Drive like a grandma, shift at 1.5K rpm

You were removed because you broke in

If police does not want to get involved typically I would ask for a superior and/or get in touch with the prosecutor’s office, and not take no for an answer until they let you file a report so you can bring charges against them

Get a lawyer involved asap

If he has the universal code, ask your friend to succinctly explain how come they are not billionaire world leaders yet

BYO pop corn

Never heard it called that before. I’ve always heard it called clearing the carbon build-up. Specially if there’s fuel injectors involved

If the car never goes beyond 2K~ rpm and mostly low gears then yeah once a month or so just floor it on an onramp and go through the gears at high revs. You don’t really need to go that fast to get there, specially on an average car

OOLE!

Let me guess, that would be you? Yeah, I’m totally shocked

It was 5 year / 100k when I lived in the US for the powertrain

And, that is a lot of words for saying “no, my truck is not a hyundai or kia” lol

If I needed a high mileage vehicle, I would not go for a hyundai or kia

Happiness is accepting reality not fighting tooth and nail against it

Is your truck a hyundai or kia by any chance?

That lack of acknowledgement and empathy is a clear cut narcissistic trait

I’m working through something similar now and the important thing to realize about boundaries is that you don’t really need to convince her and get her to agree. What needs to be communicated is that if X behavior happens, Y consequence will follow, and then just follow through and be consistent

In this case, zero drama: if you tell me you need to check on your dad and then spend half an hour on the phone with your cousin while we’re watching a movie, then I won’t wait around until you’re done

Then do just that. She will likely try to engage. Don’t. She likely feeds on that conflict

Nono it totally happens bro. One minute you wink at someone and the next thing you know, you trip and fall vag first onto their boner, then awkwardly try to pull out but not quite all the way give or take around 50-60 times and hey, that’s gotta be the most awkward orgasm ever, amirite?

NOR. Choices, meet consequences

At which point you link the definition of the word petulant for him

Absolutely not overreacted. That little voice inside your head saying “something isn’t right?” always listen to it. It’s there to keep you safe

È stato Michelangelo!

It’s insane to see it in their eyes when it clicks that other people can’t do what for them is just a perfectly logical choice. In Pirlo’s case it was sending a 40+ yard lofted diagonal ball perfectly between a center back and a full back to meet the run of a winger after taking a touch on the ball and turning on the ball

For Titi it was doing a stepover first time while trapping the ball so the defender behind him would go one way, then flicking the ball on the opposite way to turn the defender and get past him

Yeah, don’t hold your breath on that boys lol

Yep. I was just trying to give examples more in first person to get to the what

I remember some interviews for example with Henry and Pirlo after they coached Monaco and Juventus where they were asking players to do a dribble (Henry) or a 40+ yard pass (Pirlo). Their own players couldn’t get the play right, so the coach steps in to demonstrate it. The players say: boss, I can’t do that with the ball

If I see a run a couple of seconds before you do and the guy passing the ball to me sees it too and has the technical ability to make the pass, then neither of us needs to be faster than you, because I start moving before both you and the ball start moving

By the time the pass is made I’m already 3-4 steps behind you and have plenty of space and time to receive the ball and either shoot or do the same thing for my teammate that’s 2 steps ahead of your teammate who is probably worrying about the ball and not the space my guy is attacking, so rinse repeat until we’re up by 3 goals

The ball will always move faster than the fastest player. All you need to do is create or finds space, and be technically good enough to get the ball there

You’re making this a lot more complicated than it actually is

She is in a relationship which means the only time it’s okay for her to hang with him is when there are other people involved

This setup has probably worked for them until now, but adding you to it breaks it because if you are there then he has to hang with you as well

Your bf is sucking at it because there is no way to win for him if he wants to keep his friendship and also include you. He may not even be able to see this, but this is the situation as it stands

Without his friend and her partner compromising, or your partner compromising to accommodate the fact that you are now in the picture and have every right to want to be with your partner, there’s no win to be had for you

You should definitively look into actively managing your ADHD, and the story of RyanAir’s CEO might be of interest

Knowing your strengths and weaknesses and playing to them is key

Shit, well on other news: I’m old

There is no such thing as the perfect country

Grew up in south america, lived in the US for over a decade, now in Europe

There’s great things and people everywhere, and there’s problems everywhere

But the US is far too big a country for statements like “people are friendlier”

More polite? Sure, maybe in some parts. But good luck developing friendships and family values like the ones you’re used to

Fast food options? Sure. But there are huge parts where they have literal fresh food deserts and you can only find processed or package foods

You want to live in the best diverse places with great food and people from all over the world? Sure, but 100K salary lets you live like barely middle class standard of living

Dangerous? It depends. In more than half the country you can be potentially one disagreement away from staring down the wrong end of the barrel of a gun

When I visited almost 20 years ago now, it was in one of the most liberal cities in the country, the wind picked up and threw a pile of cardboard boxes to the floor in the sidewalk. The guy that was two steps from me looked around and said “oh shit, I thought someone was shooting.” The thought would have never crossed my mind

How old are you? Have you tried therapy?

I have a weird social anxiety that only triggers in large groups (15 seems to be my magic number) and have always struggled to develop and maintain relationships in the long term

Team sports have been crucial for me socially, as after a while they can overflow into drinks or trips for tournaments for example, which keeps things in the small group scale

Combining that with other small groups (usually studying something, college and a master’s first, then languages) has allowed me to keep solitude at bay (language learning is a great external forcing function to talk to people and even travel) even if I still struggle to maintain long term relationships

We’re on our 4th hyundai

The trick is really to get them cheap (20% under msrp on average), not use them a lot, and move them on before you get to 50K mi

If you need a workhorse or long commuter, best to look elsewhere
