Sooooo y’all see the latest @somerandomdudelmao comic update? Because once again it is living in my head, which means once again my brain has generated fic. This one’s ~1200 words and slightly less tragic, depending on whether or not you take dramatic irony into account.
~~~~~~~
It starts fairly innocuously.
One of the surviving technicians monitors a computer as it finally, finally boots up successfully, whooping when the Genius Tech loading screen pops up. He grins and pats the power cable. "Thanks, Raph!"
It catches on.
A water purifier, disconnected to save a struggling power supply, gets plugged back in. It chugs back to life, and the kids responsible for its upkeep cheer and high five. One of them waves at the ceiling, where a power conduit runs overhead. "Thanks, Mister Raph!"
And it spreads like wildfire.
Every time something works the way it's supposed to - every time a much-needed device pops back to life, or the emergency doors close correctly, or a dying lightbulb flickers on one more time - they thank Raph. In gleeful shouts and careful whispers, they show gratitude for the person who gave up his life - and his second chance at life, at that - to keep them safe. It makes the emergency base, ramshackle and barely held together as it is, feel a little more like a home. A little more alive.
It doesn't take long for a few unspoken rules to develop.
They never say it in front of the metal shell. It's one thing to say it to the walls, the cables, the electricity; it's something else to say it to a figure with a face, seated against the wall like a sentinel that will awaken and protect them when danger arises.
(Nevermind that they've been in danger, constant and unending, for decades, and that this sentinel is already protecting them in smaller, everyday ways.)
They learn very quickly never to say it in front of Raph's surviving family, either. Master Leonardo gets angry when he hears it. It's an anger born of grief and loss, painful but not dangerous to allies, but given how terrifying Master Leonardo can be on the battlefield or a bad day, nobody really wants that anger directed at them. Master Michaelangelo just stops when he hears it, lips curling up in an expression too devoid of life to truly be called a smile. It's almost worse to witness than Master Leonardo's anger. No, they learn to watch themselves in front of the family, carefully taking their gratitude towards a dead man elsewhere.
Until the day someone forgets and says it in front of Casey Junior.
The kid looks up at Roger with wide, almost hopeful eyes. "Why did you- is he here? Can you feel him?"
Roger stares back at him with equally wide eyes. He'd just been grateful the computer had booted correctly for his monitor shift, and he hadn't been looking, and now he has to try to explain this to a kid who's never known a life outside the apocalypse. Oh boy. "No, uh- I mean- I don't have magic like your dads do, Casey, I couldn't-" He sighs. "It's just...a thing people do, when things work. Before the Krang, we had all sorts of machines that made life easier, and...we'd talk to 'em. Thank 'em when they worked, yell or beg when they didn't...I remember threatening a fax machine once, not that that made any difference. I think that just...kinda carried over here." Wait. "Not that your uncle was a machine or anything-"
"His body was a machine," Casey says simply, with a pragmatism that Roger hadn't been expecting. Apocalypse-raised kid. Right. "That wasn't what made him Uncle Raph. He was- it's-" Casey falters, expression starting to crumble. Pragmatism be damned, the kid is still grieving-
Rem, just coming off her shift, steps in smoothly. It's not the first time she's saved Roger's ass, both on and off the battlefield, and it won't be the last. "We know," she says gently, putting an arm around Casey's shoulders. "What Roger means is that we're grateful he's keeping us going, and that people like to bond with machines even when they're too simple to bond back. We all used to name our cars - can you believe it?"
"I named mine Red Rider," Roger says wistfully. He still misses that car.
"And I used to sneak out of the Hidden City with my cloaking brooch and go joyriding outside of human cities," Rem says, a grin splitting her feline muzzle. "I named every car I stole Phantom, like I thought I was cool."
Casey smiles - small and watery, but there nonetheless - and Roger breathes a sigh of relief. "What else did you name?"
"I mean, it was mostly cars, but some people named their computers."
"I had a friend who named her phone and just kept adding numbers when she had to replace it. It was Duchess O'Brien the eighth last I'd heard."
"I know some Yokai named their weapons, but I never really kept track of those. It was more of a Battle Nexus fandom thing."
Another Yokai leans in - a four eyed lizard whose name Roger could never remember no matter how hard he tried - and Roger shuts up. She's in charge of security now, and honestly she intimidates him. She looks around - at him, at Rem, at Casey - and then intones seriously, "I once named a kitchen appliance Toasty McToastFace."
