Why do we not make bikes and cars like we used to, but just configure them to operate with the current standards and technology provided of this day? I have a problem with this, maybe because I'm mentally an old man.
LIKE YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DON'T WANNA GO BLAZING DOWN THE ROAD ON ONE OF THESE ON A SUNNY DAY?
OR ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES? They're so pretty and I wish to have one that isn't a rust bucket and a pain to maintain.

icl i would be at least a little happy with almost any ending for stranger things but one thing that would ruin all of it would be an epilogue (of a decade or more later)
#it would just kinda ruin the fun of imagining them doing whatever tf i want them to these days yk#like even if everyone got together the way i wanted them and got the jobs i think fit etc it would still just kill the creativity#+ even the small things would annoy me like what if i just don’t like what one of them named their kids. or dresses like in 20 years#maybe i wanted them divorced by then but that would’ve angered the fans#maybe i wanted to imagine that single person’s future spouse myself (or keep them single in my head)#what if i want them to recover from this or that or still be working on it. what if i the adult/older actors look shit#anyways point is do not do an epilogue timeskip of more than 5/6years PLEASE i am begging u duffer brothers#stranger things#byler#<- u guys get me on this yk#even if byler isn’t canon at the end i can still at least imagine they do in uni or in their 30s or whenever#as long as there isn’t some fucking scene where mike and el r old and married in 2023 or something#would just kinda ruin all of it; making us see them as old ass adults with their entire lives set it stone yk#manifesting a few month/year timeskip where everyone gets a happy ending isn’t all “and then they lived a nice life in this specific way”#and especially manifesting that we don’t get an#“i haven’t seen you guys in decades how’ve you been? sucks that erica died in a car crash last year. she was almost 40”#type epilogue (if we must have one)#like no hate to amphibia and that one 80s movie but it just kinda makes what happened before a bit pointless if it focused on their#relationships at all#like cool we spent years watching these friendships grow and adapt only for u to go “yeah and we’re strangers now soz :)” like ok so none o#that lasted#idgaf if it’s “realistic” if i wanted realistic representation of childhood friends into adulthood id think about real life and shit#idk random rant if they do any of this shit i WILL kill all of them and then myself#ryan shut the fuck up

i think an underappreciated part of Being A “Functional Adult” is learning to appreciate something You Do Not Like, but a Loved One Does. it’s a skill you do need to work on, to listen to something You Do Not Care About, But They Do, but it is so, so worth it
#my friends are all like ‘you have such a good relationship with your relatives im jealous’#yeah its because even if I do not necessarily Enjoy a hobby i can still talk to them about it#like. just find the beauty in something#even if your first instinct is to hate it#do you know how much ive learned!! through family like this!! and learned to love??#i used to hate dogs. they were big and scary and gross#but i had a friend who was a dog trainer and i learned to appreciate them#i like dogs now!! i could never own one im too much of a pushover but i get why people like them!#i also used to not be interested in cars but i talked to someone who was into it and i went ‘oh that’s really cool!! im so glad you feel#comfortable enough to share something you love with me. im honored’#and i found out i do like cars! i appreciate parts of them because someone i love likes it enough to show it to me#it’s not!! about!!! me!!! its about what they love and why they love it!!#they love and a topic and they love you#it’s wonderful!#this DOES apply to kink btw.#but its mostly about hobbies and interests#this also makes you a much more tolerable person to be around#im not listening because i am kind i am kind because i listen!!#listening to people makes you understand them! it makes you appreciate the world around you more and hobbies you didnt think about#i wasn’t interested in quilting until i talked to my mother about it and found out why she loves it so much#its a labor of love and i wasnt thinking about it like that#this is also how older generations mostly made friends. they like you more#i thought i couldn’t care about warhammer but my brother loves it and i found parts of it i like! i hate horror games yet#i talk to people who do love horror. and find out why. it’s wildly interesting to talk about things you don’t think interest you#dont knock it till you try it but also dont knock it until you talk to someone who loves it#vent#(ish)

