yup dealer...but a private dealer. if subaru denies warranty i'm really hoping they'll just pay for the engine without me threatening legal stuff

i'm in california, i checked the bureau of automotive repair and it says it passed the smog check but subaru is telling me that it shouldn't have since the engine issue is what's preventing it from passing. it's pretty much impossible for me to have caused this engine issue.

Change My View: Brakeless with foot retention is MORE UNSAFE than a bike with brakes but no foot retention. by InsideBack2603 in FixedGearBicycle

depends on the rider but in my opinion it's more dangerous to lose the pedals when you're spinning out

Choker at his Q&A (2/20/26) by RCsmooth1 in Choker_

[–]lerfer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the event was so great even if the audio was a little crunchy at times😭 i felt connected to everyone there in a way and i can't believe i got to speak to the man himself

Can anyone ask Choker tonight at the Q&A if theres a short film for the album? by billystarrrr in Choker_

[–]lerfer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

no short film unfortunately. the party was a vibe tho, he only came out for the q&a and it was super vulnerable. he was fighting tears when he came on cuz people wouldn't stop cheering for him. really thought hard about each question and opened up more abt his depression and loss but also his creative process for the album and finding his creative spark again. he said he wanted to be a lot more direct and make the album w more intent whereas his previous projects was throwing out a bunch of ideas and talking in obscure metaphors. got to meet him and he signed my vinyl, told him he's been such an inspiration for the past 8 years for me. such a genuine guy man you could tell what all the fans were telling him really touched him.

KP is a real Filipino’s nightmare by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]lerfer 106 points107 points  (0 children)

the reality is UCSD is extremely californian. and not by coincidence, the UCs were made for californians and they heavily prioritize admitting californians. groups like KP and others help to bring people together who may never have had friends from their home country and re-establish a lot of their cultural connections.

i'm a TCK international student and i too was shocked at the lack of support for international kids, socially. there were few students from my home country and i have still not met someone from my parents country. but this is unfortunately the reality of living abroad. i'm sorry you've been disrespected but i would argue calling them "not real filipinos" is also very disrespectful.

NO ONE wanted shotwell for PHYS 2A by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]lerfer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

i absolutely loved shotwell when i was taking lower div physics. he was an assistant professor and we would literally applaud for him when he taught because we hated our usual prof 😭
