wish I was better at making interesting titles
Once gave a ride to a dude on Grindr that was leaving his abusive husband at 4am for similar reasons, didn't know the neighbors, didn't trust they wouldn't be violently anti gay.
Another time I was broke down on the side of the road and a dude came and hung out with me in freezing weather until the wrecker got there.
One other time I was broke down in a city an hour from home in a blizzard (I've had a lot of shitty cars) and a dude got me a hotel room for the night, no strings.
Grindr, and the gay community in general, can sometimes be really great places
Thanks for sharing - the gay community can be awesome sometimes!
This is only tangentially related, but in university, I became acquainted with the party gays, which meant I went to a few parties where there was plenty of drug use going on. I remember being initially very intimidated by this, but then realising how actually, I felt way less pressured to do anything than I would've done on a "regular" night out, with my mostly straight friend group. Additionally, I felt like people who I barely knew had my back, regardless of what intoxicants I may or may not have been partaking in on a given night.
Don't get me wrong, this kind of atmosphere can be one of the most pernicious aspects of the LGBTQ community, especially because the wider context of things acts as pressure in and of itself. However, I was blown away by the sheer wholesomeness I experienced in settings where I wouldn't have expected to find it (especially when I started university, shy and semi-closeted as I was).
The party gays can be super cool. They'll hook you up if you're into it, and just appreciate the trip sitter/designated driver if not. Haha
A faucet assembly contains nearly no screws.
Some may have a single hex screw holding it's handle in place. If the faucet has two knobs each knob may be held in place with a Phillips head screw.
But a flat head screw? Maybe to pry a cover off something, but for that you could just use a butter knife. Flat head screws are more commonly used on electrical faceplates and barely anywhere else.
?I have a flathead in my plumbing bag because sometimes those funny shaped nuts are so inconveniently located the only thing that will get to it is a really frigging long screwdriver.
Though if it's leaking...? From where? Won't shut all the way off or the drainage or around the faucet? I need more details.
Yeah I wondered the same thing.
Who doesn't have a flathead screwdriver at home? That's like a "Living 101" level tool
Yes, but even if you don't have one, everyone will have several dozen things which can turn a flathead screw/bolt with a bit of willpower.
That's kind of touching. I hope it's true.