There's a beat of silence. Casey has a lopsided grin growing on his face, like he doesn't get the joke but he knows it is one, and that's enough to lift his mood.
And then Rem doubles over, cracking up, and Bob smiles carefully. "Really loved that toaster, huh?"
"It was my closest friend," the lizard Yokai replies, deadpan as hell, before leaving the conversation.
Casey turns that confused grin on Roger. "Was she serious?"
"Kid, I have no idea. Some people are just really into this kinda thing."
Rem finally straightens up, wiping a tear from her eye with a paw. "Ohhhh boy. Oh, I needed that." She turns her smile back on Casey. "Point being, naming something makes it a little more real, and makes you a little more likely to take care of it. The system here...already has a name. We're just saying thank you, you know?"
The grin on Casey's face settles down into consideration. "Yeah, I think I do. I- Thanks. I'm gonna-" He waves at the door to finish his sentence.
"Go for it, kid." Roger waves him off as he departs, then sighs once he's gone. "God, that kid is just hemmhorraging family, isn't he."
"We all are, Roger, it's the fucking apocalypse." Rem flicks an ear.
"Yeah, but still. It's rough." There's a second or two of silence. "Also, if he says it in front of Master Leonardo, I'm denying all knowledge of this conversation."
"Spirits, same."
Roger learns a few days later - from Rem, of course - that Casey has named his chainsaw hockey stick Killer, because it's what his mom used to call him. Well damn, if kids like him are gonna be the future, then maybe they have some hope after all. He raps on a wall lightly, just below where the power conduit is mounted. "I know you didn't have a lot of time with the kid, but you did a good job." He can't help but smile. "Thanks, Raph."

I just had a riveting discussion with a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist at work, whose opinions included:
Tipping is bad because 'contracts with your employer are voluntary and they can leave if they're not paid enough.' He will still tip if he thinks his wife is watching
If you're stuck inside a torture chamber with an apple you can bite every ten seconds that sends you to paradise for a year, it is illogical to bite the apple and humanity is broken for thinking so
The ending to the good place was bad because the characters weren't being logical and there was so much shit you can do with the afterlife.
The marxist labor theory of value 'isn't true' because paintings have arbitrary value
Heidegger was an idiot
Kant was an idiot
Nietzche was an idiot
He is an anarcho-capitalist
If I don't have 100% certainty for something than I can't truly say that I know something is true, and isn't it illogical that people do that?
I have to see this man every Monday from now until I quit. We work one on one.
#he was also horrified that i give credit to phenomenology despite not seeming to know what that is?#and now that i think about his stupid thing with the car i could just as easily use the sun as an example#and that would be even dumber#my god this man is a fool#and every single thing he said he followed up with 'and i know thats an unpopular opinion' like wtf you weird little edgelord#go read jordan peterson and leave me alone#he ended the conversation with 'i guess i didnt change your opinion' despite me not sharing any coherent opinions whatsoever#mans is getting off on 'rational debate' and im laughing in his face when he tells me 'marx's labor theory of value isnt true'#marx#heidegger#neitzche#anarcho-capitalist#communism#anarchism#capitalism#kant#the good place#thought experiments#i guess#phenomenology#simulation theory#maybe?#tipping#ethics#my fat tranny nuts

Dinner was a huge success, my mom LOVED it. Finally I got to boss her around by telling her to sit down and let me spoil HER for once without her trying to help <3333
It was extra fun cause I cooked her the signature family dish she developed when we were little but that I've developed further on my own since I moved out, and seeing how much she loved it really warmed my heart.
#also i always worry that what i cook is going to be inedible#despite the complete and utter lack of any negative feedback#and despite that even my super hard to phaze sibling and dad sing their praises#AND despite my gfs positive feedback in particular#i really enjoyed cooking and baking today though its so fun#its one of those things ive really come to enjoy ever since my health got worse#because its something i can still do at home that is also helpful to people i live with#who are inevitably going outside more than i am#idk i just finally understand why my mom loved waking up to make us breakfast growing up#she always says she valued being able to spend time with us and help us before leaving#(she was permanently disabled after a car accident involving a moose before i was born and could never work since)#and i feel that so hard now#i am rambling and tired but im so happy to have her let me return the gesture#idk what id do without her#silvi talks

Crazy that in Raising Gazorpazorp Rick turned down mojitos. They had their alcoholic character refuse cocktails.
it’s kind of like the ‘I can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns’ subplot from Bojack Horseman but with alcohol.
