#EXIT THE VEHICLE

[adventures-in-the-closet]

My favorite thing about Barbie (2023 dir. Greta Gerwig) is that when Gloria decided to track down the beautiful woman she saw being taken away in unmarked black vehicles and liberate her from not only her employer but also the FBI, she had NO plan. She rolled up to Mattel's front door and had not thought it through beyond "find her."

No plan, just gay thoughts

some dumb cunt was sitting just parked in the middle of the fucking road texting. no hazards or anything. just parked there. today could've been the day I snapped

[corvidcantina]

see how I use my blinkers when I enter a roundabout? Very mindful. See how I put them on when I have to change lanes? Very cutesy. See how I USE THEM TO SIGNAL A TURN? VERY GODDAMN DEMURE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

so i was watching some of my dashcam footage that i deliberately saved bc of Calgary Driver Shenanigans taking place in proximity to me and i straight up hate people who brake-check so much

pulling that shit is so dangerous, even at "low" speeds. and even if someone is riding your asshole hard, you don't brake-check them. as soon as you do a brake-check, you have now made yourself the more reckless driver in that equation.

you should never, ever do something to deliberately cause a collision when operating heavy machinery.

like, i cannot even fathom the kind of self-absorbed loser you have to be to play chicken like that in a way that could get someone fucking killed.

just... like... i keep thinking back to this accident that happened here one or two years ago, where a pick-up truck brake-checked a minivan on the highway in less than ideal driving conditions and the van spun out, and then rolled multiple times into the ditch, and one of the children in the van was ejected. the pick-up truck didn't even stop and as far as i'm aware was never even found. like that driver fucking killed a kid.... and for what? the driver of the van maybe pissed them off? was driving a bit too close? like please, if you are someone who brake-checks because you assume you'll be just fine if you get hit bc "lol i'm insured" you should always assume that the worse possible outcome could happen. when operating heavy machinery going more than 20mph around other people also operating heavy machinery going the same or higher speeds, you should always be thinking about the worst case scenario of pulling a dumbass move that affects multiple ppl.

like when you brake-check someone, you think this is a tussle that's just between you and that person, yeah? and you feel justified because maybe this person is driving too close, or they seem distracted, or maybe they pissed you off earlier, right? Oh, but I bet you looked all around, considered all of the variables, and determined that should an accident occur, it's only the two of you that's gonna have your day ruined, right? I'm sure you're cocky enough to think that. Like I'm positive (sarcastic) you've thought about all of these things before brake-checking:

the other vehicles in the road other than you and the person behind you

is there a big truck behind the person behind you that is going to have a fucking heart attack trying to stop?

the road conditions in general

what if the driver behind you doesn't have new tires? what if one of their tires blows out trying to brake and they spin out?

are their pedestrians you might be endangering if your stupid move causes an accident?

what if the other driver has kids in the car? passengers in general? your beef is with the driver, but causing an accident would be punishing their innocent passengers too

what if the accident you cause totals your car? are you able to be without a car?

what if the accident totals the other person's car? what if their livelihood depends on them having a car?

what if the other person doesn't have insurance? yeah, that's illegal, but it does you no good. if you think your insurance is going to pick up the tab in that case with no fight at all, you're naive as fuck. like unless you have complete car insurance and not just liability insurance, your insurance company will fucking fight any claim you make. even with complete car insurance, they fight claims. remember, car insurance companies are in the business of hoarding the money you pay them. they do not actually want to pay out.

what if the other driver has a dashcam and can definitively prove that you braked for no reason other than to endanger literally everyone else on the road?

like that's just some of the things to fucking consider re: brake-checking. and when the list of risks is that long while incomplete, what do you even gain by brake-checking?

brake-checking is petty, stupid, and fucking reckless. it can seriously injure people that aren't even involved in your beef, and it can even kill people. brake-checking is some of the most self-absorbed behaviour to have behind the wheel, and people who do it are fucking losers.

period.

even if the other driver is following too close, or driving aggressively. you don't make an already dangerous situation even more dangerous oh my fucking god like why isn't that common fucking sense.

worse thing you can do to me is mischaracterise me because what do you mean you see me as ‘someone who thinks she’s better than everyone else’ just because i don’t talk that much 😀

just caught my little dog being attentive and looking intently at the space underneath my bed, went to investigate, found a wayward and large moth?? still amazed he could hear or smell it with my ac going blast. I offered a cardboard tube for the moth to ride in to take it outside and it meekly climbed in (a far easier passenger than 2 of the lizards that have snuck in here before). not before my beast tried to paw at and play with it though, and it was understandably terrified, all good attempts to make a new friend aside.

Reminiscing about my old motel room.. I loved it so much there... 5 stars. At least at my house I can cook food and got to stop eating that awful instant rice. But I miss the cable. And that window by the freeway..

in case you needed to hear it today:

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re changing lanes

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re taking an exit

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you’re about to turn)

you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.

you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal

Being a TCG shop in the same mall as a sportscards shop and a comic shop leads to some wild experiences with customers who don't know how to shop out in the real world space

"Y'all sell baseball cards?"

No, but the store with that in the name prolly does

"Y'all sell comics?"

Perhaps try the comic store with WE SELL COMICS plastered all over their windows, I'm tired

My personal headcanon is specifically 8 (TurboTime twins, the player avatar of Roadblasters and the 5 RB NPCs (enemy cars/motorcycles and the jet craft that delivers the player's rocket launcher at the start of the level)) - while TurboTime had stands, I really like the headcanon that the spectators weren't actually entities. TT was a really old game, and it wouldn't have had the resources for that many characters, even if the spectators had only the most rudimentary coding (the two NPCs it had were visually identical! Like there wasn't enough room to squeeze in even one more additional palette to differentiate the two. They aren't even named in canon!).

Sugar Rush is a much, much bigger and more technologically advanced console with better graphics and more space for idle animations and pre-programmed responses from the candy fans. I don't think TT could possibly have had anywhere near as lively of a world behind the screens. The spectators don't even exist anywhere outside of the victory cutscene (which in and of itself probably ate up a fair bit of TT's available resources), so I think they're more akin to cardboard cut-outs (they do move in the podium part of the cutscene, but as one big unit rather than with individual animations) than living beings. Stage-dressing to act as eye candy for the victorious Player and nothing more.
