  • Also, sometimes I dont want the psychic weight of having to take my friend over the coals for violating safety procedure. I also dont want my friend doing overtime he really doesnt want to do because he knows I need it done. Work is work and work is purely transactional.

    I can absolutely be friends, but if you cant accept that its entirely seperate to work. We arent.

    Its funny but this is why I believe car guys are so weird.

    Playing with cars is an expensive hobby, so you cant engage in it as often as you like without a LOT of disposable income so when you meet another car guy and he mentions “Yeah I have to yank the engine out of my race car this weekend” if you dont have plans you actually really DO want to help even if you barely know the guy because you get to engage in your hobby on someone elses dime.

    So you go around, spend a day swearing and getting filthy, busting your knuckles and putting sweat into their passion for nothing more than maybe lunch and a few drinks, so they really are appreciative.

    All that Fast and Furious “Family” shit is overblown, but my son is named after my best friend and we became friends for life engine swapping and building a 89 Honda.



  • Yeah I asked her why we arent putting this in the same basket as all the other horseshit medical advice thats come from this administration. She said “Broken clocks… Everyone thought the sun revolved around the earth too, I can put up with a mildly annoying headache.”

    And I couldnt refute that. I havent seen the literature or studies (or lack thereof) also this isnt our first baby and Im not arguing with a pregnant lady.










  • The vast majority who wont take them up on it.

    If the per capita cost of deporting someone against their will is $10,000 and the cost of deporting someone consentually is $10,000 its still a win. Its just less work, every person who leaves voluntarily frees up the snatch teams to go after someone who doesnt.

    Everyone commenting that they wont pay or its all a trap isnt thinking about the optics and expense. Im not SAYING that they are wrong, or that the whole initiative ISNT evil (it is) but paying Ice agents, vehicles, camps, etc. All costs money (more than you would think) and makes you look like assholes (which they are). People deciding to pack up and leave on their own, withdrawing their savings selling their vehicles and leaving willingly on a plane costs less than the whole track down, round up, detain and deporting process and is considerably less bad for the optics.

    My grandparents fled germany in the 30s back when being Jewish was becoming dangerous but they were still content for you to just GTFO. I wouldnt be surprised if it was legit… Still fucking wrong tho.
