Shout out to the little girl at my store today who had a shirt that said "skeleton mouse" and she was carrying around a plushie of a rat, had hair clips in her hair that had rats on them, and a necklace with a rodent skull on it.

As I was checking her mother out at the register she pulled out a handful of rubber rats from her pocket and put them on my counter, to which her mother sighed and said "no sweetie, he doesn't need rats" to which I just looked at her like this

I had a friend who worked on these in her backyard. From what I understand, the big capacitors are right behind the bevel, so she would take a screwdriver, wrap it with low gauge wire, and stab it into the ground. Then she would take another rubber handled screwdriver and use that to pull it apart and ground the capacitor. Insane person, very fun stories.

Took a while to realize they're all the same guy

Is this... Is this why my girlfriend always says this??

the stranglehold this image has on my brain. every time someone mentions that they're going to the bathroom my reflexive response is always "go piss girl", like saying "bless you" in response to a sneeze

Yeah, that makes sense.

Fascinating. I tagged a post #anti-capitalism like a month ago, got a surge of scam asks, and moved on.

Tagged another one the same way (similar topic, it made sense) and the same thing happened again.

Are people who browse these tags more likely to fall for these? They're clearly bots, and I'm not gonna bother vetting them, seeing as in all likelihood, they lead to a scammers wallet.

Plus, donating to larger charities, as long as they're on the up and up is way more effective in the long-term. I hate my government's complacency for the genocide in Palestine, and if I had more money, more of it would be going towards this, but bigger orgs have the resources to get better deals on supplies, and take the strain off of individuals living through the genocide.

Part of my last job was spotting scams and phishing, and this is definitely it. Sometimes it's fun to investigate where this originates, cause if you're good at it, you can sometimes scrounge up names and places, but this isn't fun. This is sad, that scammers are taking advantage of genocide.

Anyways, I'm gonna take this one anti-capitalism to see if it reaches the same audience. I'm curious to know what other tags these ghouls troll around.

So I have this car, right? It's a project that I've had for like a year and a half. I was driving down a mountain road with my girlfriend when all of a sudden the brakes went out. I remained calm, and was able to use the e-brake to pull over on a gravel patch.

It was a miserable day. And every subsequent day on that car was miserable. Because the brakes had holes in the lines.

My girlfriend lives an hour away from me, so I had to get it towed to her place or else pay a shit ton in towing cost.

I had to replace the brake lines, which, if you don't know, sucks dooky dick. I had a friend help, but it still sucked.

Then I had to test the lines, pressurize them, and bleed all the brakes. This took three weeks and two mental breakdowns.

I was still nervous, even after a test drive, but my partner wanted it GONE (understandable). So I told her my plan for if they went out again. First, pull the e-brake. If that fails, next I would money shift it.

What, you may be asking, is a money shift?

Well you see, it's where you shift your transmission, at speed, into reverse. The transmission then fucking dies and the car grinds to a halt. Most expensive shift you can make. But it would probably save my life.

I told her the code name for this maneuver.

A tranny for a tranny.

I've been on estrogen for a month as of tomorrow, and I'm already feeling changes, best decision of my life, dear God. Like, I've always kinda disliked my body, but this is moving me in the right direction crazy fast. It's not just body it's mind. It's changed the way I process emotions, it's helped my confidence and the way I perceive myself. I'm still imperfect, I get hit with dysphoria really hard sometimes, but I think I have a chance of looking really hot. Like, I'm starting to see something in myself I never thought I would. (I was already fat, and a lot of it was in my tits for some reason, but I think HRT is rounding off my boobs in a way I really love) I took an underboob pic for the first time, and I actually love it.

Anyways, I know trans people are scared, and it's a leap of faith, but I highly recommend. Part of me wants to post some pics, but this account is tied to some others, so I might do it if I cover my face and change my account name mayhaps.

Advice for getting a job sucks. I get two types of advice, they're opposite one another and neither is wrong.

Some people swear by quantity over quality - there are so many applicants, you should apply to as many jobs as possible in order to beat those odds. Sounds advice. This will drain your life force, even if you streamline as much as possible, you'll be scrambling to find ammunition (open positions) for your shotgun method. But the goal with this method is to get your foot in the door. A 1/50 or lower interview rate is fine, cause you're applying to 10-20 jobs a day. Sometimes this advice includes using chatGPT (gross).

The other method is quality over quantity. Find organizations you care about, and put in a lot of effort into your application. Taylor your resume to the description, make cover letters by hand (I have specific advice on this I personally like), take your time answering supplemental questions and the like. This is what I generally do, but this too will kill you. Two applications take hours, they take time, effort and energy. It requires you put your soul into your work, which is as draining as a million no's. Neither is good.

I'm trying to find a happy medium, but my god, it only takes you so far.

Had a very similar conversation with my dad, who's on HRT by the way, and he was saying I'm overreacting. It's not gonna happen. And like, I love him, but he is coping by denying the clear steps the government is taking. It's a thing people do because it's the only way for some people to cope. For me, it's always in the back of my mind, but I push it there so I can continue to live. But God I wish I could take that voice out in a safer world, it would lower my stress a good 10-20% at least a day.

Wicked + Dark souls I could see being fun

[becqthefailednuke]

I could be 100% wrong, this is just a soul read.

But.

But.

I think that if Trump died, JD Vance would be less vitriolic and awful.

Hear me out: Vance is here, through and through for power. His personality, presentation and sense of self are entirely warped around the goal of gaining power. And I'm not so sure he cares about wielding that power. It might just be about having it conceptually. Once he has the presidency, that's it, that's as much work as he needs to do.

But left to his own devices, he doesn't seem to conform or believe in the conservative ideal. His wife is Indian, his book (yes the couch fucking one), while conservative in nature, teeters on social theory. I'm not saying he would be good, but while Trump despises liberals as a rule, I have a feeling Vance could more easily be pulled in both directions.

Not good, but slightly better.

Maybe I'm wrong though. That's possible, he could just be so so so much worse.

It has begun rod knocking. Yay!

I know it sounds like a diesel at first, but that's cause I replaced the fuel tank and the engine was running lean for a few seconds. It evens out pretty good after a sec.

This car has been broken for about a year and a half. It's water pump, fuel tank, and timing belt needed replacement. I also, fun fact, did not have the tools to fix it. So for the past year I've been assembling tools in order to fix it, and finally had a breakthrough today. This shit box is going to my partner, for free, because I got it for free. It is the free car, and if she ever gets rid of it, it's going to someone else for free too. That's just how this car is.

Also I painted the valve cover purple cause I thought it would be fun.
