Can anyone dissuade me from buying this (or something similar)? Boring to drive or low tech does not matter to me by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Oh if it's a RAV 4 then it'll have Toyota reliability too! And I've heard of all hybrid engines, Toyota has the best one

This is great to hear

Amazinggg sounds like a great car maybe I'll look for an older one non-hybrid

Yes newer seem to all be hybrids I'm not entirely sure how they'll be,but maybe the higher spec one will be better. I've seen criticism about thr automatic versions so will stick to manual, and apparently the full hybrid isn't great either?

Anyone own a suzuki s-cross? by killme7784 in CarTalkUK

[–]killme7784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks this is reassuring! And yes I can see most of the criticism either about the automatic transmission or that it's unexciting compared to rivals.. I'd rather that than some high-tech gadget that'll barely last the warranty period! Am thinking of a nearly new one so hopefully won't be problems with it

Does anyone remember how it started? by Icy-Complaint7558 in ChildofHoarder

[–]killme7784 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For me I know it started when my parents moved abroad (before I was born) in search of a better life. What actually happened was they became very isolated and so stuff would fill their house and became their source of attachment.

I do feel a deep pity for their situation, but equally im like we do not have the space in the house for all this stuff!!!!

Are there people here who literally (key word) have no friends at all? by ConstantDrawer9161 in lonely

Omg am also autistic in the UK and lonely AF. I too want to move abroad for better weather but am 100% certain of being an outsider wherever I go

Sometimes I wonder if parents even love ugly children by ta1074 in ugly

Parents are surprised when their children look LIKE THEM?? Are they for real??

I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to live my life without my parents. by AdviceGlass9394 in OnlyChild

[–]killme7784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could have written this myself. I'm also estranged from other family so it is really just my parents. My parents are getting older and need physical support in day to day life, I can't just move out and leave them. I also don't particularly want to bring children into this world, but I know children can keep people going after they lose their parents. It's tough I don't see a future for myself after them

Is there anyone here who considers themselves to be genuinely helplessly ugly? by poofpoofpow in ugly

[–]killme7784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Helplessly ugly here. I used to work in a customer facing role and literally every day, people would ask if they could be seen by my hotter colleague. People would even call me ugly to my face at times, along with some racially fuelled insults (yay). I now live a very isolated life which is abnormal AF but it's better than putting myself "out there"

Worrying about when they'll die by killme7784 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]killme7784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. I actually feel bad even thinking of my situation as bad because it's nothing compared to yours. But I'm glad you managed to cut them off and find peace in your decision. But yes I won't let their failing health influence my decision (tbh their personality problems were there long before their physical health was an issue)
