Is that an hour further, or is it already 45 minutes?

Nurse? Maybe she's laying plans to get out of Dodge.

I might be recommending the better of my parent's 2 Camrys. It's a 2003 with 203k miles. We need to downsize our fleet.

She showed an ad for a rebuilt title 2007 Honda CRV, and a 2009 Camry hybrid.

I love helping people, but this is a case where the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's not that there is one or two issues to deal with; it's continually doing life wrong due to a miscalibrated reality filter.

How can young(ish), attractive, educated (multiple degrees), people eek out a living by the skin of their teeth? Having a heart for others is awesome, but acting on that means having taken care of your own room first.

All that said, it's a miracle that she does so many things well considering a half-abandoned upbringing.

I just noticed the hot-button issue (10 posts in less than 12 hours).

It reminded me of Oregon Mobile Tune Up. I know the guy, he jumped out of perfectly good airplanes with my little brother.

I think I will call him tomorrow. Maybe he can get the Dasher sorted out!

In other news, dealership are so last century. Tesla's model is starting to look dated. Arcimoto are using rentals to get b*tts in seats. Then one can order online, and DHL delivers.

A service center will be a box van that the FUV fits inside of, full of spare parts.

Just because you are "educated" and come from a supposed decent background does not support rational thought processes anymore. My lengthy education process just showed that I could sit in classrooms in the evening for hours and sometimes pass testing requirements. Used to know many heavily degreed people who couldn't survive without socialized help. Irv Culver comes to mind.

I see it all the time.
Kids go off to college and get an easy degree plan, but no one tells them easy means useless.
Furthermore no one bothered to tell them you can look up pay and employment rates for people with various degrees. That's how I started looking at what college degree.

If someone worked hard to get a 4 year degree that typically pays $30,000 a year or can't find a job with that degree and is surprised by this obviously they should have worked a little harder and took 10 minutes to look up those pay scales and employment rates.

She's always earned decent income ($35k+), but never had a job that utilizes either of her degrees.

This is a byproduct of treating children like livestock and sending them through the cattle shoot. She probably never thought about not going to college, or going to college to achieve a specific goal other than to feed on the slop (degree). She's done what the left has prescribed and dictated all her life and thinks it's evil white men who are responsible for her relative lack of success.

Blaming white men for all your problems sounds a lot like 1930s Germans blaming Jews for all their problems.

[freebeard]

Just the evil ones?

I sat in my Freshman year Honors English class and they talked about the French Existentialists. Over the years that morphed into Frankfurt School Marxism. Today it is what you see before you.

The good news is the worthless degree got me a passable MOS in the one-time Republic of South Vietnam.

The alternative to 'higher' education is Free & Open Source software. Learn to code in Python.

Achieving monetary success sabotages any hope of placing in the oppression olympics. Having relatively scarce melanin already severely handicap's one's ability to claim a handicap.

Yeah you would be surprised. Practical sense is just a hard thing to come by these days. I have a friend from engineering school who was for sure the smartest guy in all of the program, but was raised by naive parents and continues to make the same dumb life mistakes. You can't help them though. They will ask for advice and then not like it. It usually just makes them mad that you don't agree with bad decisions.

Once a girl tried to shame me for using the term feminazi to describe feminazis. I answered telling her that judging people by biological features and religious affiliation is a common practice among both feminazis and national-socialists.
