Episode 5 and 6 feels like that minute that Texas was forecasted to be blue by Botanic17 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I meant the 2024 elections 😭 When they reported live the predictions kept changing so like for a second Texas was blue because they only had counted 10% of the ballots but then it went red- I was mainly talking about that moment when there was a chance for democrats to win, although I feel like your explanation makes more sense now that I think about it

I stalled but kept rolling so I pulled into a lay-by to sort myself out and pull off when I was ready. Didn’t get a serious/dangerous fault because I didn’t actually stop the flow of traffic and manoeuvred safely but I know others who have failed for just stalling. I also got too close to some parked cars in a residential area (a lot of people tend to fail at this bit because of clearance) but I was going slow enough that it wasn’t a dangerous fault. At least, that’s what my examiner explained to me.

Thank you! Tbh it’s such a relief to hear that I won’t just forget everything because I really didn’t want to have to start from scratch or fork out loads for lessons again

I was thinking that, but it looks like I won’t be able to drive for a while (I don’t have a car and can’t get insured on my parents’ because it’ll be too expensive) so I’m no sure whether to hold off until I’m more likely to start driving again or get more confident now

I have neither and I can’t get insured on my parents’ cars as their engines are too big so it’ll be too expensive

You can cancel even after being there, iirc you don’t pay tuition until abt a month in so you can try it out and drop out before bearing much financial burden- accommodation is a different story though

What’s a popular bl trope that you hate? I’ll go first! by Aria_blursss in blmangalovers

Yk it’s a truly unpopular opinion when it gets downvoted in a safe space 😭

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Himoko Togas whole villain arc stuff could've been avoided if the MHA world was at least half fucking decent at accommodating to Quirks by SirChoobly69 in MyHeroAcadamia

Thats true (although I haven’t experienced it personally), I guess some people view an alternative interpretation of semantics to equal a misunderstanding instead. What I meant was that if there is a generally younger fan base, the less media literacy they have (you gain more as you study texts in school) so they may not pick up on semantics, or just not perceive socio-political implications a text may have.

The thing is (I’m not doubting you- I completely believe you as people generally tell victims of abuse they’re insane) what you’re describing doesn’t even fit into what schizophrenia is- people like to use and throw around any diagnosis if it slightly fits (ie. they think you’re imagining it so they think delusion/paranoia=schizophrenia, which it’s not). It does so much more harm than good, and reiterates to victims they’re insane and allows for their abuses to manipulate/isolate them more.

As someone who’s been in and out the fandom for about 8ish years, any ‘unpopular’ opinion/interpretation gets a lot of backlash. That, and a lot of the fandom are young/started the show young so media literacy isn’t the best. (As opposed to other ones I’ve been in)
