It’s true. I’m a miserable dick. Internally I’m rotten, angry, bitter and full of hatred. With a lack of positive social atmosphere and solitude I suffer alone with nobody to talk to. Of course in real life I am nice to people, you wouldn’t even know I’m such a prick. But here — online, on Reddit, I’m a fucking asshole. I purposefully troll people and start arguments to waste peoples’ time with no intention of proving an actual point, view, or fact.

Maliciously I lure people into an argument, or attack something they say (sometimes they deserve it), or purposefully drop an opinion opposite of what the room is saying. Later I end up feeling bad. The solitude intensifies, the feelings of despair intensify, a new day arrives, and I’m still an asshole. It’s tantamount to harassment, though I’ve been banned a time or two (for a few days) it just makes me more adept to pushing the envelope or threshold of being an asshole but just shy of banishment.

My real life problems stem from not being so much a bad person, but my environment is extremely stressful, I literally can’t have hobbies or any positive social connections. It’s nobodies fault, maybe just bad fucking luck. Over time it’s twisted my soul and internal narrative by not having a positive release from daily stressors.

It has to be bad karma, I don’t want to be an asshole to people, I’m totally aware it’s a shitty way to be. In general I like people. I wouldn’t want someone to treat me like an asshole, I can’t stand those people! Hypocrisy, right? The anonymity of this platforms offers somewhat of a release and a social platform for interaction but I take it too far. I don’t think I’m a psycho, but issues certainly make it where I’m frustrated and lash out in unhealthy ways.

It’s not the only reason I get on here. Some positive comes of it, have friendly conversations with random internet denizens, learning new things everyday, and of course laughing at a multitude of random videos and content.

Anyway, I don’t want to be an asshole anymore. Might just delete my account and figure shit out on my own like men end up always having to do. Sorry to the people I’ve offended, purposefully annoyed, bullied and harassed. On any given day, in person, I’m usually a pleasant person to be around and could sit down and have a joyful beer with just about anyone. I want to do better and be better. This is the seed and it starts now!

Be well, folks.

We need to step up the shaming. Dirty yellows? Nasty tattered gloves clipped to the belt at chow? Ssstttaaahhhpppp. It’s a &$#%+¥* kitchen.

How can I make a phone call from a DPH or BK5000? Is it even possible?

What should I get!?

Right now I have a SAGA .308, mosberg 12, and a S&W M&P 9mm PCC. I wouldn’t mind another PCC and was interested in a CZ scorpion EVO3. I don’t know, just kind of lost. Looking for something fun and different than run of the mill AK or AR — though they aren’t off the table, there ARE some nice ones out there. Budget is about $1,000, maybe $1,300 if it’s got some wow to it.

Open to a nice handgun of some kind as well. Just so damn many guns to choose from.

My family is rather large. We have three adults, four children and two dogs under one roof. We are absolutely flying through trash bags. Maybe 2-3 bags / day for the main can, 1-2 / week for each of the bathrooms. I use the Costco Kirkland brand 13 gallon bags and recently upgraded to a larger can that uses the 33 gallon bags. All of these bags really add up, it’s a ton of plastic and it’s killing my budget.

We live in a single family residential so this may be easier for me to do than say if you live in a large complex or have to run your garbage to the dump all the time yourself. And much to my horror I realized this is a TERRIBLE idea for summer time — more on that later.

What I started doing is walking the kitchen garbage can to the outdoor bin and just dumping it in there. Why do I need to change the liner? I don’t! Just dump the whole thing in there and reuse the bag. It’s pointless to change out the liner when it’s still perfectly usable. The outdoor bin doesn’t need to be clean, it’s a friggin trash can and always smells like death anyways. During the winter I can use a liner for about a week, in the summer time this scheme doesn’t work well. Flys, maggots, horrible smells in the outdoor bin — it’s a no go. Sometimes I spritz the liner with a little bleach water before bringing it inside to keep and smells down.

I don’t know how much I’m saving but it’s a chunk. A box of 200 13 gallon bags is about $22 here, previously I could get a 200 count box to last about 8 months. The 33 gallon bags are a little bit more, however, a box of 90 should last a whole year!

Thanks for reading about my minuscule savings.

My 1967 cutlass has a built 350ci motor and a TH350 transmission. I want to move that motor to my all original 67’ vista cruiser. Vista cruiser currently has the 330 and I believe a stock transmission — not sure what it is. I’m concerned about the driveline fitment for both vehicles since there is a variance in the transmissions.

Will I need to swap the drivelines too or should I leave each driveline in their current vehicle?

Will the 350/TH350 slip into the VC without having to muckle with the driveline and transmission support? How can I measure?

Thanks!

As we draw nearer to 4th of July and firework stands opening up we are going to be celebrating the Fourth of July and deal with random booms for the next eight months.

Every year like clockwork we get loads of people on various social media sites raging about how much they hate fireworks and one of their go to arguments for banning them is “the veterans!”

My question for you veterans is: do they bother you? I’m sure this varies from person to person and their experiences.

What do you think of people who say they’re bad for veterans? Do you find their concerns to be organic and empathetic or are they trying to co-opt your struggles for their own agenda?

I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other. There’s a lot of people we have to share this space rock with. I’m just trying to gain some perspective. I don’t know a lot of veterans and never asked anyone in person.
