Fucking look at yourselves

None of you know a single god damn thing about practicality around the household.

If the toilet started to act up in the SLIGHTEST bit you'd willingly pay up the ass to fix it in a hurry.

I on the other hand, will start to learn just the basics about automotive, plumbing, general construction, etc. so I can be a functioning member in society when i move out of the house.

what's your excuse?

House chores, bro. But no, I don't know how to fix things but I'm willing to learn (and I do) when a problem arises. Course my mother gets the landlord to do it before I get to, and by then I'd already know and planned out what I would do.

I don't need to make excuses.

I'm literally a godamn landlord to 5 people.

>Automotive
Don't need that shit use public transport. Hooray europe.
>Plubing
So what unclogging the drainage is somehow difficult? You open the "s" shaped thing and clean shit up and then put it together.
>general construction
You mean like taking a drill and drilling a few holes inserting wall plugs and then sticking screws in?

Also how does a toilet act up? Do you mean like the cistern that holds the water or something?

Paying a mechanic/plumber/contractor would be contributing to the strengthening of the economy, thereby supporting society. Doing everything yourself deprives local companies of business.

Your self-sufficiency is at odds with what is best for society.

Modern cars there is not a lot to do apart from tyres, fluids, battery, radiator, air con and such.

Beyond that it's not worth the time as it's all electronics, they plug it into a PC in the shop and it tells them the problem.

Without the software and specialist gear your in the dark and likely to cause more damage than good.

I own fifteen acres of land in west Virigina. I have a small house practically off the map. I had to cut down a few dozen tree's by myself on the plot a few years ago. By just sustaining myself and my household, I already know I'm superior to baby OP living in the big city. But lets say hypothetically, that I can't do any of those things.

I can piss and shit outside, I have a multitude of tools in my workshop that I could relearn if I ever forgot how to use them, and if fixing my truck turned out too hard, It's only about an hour or two to the nearest town.

Sort of right. Things like cylinder timings, fuel/air mixture, etc. are controlled electronically. Even my 1993 Dodge Ramcharger has electronic controls. You DO have to fix that shit, but that boils down to "diagnose a fucked-up sensor, buy new sensor, replace sensor." I just got done doing that.

Most auto maintenance work is the same - replacing plugs, brakes, etc. But for the most part you can't "tune-up" a car they way they used to.
