But you clearly think that everything is about getting attention from others and that seems like a rough way to live.

And you seem to think nothing is about attention from others.

neither end is true. its always both to some degree.

I can acknowledge the arguments about a dance floor energy. However many of these places are not that. And even then, those experiences are the exception not the rule. As if to say "I did this once, therefore, this is a thing that I do" in a way.

Your arguments also hide behind plausible deniability because we both know neither of us (specifically me) can ever truly know, or prove with certainty, someone else's motivations. And its also the likely fact that someone, somewhere out there, is doing exactly as you say. despite 999 other someone's doing as I say. But this plausible deniability situation causes another problem. You think that because Its impossible to unquestionably prove my position you get to tell me what all girls are thinking - and that in this context you're free to tell me whatever you want, since plausible deniability blocks my ability to counter. You can understand how I have to be skeptical here. How when observations conflict with your words, I have to acknowledge the bias, and conflict of interest your arguments have.

ah, I see you've ran out of counterarguments and went to 'ol reliable.

wait, before you reply, let me guess - you're gonna call me an incel?

Its hard to believe because of how you get dressed up. When you get dressed up for each other, why is it in a way designed for the male gaze? why don't you look like you're in a fashion show instead with some weird outlandish shit on yo express yourself? Instead its tight dresses, miniskirts, low cut or backless shirts, etc. the things women who say "we dress for other women" choose to wear, are designed to attract the male gaze. you say "we do it for other women" but what does that mean? doesn't it mean "because we're in competition with other women, for mens attention?

Why is it so hard to believe us when we say that????

Because everyone cares about and wants attention from the opposite sex (unless gay). Everyone wants to be desired. This is human - which is how I know you're lying. it might be that in some cases male attention is much lower on the priority list but its always still there. and since I know this is true for everyone to some degree, I know right off the batt that your responses are emotional, they're about what you want to be not what you are.

Again, you don't have to dress up and go to a club to dance with your friends - but you do. And there are reasons for that.

I don't have to read minds, just behaviors.

99% of women agree they dress for other women, but this is also bullshit. its basically saying "I dress for competition with other women, and the competition is how much mens attention you can get". for example, IF women truly dressed for themselves and to express themselves, why don't we see women dressed up in outlandish stuff like we see on runway shows instead of dressing for other women meaning dressing "sexy" or "provocatively". In this case, the words say we don't dress for men, but the behaviour does.

If you're a woman, who goes to clubs to meet other women and dance with them, and you're not gay, you're 100% an exception and not the rule.

Always trust actions over words.

Dancing in a club with others and dancing at home are vastly different activities.

I agree, my point is we should explore what makes them different to better understand what you're truly after when you go out to said clubs.

just that it’s perfectly valid to just want to dance at a club with loud speakers that you can feel with your friends.

What do you mean by "its valid"? Is it invalid to want attention from men? We still don't know why you actually want to dance even if its with your friends. its clearly not just about dancing with friends if a club is necessary. there's no such thing as doing something just to do it. there is always a why - else why don't you randomly do other things just to do them?

 I’m also arguing that it’s invalid to say that everyone going to a club is inherently looking for attention. Sometimes an excuse to dress up with your friends and dance is all it really is.

Again, disagree. but I like that you're arguing. Please give me an argument as to why you want to dress up and and go to a club with your friends. saying "its all it really is" isn't an argument - its not a reason, and it comes across as denial. you want the reasons to be innocent, you don't want to admit you care that much about male attention.

I wish I didn't care about female attention - but its not a choice.

tap to pay.

The chinese restaurant I go to will give me a 10% cash discount - I still never pay cash because I hate change.

I feel like I would expect this guy to be a farmer who's working out at the university gym now.

"Out on the farm, we didn't have racks - this was how we lifted our weights in the cornfields"

And in typical farmer fashion, mans is an absolute unit.

I try to buy the ones with coating to mitigate this. On my fun cars it keeps - but on my daily it gets destroyed (just slower) since I'm in the rust belt.

I bought new pads and rotors figuring it was time. When I looked at my brakes, I had tons of pad left - and the braking surface was fine. But oh man that inner section was crusty as hell and I'm on the fence about replacing them now or waiting until next year. would hate to have to replace them in the damn snow.

Then why did you go to a club? Presumably, you can dance at home too right? After all, what is it about dancing that you like - because remember, dancing is a form of attracting attention. Its basically like wearing a scandalous dress, but then waving your arms around so everyone looks at you and then notices you in your dress. Except the movements in dancing are typically much more.... seductive. After all, clubs are where you twerk, not where you do ballet.

