I think Kiwi would go to “Clinker” or “Clunker” before that. Thats Australian.

Henry Rollins is a philosopher.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 2 weeks ago:
I think we’re pretty much on the same page. The stories were the same “Thats my ex” or “Stop flirting with my girl/boy” or “you think you’re better than me” stuff but the shit talking before things got physical was so much better.
Meatheads get to the punching part too fast for it to be funny. You have enough time to go “Aw fuck…” and it was on. I once saw someone go 5 solid minutes on another persons shoes and it was amazing.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 2 weeks ago:
Nah you arent that unique you know. Its the same shit as straught clubs just with less violence and WAY more over the top acting and better writing. Straight guys throw chairs and punches, flamboyant gay dudes throw drinks and slap faces, Its just way more entertaining to be around.
The lesbians on the other hand… that shit was vicious but infrequent. Like dudes brawling but with hair pulling and nails as well.

I worked the door of a very popular gay venue for a year. The security staff called the drama “Gays of our lives” and it was fucking amazing.

On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.
- Comment on Thinheritance 2 weeks ago:
In all honesty, I’m glad that I dont have any of that shit on the left.
Dealing with an estate is enough work without adding guilt into the equation, my will for my daughter literally says “If I did my job right, this is all just stuff. Dont be precious about it because its mine, unless its specifically mentioned I really dont give a shit about it. Do what you need or want to do.”

Your life, your body, your choice and all.
But if you dont have a legit medical reason that having children would be ill advised I wouldnt do it. I never wanted kids, I hated kids. But people change, had one at 35 and another on the way at 40…
21yo me absolutely should not have had kids, I would have been a fucking terrible parent and I’m glad i didnt.

If you’re over 40 how many times did you get laid because “One thing led to another”? Like you ever chill and vibe so hard with someone you feel the need to fuck about it?
In the tail end of my singleness I found that I was able to have more and better conversations with women online because we could share things and experiences without being in the same room… But we werent in the same room, to shoot your shot you had to arrange something, give them a chance to overthink it, give yourself a chance to overthink it, sort out the scheduling issues, work out transport and then hopefully when you get into the same room still have the same magic going on.
When we were bored we hung out to not be bored, sometimes that led to fucking.
- Comment on linus tech tip 4 weeks ago:
I kind of feel for Linus. He is clearly NOT the guy to be in charge of a media company that recieved a 100 million dollar buyout offer and in charge of 50+ people. I genuinely believe he has good intentions and isnt trying to do anything evil or anti consumer.
Doesnt mean his fuckups dont have real world impacts for others though.

I like the arcade physics, but at least keep it challenging and consistent.
- Comment on EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects 5 weeks ago:
I hate to advocate for live service but…
An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events… give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.
E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA

Thats one of those cases of “Fuck I hate that band except that one song”
Like Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback.

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 month ago:
Serious answer?
I have an app on my phone that allows me to control my pellet grill as long as it and my phone have an internet connection.
Doing a 12 hr smoke, I can leave the house and monitor it while I go shopping, change the temps if its not acting right. I can set temperature alerts and then go around the house and my phone goes off when the meat hits a certain internal temp. Its really really handy.

Bacon grease chocolate chip cookies…
I shit you not.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 1 month ago:
I have had this happen once. Cold jar, didnt let the grease cool enough… was my bad. Same as if you’re going to put it into a metal can while its still really hot, make sure the can isnt sitting on something that will melt.
I think the best advice is “Dont pour the grease while its still hot enough to burn you”
- Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased. 1 month ago:
Yep. I was poor and weird but I was also 6 foot tall and pretty big. Its amazing what one really good punch to the face of someone does to your rep for the rest of high school.

I mean… think it dont do it bruh. Also absolutely correct.
You know when the parents went for that meeting they also looked to be like "Well, is the boy at least justified in thinking “dat ass” was worth it.

I swear last time I put a bunch in my shaker I shit things I never ate.
- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 2 months ago:
As a Petrolhead, new noises mean “I hope thats a part I want an excuse to need to spend money on.”
Really, yes it needs brake pads and rotors, but thats like $300. For $300 I got a set of calipers, near new rotors and barely used pads off a facebook group member breaking a higher spec model, then spent another $200 on braided brake lines because its basically no more work if I’m doing the calipers anyway.
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 2 months ago:
Ive always put it in the very crude fashion of “They are both going to fuck us, but one of them spits on it and goes in gentle the other one wants us to struggle.”
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 2 months ago:
Mechwarrior online.
Free, online “shooter”, good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.
- Comment on I know this doesn't make complete sense, but whatever 2 months ago:
Made by a convicted prolific child sex offender.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 2 months ago:
Backfired big time too.
Most of the big older guys realised that walking around all day is actually a pretty low pressure and laid back gig even if you are on your feet all day and dont want to go back on the machines once they are getting like 20,000 steps a day and lose the weight.
- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 2 months ago:
Some companies spend a lot of money on market research and trying to get ahead of trends (Mercedes Benz, Honda, Toyota) some companies disregard common sense and do what they want (Alfa, The French in general) and cheaper brands dont waste the money on price point cars. Its not an Iron clad rule but people buy a german to project wealth, you buy other euros to project style, you buy Honda and Toyota for reliability. You buy a Nissan Altima because they will finance you, you buy a Chinese car because you arent keeping it past warranty expiry anyway.
As to what sets them apart. Little things like painted brake calipers, the quality of the badging, the texture on the plastic interior, little trim pieces that stop you seeing any of the interior workings, the windscreen wipers looking “chunky”. Wheels and stance also play a large part of the image. Wide wheels simply look more expensive, as do lower profile tyres.
Then things get a little more tactile, the dull thump when you shut the door over the higher pitched clank, the thickness of the interior plastics and number of fasteners making the interior feel sturdier even though you cant see the difference, the sensation of the indicators being put on, the UI on the touchscreen…
Prestige brands also dont do trim level names/badges very often. They like letters and numbers like 330i M-Sport or c65 AMG. Lexus followed suit with the LS400. They WANT you to say “Yeah, I got the Touring package” or “I bought the AMG sports pack” and they know their owners want to do it too.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 2 months ago:
Now I dont work in the law enforcement industry but I do work in an industry that has supposed fitness requirements although they arent enforced.
For us, the union told them “If they have to maintain a weight of X to remain employed. You have to pay them to hit the gym on company time or pay their gym fees and an allowance.” So the company filed that away under “fuck that”. Now if you get too fat for the equipment they just move you to a different duty, often one with a shitload of walking around.
