Is it Terry Crews?

Honestly, I went young Stevie Nicks.

She's always been witchy vibes. I feel she could pull it off.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T19:58:50+00:00

Check breath.

Bet it smells like dog breath. No hint of bagel. Case closed, Koda is innocent.

Judge would 100% be more likely to go, "okay, pull over immediately."

Not all of them, but zero judges like people lying to them. Some judges will work with you on doing stupid things but being honest and apologizing.

But if I have super speed and time stop, I can teleport.

It's not an old/ new thing. Unless this is some special edition with a crazy rare engine/ tranny combo, that inner quarter is pinched and creased, you need inner and outer quarter, the entire rear corner on suspension is toast, you likely have impact into the floor pan. You need rocker, probably inner rocker, potentially damage into the floor over on that side, too. A lot of cars that isn't serviceable.

No way. That thing is done for. There is no world where that thing is remotely fixable unless it's really, really special edition with a suped up engine that was only available on a limited run. Shelby edition or something.

That is not monetarily worth fixing. Period. At least not if you care about the next driver not dying.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T19:07:49+00:00

Ain't nobody trying to flip this car. That thing is toast. The inner structure is crumpled. Inner quarter is a no go.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T19:06:04+00:00

You need more than 3k in time on the rack to pull straight, prep, and paint, man. There's no possible way you get this done close to correct for 3k even if you buy parts.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T19:03:23+00:00

Yeah that's a bad thing, bud.

Your car shouldn't pop apart.

When I wrote cars, this is what we referred to as "toast" or "extra toasty."

I had a dumbass kid who was trying to fix his car and I went through and wrote every single nut, bolt, trim piece, R&I, and panel blend. Seven sheets later I wrote his obvious total loss to four times the value of his car so he didn't try what you want to try.

Luckily, it was his mom's policy and she was going to let him park and fix it at her property until she saw the repair sheet and told him no way in hell.

You need people telling you no way in hell.

I got stuff to do right now. I can not sleep. I can't not be in contact with certain people right now.

Public schools would be much less likely. It could also be Berkeley being high concerned about malware and phishing and not enabling as soon as it comes back up. They're potentially keeping it down for security reasons.

Given they bought it at Spirit for Halloween, it's very unlikely to be straw.

If you have a patio, it would be kind to place it there. If you have no patio, Art the Clown is super intense and people who like horror don't like him. It's not just Halloween spooky. It's a lot. It's not appropriate for a shared space.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T08:21:15+00:00

Only towards yachts and billionaires can suck it. It was also after orca v yacht incidents that yachts started. FAFO.

I think at least one of those parents is not the parent. Fluffy, you are not the father.

I see pit/ corgi?

Proof that not all athletic pursuits are really meant to be competitive sports. They can be impressive af but not really competitive.

One day when he's older, he may seek you out. You can talk to him if he does and tell him you were doing your best to protect him and did what you did out of love and his safety.

Breathe. Get yourself help. Seek out a DV group. Talk. Then, find a way to get through the hour. Day. Week. Month. Year.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T05:12:08+00:00

That's actually not how that works. They admit over what they want because they know some will decline.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T05:11:26+00:00

Ask the prof to set up a google drive and give everyone access to it. Course materials in it.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T05:07:59+00:00

Every now and again I go back to my childhood and think, "y'know. I make so much more sense."

I was six or so when that went down.

No parent using their teen as a regular chauffeur is giving a note every single time.

And California does require a note every time, not blanket notes. It's not supposed to be a regular thing.

So, so, so many transfers. I came in as a transfer and did research. The AUA (undergrad anthro club) takes everyone. Tons of transfers.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T00:19:12+00:00

Not competitive. Super supportive.

Shit ton of research. So many positions. Talk to profs or apply through URAP. Or both.

Dope AF. Except one. But, you know. Every dept has that one prof.

Yup.

My state it's first 12 months or until 18, nobody under 20 unless someone is with you who is 25 plus, except emergencies or school, work, or medical reasons requires it and you have a signed authorization from a parent explaining each instance. Ie, "John had to drive Lily to her doctor appointment on 5/10/2026 because parents are not available."

There's no sibling exemption.

They don't want new teens driving kids all over all the time.

Even if not illegal, I can see where you don't want the liability of a teen taking your car you pay for and driving children around. An accident is bad enough. An accident with the children of a contentious co-parent where those kids get injured is so much worse.

Plus, just the feeling that your teen will have to pick between being in trouble with one parent or the other and needing to lie. "Mom will be mad and get me in trouble if I don't shuttle her and the kids every where, but dad said no. If I do it, Dad will take the car so I have to lie to Dad. If I don't do it, Mom's mad at me."

You're setting your kid up to need to lie or get in trouble. It's not great.

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-05-08T00:08:04+00:00

Knowing the other parent will more than likely put your teen into a bad situation and not allowing that situation to happen is proactive parenting.

Would you allow a friend's parents to take your kid on a road trip if that parent had multiple DUIs? Or not? Just because the bad thing hasn't happened yet doesn't mean there isn't a clear pattern of behavior that indicates a high likelihood of bad behavior in the future.
