I have a Mirage G4. It has a five speed transmission. It does not have internet connectivity, it doesn’t have a touchscreen, it doesn’t have keyless ignition, it doesn’t even have a fourth cylinder. It’s as reliable as a hammer, it still gets me over 40 mpg, and it’s paid for.
Dream vehicle? Any motorcycle. I have one, and I ride it sometimes, but I have a family that cares I’m alive and a lot of you seem to need a phone in your face to drive a car…
I once impulse bought a motorcycle but I can explain why I did that so…
For the purposes of this thread, I think buying a Mini-2 SE drone is the purchase to talk about. I’ve always been interested in radio controlled flying things, and I had the extra money, and it was on sale, so I bought it. I don’t regret it at all, though, because it turned out to be incredibly useful and fun. I had it for a couple of years until two weeks ago, when I flew the poor thing camera-first into a steel beam, which didn’t destroy the drone but put it firmly in the “cheaper and easier to get another drone than to fix this one” territory.
Now I have a license and people pay me to take pictures sometimes.
Along with taking the time to put a box of bullets in the fridge
That’s because they were threatening anyone who made fun of ck being shot.
The one that had the biggest effect on me was getting past the gay=bad nonsense that I was raised with. Which allowed me to come out to my wife as bisexual a while back.
Hope they enjoy the oxide-filled soil and the lack of air.
I still remember redditors telling me with supreme confidence in 2015 that there would be self driving cars in five years, all truckers would be unemployed, and there would be no more traffic accidents.
I bet they don’t remember that though.
The whole situation is hilarious, now. The issue was, his mother also has four other children, younger than my son. None of these children are mine, I’ve never even met them. So of course the first month of No More Support, and she’s blowing my phone up demanding I keep paying because of the other children. Where are their father(s)?
It goes like this nowadays: “Hahah, I fooled these suckers into hiring me”
Someone called me a deadbeat father because I stopped paying child support… On my now-adult child.
we started complaining about our chronic pain and fucked up bodies
100% couple stuff.
I was running a production line. There were different start times for the different parts of the line. The person who was supposed to be catching parts wasn’t at his post, and I’d knew him well enough to know he would be hassling some poor random woman who was just trying to do her job. So I went to the department where you would normally find such people, and there he was talking to some cute blonde woman with expressive eyebrows, adorable nose, and striking green and blue eyes. I told him to get lost. I apologized to the woman for him, and she turned out to be very talkative and friendly toward me. I went back to my area and spent all day trying to forget about her. I went back at the end of the day and asked for her email address.
We have been together for 18 years, married for 16. We have a kid and a small farm. She is the most amazing and caring person I’ve ever personally known and she is married to me.
I asked her once what got her attention that first time I met her. She said that I was the first person who ever stood up for her, the first person who ever stood between her and someone else and said “stop”.
Just decide that anyone with a net worth over a certain amount is a pedo, and if they don’t want to be labeled and hunted as such, they need to publicly denounce the other rich pedos.
I was a kid when all the Maxis “sim” games were out, like SimCity 2000 and SimFarm. What I really wanted at the time was a sim factory. I wanted to set up production lines, figure out material needs, build out logistics. But I figured I would be the only person who had fun with that sort of game.
Then one day around 2014 I’m a grown man poking through the Steam store and I see this simple looking little game about setting up factories and production lines, and I thought it might be entertaining for a bit. But I was wrong. I have never been nerd-sniped as effectively as I was when I first tried Factorio.
Past experience, mostly. My neurons are divergent as well, and anyone who was nice to me could get my trust, which often turned into someone taking advantage of me or backstabbing me.
I’ve always struggled with it, so I’ve learned to ask someone better at character judgement than I.
I used to check with my dog. Then I met my wife and found out over a year how moral she was and how consistently she applied those morals. Now I ask her.
She was a Native American girl who was six days younger than I. (We were 15) She had the deepest dark eyes and long black hair that went to her butt. She showed me all sorts of music I’d never heard before. It was a long time ago, but we got along well. Sadly I did the typical teenager thing and dumped her for someone else. That someone else was a bad fit and I should have stayed with the heavy metal Indian chick. (as she described herself)
THAT will teach you.
I’ve carried a couple of tampons and pads in my car for years, just because sometimes I can save the day for someone. I never thought about using them for earplugs though, that’s a good one.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but like you… Money.
