  Did you talk to the insurance adjuster to increase their payout?

  What they first offer you is just that, an offer. You can absolutely come back and say fuck off the car is worth more you just need to be able to provide proof.

  They try and pay as little as possible. Never take their first offer.

  My car was totaled recently. Fucking loved that car. They first offered me 19k for it. I found similar cars for sale for 24k. Same year. Same trim, close miles. They argued that what I see is the listing price not what they actually sold for.

  I told them to fuck off 19k will not buy me a replacement and if they can find me a similar car that a dealer will actually sell for 19k locally I will take the 19k. Took them a week to come back to me and they offered me 22k. I told them I just put new tires on the car and gave receipts from a month ago. They upped it to 23k. +Tax and title.

  Point is, it’s a nagitiation. They will try and screw you if they can. Don’t let them

  Also. They owe you for taxes. That’s IN ADDITION to the value of the car. So if they say the car is 20k according to them. Make sure you are getting roughly 21.5k from them.

  You are not wrong to not care about sex and romantic relationships. If that is how you are happy. And I mean truly happy. Not lying to yourself because the grapes are sour anyways. Then there is nothing wrong with it. We are all wired In different way and enjoy different things.

  Having said that, you are the minority.

  Humans by design seek sex and romantic intimacy. The vast majority of people place a lot of importance on it. It’s not just about the physical act or the pleasure of it, it’s the intimacy, the trust, the closeness. It’s being able to be truly exposed and vulnerable, and having your partner be just as exposed and vulnerable. It’s being able to give pleasure and accept pleasure. Our brains become flooded with feel good chemicals. Humans are typically wired to want sex.

  My point is, no one should judge you or look down on you for living the way you want. Some people will, but they are ass hats and you should ignore them. But In the same way you should understand that most people get A LOT out of sex, especially good sex.

  Older dudes can absolutely get younger girls. However, they are mostly going to fall into 2 categories. Serious emotional/psychological issues. Or looking for a sugar daddy without as much stigma.

  If you are in great shape, have a good personality and a good job, then at 40 you can still pull girls in their 20s without to much trouble. If you let yourself go, and have nothing to show for your age then it will be a lot harder.

  The better question is why would you want to? What would you even talk to them about?

  That’s a wild take. Everything is subject to change when you change political leaders. A single person, the president, can’t do THAT much on their own. But when they have a large portion of the government in their pocket and a huge number or rabid fans, then yes. Everything can change.
