People change. You can't make them change. You can try to talk some sense into them but if that fails, it might be time to move on.

I had a friendship for 20 years that blew up over childish stuff. It took me a while to realize it was the best because she a self centered, abusive person. And I also realized that she wasn't the same person I knew when we were growing up. I realized I didn't miss the adult, I missed the childhood friend I had and that person disappeared when she changed as an adult. Sometimes it's best to just let go.

Not much impact personally. I just read all the terrible implications of it online. Pressure in the professional world to use it, though fuck if I know what to use it for in this job. I don't like using it for my writing because I don't want to rely on something like that and because it's prone to errors.

Wish something that used a ton of resources would actually have a great impact to make it worth the waste.

Absolutely, op should apply. Worst they'll get is a "no." Better than not eating.

I've never actually bought one of those so I'll have to give it a try. I'd always gone with a Haynes or Chilton because it was all I knew about and it would have been more in my price range.

Depending on what you're working on you'll end up needing more tools. If it's something you'll do a lot of, especially if it's easy, then it's easily worth buying. Like if you plan on doing your own brakes, having a caliper spreader and in doing a tune up you'll want to grab a spark plug socket. You can also borrow tools from places like auto zone in it's a one time tool or maybe once every few years.

Having a good set of sockets, both metric and English. Someone mentioned an impact driver. Ramps, chaulks, car jack stands (never rely on just the jack), trouble light, pliers, some wire brushes, battery terminal cleaner, can of pb blaster, shop rags, a tub for catching your oil, a couple of funnels, oil filter wrench, vice grips, pry bar, breaker bar.... These are things that come to mind that I've used over and over again.

Some other things: A good copy of the Haynes manual for your car. Don't be afraid to make notes in it. An error code reader is always nice. And there are some things to consider like a heat gun which you can use on hoses and honestly is just good to have around the house. Having a good space where you can continue working if it gets rainy or cold is very nice. At least having some sort of portable canopy is handy. And don't forget to take lots of pictures along the way, especially if it's something new. So you phone with a good camera. A creeper is nice as well.

For a second there I thought this was for only fans videos. I'd pay not to see her nasty ass.

Something that interests him other than fascism. Idk why that has anything to do with a gift. A gift is there to show appreciation and love, not to manipulate their pov.

That's a rough one. I know a good place to start is anything large you buy, make sure you read the maintenance portion of the manual and make a couple notes.

Then I start asking myself about important things like "how do I make sure the plumbing doesn't get fucked? " or "how do I make sure the furnace doesn't die?" and I start googling.

Not a great answer but it helps. I recently realized I didn't give much of a thought to well pump maintenance and I've been down a massive rabbit hole on that one. I feel like you just pick one thing at a time and work on it and you learn as you go.

That's horrifying!

Kielbasa is cheap and tastes good. You can bake some potatoes with it or chop it into little pieces and put it into an omlette or slice it and make a stew with it and potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, etc. It's just something to add to the mix to change things up and as a single person you can probably use one for like 3 meals.

I've been there. I hope things get better for you.