#rick and morty#rnm#rick sanchez#raising gazorpazorp#it’s frustrating because i think rick’s attitude towards women is something that would be interesting for them to explore in detail#especially since it seems like he didn’t value diane’s career/research/interests when she was still alive#and the way all of the times he creates her as an ai it’s to use her as a tool in some way#and she has very limited freedom (either stuck in the garage/house or heavily restricted as the car)#but of course they just wanted to make a sexist episode#and i think that that would colour any exploration they tried to do#idk raising gazorpazorp is just a very frustrating episode

Supercar Diminished Value and Loss of Use Claims in Florida
When a supercar such as a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren is involved in an accident, the aftermath can be financially devastating. Beyond repair costs, these high-end vehicles often suffer from diminished value—the loss in market value due to their accident history—even if repaired to perfect condition. Additionally, loss of use claims are essential to compensate owners for the time their supercar is unavailable for use. Understanding how these claims work under Florida law is crucial for maximizing compensation.
Understanding Diminished Value for Supercars
Diminished value refers to the reduction in a vehicle's market value after being damaged in an accident. Supercars, in particular, face steep reductions in value because potential buyers of luxury vehicles often seek pristine, accident-free cars. Even top-tier repairs cannot erase the accident from the vehicle’s history.
For example, a 2020 Ferrari 488 GTB with a minor accident may face significant devaluation simply because of the repair history. Buyers of such cars look for perfection, and the stigma of an accident can lower the value by tens of thousands of dollars. Diminished value claims ensure that owners are compensated for this post-accident loss in market value.
Loss of Use Claims for Supercars
Loss of use refers to the inability to use your supercar while it’s being repaired. For vehicles like a Porsche 911 GT3 or a McLaren 720S, this can be a significant financial and personal inconvenience, especially if the repairs take weeks or months. Florida law allows for loss of use claims to cover rental costs for a similar luxury vehicle or compensate for the time the vehicle is unavailable.
For example, while your Lamborghini Huracán is in the shop, you could claim for a comparable rental vehicle. If a similar supercar rental isn’t available, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of enjoyment and use.
Why You Need a Supercar Accident Lawyer
If your Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani Huayra or Bugatti Chiron has been damaged, you’re entitled to more than just repair costs. Many people try to handle diminished value or loss of use claims on their own, only to face denials or lowball offers from insurance companies. Insurers often claim that you lack the documentation needed to prove your loss or even tell you outright that you aren’t entitled to compensation.
This is where retaining a supercar injury lawyer is crucial. Insurance companies are aware that consumers often don’t understand the intricate details of making a successful diminished value claim, and they take advantage of this. However, when you have an attorney who specializes in these claims, the situation changes.
Dealing with diminished value and loss of use claims for supercars requires a thorough understanding of Florida law and the unique challenges posed by luxury vehicles. Insurance companies often attempt to deny or minimize these claims, leaving supercar owners with inadequate compensation. By working with a law firm that specializes in supercar claims, like The Sheldrick Law Firm, you can ensure that your vehicle's true value is recognized and that you are compensated for your losses. Don't settle for less—reach out to us for high caliber representation and protect your investment.

Diminished Value Form
FLORIDA CASE LAW:
DIMINISHED VALUE
In American Southern Insurance Co. v. Griggs, 959 So. 2d 322 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007), the court reinforced the right of vehicle owners to recover diminished value as part of a property damage claim when the at-fault party is negligent. The ruling emphasized that even if a vehicle is fully repaired, it may not regain its pre-accident market value, making diminished value compensation essential. This is particularly important for luxury and supercar owners, as vehicles like a Ferrari or Porsche can suffer significant market value losses due to their accident history, regardless of repair quality. Griggs solidifies the legitimacy of pursuing diminished value claims in third-party cases, ensuring that owners can claim both repair costs and the market value lost after an accident, helping to avoid substantial financial loss.
In Trinity Universal Insurance Co. v. Metzger, 360 So. 2d 960 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978), the court ruled that vehicle owners are entitled to recover both the cost of repairs and the diminished value from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. The court recognized that even after a car has been fully repaired, it can still lose value due to the stigma of having been in an accident. This case is especially relevant for supercar owners, as the value of high-end vehicles like a Ferrari or Lamborghini can drop significantly post-accident, even with flawless repairs. Trinity Universal underscores the importance of pursuing diminished value claims alongside repair costs to ensure full compensation for the loss in value.
