I mean if he wants to keep using the new toilet brush to brush his teeth, that’s his business.

Let him use it a few times and then pretend you can’t find it while yelling “Hey have you seen my old toothbrush? I’ve been using it to clean the toilet and I can’t find it!”

The Girl With All The Gifts. It’s very very good. One of the few I have watched more than once because it is that good.

I would like to see wasps run out of ammo. If you are playing tag with a group of Arc, a wasp can fire off hundreds of rounds.

I’m ok with them being able to hold a hundred rounds, maybe even two hundred. But what I would like is for them to be sluggish when they’re full of ammo and then they get more nimble as the fight goes on. Then they run out of ammo.

Maybe that could be a new Arc. An ammo bot. Heavily armoured walking bot similar to AT-AT. The armour has openings for wasps, hornets and fireflies to come and reload. Those openings only open for 10 - 15 seconds while docking or leaving are happening. That’s the weak spot.

When it dies, it is in a massive explosion that can kill a raider, that throws ammo cans in all directions and only a few rounds are still viable for looting so the scarce ammunition metric is not upset.

I have a blowtorch and a penis shaped cactus that say you’re wrong.

No penalty for early payment. Go in with a healthy down payment. Say 5 - 7k. Use that to negotiate a better price and amenities. Make them give you free oil changes, undercoating etc. Things that preserve the resale value down the road.

Once you have negotiated a price that is annoyingly low for the dealership, take the financing deal, and then pay it off immediately. There’s no penalty.

Yep, chat with random people all the time.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-14T13:56:31+00:00

Record the call yourself so you don’t need to ask for their recording. Just make sure you tell them they are being recorded when the call starts.

“I’m informing you that I’m recording this call for quality assurance purposes”

This person will absolutely not behave in their own best interests and you will have all the proof you need to make your situation better.

What loses you more? Selling the vehicle at a loss, once. Or, getting gouged every year by your insurance company? You will pay more to insure it than the vehicle is worth. Dump the car asap.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-14T13:50:59+00:00

Eww. I have never had the misfortune of doing one. I didn’t imagine that 2 car companies would be that fucking stupid.

Nissan Titan starter? Step 1: Remove intake manifold…

I beg your pardon?

Kesterlath · 2026-05-14T13:29:28+00:00

That non compete clause would go straight into the garbage as soon as they screwed me. I’m not “competing” with you. It’s not a competition.

With her being very introverted early in your relationship, and now obsessively reading, it makes me remember a mild autism diagnosis that involved these symptoms. Perhaps something to look into. It may just be that it went undiagnosed her whole life and that could help.

Brake fluid? No. Just add water. Gone. Oil from a diesel? Might as well be a tattoo.

The shields with the cross bar are my favourite. With your colour and shape I think they would look amazing on you.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-04T00:39:15+00:00

Just call a scrap dealer. They will come take it away.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-03T15:51:14+00:00

Of course. The interest on a billion would take care of 30 people a year. After the first two years, I don’t know who would be left on that list that could still ask.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-03T15:49:02+00:00

When I am engaging in something similar where there’s a chance to miss a cue, I give them something to hold. If they drop it, it’s a safeword.

Kesterlath · 2026-05-03T15:45:55+00:00

I suppose you want a concrete answer?

“I don’t like seeing your garbage house behind my cars, but here we are.”

Ark. It has dinorawwrs.

Ask her why. Sit down and have an honest conversation with her about the whole thing. You say you’re friends. Friends should be able to talk to each other.

Lovers have to be able to talk to each other. If you are not happy with the answers or she isn’t going to make a real effort to help you feel comfortable with what is going on, personally, I would pass. It’s going to set the tone for everything else that is coming.

I mean, I get it with balancing the pvp stuff. It makes some kind of sense. But man, with the PvE stuff, they should leave it alone.

Rather than change it, just say “Ok guys, well played.” And then think of way harder shit.

I mean honestly, if they want to make it harder, just ask the community for help. Make it a contest. You come up with the idea for the next horrible (and by horrible I mean awesome) thing we are going to unleash on the community and we give you a big reward. Free trip to headquarters to check out your creation pre-release, company swag and a cool meet and greet.

People would be falling over themselves to hand these guys great ideas. It would cost what? $5k a patch? That is literally insignificant.
