I said elsewhere that 100% of beggars are liars. They are.

That isn't to say they don't have real problems, but their primary problem is deceiving themselves, and by extension, others.

You cannot help those who refuse to confront the root of their disfunction.

I asked if that was the ultimate burner phone.
You will have to excuse me. My comprehension glitched out momentarily at 'DuckDuckGoPhone'. (Is he mocking me for using a search engine that has been discredited for censorship? No, DDG just passes trough a Bing policy, that can't be it.... where was I?)

That was a question not an opinion.

Met the Alaskan, not the sister, at the DMV?

I think what you do is put a classified ad in a local paper disavowing any subsequent indebtedness or something, For legal cover in any emergent legal shenanigans.

She isn't even a beggar. Beggars at least say "Please." She would mention problems, I asked what she was going to do about it, and either she said "I don't know" or she hints that I could help.

I haven't heard anything about DuckDuckGo. As far as I know it is still used for privacy.

That phone is used for privacy, hence DuckDuckGoPhone, the private phone.

Con-fla-shun.

Right from that search engines orifice:
hduckduckgo.com/?q=duckduckgo+censoring+results+with+Bing&ia=web

You might have to dig for the connection to Bing. Your alternatives are Brave Search and Presearch. Apparently, they censor g*y p*rn as well as 'Russian mis-information'.

""I don't know"" with big, puppy-dog eyes. Amirite?

I believe the advertising is for the termination of a contracted obligation, not a social arrangement

$0-$40M in four easy steps!

That dang click-baiting millennial that I haven't watched in what? A year? posted yet another oversimplified video about how he got where he is:
  1. Make hundreds of thousands a year.
  2. Invest wisely.
  3. ????
  4. Profit!
probably.

Why would I resume watching him now?

The Holbrook mom just mentioned she wants me to drive an hour each way just to work with one kid.

"Will both of them be home on Saturday?"
"No."
For crying out loud!

I am supposed to start seeing a new client next Saturday and the brother of a client that I recently started seeing is supposed to be authorized soon, so I could have five clients in a total of seven hours.

Maybe an hour of paperwork.


Two weeks might finance replacing the head gasket and timing belt in the 2002 Civic.

Of course, I dropped off that three weeks ago and all that he has done is confirm the head gasket is blown.

I figured that when I first saw the add and what else would explain the brown foam in the oil cap?

The office said they would look for more clients soon.

What do you do once you can afford to completely fill up the tank?

I don't even know!

I lost the place in the head gasket story. Thought you were doing that work yourself?

I still haven't put my 2000 Civic back together after replacing that head gasket!

Of course, I replaced the head gasket eventually, and the heater core.

Unfortunately, nobody would tell me how to test the replacement heater core, and it was bad.

Hey, does anyone know where to find a $300 JDM engine?

Asking for my mechanic!

If you didn't catch it on a different thread Xist has 4 cars today and is looking for a 5th.

2 broken Civics
1 Accord that consumes large quantities of fluids (Was being driven by the Alaskan girlfriend)
1 Salvage title Camry that he bought back from the insurance company but doesn't want anymore.
