#but I ASSUMED CAR

I hate her I hate her I hate her and it’s all because I loved her

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

When the Robins were too young to convincingly pass as drivers, they'd always insist that Bruce drive them to school or anyplace they were running late to, because Bruce's extensive illegal racing experience meant they were guaranteed to make it there on time. Or even early sometimes.

Because I've been pretty open about my issues, I'm starting to think that people who like offering advice to strangers online do so for their own sake - like wanting to feel good/rewarded - rather than out of empathy.

I think if you don't have the time to engage but still want to show support, a simple "good luck", "I am rooting for you" etc is way better than a generic advice.

And if you truly truly want to help, rather than making assumptions and comparisons to yourself, and rather than giving a generic advice (which rarely fits with people's specific issues), offer a conversation instead. Offer to understand the issue more before commenting. There are some advices that I've gotten that I prefer I just never read them at all because they felt so belittling or so absolutely unfit that it felt like reading a chatbot.

And often after pointing out that an advice is unrelatable it brings no further response which is how I came to the conclusion that it's not out of empathy but for the feel-good quick fix...

(and I want to make it clear, this is not aimed at people who genuinely engage in a conversation 🙏)

is there any consistency to which side of the road cars drive on in the splatoon universe? so far i've found left-hand traffic in inkadia in the background of flounder heights:

and right-hand traffic in the splatlands (even if it is more difficult to see in a still photo)

are there any other instances of background traffic in the games we can use as reference here?

omg yeah this was one of the entries on my ancient splatoon lore iceberg video (12:40)

I'd been meaning to look into the topic again....well, nice to know it's still kind of inconsistent LOL I've thought about cars in the Splatoon world and had to take this into consideration (drawing my oc in a car!!!). I refuse to accept "they just switch lanes directions in different parts of the city because inklings are chaotic!!" or that "Inkadia goes left hand and the splatlands goes right" or whatever as an answer because the stages where we see these inconsistencies are not that far apart, and it's not how a functioning society would work. it's just a tiny background detail that the designers didn't find important enough. But I recall there being much more examples of right hand driving represented in stages and concept art esp for splatoon 3, and I'd give these more weight because these had to be deliberately drawn/ designed this way.

What I think are the most noteworthy examples would be the truck Sheldon is driving at the end of S2s story mode and Crusty Sean's truck, as the inside of vehicles in Splatoon are usually not visible. Both are for right hand traffic.

So i just go with that they have right-hand traffic and all the instances of left hand traffic are just inconsistencies from a dev team that's used to left-hand traffic

There's a lot of little bits in TFA that I find funny, maybe unintentionally, but the big thing for me is Prowl early season 1

When I first started TFA I took one look at Prowl and went "ah you're the cool loner type got it"

and it was nice seeing him open up and grow closer to the others

BUT THEN YOU LEARN THAT THE OTHER FOUR LITERALLY DIDN'T KNOW HIM. THEY FOUND HIM IN A BUNCH OF ROCKS AND BLEW UP HIS SHIP AND DRAGGED HIM ALONG

No wonder he was weird and standoffish!! No wonder he doesn't really know how to do the whole 'teamwork' thing!! He barely knew these clown cars!

david coulthard they could never make me like you . i swear to god this man finds every opportunity to hate on logan , even coming up with absolute bull claims just to humiliate him on live tv . like how this past weekend he showed a white car , claimed it to be logan's , and said he's still "making contact without even being on track" and then laughing about it . and guess what ? that car wasn't even logan's !! it was his teammate's , alex albon's car !!!!!!!

this guy genuinely seems to hold so much hatred in his heart for logan considering how often he says shit about him and it absolutely infuriates me . and the fact he went so far as to humiliate him on live tv by saying something like that with the car is so messed up in my eyes ? i swear he pulls what he says about logan out of his ass and it's getting on my nerves .

i know and understand that its commentators' job to , well , commentate -- but they often say things about some drivers that exerts such hatred towards them . and in my opinion , that is not a sign of good commentating: it shows lack of morals , insecurity , and indicates a person who is unable to come up with comments about an athlete that criticize them fairly yet kindly . david coulthard has not done any of the sort to logan . he has consistently showed him hate , saying he doesn't belong in f1 , humiliating him on live tv with clips like this , amongst other things .

as a commentator and former formula 1 driver with a lot of influence , he should use his experience and prominence in motorsport to provide logan with constructive criticism . he should give him advice about what he thinks logan could do to improve even if he's in a bad car rather than consistently spread hate and talk crap about him . david coulthard is meant to be a role model figure in motorsports . instead , he acts like a bully towards a driver who is clearly struggling and needs to be shown a helping , guiding hand to learn about what he can do to improve his odds .

it's frustrating how often people in positions of power and who are highly respected in motorsports because of their career use their popularity and position of power to spread hate . i understand , this is a sport ! there will always be individuals who are assholes towards athletes , whether they are former athletes themselves or people sitting behind a screen who have nothing better to do and are upset about the trajectory of their own lives . the difference here , however , is that people who sit behind the screen often do not hold much power , while someone like david coulthard has hundreds of thousands , if not millions , of people listening to what he says and agreeing with him .

the car parking debacle may not seem like a huge problem , but when it is used as ammunition by haters to be rude to logan because a respected individual in motorsports spat on him too , then it is a problem . hate in general is a problem . it may have seemed like a simple joke , something to laugh at and giggle about . when you take into consideration how logan has been treated since he joined f1 , though , it's not a funny thing . it's just sad .

and the thing is that even though we now know it wasn't logan's car , people will still use it to hate on him . they'll ignore that fact . they'll pretend like it's still his car that was parked that way and they'll continue to joke and laugh and taunt logan . because that's just how haters are . it's a "harmless joke" in the moment , but in the long run it can be insanely damaging in numerous ways . that goes not just for jokes about logan , but about all the drivers , about all motorsports athletes , and about all people .

here's a video confirming it was NOT logan's car that was parked in a way that it was hitting the pole !

Catsitting tonight! Meat will keep me warm during the -30 windchill or whatever the fuck it's going to be. I say this now and he will probably go sleep on the sofa instead to spite me