In Papadopoulos v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co., 581 So. 2d 1387 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), the court reinforced the principle that vehicle owners can recover diminished value in third-party claims, meaning the at-fault party's insurance is responsible for compensating the owner for both repairs and any decrease in the vehicle's market value. This case emphasized that, even if a vehicle is fully repaired, it might still suffer a loss in value due to its accident history, which is particularly important for luxury and high-end vehicles. The ruling in Papadopoulos is critical because it clarifies that a vehicle owner can pursue the full amount of the vehicle's lost value in addition to the costs associated with the repair. The court's decision helps establish the right to claim compensation for the market stigma attached to a vehicle that has been in an accident, despite any efforts to restore it to its original condition. This case is often cited in Florida when pursuing third-party diminished value claims, ensuring that accident victims are fully compensated for their losses, beyond just the cost of repairs.
These landmark Florida cases serve as strong legal precedents for pursuing diminished value claims, ensuring that vehicle owners can recover not only the cost of repairs but also the loss in market value caused by an accident. By understanding and leveraging these rulings, supercar and luxury vehicle owners can seek full compensation when they’re not at fault, protecting the true value of their investment.
Has Your Diminished Value or Loss Of Use Claim Been Denied?
Insurance companies often deny Diminished Value or Loss of Use claims for various reasons, and it's important to understand why. Below are five common reasons an insurance company might deny your claim, along with details about each.
1. Lack of Proper Documentation Insurance companies often deny claims because they argue there is insufficient evidence to support the diminished value or loss of use claim. They may assert that you haven't provided the necessary proof of the vehicle’s pre-accident value, post-repair market value, or clear documentation showing the time period for which the vehicle was unavailable.
Tip: To counter this, ensure you gather appraisal reports, repair bills, rental receipts, and market comparisons showing your car’s value before and after the accident. Expert reports, especially for supercars, can be essential to building a strong case.
2. Claim Filed Against the Wrong Policy If you attempt to file a first-party diminished value claim, it will likely be denied, especially in Florida, where only third-party diminished value claims are allowed. The insurance company will argue that your policy doesn't cover such claims, forcing you to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance.
Tip: Make sure you understand the difference between first-party and third-party claims. In Florida, third-party claims are allowed, meaning the at-fault driver’s insurance must cover diminished value and loss of use.
3. Failure to Meet Eligibility Criteria Insurance companies will deny claims if they believe you are not eligible based on the circumstances of the accident. If you are partially at fault or the at-fault party is underinsured, insurers might deny the claim or offer reduced compensation. They may also claim the damage does not meet their threshold for a diminished value loss.
Tip: Prove that you were not at fault, and provide evidence of how the accident directly affected your car’s market value. Legal representation can help dispute any inaccurate determinations.
4. Dismissal Due to Vehicle Type For luxury or supercars, insurers sometimes argue that because these cars are difficult to appraise or have volatile market values, the claim is exaggerated or unwarranted. They may also claim that because the car was restored to high standards, the diminished value is negligible.
Tip: Supercar owners should always use expert appraisers to establish the diminished value and loss of use claims. Independent appraisers who specialize in luxury vehicles are crucial to proving that the car has lost value, despite flawless repairs. Hiring a licensed appraiser and citing Florida case law that is relevant and in your favor will leave the defense with little to no options.
5. Dispute Over Repair Quality or Necessity Some insurance companies will argue that the repairs performed on your vehicle were unnecessary or exceeded what was required, leading to an inflated diminished value claim. They might also argue that if you failed to mitigate damages (for example, by not getting timely repairs), you may forfeit your right to a full diminished value or loss of use claim.
Tip: Always retain full documentation of your vehicle’s repair history and work done. Ensure that the repairs are performed by reputable shops specializing in luxury vehicles to avoid disputes over the quality or necessity of the work.
By understanding these common reasons for denial, you’ll be better equipped to strengthen your diminished value or loss of use claim. If your claim has been denied, seeking legal assistance from a firm experienced in supercar claims can help you navigate the complexities and challenge the insurance company’s decision.

Currency conversions are such bullshit. I'll throw a price in a converter for work and it'll be like "1000 in XYZ money is 10 in USD" and then I'll read that you can buy a full meal at a restaurant for the calculator equivalent of 5 USD. Like if your conversion isn't "what is the equivalent buying power of this currency compared to yours" then what is even the point of converting??
