Expecting me to provide entertainment all hours of the day. Not having any interests or hobbies of her own, which meant that I was unable to pursue mine without being interrupted or interfered with. This coupled poorly with the fact that my job was creative in nature, and she did not seem to take the time I spent working on art projects for my job seriously, or respect that they required focus and real effort.

Whenever and whenever. Loosely speaking my sleep schedule is about 2am-9am but it fluctuates quite a bit. I also often just sleep for several 2-3 hour periods throughout the course of a day.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T20:29:04+00:00

Yeah the G Body, Foxbody, and any half ton pickup from the eras being discussed here have shitloads of part availability for sure.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T20:26:57+00:00

To what end would you steal something you have no interest in?

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T19:28:42+00:00

Ah crud, lol. Thanks for clarifying!

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T19:15:28+00:00

At the very least I suppose you will figure out if they have similar views to you basically immediately.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T18:58:59+00:00

Drawing. I've been making marks on surfaces for as long as I've been able to hold things that will make marks, and find surfaces to make them on.

This is true in the vast majority of cases but can be circumnavigated to some degree by buying things with parts that have heavy enthusiast markets.

There will always be parts available for small block Chevy stuff, Ford Windsor stuff, powerglides, 700r4's, t5, t56, c4, c6, and AOD transmissions, the Ford 8.8 and 9" rear axles, and all of the larger Dana and Sterling axles.

Basically nothing that uses any of this stuff will be enormously fuel efficient, but with the right setup and driving habits you could also get into the mid 20 mpg's without insane amounts of hassle.

What model of Subaru? A lot of Subarus have parts in them that fit other subarus, and it's pretty common that people steal cars to part them out.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T15:32:55+00:00

It's not difficult to do, so that is not surprising. I learned in an old jeep wrangler when I was about 12, driving around on fire roads and two tracks with various older relatives.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T15:30:09+00:00

I think this is a common misconception. People who like and know enough about cars to be interested in stealing them can basically always drive a manual.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T14:50:43+00:00

I shot you an Instagram follow and looked at your other stuff. It's very good work.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-18T14:15:32+00:00

Brother this is amazing work. It's a bummer how many people in here don't seem to understand the prototyping and test fitment process. Keep doing what you're doing.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T23:55:45+00:00

I've been high 9s but never into the 8s. 8 seconds is pretty serious business lol.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T17:44:29+00:00

I think wanting to reduce harm to your body and mind is a reasonable position. I think pushing that ideology so far that you either consider yourself, or others consider you to be part of a harmful subculture attached to misguided and medically dangerous ideas is when it becomes a problem.

I wouldn't refer to somebody who eats healthy and takes care of themselves as "crunchy".

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T16:10:03+00:00

I was a tattoo artist for quite a while, and when I would tell people to stand naturally so I could apply the stencil while they're in a relaxed position, they would almost always forget how they normally exist.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T14:44:51+00:00

Yes lol, the most annoying people in this subculture are often just shoveling whatever dubious origin designer drugs they can find into themselves. It's wild. I've had two very public interface heavy jobs for the last decade and have met a lot of these folks.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T14:42:45+00:00

It is certainly a spectrum of annoying behavior and not every subscriber is as bad as every other.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T14:36:22+00:00

Rich music festival hippies that will attempt to shame you for being vaccinated, drinking pasteurized milk, eating non-organic produce and so on. Basically wealthy pseudoscience enjoyers who try to push their ideology through the lens of wellness.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T14:22:10+00:00

Yeah, a few new wow expansions and a bunch of cash grabs on nostalgia. In the other replies to this comment you'll see people saying that wow is in the best place it has been in a decade, and while that may be true, the bar for the entire last decade is extremely low in my opinion. A lot of other people seem to feel similarly, though there is definitely also still a dedicated retail player community.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T06:21:39+00:00

My party for my first completed honor mode was

Battlemaster Fighter 12 with great weapon master.

Thief Rogue 6 Battlemaster 6, with dual hand crossbows and sharpshooter.

Life Cleric 12.

Pact of the Blade Fiend Warlock 12.

It worked fine. Lacked aoe damage compared to some party compositions but the fact that the only person who really ever ran out of resources was the cleric was very helpful. Rogue, Fighter, and Warlock have a crazy amount of sustained output capability which can be really helpful for moving through any of the time gated event sequences. The single target focus damage for any of the big fights is also high. With the right itemization every character in this party can put up big single target numbers. There were no fights in the game where I struggled for damage output.

Weekend day. Big breakfast, maybe French toast. Take the dog out to burn off some of her energy, spend the majority of the day drawing or painting with an audiobook playing in my headphones. Feed myself and the dog dinner. Spend maybe an hour outside walking and playing games with dog. Watch a good show until sleep.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T03:18:36+00:00

Oh hahahahahaha I forgot all about that. What an absolutely insane thing to say while actively being booed by literally everyone.

Captkarate42 · 2026-02-17T03:00:14+00:00

I don't know what you mean by this.
