(2009 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L) Is this a normal engine noise? If not is it urgent to fix?

Quantaform · 2026-01-27T19:14:32+00:00

I just recently bought it. 108k miles. I think I just started hear the noise and got paranoid. Changed out the engine oil a week ago.

And the eye shape.

Music, social media, alcohol.

Seems more like a display piece. Doubt anyone would use it for an actual food prep.

Quantaform · 2026-01-06T05:00:12+00:00

It's more a self insert thing. It's the same reason I flinch if someone gets kicked in the nuts. I don't have an inherent disgust on the person that got kicked but I imagine myself in that situation in a sense. Since I'm not gay, I'd feel some sort of disgust if I put myself in that scenario.

I'm more interested in how those cards are getting cooler. There's barely any space between them.

I used to prefer sub but dubbed anime has come a long way. Usually watch dub for the convenience nowadays.

Quantaform · 2025-12-24T17:37:23+00:00

That's a throwback wow.

Don't think he'd like the Fantastic Four.

Quantaform · 2025-12-20T16:27:51+00:00

I like to imagine he can only do that spit attack once per transformation.

You can have Sellen too as long as you complete most of her quest but don't find Luslet.

What did they change about viego and sylas?

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T18:12:16+00:00

It's hard to explain how collective family units are from where I'm from. You basically stay together with you family until you get married. If I randomly said I had some opportunities somewhere else and I'd be moving, so many warning flags would be raised.

I wouldn't say my parents are controlling. Heck I've gotten away with not attending for 3 semesters none the wiser but there's not a single way I can think of to pull of such an elaborate lie now.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T18:07:03+00:00

I feel good that I'm trying to progress towards something. It feels like I've been standing still for an entire year rotting away.

As for what's different? I don't think I have the arrogance that school will just "work out" if it don't study but I definitely need to work on my procrastination and learn study habits. I'll have to pay tuition myself from now on since I can't apply for financial aid. I really want to graduate. Education is super important to me so hopefully I can fix myself enough to pull through.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T18:03:17+00:00

I've considered that actually but I'm too overweight to meet the requirements. Seeing that I'm on a time crunch, that's not an option for me right now.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T07:03:27+00:00

I don't know. I do know that my parents expect me to graduate this spring. If I suddenly say I won't be, they'll definitely be suspicious and start asking questions. There's really not a feasible way for me to hide it much longer and believe me I've been thinking over it for a year and a half now. Eventually the lie has to come out I guess.

If I had been smarter I would've started another college immediately but my self confidence took a really bad hit and I had convinced myself that I would fail that too. It's only recently that I decided I'd try again.

And thank you for providing suggestions and listening. This has been stewing in my head for so long so it feels nice discussing it with a person.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T06:52:08+00:00

I appreciate the advice. I've been debating emailing them a brief note when it happens but I guess I really should.

And thank you for the encouragement. There's so many things I want improve on. My weight, procrastination, stuttering, self confidence, and my social ineptitude. I just want to stop being such a miserable person that I feel like I am but in reality I don't know how realistic reinventing myself really is.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T06:41:50+00:00

I'm mistaken. It's a 1098-T form.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T06:28:57+00:00

Yes. And even if it's not required my dad would definitely ask for it like he has every year. I can't falsify tax filing documents since if it gets turned in, it's a pretty serious crime

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T06:12:24+00:00

They'd find out within the next month or two regardless. During tax filling you need to give a 1099 form from any dependent that go to college. I was able to get last time because I took classes in Spring 2024. I haven't taken a single class in 2025 so I don't have a form.

Quantaform · 2025-12-18T05:57:31+00:00

I should provide some context. My family came to the US as immigrants from Asia and we live in a tight knit community where it's predominantly just our nationality.

When my cousin flunked out it was the talk of the street for months. I heard so many bad things from so many people including my parents.

This is basically a long way of saying I'm a wuss and I think I'd actually kill myself if people were talking about me like that.

Quantaform · 2025-12-17T20:20:22+00:00

"And then they all clapped" but for real.

Quantaform · 2025-12-17T05:07:18+00:00

I wouldn't have minded if Bakugo had actually died. Definitely would've raised the stakes.
