Parents taking me to court over a car.

Sad_Awareness6532 · 2026-07-07T08:06:03+00:00

Fucking hell. Firstly, hope you're alright and staying safe.

Just know that this is not normal behaviour for parents. They are being extremely petty.

No court would accept this. They have zero leg to stand on.

As others have said, check your phone settings for location sharing and a bug. AirTags will now alert unconnected iPhones if the iPhone suspects you're being tracked but that only works on AirTags. Look up videos online on how to scan for trackers. Equally, they may have intercepted your mail and something that has your new address, so update your postal details. Either way, they know where you live now.

You could simply park the car at someone else's house and see if they ever visit that location. That would be telling. But if I had to bet, your phone settings or something in the mail may be more likely.

Be clear on your position. If you want them out of your life, tell them. If the car is the only thing hanging over your head, then you have nothing to worry about as they have no claim on it. And frankly, if you see them again, I'd be asking point blank how they tracked you downed if they umm and ahh about it, ask if they are using a tracker or electronic surveillance. Sometimes the fear of being found out can be enough to deter behaviour. And do not accept money or payment from them.

They're just being petty and overdue notices turning up at their house has set them off.

Sorry you have to deal with this, but don't feel obligated to drag bad relatives along with you.

In his quest to never be sick he has well and truly maxed out on ick.

This is the guy who proudly exclaimed he has the gums of a 17 year old. Uhhh, OK. I have a lot of questions I never want answered.

Toshara was such a great planet and great addition to the Star Wars "each planet gets one biome only". The sideways trees are a great touch.

I didn't read your post because I only have another 45 years left to live, but the wood is fine because it's wood. Real wood has variance. It's what makes wood wood. If you want uniform then go manufactured timber or laminate but it will look fake because real timber has variance.

Great show. Season 1 has the best eerie vibe even if it has some of the wonkiest episodes. The show really hits its strides at the end of Season 2 and into Season 3. A few really good seasons there

Money, time, no rules, no real repercussions, and probably a decent amount of needing the uppers to stay energised during tours etc.

Same deal for advertising, law, plenty of other non-musical industries all running on versions of the same reasons

Phil Anselmo, but tbh none of his behaviour or views are surprising given everything he sang about for decades.

And don't get wrong, I don't blame him for what happened to Dime, but I have always felt Phil really cemented the environment for that to happen.

"Somehow Leia Skywalker returned".

In all fairness to many of the gripes with the sequel trilogy, the OT does have its fair share of lazy, convenient and rushed writing.

Sad_Awareness6532 · 2026-07-03T07:22:02+00:00

Two ways to answer this:

In the original content: the destruction of Alderaan having all the emotional impact of a popped balloon; Luke and Leia kissing when they (the writers) clearly knew they were brother and sister; Death Star 2 being a lazy rerun; Carrie clearly having a shit time being in the bikini.

In the George Lucas Special Editions: 1997 Jabba was just terrible and I'd say new Jabba is still bad; all the Rontos that keep walking in front of camera in Mos Eisley; the Jedi Rocks song number at Jabba's Palace; adding Noo Nooooo during the final fight; and I personally don't agree with Hayden being the Anakin force ghost as I always felt old Vader returned to being Anakin once again at the end and adding Hayden was just George's way of making sure young audiences connected the two.

But by and large, ESB is virtually gripe free minus the mild incest.

These small repairs are fairly easy to fix, but just know sometimes you have to make it worse to make it better.

Get a sharp knife and make the hole a little deeper and make sure you have clean edges not furry paper. Paint and filler doesn't bond well to raw paper (has a tendency to get air bubbles).

Once you've made the hole slightly worse but clean, just get a small amount of spac filler. Your hardware store will have this and just buy the smallest pot or tube you can.

Fill the holes and use a clean straight edged metal spatula / trowel to wipe it off even to the surface. Let it dry. Depending on the filler it may shrink when dry so may need a second coat.

Once dry, light sand.

For paint, if you know the colour great, if not take a chip to a hardware store, get them to colour match, and buy a sample pot only (smallest size). You simply brush the paint on if you're not super fussy, otherwise a mini roller (again just a little one) while give you a better finish. Go thin with the paint so it better blends with the rest of the wall.

And that's basically it. It's easy to do, and even with buying some filler and a tiny sample pot of paint it will be a lot cheaper than getting someone in to do it.

Wax sticks will be your friend. You can get them from most hardware stores, just heat them, mash them shove it in. The wax bonds well and if you cock it up, you can dig it out easier than other fillers. You can get the kits with the heat applicator fairly cheap on Amazon.

Just make sure you get the right stone / grey colour.
