the shirt is actually an LT3 tease and the circled 6 means it’ll be a double album

I have officially surpassed delulu 😃

this is not even close to the delulu that val just sent me in dms 💀

also as long as we’re discussing delulu takes; the 3, 6 and 9 on the shirt make a triangle that points to the 21 - LT3 release date 21st June, 2025 confirmed! 🤪

Buying a car is bullshit

I am very seriously trying to buy a new (to me) car.

I need a bigger car to fit crates in since that will allow me to transport more dogs for boarding. I have opted to go the used route for a number of reasons.

After much research, input from some super helpful dogblr folks as well as coworkers, and some dragging my feet - I'm ready. I'm looking to buy a 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE.

I found one being sold at a fair price given the low mileage and went to see it last Saturday. It was a trade in at a BMW dealership. When they brought it out I was a little taken back because it's pretty dinged up. Not to the point of hindering functionally but there are dents and scrapes on every panel and fixing it would $1000 in body work easily, if not more.

Honestly, I don't give a shit about cosmetics. This car is for hauling dogs around. But it would be silly to pretend it doesn't change the value of the car.

I noticed that the front tires were different from the rear tires and asked about it. Sales dude tells me they replaced the front ones because the originals were dry rotted. I asked if the mechanic measured the new vs the old because AWD can be sensitive and different widths can fuck it up. Sales dude tells yes, it's all on paper. Cool.

I take it for a test drive and notice the brakes are a little rough. I ask if the brake pads were inspected to see how worn they are. Sales dude assures me yes, the car passed inspection and they're fine. Am told, again, it's all on paper.

Once we're back at the dealership I ask him to please get me the info on the tires and brakes cause I'm ready to make a deal and buy the car. Sales dude asks for my price and I tell him my offer is contingent on the information so please get it. Guy comes back with a manager and oops, they don't actually have that info.

Which honestly really pissed me off. You lied to my face and what? Didn't think you'd get caught not having the very specific information I'm asking for? I don't know why I expected slightly less car sales bullshit from a higher end dealership but the jokes on me.

I leave with the agreement that on Monday (today) they'll have the mechanic get the info and call me promptly at X time. An hour and a half later, I ended up leaving them a voicemail.

Finally got on the phone with them, tires are fine but the brake pads are just this side of passing and I'll need to change them fairly quickly. Fine. Given the body work and brakes, not to mention all the fluid changes I'll need to do, I put in my offer - a little less than $1000 off listed price. This puts the car at just my side of a good deal rather than fair, but honestly not by much.

They eventually accept my offer. Awesome. I am ready to pay over the phone. No. They won't take the payment over the phone or even a deposit. I have to come buy it in person.

In an ideal world, I'd go Thursday morning and get it done before work since that's my late day. But I'm concerned about the time wasting tactics dealerships use to try to get people to "upgrade" packages. I am trialing Friday and Saturday.

That leaves my only actual day with time to spare next Monday. During the in between they will not hold the car for me or pull it from their listings.

It so fucking frustrating that a high end, fancy ass BMW dealership is giving me the run around for a busted up six year old Toyota that I am willing to pay for right now!

So, fingers crossed it's still there next week and I'm able to buy it. If not, oh well I guess. There's really not anything else I can do at this point. It's just annoying because if they had the information they said they did I'd have bought the car right then.

Anyway, let this be your reminder to not take car sales folks word for anything and make them show you on paper. They will lie right to your face and blame you for holding up the sale.

i'll find it hard to see how you can twist the finale to buddie if the couch metaphor ammases to nothing and buck and eddie are once again in relationships with random women. i hope that is not what happens.

oh it would be very easy don't even worry about it

I promise I’m a switch but doms love me for some reason

[solipsistful]

im still kinda >:(-ing over a twitter conversation we saw the other day that was like

a: I dislike the theory of structural dissocation

b: oh there’s this theory instead that says infants aren’t born with one self-state, and that trauma prevents those self-states from gelling together

a: that sounds so much better!

i jokingly called myself stupid today and my friend’s roommate interrupted me saying “isn’t it a tragedy that we think ourselves stupid when really we’re in the 1% of people with an education in this country? meanwhile the really stupid people who want to harm others with their stupidity will never know they’re stupid” referring to the fact that she just got her doctorate and im currently trying for mine and damn that made the imposter syndrome exit my body SO fast. i need to spend less time calling myself stupid!

i keep thinking “oh idk if this is gracyn/crystal/camis year for a title they’re still on the younger side of the teen division” no they’re not. they only have one more year as teens

I think I will go through my followers today and pluck out every minor I find.

It's nothing personal, but I am tired of being nice. I want to draw edgy evil things again without needing to worry I might traumatize someone the way I was back then.

I had a realization fairly recently, the reason I was into Harry Potter as a kid is it was the first time I wasn't made fun of for being into fantasy. Now that I'm older, I highly recommend Mercedes Lackey over JK Rowling.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

my (very white, very middle european, very protestant christian, very sixty-year old) father just dropped an inshallah in casual conversation. without precedent or without any acknowledgement. "inshallah they will send us a new internet router" he said. didn't even stutter. what did he mean by this.

This is why I've been following the same GP for the last 25 years and why I'm terrified of her retiring. She's never blamed anything on my weight. She's never prescribed "lose weight". I don't have an issue stepping on the scale, because she only uses it as a way to screen for drastic changes.

I know it's not actually that hard for doctors. I've experienced it. It's such a huge fucking systemic problem for no real reason other than discrimination, poor training and lack of judgement.

it’s also fucked up that fat people literally fear going to the doctor for anything because they know the first thing out of their dr’s mouth no matter what their ailment is, is gonna be “lose weight lol” broken leg? lose weight. rash? lose weight. whooping cough? lose weight binch!!!!! like we get it. but can you just write my prescription you bitch so i can go eat a salad and not call you again until im about to die of the plague????
