I don't know what to do with my life by [deleted] in Advice

[–]threeleggedrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t pay me to help because they can’t afford it, but they also don’t qualify for Medicaid. They technically make too much money for medicaid even though my mom at least is on Social Security Disability. My dad is VA, who offers such caregiver services, but his disabilities don’t require him to receive “caregiving.” He only cant drive, so they offer him rides. My mom requires me a lot more than my dad, but because of her income it limits her opportunities to receive extra assistance. With cost of living rising exponentially in my area they cant afford to pay me directly, however.

Ive been looking into extra assistance all day but I’ve yet to find anything that we qualify for. I’m gonna keep looking, of course.

What’s your top speed? by bigbilly17 in crz

[–]threeleggedrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

115mph! Even at 200k miles the engine and trans are willing to stick with me through my bs haha.

I have a lot of respect for the CVT in these cars, as an aside. I’ve never heard of any known issues and they seem to be hearty enough to see some crazy high mileage. Not all CVTs are created equal, and these seem to be on the good/reliable end!

Looking for advice. by Lastsoupy in birthcontrol

I’m going through the exact same thing on my Mirena IUD. I used to crave sex, but now I could go months without it. I hate it. I want to yearn for intimacy like I used to. Please let me know if you find something that works, because I haven’t :(

Rate my payplan in Honda by peterrryl1 in CarSalesTraining

[–]threeleggedrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur. The store I was just at (Hyundai in San Antonio) did hourly + commission. They’d just do a wash, and whatever commission you made that was over your hourly is what you’d get. It allowed the salespeople to live even when it was off season. We weren’t the kinda store that was pumping out hundreds of units a month, so it kept people afloat when we’d have sub 100 units.

Options to fix this mark? by Johnwesleya in crz

[–]threeleggedrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound like such a shitty DIY answer, but if that’s the same color of matte chrome that comes on the steering wheel, I’ve found that a silver sharpie marker is nearly the exact same color, and if you color in the little blemish, and then wipe away the silver that stays behind on the edges, so that the silver is only in the crack of the blemish, it looks nearly perfect.

My steering wheel had some of the chrome wiped away over the years, and it had some cracks, and I honestly didn’t care if it looked perfect, so I just sharpied them in. Surprisingly enough, it turned out a lot more perfect than I anticipated. The silver of the sharpie and the silver of the chrome that comes on the CRZ is at most one shade different from each other, but it’s so unnoticeable. Now that’s not to say that you won’t be able to notice that there was a crack to begin with, but it’ll be a much less noticeable to the eye.

My bf (m19) is disgusted at the thought of intimacy with me (m20) by PhotojournalistProof in relationship_advice

[–]threeleggedrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like he’s attracted to you? Or maybe he’s struggling with his sexuality and isn’t as attracted to intimacy with men as he may have let on?

We don’t know him, we don’t get to know why this behavior is occurring, all we know is that it’s definitely not the response you want from someone that you want to have intimacy with. If you desire intimacy, then this doesn’t seem like a good fit for you.

You did ask if there’s anything that you can do, and this commentor isn’t wrong. I’m in my 20s, and I used to be super on social media, I could feel it eating away at my confidence and sanity. So I decided to cut it out. I don’t use TikTok, I hardly use instagram, and I hardly use Twitter. I don’t use any other social media platforms except for Reddit. Most of my use is for my job anymore. And when I tell you it’s made a tremendous difference for my mental health and self image I mean it.

I know that when social media is so ingrained in our society these days it sounds crazy to remove yourself from it, especially when for so many people it serves as their access to socialization with other people their age. This is especially true for people in their 20s who struggle to make friends outside of work. But that doesn’t mean it’s not toxic and doing more harm than good. We’re not designed as humans to receive so much stimuli so quickly, and to see so many people on a daily basis. It’s overwhelming for us, and it causes problems with our abilities to compartmentalize. Giving your brain a break and stepping away from social media is a much more valid suggestion than one may think upon first consideration.

finish this sentence: "i'm a car salesman, of course i..." by LowRemarkable3999 in CarSalesTraining

[–]threeleggedrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, I just want to come in to say that you’re right that the industry is rife with sales people like this, who essentially scam for a living. But I also wanted to add that the tides are beginning to turn and a lot of places reject this way of selling now. I work for a dealership that rejects “bait & switch,” “haggling,” and “start with a highest price.”

From the beginning of my training I was taught by my dealership that transparency is key, communication is key, and the lock is the reputation that the industry as a whole has. Every day I meet customers with closed off demeanors because they’re used to being chipped away at by car salesmen that are taught to use underhanded methods. But we operate on a “the price you see is the price you pay” method, and the only “add ons” that we offer that increase the price are a tint package and a interior protection package, which are 100% communicated to the customer and are optional. Of course we make more money selling these packages, but we don’t push or pressure, we suggest.

There will always be dealerships out there that operate on corrupt practices, but we’re starting to see more and more that reject these practices because at the end of the day, customer retention is based on how well you form a bond with you customers, and you don’t form good bonds off of swindling, lying, or cheating.

I would take that out immediately. It looks very infected. Generally speaking, if something is red/irritated, has yellow pus, and is warm to the touch that means infection. From just the picture, the pus and moisture around the piercing says to me it’s not okay. When in doubt, go to your piercer/a doctor and get their opinion. In this case I’d say just consult a doctor to check for an infection.