thank you all for supporting me being a car enthusiast, i will remember this
#✞ ( 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 ) / 005.#except for you b-sozoku#i just want my little hot rod to be cool#i wanna get custom headlights on it too but i'm worried it will affect the automatics so i have to be careful with that#me & this girl at work have the same style of car except she has the older model#and we talk about all the shit we want to do with our cars together#she goes crazy for the pipes on mine#i constantly get men on the street asking me if mines an auto or a manual & they get so baffled when i say its both#like yeah we can put her in gear for manual if we want to but why would we honestly#there is no clutch on it so it's pointless#they always think it's a manual bc of how loud it is but it's just bc i put aftermarket pipes on it

the only real vivid memory i had of my dad for like 20+ years was being probbaly 7 years old and him showing me his newest tattoo which was his new girlfriend posing naked inside a beer bottle and there were points in my life where I thought I must have made that up its so foggy it's probably not real and having met him again for the first time since that moment I realized nope. that was real. tattoo is still there.
#very strange to live your whole life not having a father and then just having one agai. out of the blue#very strange when i know its more emotional for him but for me its just like. oh heres some guy.#anyway i dont want the mustang now i want the pontiac#i actually do vaguely remember that car from my childhood too#i dont think its running anymore tho but god its pretty#the mustang actually runs and hes put a lot of money into it#but its an 08 so it doesnt look as cool#tho he did spend a lot of time explaining the 08 model looks the closest to the older models etc etc#but he put the ugliest hood on it yeesh#anyway im not necessarily doing this just to lay claim to cars dkskxkkdkd but#you know. its possibly a perk

There are two wolves inside me. One is the urge to write Boromir as a juvenile delinquent in and out of reform schools, the other is the knowledge that he’d be straight-A star student captain of the soccer/wrestling team
#because I KNOW he’d be every teacher’s favorite even though he seems like a blockheaded jock#and he’s totally a straight A student because of his perfectionist habits due to Denethor’s high expectations of him#(classic older sibling syndrome)#but also there’s another part of me that’s like but he totally got up to some stupid shit#like he would so get into fights with people#and probably key someone’s car if they pissed him off enough#idk#that’s just the vibe I get#I can see him as the cool older brother pulling up outside the house in a leather jacket with a black eye or broken nose#fresh outta juvie#‘sup what’d I miss’#lord of the rings#boromir#fanfiction#fic writing

i do have an objectively bad music taste it has to be said orz
#picking up my 19 y/o cousin who grew up in india from the airport tomorrow#and i don't want to play my audiobooks/podcasts when she's in the car#so i am trying to put together a playlist#and it's like can i play vocaloid music? anime openings??#neither makes me look like the cool older sister type 😔#also it has to be fast paced after working 8h and 4h in a car 😭🫡#is putting big dawgs on there because that guy is also from kerala weird#maybe she's already homesick#all other indian music i listen to is from bollywood movies older than her#if she was the cousin who is into kpop i could have at least played my one kpop playlist#or it should have been the one who watched the untamed so i just assume she is into bl#and i could have played the given ost or sth

My Latin teacher actually trusted me to wander off with his keys for some reason hi mat was here (:<<<
#we were very silly when he gave us his classroom keys and then we got even sillier when we realized they were also his CAR KEYS#I don’t know why he trusted me with them over one of his older more responsible Latin 3’s#I got them mat was immediately like ‘do NOT trust her’ and I proceeded to sprint off yelling ‘trust meeeee’#for his credit: I did not steal his car or do anything else stupid#I did get his keys stuck in the lock for a solid second BUT I got them out so we’re all cool#mat n mads inc#madurday night live

