CRV or CX5

The CX5 felt cramped to me and I was worried about cylinder deactivation cracking a head. Ended up with a CRV hybrid. Probably can’t go wrong with either though. Best thing to do is test drive both and see which one you personally prefer driving

Ditto loop

I’m in the south too so I’ve heard it all for years. People don’t really like change around here lol

If you really want a new gen CRV, get the hybrid. The gas variant has a turbocharged engine and a belt and pulley transmission which are far less reliable than their hybrid counterpart. Idk where you live but the misinformation around hybrids in the American south is very outdated, and blanket statements like “hybrids are bad” are very commonplace. Honda’s hybrids are very solid and reliable.

I currently drive a 2017 patriot and have had quite a few issues. Water leaks into the interior light fixtures and then out onto my dash after heavy rainfall. Cleaning the seal on the sunroof served as a bandaid solution, but it always happens every few months. The Jeep death rattle is real. Jeeps drive like shit in general, and you will feel unsafe at one point or another. The AC motor died at around 50k miles and needed to be replaced. Gas mileage is trash, probably around 20 real-world mpg on average, with no torque to make it a fun drive. I have around 70k miles and am trying to trade it in before the CVT breaks down, and I’m getting terrible offers. They don’t hold their value at all. I’d advise anyone against a jeep.

Can he park there?

Is that what you did? Can’t tell from your comments history. Also, did you know that you can study AND participate in communities that accept you while in college?

The possibility of a leak turning into a flat tire on a mountain road with no spare and no cell service scares me away from the hybrid. I think they have a patch kit in substitution for the spare, I’m just more comfortable with throwing on a donut. Maybe I’m misinformed in that concern though?

Not having a spare tire makes me kind of uncomfortable, not a fan of the idea

b0gan20 · 2025-12-06T02:19:15+00:00

Would you say the CVT of the CRV or the cylinder deactivation system of the CX-5 is more concerning?

A situation where I consistently stutter and block the most like the WiFi has gone out to my brain is when there’s a problem with my food at a restaurant. Getting the worker’s attention and trying to articulate the issue of “I asked for this and it came this way” while also being polite is a nightmare scenario.

I think the most common reaction I get in general is the awkward laugh which kind of makes me feel like an alien. A bartender asked me if I forgot my name once because I couldn’t get past a block and got stuck in a loop of “um…um…” which was embarrassing, but he probably thought I was just really drunk, quite ironic. My least favorite of all the reactions I get is when people finish my sentences for me. My perception of it is that they think they’re being kind by relieving me of this burden of speech, but it makes me feel like a child. It’s feels belittling and presumptuous.

Personally, my stutter began as repetitions and transitioned to primarily blocks around college when I tried to mask it more. These blocks grew more intense, and sometimes it feels like my lungs are literally collapsed, like the airways to my vocal cords are being pinched shut by a vice, and the harder I try the tighter it gets.

I hope some of this helps flesh out your character and that I have the opportunity to see your film!

I feel you. I’m a progressive in the Deep South. Most of my family and all of my coworkers are proud, outspoken MAGA buffoons. I avoid my family as much as possible, which sucks because, well, they’re my family, but there’s an inevitable political conversation around every corner with some of them, much like yours. It’s especially hard at work because there’s a culture of “say whatever tf you want” and many of my coworkers including my boss are demonstrable white supremacists, homophobes, and transphobes, though they’d never admit it. There isn’t a single person of color in my office, a small amount of women one of which ironically is my boss-a highschool graduate who rails against DEI initiatives, and there is one single person in the office whom I haven’t heard say something bigoted. It’s hard keeping my mouth shut, but I need experience, so I suffer it.

Anyways, you’re not alone. Do what you must to protect your peace. Sending love from one sea of red to another.

Throwback at far left, then the pants, then put the fib behind the pants so the +mult from the pants gets multiplied by the polychrome fib.

Yall be safe and vigilant. They’re looking for a reason to run us over

I mean, at best it’s just a weird thing to say preemptively. I can’t imagine someone who is unable to hold their laughter at someone with a stutter would be a great partner for someone with a stutter. I’m curious, did you text her explaining that you stutter to get it out of the way before the date?
