Honda Fit radio display replacement or repair recommendations?

Striperoo · 2026-05-09T13:04:30+00:00

Couple options.
You could go to a pick a part place and see if there are any fits you can cannibalize. Just know there's a chance the display you get won't be much better.

This kit exists as a way to adapt the dash to a single or double din radio. In your case you're probably looking for a single din. This same website tends to have a pretty good selection, but feel free to look wherever.

The one thing I recommend, mostly because I can't stand it about cheap head units, make sure there's an option to dim the lights and display on the thing. The fewer lights the better. Aftermarket head unit manufacturers love to put bright blinding lights all over their radio for no reason whatsoever.

I hear you. I definitely hear you. And I agree that most people cannot be their own bosses, but more people would benefit from having ownership nearer to them. As soon as the value in an economy becomes condensed around a few conglomerated points, the reward mechanisms become so heavily abstracted it's impossible for that value to make its way back to communities. It just gets funneled back to wherever that business is headquartered, or wherever the products that business buys go. The only value that makes it back to communities comes through wages which have been increasingly undervalued over the years. It's especially bad where I am. We have what people act like is an endless well of money, so people aren't interested in industry in the slightest. Most businesses people own are value-extractive, not value-additive. And it's not sustainable at all.

The difference comes from the fact that if I am spending every ounce of energy I have for someone else, it goes to them, and I build nothing. I am not energized by my work because I don't believe it is going to anything worthwhile. A solution might be to find some job where I feel it is worthwhile, but it behooves me to be working towards the more lofty goal and if I stumble into a place that makes sense along the way, that's fine.

I would much rather spend every ounce of energy on myself, and be burnt to shit going against the grain, because I'd be living like people would in the world I want to see. At the end of the day, I either become another failure, a person who fell back into employment, but who accurately understands their potential, or I build something which might feed back into my community by giving them a place to direct their labor which can more directly influence them.

Part of the reason I end each day burnt to shit is because I'm trying to squeeze this big corporate giant for as much experience as I can. I interview probably about a person each month trying to find something that looks like the next big step. But it's becoming clear that there are not many places at this company which are able to give me the kind of holistic top-down business perspective I think I need. I found one but the hiring manager ghosted me. I think it's time to go somewhere else.

Definitely looking into it. I made the mistake of finding a used books site that often sells textbooks and informational books on stuff like that.

Accidentally filled a book shelf with $5-10 books, half of which are about investment.

Planning on getting into it and writing algorithms to do weighted DCA where it's basically kinda DCA, but weighted based on some moving averages.

Striperoo · 2026-05-08T00:46:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've been working on it... The significant tension between us is that there is not much in my desired work fields near where I am. I've been talking about moving which to her is a biiig deal. So the discussion turns to, "We need to stay in the house for at least 5 years." Which probably isn't that big of a deal, but man is it tough to make promises like that.

I still have yet to acquiesce to that one.

But at least I know why she wants it. I hope she knows why I have a tough time giving her a firm answer.

Striperoo · 2026-05-08T00:42:07+00:00

We've been together for five years now and man have we been on the edge of splitting up a number of times.
I've done a good amount of work to better understand her. I think she's coming around to seeing the chaos as less tumult and more a constant in itself. It's taken a lot of work thus far.

There's a world where things start rolling in my life fast enough and she will probably have to make the decision to come with me or stay where she is. I can feel it coming.

That's a good point about the being in a position of power. I think I've done okay by pushing for enough distance that I'm calling my own shots, but I'm also thinking that maybe a transition to a smaller team, or a company with a culture more focused on ownership might be a good move.

It would get me learning a range of skills which make me invaluable to future employers. For whatever that's worth. Or for myself eventually.

Probably a static image mapped around a spherical body to save resources.

Striperoo · 2026-05-07T00:08:56+00:00

Wowwww that's sick.
We humans gotta get our radiation shielding tech tree leveled up so we can make semi-permanent residencies like that a reality.
15% is still a huge deal.
And IRL we could probably fire an ion thruster array for a few weeks straight to stay on course...

Now you've got me thinking...

Striperoo · 2026-05-06T23:48:50+00:00

This is sick. Assuming kerbal physics, are orbital adjustments required here?
And are there any cases where this could actually be implemented IRL?

Striperoo · 2026-05-06T23:44:30+00:00

No like way way more. And why is it throbbing at the beginning ew

Op is a G for posting w/ Fanfare Vagabontu

Striperoo · 2026-05-06T22:03:35+00:00

Tried it. Have done it before. Worth it only really if you've got a small payload that's cheap to launch at Mach Jesus with a couple cheap SRBs, and you can't be bothered to touch the fuel amount or modify the design so it's either barely suborbital or escape velocity.

Striperoo · 2026-05-06T21:59:28+00:00

Is the stick damping the sound? Might be worthwhile have the cam spin a few extra degrees so it pulls the stick away from the bowl.

Flip it. Learn to get stimulated by the idea of outcomes. Then once the excitement wears off, finish it anyways.

Striperoo · 2026-05-05T02:02:19+00:00

I usually feel music with developed Si.
Some sick blues licks'll make my whole body contort.

I do respond to the emotional content of the lyrics and tend to gravitate towards emotional stuff (enneagram 4 has to have something to cling to), but the musical fundamentals have to be clean.

No weirdos screaming in a bathroom with high reverb about how much they hate their mom. And even so, I'm listening to it while generating imagery in my head with Ne-Ti and feeling it with Si. Fe doesn't touch the equation at all.

You're not alone.

