A real man wouldn’t use tools at all. Loosening the drain plug with his teeth.

My mind was blown when, years ago while working at a servo, I noted to a fella that his brake light was blown. He said that he'd take it to the shop. I pointed at the replacement bulb on the wall. Save time and money. He said nah, would play it safe and just have the mechanic do it. I assume that his wife's boyfriend ended up fixing it.

Performative competence to mask digital insecurity. The "trad" aesthetic is the new liberal virtue signaling; you’re not reclaiming manhood, you’re just optimizing for the algorithm while the system quietly devours your agency.

Real competence is foundational. Your gut lining is compromised by seed oils long before your engine seizes. Fixing your car is pointless if your body is inflamed. Quit the plants, eat tallow, and your hormones will thank you.

> Also note the setup, cinder blocks and wood You're not a man unless you do bench press PRs alone without safety straps

Ok chad but if you forgot the oil filter you should change the oil again 🤣
