Self teaching myself on car maintenance

I guess I am in my car mechanic era of my life, lately I've just been more interested in cars esp my own and repairing and maintaining it myself. I never had good luck taking it to the shop so I figured it was a sign to just do most of what i can do myself. I also was never taught by my bio dad and… read more

Car buying 🥺

So all I’m hearing is: “petrol keeps going up, hybrids are complicated and have issues, electric is expensive to buy and need a specialist mechanic.” and “that one’s unreliable, just get something to get from A to B, you don’t need something big and expensive.” So does anyone have anything… (edited) read more

He says he doesn't need a mechanic to do the replacement because his dad has been wanting to sell it as is and hasnt replaced the steering wheel that is blown out, no airbag, because the hood of the vehicle flew at the windshield due to the owner not latching. He… read more

Before the reboots, there was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001). Playing as Edward Carnby with that iconic flashlight mechanic or tackling Aline Cedrac's puzzles on Shadow Island—the tension was real! Did you ever beat this one? Which character was your go-to? Let's talk classic horror!… read more

Dating

all i attract is broken people. lord, if im a mechanic just say that 😭

Help plz

Okay, so I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong on first dates. I think it's the talking about myself part. I've experienced a lot so I have a story for nearly everything and can relate to most people. But I think that it might be overwhelming for people on a first date to hear that I'm a… read more

My car broke down 2 days ago. I don’t have time to drop it to the mechanic yet. My baby sister who lives 30 mins away just took my spare key and drop it to the mechanic because it’s her day off without being asked to. That’s love. I have the best siblings 😭😭😭

Ugh...

Haven't been having a great time.. thought I'd finally met someone, but learned they were cheating and I got dumped. A mechanic robbed me, taking advantage of my situation. I owe the IRS. My cat died. My credit is tanking fue to all the financial hits I've taken. My new insurance wouldn't pay for… read more

Understanding the "Hardware" vs. "Software" of the Brain**

Understanding the "Hardware" vs. "Software" of the Brain** 🧠 Most people have heard of "Functional Neurological Disorder" (FND), but there is a big difference between a **Software** glitch and a **Hardware** failure. I’m currently living at the intersection of both, and it’s time to talk about… read more

Is the swipe mechanic broken, or is it just me? 🤔

Starting to think dating apps are just a social experiment to see how long a person can stare at a screen before questioning their entire existence. Either the algorithm is personally offended by me, or everyone is too busy touching grass. Which one is it? Drop your theories in the comments.

My mechanic a possum?

I had quite the morning today so I go to turn my car on to move it from the street sweeper but my car battery was dead. I call triple AAA to give me a jump but as soon he opens the hood he runs away and when I ask why’d he do that he said “there’s possums in there which is the animal below. So I… read more

Taaban, the forgotten Pokémon! :(

Few people seem to know it, but the original Pokémon game was, at first, going to have a mechanic where this pokemon could "fuse" with others, still seen in Slowpoke's case. Unfortunately, when the gaming cart proved too small for all 200 creatures, they had to cut some content, including this… read more

Explosions in entertainment media

So, for some reason, my disinterest in action movies is on my mind today, which led to me reflecting on one of the genre's most notorious tropes: explosions. I realized that, while I do think explosions are dumb a lot of the time, I don't hate entirely hate them. The thing that makes an explosion… read more

Life of a Mechanic

Tires at work today.

The Mechanic

Love, happiness, relationships— those are meant for others, not me. I’ve stopped pretending otherwise. I just keep the engines running. I’m the mechanic, the quiet pair of hands that fixes what someone else destroyed. I patch their cracks, steady their shaking, and watch them leave… read more

Comedic Musicians?

I've been enjoying Ian McConnell's nonsense songs recently (he just officially released a short but really fun one called 'Bangladesh' and there was also 'Mechanic' from a few months ago) and I wondered if anyone else had any other comedic musicians they liked. Brian David Gilbert's also got some… read more