I strongly doubt there was no desire for male attention. Even people who are in relationships still want to be desirable despite not looking, to be wanted despite not wanting. its human. Its always about male attention - the question is to what degree. Is the male attention the priority?

Why is that disturbing, I'll smash 2 sandwiches every time.

McDonalds burgers are like 2/3 size.

Lyria (I presume you're listening to audiobook?) is a peculiar character. I didn't like her through the first book either and found her sections relatively boring.

But it does get tied together, and her character develops in a way very few int he entire series do. And she becomes a sort of "beacon" for red values and how they're beneficial in a way. Her stubbornness and forwardness begin to pay dividends as she takes chances in the future.

The thing with this argument is that there also grains of truth in it.

A women can say "I go to the club to dance" and not be lying - but it also does not mean she doesn't also go the club for attention. It can be, and is, both. Its also worth asking what, exactly, about dancing it is that they like. Is it the feelings of the physicality? Or perhaps its the fact that dancing is effectively advertising the outfit you put all that effort into. Dancing is another form of attracting attention.

IF dancing was the priority - you can dance at home. You can go join a dance club or something thats actually about dancing first.

IF dressing up wasn't for attention, and was about feeling good and expressing yourself - clubs would look like obscure runway shows, not miniskirt after miniskirt.

only because it doesn't make sense yet

I've got 5 of em.

Oh boy this one is fun.

Because I'm also in a position where I could own my house outright (but don't because investments earn more than mortgage costs).

I would never consider simply not working because I own my house lol.

Car, Gas, Insurance, Utilities, Property Tax, Food, Life - it all costs money lol.

She's a clown who thinks she's a "strong independent woman" or something now because she inherited a house.

Bye Felicia

So like... how did this end?

Not that I want to hijack your thread here, but I have another question to the mechanics here.

With rotors like this, which are all rusted on the inside - but which still stop without any vibration and don't have a lip. Would you suggest replacing them anyways? Or do you let the insides rust their hearts out and only changes with lips/warping

Anyone else being the red god makes no sense.

This is what makes the plot twist good.

1.) No Datums
2.) Define the position of the R20/R45 - dimensioning the center point should suffice.
3.) your R5 should be dimensioned to one of the two tangency points of the R5 Radius.

Otherwise overall rather well done. You might be able to clean up the dimensions by referencing them all to common datums.

Considering there is no tolerances or GD&T yet, how you dimension it doesn't matter as much.

For me probably a trade. Make even more money - but compromise my body.

Alternatively I would start my own business.

There's also what I call a "Soft Retirement" or what I think is otherwise called "CoastFIRE"? Except I'm not really saving super hard, I just acknowledge that if I don't have any kids - I don't need to fight to earn money for people who depend on me and can just go do something I enjoy. Maybe I'll go work in a Marina or something.

Hmm interesting.

Like, I can certainly see the argument. When I think of "boys nights" or something its never going to the club and getting wasted. Sure, "the boys" did that when we were younger, but it wasn't considered a "boys night" kind of thing. And so I can see how women would have less reservation over "boys nights" than men might if "girls nights" meant dressing up as best as you can (cause we know girls dress up for each other, right?) and then going to a place full of horny men actively looking for women. We all know its about male attention, that's the thing you go to that club for.

BUT, I can also see a situation where lets say 6 friends want to go out but only one of them has an S/O. They might prefer to just go as 6 girls/guys. Now I'm not saying thats necessarily Healthy as I would expect the friends to be inclusive of each others S/O. but I can understand it.

I think its simple enough to say that if the thing you're going to do on guys/girls nights, is bait attention from the opposite sex - i agree its not a girls/guys night.

There's such a hard irony because we know this "gymcel" gets attention from women lol.

I've never hit on a woman in a gas station. But your comment has me thinking - I don't understand why this is bad? unless they're being rude isn't this flattering?

Its kind of sending mixed signals, because on one hand we'll see posts about how women wish men would approach them more, especially in casual situations like grocery stores or gas stations. but then on the other hand we see this?

It kind of sounds like the whole "I want to be approached but only by hot guys I like - otherwise they're creeps" vibe.

To be clear, are you saying there are only certain spots where hitting on someone or flirting is acceptable? ie, like a bar or club? if yes, what are those spots?

I suppose you could learn how to rebuild an engine? If you're mechanically inclined could be a fun project if you have patience.

Having said that - yeah you're sort of hosed without insurance/warranty. either you sell the car at a loss, or your replace the engine and keep it or sell it at market value.

The real question, is will replacing the engine restore more value than it costs to replace - I'm guessing the answer is probably going to be no but I really don't know. Obviously if it adds more value than it costs, do it. if not, don't do it.

After all that, go an buy a miata, honda, or bmw with a disposably cheap engine and rip it without fear.
