We GET it. We absolutely do. We get that Trump is more or less a cult and that Americans are just as gullible and easily prodded into agreeing with things they previously didn’t no different than those who were also coerced into supporting past cults of personalities such as Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, And Jones. And…

Correct. Not at $7 an hour but at the aforementioned $10 an hour I mentioned in the initial response. I started out at $7, topped out at $10. I made $7 an hour for the first year and since the lumber yard was pretty happy with me they raised it to $10 an hour the second year. After taxes that amounted to $1200 a…

Just yelling in to the void. But man, this shit is getting real. As in- there are many indications that this fat fuck could win the election. And if he does- we are all fucked. At this point its clear the Supreme Court will side with whatever he does each and every time. There is seemingly somehow nobody or no law…

I rented so I didn’t have to pay for any repairs. I had 7 housemates in a huge house. My rent was $400 a month. I lived cheap, bought clothes at Goodwill, bought food in bulk, etc etc etc...

It wasn’t easy but I did indeed save that and more. And here is how:

1: I lived in a giant house with 7 other housemates. This was in around 2001-2003 and my rent was $400 a month.

2: I was SUPER cheap. As in bought food in bulk, rode my bike to work ( no gas ), brought my lunch, bought all of my clothes and shoes at…

You guys really need to get IT on the phone or something because this site now not only loads VERY slowly but the comments section is also messed up. I’m about this close to stop coming here as NP or ND is about the only thing I come for anyway.

I’ve been a ship nerd since I was a kid. Unfortunately they do not make the kinds of ships that I like as I was probably born too late. Ships like the SS United States are more my thing but its now rusting away in port. The new cruise ships are less ship and more floating resort. And from what I understand passengers…

That’s pretty pathetic. $500? For years I worked at jobs paying $7-$10 an hour and always had at least $5,000 in savings. Americans are stupid when it comes to money.

Lifespans of cruise ships are comparatively short at least for the major cruise ship companies. The average life expectancy is around 30 years. Not because the ships wear out but because they keep on coming out with bigger and bigger ships that have more amenities which attracts more passengers. In fact during the…

Probably because I didn’t know what I was doing but it was when I decided it would be a great idea to change the timing belt on my brother’s 1998 Avalon.

It took all weekend. First of all the harmonic balancer was held on with something like 200 pounds of torque. We had no air compressor or air wrenches. So I…

Nice as long as the future buyer realizes these gte AWFUL fuel economy.

Its because the cars are ticking time bombs. They can get VERY expensive very fast.

I was about to say hell yes until I saw that rust. I almost 100% guarantee that the frame on this is completely eaten alive with rust. My MIL at one time owned a beach house in that area and the salt air eats cars worse than in the rust belt.

Yeah. Walnut Creek definitely comes to mind.

I grew up near Knoxville TN. It has gentrified tremendously. Its just interesting that inside the city-which is relatively small- again, might as well be Portland. Shit tons of microbreweries, its very liberal, very LGBT friendly. But you drive maybe a mile out and it turns right back into Wal-Mart-Cracker-barrel land…

Guess it depends on where you’re talking about. There are “Shitty” places in every state. You go a few hours away from where I live to a place like Modesto California and its definitely a shithole. Most of the fruit you buy in the grocery stores come from California and in particular the Central Valley. Almost all of…

Is it just me or does this just looks sort of “ Meh”? Its sort of bland looking. 

First of all, There are some SERIOUS issues with this site. Its now taking forever to load. So someone needs to look into that.

I think you folks in the south are going to be in a world of hurt in 2024 if Trump wins. A lot of indicators right now suggests Trump could win the election. And if he does that means any state run by a Republican governor is going to eagerly and happily go along with his agenda. Look up Project 2025 from the Heritage…

The helmet law mentioned in the article, permitting those over the age of 26 to choose not to wear a helmet is stupid- full stop. Any state that passes such a law is both irresponsible and partially responsible for the excess deaths it causes. Not sure how much more I can simply this.