#like there's more extreme examples but I'm going to canada next and like#they say $1 CAD is only 78 cents USD#but you can buy drinks for like $4-$8 CAD which is $3-$6 USD and at LEAST half the price they would cost in the US#and a rental car is like $20 USD a day#so like how tf does that indicate that CAD is of lesser value than USD

hmm as artfight approaches i am starting to become a little aware now that my refusal to use toyhouse nowadays does mean i have nowhere to put any of the pictures i get except the folder on my computer that isnt really organized and that i dont back up at all...its starting to feel precarious...
#I didnt use the site for years for some reason and then when i came back to it i got in a really bad forum argument.#Now thinking of even using the site privately makes me too mad even though I can very easily just not go on the forums.#Those fursonas with the value of a small car don't deserve me anymore...I don't want their society...#neocities isnt an answer here because i dont want to use my entire storage limit on this.#And i have failed every time i tried to make character pages on neocities anyway.

I decided to skip dinner with my family tomorrow. It’s both Easter and my birthday. I already said many times I don’t want to do anything for my birthday, but my parents are roping me into doing something anyway because of the holiday. Today my dad basically got very frustrated verging on angry with me because he thinks I’m not happy enough. He demanded I cheer up. My sister was asking if I got invited to her sister in law’s wedding or if I could babysit her daughter. I said I didn’t mind skipping to babysit because I barely know the couple and don’t really want to go to the wedding. She said I’m being unbelievably rude and twisted my words to say I was disrespecting her husband and don’t care about him.
I know if I go I’ll be unhappy. If I don’t go, my sister and father will say I’m being a brat and I’m immature and rude and whatever else. But I truly just don’t want to spend the evening with people who don’t like me. Say whatever you will about loving someone and liking them being two different things. They don’t like me. They wish I was different than I am. I’m sick of people getting mad at me on my birthday and I just don’t want to deal with it. So I’m staying home.
#explaining this to my mom will also be miserable#she may cry#she will get mad at me too#but I just don’t care anymore#my family does not value me#they do not like me#they wish I was a different person#and I’m just not#and I’m sick of trying to earn their respect or tolerance or anything else#my parents gave me $500 for my birthday to help pay for car repairs#taking it felt dangerous but I thought I was overreacting#I guarantee they try to use that ‘gift’ as leverage

check engine light came on yesterday and i brought it into an auto shop… they're telling me the Mass Air Flow Sensor is damaged and has to be replaced 💀 and quick reading suggests that the MAF does not wear down normally. and the pictures that the auto shop gave me showed that the wires to the MAF were damaged >:(
i'm good to pay it because i've been putting extra $ into my car budget just in case something like this came up, but wtf did my car's last owner DO to this car lmao
#i'm so tempted to buy a New car once i eventually need to change up from this one but i know that's financially dumb#like it loses so much initial value just from the initial year of use#real talk i'm probably just going to be a lot more careful and do more research / inspection when i test drive cars

NEVER grow up in no damn christian household that shit sucks ass
#SHORTEXT#religion tw#i may not show it but being raised with christian values and teachings eats away at me every day and i don't know when I'll be emptied out#😁😁😁#ok so vent ahead#it wasn't too bad conpared to literal horror stories from other people#so its like i got off easy but i still live in this house i still have to hold this facade and those things they used to say#they don't go away completely. I'm fucking TERRIFIED of dying#whenever I'm in a car with no seatbelt on my first thoughts are always 'if i die right now im going to hell'#and its just. i don't want to go back but i feel like i have to because of that#AAARGH ARGHHH LOBOTOMIZE ME

Ppl rlly just get dogs, don't train their dog about basic danger and xyz and then their dog dies and they just call the dog stupid and replace them
You have a responsibility to care and protect that creature and teach them what is unsafe. Teach your damn dog cars are dangerous that roadways are dangerous. They're not stupid they depend on you. If you can't be bothered to train them, don't get one. And if you think they're just too stupid to understand I suggest you wander into traffic and play fetch too.
Like it was a mansion house on a main rd that could've afforded a million electric fences, or a dog trainer, or simply ik you could've just watched your dog but you couldn't be bothered to protect an innocent life and now strangers had to clean up your baby that you let get crushed and you have the audacity to blame someone else for you not caring when you should've
#i feel so sick to my stomach#ppl had their pet dog get hit by a car but he wasn't being watched and he ran at the car on main st#like he thought it was a toy#the poor thing had no concept and ran into the car in front of us#he didn't suffer but ppl blame the driver but there was nothing he could do besides what the owners could've done to protect him better#i just keep seeing the image of that poor dog in my head i feel so sick so sick#why do ppl not value life#it was a matter of inches there was nothing anyone in the cars could do and that hurts most of all
