You can say drugs. It’s the internet.

Instinctively downvoted Meloncuck’s face. His fans are without a doubt the worst force in the music community. I’ll take a hundred Swifties before I have to deal with another Fantano stan trying to talk about fucking Carly Rae Jepsen with me in the pit before a show starts. Awful. Awful. Awful.

“Dr*nk driver” is a slur, we prefer “driver who drinks.” And it’s only a couple beers to get the shakes down before I get on the road and a couple of road beers as needed if they come back

When I was younger I’d always make sure to toss a beer can straight at the windshields of those jerkasses. Always had plenty rolling around in the foot wells. Might just have to start doing that again as long as automakers keep shipping out cars with the head of Helios shoved into where the headlamps are supposed to be

You’ve never worked retail, have you?

No? The inflation of the past few years was way too apparent for the current administration to ignore in their reelection campaign, but “inflation” is a scary word with some serious political connotations that no sitting official wants to connect themselves to. Instead, you just say “it’s not inflation, It’s corporate greed!” and you’re saying the same thing twice.

See how “Depression” became “Recession” which became “Economic Downturn”

Always has been. Saying “I-its not inflation! It’s… corporate greed!” was always a political decision and nothing more

I’m sitting at my desk rn looking at my Mitsubishi VCR

Not necessarily although I hadn’t heard of Saudi Aramco until your comment.

In western terms, the Keiretsu combined vertical and horizontal integration; only a handful of companies owned almost every level of production and had “gentleman’s agreements” to avoid heavy competition with one-another. What makes the Keiretsu unique is that the companies were chosen and consolidated by the US government and structured to be sympathetic to America and unlikely to rebuild the Imperial Army. Former fighter plane manufacturers were made into electric keyboard makers, rifle companies became borers for motors for small cars, etc. It’s why you get scenarios like the OP meme

I’d suggest reading into the Keiretsu Corporations that the US supported during the occupation era. In short, the US had a pretty big interest in creating a series of companies more powerful than the government (sound familiar), because they’d be more loyal to the US (AKA: “Capitalism, The Country”). Keiretsu follows some uniquely Japanese concepts like interdependence and societal betterment that you don’t really see affecting many western companies

Maybe my comment was a bit rude but please don’t teach your daughter to instantly distrust people based on their gender. That’s a recipe for undersocilization that’s going to fuck her up for a long time

Subway Exposure

I’m hoping that’s a different entity than the Subway Exposer

Not only that, they lowered the quality at the same time. I remember when a subway sandwich was still kinda gross, but at least it was filling and you could have a decently healthy calorie dollar if you ordered right. Now, half the weight of your sandwich is in that super sweetened bread and the meat portions are tiny

Re: your question

A Ford econoline is probably your best bet. They’re ugly as sin but they made about four billion of them so parts will always be available and cheap. The zesty (and slightly harder to find / more expensive) answer is a Chevy Astro/GMC Safari AWD van. Neither one will come with a roof rack but aftermarket ones can be found in abundance and cheap.

This is deplorable. I love you

Nah, just T5 swapping something. Turns out Aerostar driveshaft is almost a perfect slot-in for a Volvo 940 Turbo

I need one of these for the drive shaft lol

Is your username a good place reference?

Former server, but still: no-tippers stung for about five minutes but I almost always forgot about them by the end of the night. The only times I’d remember if someone didn’t tip was if they’d made a fuss beforehand, but if you were quiet and just didn’t leave a tip, I’d assume you just didn’t have the money and forget about it.

Most servers won’t tell you this, but they’re usually making several times over what they’d realistically be getting for a wage (think $20-$50/hr on a given night). One table isn’t killing them.
