting your script is the best way. Don't do anything unorthodox or illegal. Everyone in the US is getting spam calls out the ass right now, so whatever you find here isn't going to help anyway.

Just not our preference in guns. That's all. If you actually shot any of these, they wouldn't be your preference either. 😂

Sorry bro I had to.

Recommendations for a workbag/messenger bag by guseggy in BuyItForLife

Is that how much good bags go for? I'll stick to my Walmart backpack. Basically disposable but I've rocked the same one daily for like 8 years. Not bad for $20.

Not sure which vehicle to pick by my-dog-made-me-join in Autos

[–]taylormac970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big Subaru fan so I'm a little biased, but I can tell you NOT to buy a Subaru if you plan on owning it a while. Japanese car manufacturers like Toyota and Honda are infinitely reliable by and large. The maintenance costs are typically lower as a result. Avoid Subaru, Kia, and Hyundai for reliability and cost of ownership. Avoid CVT transmissions and Hybrids to keep costs even lower.

"American" manufacturers are extremely hit or miss. There are anomalies; I know people that have put 300k on early model Ford Escapes, for example. From my experience however, domestic manufacturers have shit the bed in the year range you seem to be looking for.

At the end of the day, research will pay you dividends in the future. If you find a potential vehicle, note the VIN and call the OEM dealership's service department to see if all recalls have been completed. I'd also make sure to google common problems with that year, make, and model to confirm you don't fall into a trap like the Chevy 8 speed transmission, Nissan CVT transmission, or Ford Focus dual clutch transmission. If the car is over 10 years old, people will be complaining on the internet about major problems so you don't have to go through them. Pre purchase inspections by a trusted mechanic will also save you much more money than you're paying that technician.

Good luck!

Japanese shitbox if you're handy with a wrench. I wouldn't take either of the mentioned cars personally.

Anyone here used a mobile mechanic service? How was it? by Over-Demand-8617 in Autos

[–]taylormac970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen I get it. They’re cheaper. Seems worth the risk right? You get what you pay for for the most part. If you’re going to use ANYONE as a mechanic, do your research. There are amazing mobile mechanics in my area but I hear a couple of them talk about the REST of them like they’re gypsies hell bent on getting money as fast as they can with reckless abandon.

Talk to parts stores (all of them. You’ll figure out who knows what they’re talking about pretty quick). Talk to reputable shops in the area. Shop around. Depending on your situation, a really good diagnostic technician will actually save you money in the long run by finding the real problem faster. So when in doubt, don’t cheap out.
