Oh, they give lots of fucks about a lot of people. Enough so that they want them all dead.

This shit is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're in the US and you're not CIS and straight, you better start figuring out how to look like you are while you figure out how to escape.

Well, yeah, but in this case you'd be selling it to someone who will fix it.

That thing was a Ford fluke. I drove mine 20k miles after I got it without charging the oil, and it never complained. The fucker actually got more fuel efficient the longer I drove it. Ended up somewhere like 32 city.

I miss it

I live in an area with lots of pollen and high humidity and I just rinse the house off every so often. A pressure washer absolutely isn't a requirement.

No, it's nothing like renting because you're financially responsible for literally everything. Need a new roof? Better be prepared to shell out $20k minimum. Need a new HVAC system? Yeah, it's not much cheaper.

You don't necessarily build as much equity in a home as people seem to think. With the costs of maintenance, insurance, property taxes, etc. it's entirely possible to lose money with a house.

Sure, if you're only looking at the purchase price vs selling price it looks nice, but there's tons of costs that only serve to keep the selling price from dropping.

It's not a bad analogy, you're just not understanding the core concept that a higher power interfering is different than interpersonal interactions.

I mean, that's one of the downsides to home ownership. If it's not yard work, there's always some sort of maintenance that needs doing.

You can either put it off until it becomes an emergency, pay someone out the ass to do it, or you can find some way to force yourself to do it.

I say this as I'm taking a break from climbing in my attic to replace the AC condensate pump line that I've been putting off for 3 months, so I don't have to keep dumping 5 gallon buckets of water out twice a day. The quote to have a pro do it was $750

But the picture of the shooter from the scene looks nothing like him besides being a white dude.

One thing to keep in mind is that the used car market is fucked right now because of the tariffs. You're going to pay a premium for any used car from a dealership for the next long while.

My advice? Get a gray title on the car and sell it to someone who will fix it up. I hit a deer with my old 99 contour, and the insurance adjuster totaled it because my back seat was messy (I wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't said it to my face; the whole story is a trip). They gave us $2400 for it, we kept the car, and sold it to a family friend for $1200 because it just needed new headlight assemblies. We only paid $1200 for it in the first place, but my step dad knew the dealer and got it for what he paid.

That's only liability insurance, though.

It might be worth it if you have a Jeep for the glass replacement alone, though
