I have a good '08 car that I bought with cash 10 years ago for $3000. I got it from a guy who exclusively sells and fixes this model of car. I went back last year to get my car fixed and looked at the cars he was selling. '08s were starting at $5000.
- Comment on [SATIRE] Here's an idea: "Therapeutic Kidnapping"- let me explain (text-post inside) 4 weeks ago:
It was the original definition of “gooning”: wikipedia
Sadly the traumatic kidnapping was generally the least bad part of the experience, since the camps were/are incredibly abusive.
- Comment on How is Arcane the series based upon League of Legends, a tower defense game? 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t both genres, tower defense and MOBA, evolve from Warcraft III mods / custom levels? I don’t think it’s too outlandish to get them confused if you aren’t into them.
- Comment on Can you eat soap for acid reflux? 1 month ago:
A heart attack is a damaging lack of blood flow to the heart. This is very often caused by your heart beating wrong (or not at all) but can have many other causes. It’s also important to note that the heart largely does not receive oxygen from the blood inside it; it has its own set of blood vessels on the outside feeding it. Therefore you can have a heart attack even though the pumping portions are completely clear.
It’s possible for the blood flow to be slowed so far by blockages that your heart starts taking damage, yet still struggles on for five days. Definitely not a common scenario, but it does highlight just how varied and uneven heart attack symptoms are. Which just makes the whole thing that much scarier in my opinion.

Heartburn is a type of pain usually caused by acid reflux, but can be mimicked by a heart attack.
- Comment on I'm suppose to believe I now live in a world where a Democrats can become president agoant and put George Soros at the head of DOGE? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I kinda assumed all elections from here on out will be like Russia: you can vote for whoever you want, but it won’t count and you’re going to get a visit afterwards.
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 2 months ago:
Agreed. There are really only two reasons managers do that. Either they want to deny raises or they want to fire you. Both need a paper trail, and neither is affected by what they say to coworkers. Either way it’s time to interview with other companies.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 months ago:
Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 months ago:
I definitely didn’t read it that way from the post. I thought it was about your hobbies and creative interests. I guess you could infer social strata by whether the answerer has time and disposable income for hobbies. Some don’t require much investment, but it’s usually more than none.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 months ago:
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?

Am I blind or is this the exact same as the posted comic?
- Comment on I've never had such good prints. Replaced my warped ass Ender3S1 bed with a mirror. 5 months ago:
That looks great. How did get such good adhesion? My bed is super uneven so I switched to glass and had incredible results, but I have to babysit the first few layers because 50% of the prints are wrapped around the nozzle by the end.

I had to preheat for 20 minutes when I was using a glass bed. Took ages but the results were so smooth.