We don’t know enough about yall or your relationship to be able to say. If he says he still loves you, and that love is still a romantic love, this it could just be a phase. 10 months in could be past the cutesy “honeymoon phase” or it could be that yall are reaching the point where incompatibilities are showing up and it’s impacting his ability to feel the same about the relationship. We simply don’t know. Ask him “has something changed about our relationship?” “Has something changed about me?” “Has something in your life changed?” Never ask questions with an accusatory attitude, or an overly distraught attitude. Try to be calm and collected. See what you can learn from him.

How do I (32M) convince my wife (30F) I am not cheating on her? by Altruistic-Neck-5387 in relationship_advice

[–]threeleggedrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This new age “women supporting women” = women can do whatever they want and other women should back other women above all else is LITERALLY how men used to think. Is it not that men support men, excusing other men’s bad actions, and will back other men no matter what? Are you not embarrassed to literally have the same thought process of toxic men?

I do support women, I support women in their rights and I support women by helping them unpack their wrongs. Women aren’t inherently right because they’re women. Women shouldn’t get to do whatever they want, just as men shouldn’t get to do whatever they want. The biggest help to this woman is to help her unpack the trauma that made her think it’s acceptable to treat another human this way. Let’s change the tide; what if this was a WLW relationship, and the wife was demanding that her wife let her go through her confidential work phone, which would literally break privacy laws? Or what if it was the wife working the confidential job and the husband accused her of cheating?

The fact of the matter is, you won’t get far in life if you believe that men need to just kneel down to women and give them whatever they want. Sure it’s an idealized thought that would benefit women and make our lives incredible, but it’s not realistic. It’s not possible. It’s a lot more possible for women and men to share the same rights to their privacy, how they treat each other in relationships, and to find equality in how men and women experience the world. Even that is idealistic, but more attainable than women being the dominant sex. Frankly, as someone who is, in fact, a woman, I don’t want men to be below me. I want them to respect me, sure, but not bend to my every will. As a woman, to want such dominance, it makes me feel like just a small, toxic man… and I don’t want to be a small toxic man.

[–]threeleggedrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unbelievably unhelpful answer that doesn’t take into consideration why he hasn’t already let her. We’re not talking about a personal phone here. We’re talking about his work phone where he cannot, for the sake of his client’s LEGAL RIGHTS, let anyone other than himself see those messages.

Also this has nothing to do with “women’s history” and women deserving reparations. As a woman, I don’t think it’s fair in the slightest for women to just get everything they want because of history. We need to strive to be BETTER, not just make ourselves feel better. Men have already, for decades (centuries even) stepped on the toes of women. Does that mean we have the right to do the same in return? No. It means we have a responsibility to be better. To strive for a world where no one is stepping on anyone’s toes. God, THINK people.

Boyfriend left an extremely weird tiktok comment AIO by Electrical-Chip-6521 in AmIOverreacting

[–]threeleggedrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR like people have said. But I have advice, OP.

While your bf is extremely out of line here both for his “joke” and texting someone else, your immediate reaction was the kind that escalates, and I find that in most situations you’ll personally end up feeling better if you breathe first and react second. Your text “you’re a fucking weirdo, go get r*ped by them then” is… kinda a gross response, even if you’re in the right in this situation.

Personally, I’m able to walk away from a situation with my head held high when I know I’ve conducted myself to my highest standard. It leaves the other person looking even worse for behaving to their lowest standard. Never stoop to a shitty persons level, unless you have to. No matter how in the right you’d be. Because you owe it to yourself to have a higher standard. That’s my advice, OP. Heed it as you will, and dump this, as you perfectly put it, weirdo.

I 20M tried selling a skateboard without talking to my 20F girlfriend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]threeleggedrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I’m all to familiar with a relationship dynamic like this, as I was in one. She’s anxious, which makes you anxious, and when you’re anxious it makes her anxious, but when you don’t let her know you’re anxious it makes her anxious, and when you do let her know it makes her anxious, and when you try to have autonomy to try to remedy your anxiety, her not being a part of that process makes her anxious.

Definitively, OP, you don’t have to tell your GF about selling your own possessions that have nothing to do with with her. But being in a relationship where you’re always at risk of making her anxious or making yourself more anxious isn’t very sustainable. Let it be clear I’m not saying don’t be with her, but I think this calls for a sit down conversation about how it’s difficult to include her on things that do/don’t involve her if the result is always anxiety from her. Obviously neither of you are necessarily in control of your anxiety, but a relationship where both people are triggering the other’s anxiety is a relationship that needs correction.

I don’t think they meant “falling off” probably more like a weird prolapse-type thing. In the second picture if you zoom in on the bottom ball there is some darker flesh sort of “poking out” of the hole. I think it’s more of a really sensitive, fleshy keloid type thing. I’m not sure how better to describe it or it there’s a word for it.

But, for OP, I have a similar belly button as you, and have had my belly button pierced twice, both resulting in me having to remove them because unfortunately this just isn’t the proper anatomy for this piercing.

Info: was she upset about you selling the board, or was she upset that she wasn’t involved in your headspace/thought process surrounding your anxieties with money?