okay so. am i the only person who thinks its a little ridiculous to say you cant think a character is attractive because said character is a minor when said character is a) a teenager and b) animated?
like im sorry but i dont think its immoral to look at a drawing of a fictional 14 year old and think theyre hot.
and i also dont think its an immoral act to have them in a tournament of "most attractive X character" because those tournaments almost entirely consist of two pictures of fictional characters and a poll asking which is more attractive.
theyre not real. its a drawing of a person, and that person isnt actually 14 because theyre not real. in the media theyre in, they are canonically 14 but that media itself is entirely fictional.
like this is all just thought crime. its puritanism in the name of "progress". its people flagellating themselves for thinking one of the shadows on the wall is hot.
and i just think thats fucking ridiculous.
#kai rambles#i dont know why this has irked me so much#but ahhhhhh#someone reblogged a poll from some kind of ''most evil character'' tournament blog#who are currently doing most attractive as their theme#and i was like oh hey this looks cool i might follow#and then i scrolled on their blog a bit more and never fucking mind#like yeah sure theres nuance to this and its a complex subject and one rant post by me is obviously not going to solve the issue#but when its a fucking animated character?#thats just insane#there are plenty of animated characters who are older than this character in particular but look to be the same age#you could tell me the character is 20 and id believe you#its animated#and its not in a photorealism sort of art style#its a very cartoony animeish style#like im sorry but in this case you are literally throwing yourself a moral panic party#yourw running to the air raid shelter because you heard a car horn in the middle of the day

Motorola startac 70 my beloved <333
#fun facts! the whole idea stemmed from the volkswagon limited run harlequin car released the same year#it was also produced from scrap plastics so each coloured piece is a different plastic. making it one of the hardest to produce#motorolas European branch asked their hq (in Chicago?? i think. or arizona idr) for permission to make the phone and were told no. so the#it anyway right here in scotland!!!#because of the difference in plasic characteristics only one colour scheme was ever offered#it sold around 25000 only in the summer it was released!!!#its also known as the startac rainbow for obvious reasons#the casing can also house '85 components!!!#all around a rlly cool and interesting older phone :DD#psii.txt

man. why was yuta in my dream again
#shut up j#this time he was a cool older guy whose car had broken down and he asked me if I could drive him to work#so I pulled up at his place at 8am and there are like 30 people all dressed UP in these clubbing fits#meanwhile im in my fuckin JIMJAMS AND FUZZY SLIPPERS.#and one of his friends came to my car and was like heyyyy come inside he’s just getting dressed. And I was like :| look at the state of me#hair scraped back. hormonal acne all over the joint. it was BAD but for some reason I did go inside anyway#asked this girl how on earth she looked so good at 8am and she just laughed and shook her head saying I had nothing to worry about#LIKE MAAM I WASNT WORRIED UNTIL NOW WHAT DO YOU M E A N. anyway I get inside and yuta finally comes downstairs and is in a whole suit#pressed trousers white shirt tie jacket. a whole SUIT. and he’s like ‘oh did you bring the Jack Daniels’ and I was like bitch NO GET IN THE#CAR ALR YOURE GONNA BE LATE#also WHAT fuckin jack daniels. ITS 8AM WHY DO YOU NEED WHISKEY#never did find out but 🤷🏻♀️ anyway#so then I drove him to work and he was being a menace the whole time. just. making fun of my driving and saying the pyjamas were cute#and then he was like ‘can u pick me up at 5 too? and bring the JD with u. thanks’ kissed my cheek and skedaddled#I don’t know what triggered this I just know im gonna tear down a house over it. I hate him😭😭😭😭#I DONT KNOW THIS MAN WELL ENOUGH FOR HIM TO BE UP IN MY DREAMS LIKE THIS😭#can I pls have five minutes peace. good god

hello ted lasso fans can you help me out with something. if, hypothetically, colin hughes had another car in addition to/predating his lamborghini (or whatever the other thing he drives in season 3 is). something a BIT more lowkey than the lime green monstrosity but still appropriate for his season 1 character/general income bracket. what sort of thing do we think he’d drive
#i’d make this a poll but i literally don’t know anything about cars i don’t know what i should put as options#a bmw maybe? those have bad/asshole drivers trying to look cool right? but i think the demographic usually skews older… maybe not the vibe#hmmm#i feel bad about putting this in the main tag so i guess i will not#it’s really not very important it’s just. for Reasons i am thinking about this right now
