- Comment on Nobody cares about your fireworks posts... 6 days ago:
I love watching people record fireworks displays.
It demonstrates who hasn’t a brain in their head. Nobody wants to see your shit recording of fireworks, you’re not going to watch it again. The sound includes six nearby people talking about their boring lives and a crying toddler. The video is shaky and wobbly.
- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 1 week ago:
OMG no, no NO!
Baking soda and vinegar mixed together do fucking NOTHING to clean anything! It never has and it never will! You make carbon dioxide gas and sodium acetate. Neither of which do dick for cleaning.
Stop fucking telling people to do this, it is 100% worthless!
If you want to do anything, buy some sodium percarbonate powder and add that to your laundry. It’s the active ingredient of so-called “oxygen bleach”. Sodium percarbonate is good at removing stains and yellowing from white clothes and helping to take the stink out of smelly laundry.
Either that or just spend a little more money on quality laundry detergent. Plain old Tide works quite well for most people. If you have a top load washer, set it so that it fills the tub to the max. Front loaders and super eco-friendly washers are fine for most people, but for those that work outside or do dirty things for a living, you need more water and soap to get your stuff clean.
- Comment on I wonder why the world is on fire? A mystery 1 week ago:
And that’s the core of it.
Every poor moron thinks that one day they will get rich and they don’t want to ruin things for their future rich self. The don’t actually DO anything to get rich, they don’t have a plan, resources, much intelligence, they’re not doing anything to improve their life, go to school, seek a better job, learn about finances. But one day, they’ll be rich. They believe this until they get to about 50-60, their health issues start creeping up, then it starts to dawn on them that they’re over the hill and have no real future beyond the current state of affairs–same life, but just older, sicker and weaker. THEN they sometimes wake up and see the bullshit, but it’s too late.
Some of these people pick up a modest inheritance from their dead parents, but they usually piss it away in a few years, certainly aren’t going to invest it, use it to build anything or have any expectation of creating generational wealth. They buy a big pickup truck and some assorted stupid shit, and it’s wasted in a flash.

Been wearing some type of snug undies my whole life. I’m almost 50 and my boys are high and tight.
Boxers are just puzzling to me. I wore them a few times and they were so big and baggy, they were all tangled up inside my pants. Like wearing a pair of gym shorts under regular shorts. No support, not comfortable, nuts stuck to thigh, what the hell is the point?

Fix a rust hole in a shitburger car. Though street signs work better.

I mean, you could just switch to porn exclusively.
Hey, maybe that was the plan all along! I just wanted to understand how to fix my car or watch cat videos and now I’m watching a video where some lady is stuffing herself full of, well, everything.
Big porn wins again dammit!

- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 3 weeks ago:
I have done on purpose. It is fun and easy.
Go to home depot (I hate that place anyway). Get the type of cart that has the big metal tube that runs around the top. Meant for atacking sheets of material flat.
Buy a sheet of something cheap. Thin plywood, foam board, whatever. Lay it across the top. Get a smaller one and stand it up vertically so you have a top and side facing shield.
Get a nice cordless power tool and put it down at the bottom.
Go through self checkout and pay for the sheets (make sure barcode faces up).
The cameras from the top and register can’t see the power tool. Just be cool and leave. Never go back.
It really does take a village.

Ok but did we really need yet another term that is difficult to distinguish from pre-existing terms?
When you have to write an essay to describe it, that should be a clue.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
This is the correct answer. Within even one seemingly narrow kink, there are so many flavors of it.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
I dislike the notion that some people lay down of “oh that’s not kinky, what I do is kinky”. It’s not a competition, nobody gets points for being at some “level” of the game. A good kink gets you off HARD and you have an awesome time. It doesn’t have to be some fucking extreme thing where you have to have a bunch of tattoos, black leather, knives, ropes and all that shit. It can be that stuff, but it can be whatever dials up the fuck-o-meter to 11. Fetlife is full of people who want to gatekeep some shit. Every group has insular douchebags who want to say they are the expert. Fuck right off with all that shit.

My apologies if you have a fucky 80s era GM product.
In MOST cars, a fuel filter is easy.
- Comment on Engine auto-off 4 weeks ago:
Don’t do this. If you unclog the filter the next stop for the junk you knocked loose is the engine.
Fuel filters are cheap and easy to replace.
- Comment on Engine auto-off 4 weeks ago:
Modern oils and modern cylinder lining makes this a non-issue.
You’re more likely to have a modern car with bad rings as they chase fuel economy numbers. Honestly, a hybrid is a very solid choice anymore. Lifts the burden of the gas engine having to be hyper-efficient and eases the extreme tolerances required to get there.
Shame that there are very few fun hybrids, crazy expensive things don’t count.
Infiniti made an m35h that actually had more power than the gas version and it got better mileage. Granted, it is a porky sedan, but that thing would still haul its fat ass.
- Comment on Engine auto-off 4 weeks ago:
I have been renting a lot of cars lately. The hybrids do the best job because hybrid. The gas cars can be hit or miss. A jeep renegade I rented did ok except that sometimes it would auto stop, sometimes it wouldn’t. You had to be stopped and the. Push the brake a little harder to engage.
I have a Volvo and if you stop at a pace other than very gentle, it will shut off the engine before you’ve stopped moving. That one is annoying.
Got a newer Volvo as a loaner and the baby hybrid system in them is FAR better. You can’t even really hear it start up. I believe it doesn’t have a traditional starter, you hear almost nothing when you start it for the first time. It just kind of goes from being off to running without any sound or vibration. Very weird but kinda cool.
Each system is a little different, some are not very good, others you don’t even notice.

- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 1 month ago:
It is less about the output in lumens of the lamp, but more about the angle and color temperature.
In most cars, the difference between regular headlight operation and “brights” has nothing to do with the output, it’s about the angle of the beams. Of course, when you angle the headlights up so you can see farther down the road, now you also point them at oncoming drivers eyes.
The scourge of “blue” headlights amplifies the problem. They’re no brighter, but they are more uncomfortable to stare down.
In most cars, there are a variety of ways to fine-tune the angle of the beams with often little more than a screwdriver. The problem is that most people have no idea that they need to be adjusted. This is why regular inspections are important as well as some sort of standards that can be applied across a wide variety of cars.
The reality is that correcting poor angle on headlights is a trivial task, should only take a few moments. Additionally, most modern headlight systems are active and can adjust the angle by pointing the lamp down or using shutters or individual LEDs to change the angle or beam pattern. Eventually, this will just be an irritating thing of the past, but it will take a number of years before every GM truck and SUV is off the road as well as a lot of current Hyundai/Kia products (anecdotally observed by me to be the worst offenders).
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 1 month ago:
I know a person who hates ketchup with all of her soul. Same for mayo, mustard, bbq sauce, any condiment.
However, she’ll eat a sloppy joe drowning in that sauce from the can like it’s her job.
Y’all ketchup haters is weird.

Same here. I think it was actually this meme that did it. I saw people commenting that they could not and I’m like “ha yeah, of course you can’t, who can do that?”. The lots of people are like, yeah, I can create a complex 3d shape in my mind and manipulate it, turn it, get closer, etc. I’m like WTF who are these megamind savants who can do this. Turns out, most people.
I felt very alone and very incapable after that realization.

Exactly. Unless you’re cooking or cleaning GTFO of the kitchen. There is a living room, a porch, and several other places you can be. I even put the food in the dining room and people STILL want to stand in stupid places. If you come in then I’m giving you some shit to do. Here, take the trash out you vagrant or get the hell out of here.
