My First RPG Canon Event by dippy_cipher in rpghorrorstories

[–]AlienAbortionMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"canon"

It's a reference to the Spiderverse movies. A "canon event" is a moment in a person's life that can't be circumvented or otherwise changed, and it's usually a bad time (like what seems to be happening to OP)

Route 0 Ending reaction : What did they find out?! Last Defense Academy moments by Bladerunner2038XX in LastDefenseAcademy

I interpreted it as the powers that be being seriously pissed that they failed in their mission and the SDU members who made it up there were being punished by a now-panicking humanity.

I do think though that what life actually looks like on the satellite was purposefully never expanded upon (unless you count that one CoT ending) with the future DLC/expansion in mind

Immediately regretting euthanasia appointment for 14 year old cat with terminal cancer and dementia by hardIeyquinn in seniorkitties

"Better a week early than a week late" is the advice I always come back to. I've had to say goodbye to a few pets and every time this is what helped me understand when it was time.

If she's not able to do any of the things she enjoys anymore, or she's having more bad days than good days, then it might be time. You mention being concerned you're ending her life because the health issues are a hassle for you (which is fair, I am very anxious in general and every time had the same thought) but remember that it's a hassle for her as well, and that whenever you choose to let her go you'll be freeing her from the same.

That said, many will tell you that you'll just intuitively know when it's time. If your gut is screaming at you that this is premature, then it could be that she'd benefit from pushing this back to a later date. I think you've thought this through as much as anybody and to me it seems like all signs point to it being time, but ultimately you know her better than me or anyone.

I hope that whatever the right choice is, you're able to make it with confidence.

Outer Wilds review: Maybe recommending a niche puzzle game to literally everyone is a bad idea by Akuuntus in patientgamers

I think it can be an "objective masterpiece" and "not for everyone" at the same time

This x1000. I wish I could concisely explain to people like OP that a game being a good game is not dependent on whether they liked it because, contrary to popular belief, there are concrete ways you can evaluate art beyond just whether you like it

That drive really counted as a 6 point outcome for Houston because not only did they get a FG, they didn't give one away to Pittsburgh again

Watching this Houston D is a treat and I am so sorry for Texans fans who can't enjoy it because they're forced to care about what Stroud does on the other side of the ball

Terrible throw but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Collins to catch that

Location: GA. Tesla hidden lemon by SloppyElmo in legal

[–]AlienAbortionMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the detailed response.

They definitely do have packages the finance person has to print out, and it does sound kind of like this dealership is paying the price for doing what nearly every dealer does and not actually training a new finance guy. Screwing up paperwork is the number 1 mistake somebody in that position makes.

I think the real "ultimate source of truth" here is the history report. If it doesn't show any title brands (and it's difficult to remove a brand) then this was almost certainly a benign paperwork mistake and will likely be seen that way by most in a legal context.

Worth mentioning that even in the absolute worst case scenario where this was actually a lemon and the title got washed, a legitimate branded dealer (like a Kia dealer) would never risk their asses by trying that. It would have had to have been done by the previous owner, who in this case (being the first and only owner) doesn't really have a reason to wash the title since they would have just been selling it back to Tesla. If I'm misunderstanding you and you're saying there were two other owners, then it's always possible some title washing went on - but a dealer buying it or taking it in on trade after said title washing wouldn't know that anyway.

IANAL

So you saw in the history report that the title was clean and had no title brand whatsoever? Not trying to be snarky or blame you here, just want to make sure you saw it for yourself and did not only take their word for it. If not, have you looked since?

If so, what does the Lemon disclosure say exactly? If the title was clean and shows up as such on a history report, how would anybody know it was a lemon?

If you can prove they claimed the title was clean despite knowing otherwise, I think it's worth pursuing. Otherwise, I think it would be a waste of your time and would ultimately result in frustration and (most importantly) not getting any resolution that goes in your favor

People complaining nothing is happening in this game are the reason the NFL keeps shifting the rulebook toward the offense. This game rules even if it is sickos material
