    I don’t think they are.

    Am straight white male, own guns, drive truck for work, go hunting every November.

    Still don’t care what other grown-ass adults do with each other or to themselves as long as everyone is consenting. It’s really not that hard.



  • I actually love doing appliance repair as side jobs. Most of the time it’s a cheap part that I have on hand and it’s a quick fix.

    Unfortunately, just my hourly rate usually makes some people second guess if it’s a good idea, which is fair, because manufacturers have made their products so bare bones and cheap that is often cheaper to buy a new one then have someone diagnose and repair it. It’s a real shame, because you do end up with literal tons of equipment that gets scrapped every day because of a 10 dollar relay or capacitor that went bad.


  • I mean, I fix my own fridges and appliances and do small appliance work for my friends and neighbors, but I already own the required tools so I’m really just charging for some time and the refrigerant.

    134a is still cheap, and no company worth their salt should be charging a fee to customers so that specialized tools can be purchased. If you don’t own the tools of the trade, that’s a company problem, not a customer problem.

    3000 dollars was a “I don’t want to do it price”

    For people I don’t know, I do charge about 300 bucks to just show up, because that covers operating costs and an hour of my time. But unless the system was pulling into a vacuum, it shouldn’t take longer than an hour or so to recover the refrigerant, patch the leak, pull a vacuum, and recharge. So yeah, if your fridge is only worth 500 bucks, it’s not worth it. But if it’s an expensive fridge it might be worth it to find an appliance technician that will charge you a fair rate to repair the damage.



  • He failed to sell steaks and casinos(yes multiple casinos) to Americans.

    You know what Americans fucking love? Steak and the distant chance of becoming rich through no effort.

    You know how badly you’d have to mismanage a casino to cause it to go bankrupt? It’s a building where people willing go to get blind drunk and give you money. If you owned a money printer, I don’t know if you could make as much money as a casino can per day.

    He’s been a moron for decades. He just used Daddies money to buy his way into pop culture. He’s Paris Hilton but replace the tits and drug use with being a sad loser who couldn’t sell shit to a fly.




  • I once watching someone’s truck engine burst into flame in the parking lot of the grocery store.

    The driver had popped the hood to look at the smoke coming out and had just started running away when it burst into flames.

    I grabbed my fire extinguisher from my car and put out the engine fire, and then the lady came back and started yelling at me for getting fire extinguisher dust all over her truck.

    She started talking about lawsuits by like the third sentence so I just took my empty fire extinguisher and drove to a different grocery store. I’ve been hesitant to help random people with their cars ever since. I always want to, but then I remember that crazy lady and decide it might not be worth my time or money if I have to use something of mine to bail someone else out.


  • The FBI recovered extensive documentation when they raided the island. Epstein was essentially running a business trafficking young girls to his pedo island, and he made sure to keep records.

    The list of customers was only ever partially released, and certain people’s names were redacted. One of them was heavily redacted due to his prominent public position. Trump was president at the time this partial list was released, and made every effort to say how he barely knew Epstein, even though there’s hundreds of pictures of them hugging and smiling both by themselves and with their wives.

    What people want is the full list of names. Trump basically confirmed himself as on the list due to his behavior. But there are certainly many people who went to that island and should not be walking free but managed to slip under the radar.