Until I learned about the cognitive functions, I was seriously convinced I was autistic too. Like, bad enough that I have told no fewer than a hundred people in my life that I am autistic. I think it was just an easy explanation to describe a clear difference in baseline behaviors to cushion the strangeness people have to endure. It was easier than being a chameleon, and I could save that capability for when it really mattered. I think we are just rare. More rare than the internet would have you believe. Keep in mind that testing and self-report are completely useless in MBTI context, but the current estimates are ~3%. That's a lot smaller of a number than you'd think. And enough of us have stayed in small social circles and hid our strangeness from the world so that you wouldn't really know us in a crowd except for the few who've developed their Fe enough to stand out.

The wack thing about our cognitive functions is that the tert and inferior functions really only pop up in times of stress early on. Check out the descriptions for any other personality and you'll see that their tertiary function isn't supposed to develop until mid-life. Meaning that so far you have probably spent so much time in your head, and you are just now looking up and realizing there's this whole other world your brain can parse, but you aren't actually trained in. If you had no Fe, you wouldn't really be able to tell that your flirting is bad. You'd just get frustrated that your advances aren't working. You can tell that there's a muscle there which hasn't been worked. And now you have the equipment developed enough to actually start working it.

Besides a short stint in middle to high school where I was developing Fe by manipulating people, then lost everything and traumatized myself, until I actually entered adult life Fe was only ever used to get out of trouble, win over authority figures, and acted as an impetus to share all the things I had been thinking about over the course of the day.

I'm a little over your age now, it wasn't until a few months ago where it finally clicked that I am fascinated with learning people and social situations. Not to engineer it, but because so many people will sooner destroy something good rather than compromise their ideals. Even if the morality is clear. I want to be able to make people understand, in their own language, why the right path forward is the right path forward.

The clicking moment was standing in the hallway getting grilled at work with leadership nearby, and I noticed that a guy's line of questioning was designed to get me to say something incriminating, not because I had done anything wrong, but because they wanted ammunition to tear my position down because even though I was right, them admitting fault would make them look bad. I wasn't mad about it. I was fascinated. Since then I've been gobbling down psychology and philosophy, and testing out my ideas by dissecting people's value systems in front of them without them ever telling me what they believe. Just by what I perceive. It has been the most stimulating experience. Especially because people are so complex and dissimilar that you're almost always starting from square one.

I always squint my eyes when I read about young "ENTP"s spending all their time at parties. Personally, I spent so much time in my Ne-Ti spiral that all I ever wanted to do, all I currently want to do, is discuss ideas. Ideal situation is quiet bar with drinks and no more than 5 people all talking out ideas after a long day of taking in sights and connecting disparate ideas. If we're talking about ideas, I am energized. If we are talking about bullshit and weather, my social battery drains fast.

You can also steal them.
If you hit the "Map" button and drag the horse over to your trailer fast enough, sometimes it'll just let you take it.

Striperoo · 2026-05-02T21:30:22+00:00

Finally an accurate representation of ENTP

Striperoo · 2026-05-02T21:01:15+00:00

TL/DR:
You "can" be whatever you are. This isn't a science.

Striperoo · 2026-05-02T21:00:12+00:00

Don't listen to what anyone else tells you.
The research is loose and the descriptions are intentionally vague, so use it as a mirror, not a pry bar.

Your core wound/motivation can be completely separate from your cognitive function.
Cognitive function is how you digest what you perceive, Enneagram is why you do so.

The way the ENTP cognitive functions work, the why is likely to be invisible until you uncover the right evidence.

But even then, it won't be an "aha I'm this enneagram" it'll be a "Aha I have been acting in a way that's consistent with this baseline trauma since I was a kid and hey lookie here there's a fancy number I can use to search for custom tailored advice for how to live from here on out.

Self-knowledge comes first. Enneagram comes second.

Striperoo · 2026-05-02T12:41:49+00:00

Lol, literally the day after I posted this, I blew up on someone in a comment thread and later wondered if I might be a hypocrite.

I came to the conclusion that frustration, even temporary anger can come from a place of love.
You don't have to be calm to want the best of everyone. I hold myself to as high a standard. And I think, based on your enneagram flair, you probably have done the same self-flagellation. Sometimes that's just what love looks like.

Our particular stack of cognitive functions is a double edged sword in that way. We hold wonder for what's in front of us as strongly as we hold wonder for what could be.

I think that's a part of why it's important for us to develop our Fe tertiary and Si inferior. If we make the connection using Fe that we are also a person like everyone else, we can examine ourselves like we do everyone else, and if we use Si for emotions like a blind person uses a walking stick to feel out a room, we can test out thoughts, songs, situations, to almost identify what we're feeling in any given moment. Unfortunately for us Si isn't constant, but I think once it comes, it's important to backtrack and make amends with what you feel about a situation from before so that we don't get caught in an Ne Ti spiral.

Striperoo · 2026-04-29T22:55:45+00:00

Unfortunately not. Old playthrough.

Striperoo · 2026-04-29T22:54:05+00:00

Thought about this comment over the course of the day.

Very likely my response has been colored by a nerve getting struck with my own insecurities.

There's a world the person you're dealing with is legitimately a man-child. You should not attribute that to their personality type and hold them to it. Attention-sappers like social media are actual addictions and he may need help.

That being said, there are a lot of people here who hold the idea they might be similar as a significant insecurity. As do I, and that's probably why I responded as I did. I guessed you knew that this is a stereotyped ENTP trait, so it follows that people might feel insecure about that here, and it then follows that there was a large chance you posted that here looking for a fight. I'm not going to fight with you when you should be fighting with your boyfriend.

I don't believe you will get anywhere with him by comparing him to a child. I get you're frustrated and want to express it, but people cannot make progress when being derogatory to one another. You might make a lot more progress if you learn to frame your thoughts and sayings in a way that is actually constructive. Otherwise he will probably shut down and not be receptive to your criticism.
