2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

Every place that does oil changes are slow as fuck besides the ones where you just pull up, but they don’t rotate tires.

Her ex husband was in the hospital back in May. He was there with a mysterious gut illness and almost died.

The drive up ones commonly make mistakes like topping off the brake master cylinder with power steering fluid. Saw a lot of that when I was working in a shop. Every component in the system that has a rubber seal in it has to be replaced, so the repair estimate was always $1500-$2000.

Do modern ICE cars have easily-accessible oil filters/pans? I’m asking because our newest vehicle that needs oil is 2003, so I honestly don’t know. We just do it ourselves. Well, my husband does, but I also could do it if I needed to because my daddy raised me right. :wink:

2 jacks + lugwrench means he also does our tire rotations, which I could also do because once again, my dad made sure I knew how to do all that stuff. The Tesla has to be jacked up using special pads on the contact points/jacks but they sell them for cheap on the Tesla website, or you can just use hockey pucks in a pinch.

Most are fairly accessible. I could change the oil and filter on my older Toyota 4runner without jacking it up, but reaching the filter and getting it into the drip pan was a PITA. 2007 Honda oddyssey had to be jacked up, but the filter was completely unobstructed and super easy to get to.

Doesn’t he get some credit for not pretending to be ultra MAGA? Doing so pretty much sets him up with gigs for life.

Of course, he may just be a total dumbass who thought that by equivocating he could get everybody to like him.

It’s totally common for professional organizations to have codes of behaviour and ethics that members must abide by.

If he wants to renounce his professional status as a psychologist then fine you can maybe argue thought crimes.

He doesn’t get to be the only one who ignores his professions rules.

Oh I’m sure that’s true. But he could have made an album entirely about people buying iPhones with his tax money and teachers making the kids trans. Then, you sell downloads directly because “big media” like the Apple Store are controlled by George Soros. He could have made millions and millions of dollars off the astroturfing. It would have been trivially easy.

I’m not sure how much of the reason he didn’t do that is principle, and how much is being a dumbass.

I live in a small town and joined a slow pitch softball league. Probably 80% of the people there voted for trump.

They all still drink bud light

Not everyone lives online

They also forget really fast. My stepdad’s family went from refusing to watch the NFL at Thanksgiving, to watching every game back to back to back in 2 years (not sure what they did in the intervening year). But I was honestly surprised as I thought they’d be holding to their convictions.
