Deposit on used car

I got my my first Chevy Silverado in August 2022. A RST with a duramax diesel engine. A few months ago the coolant valve started acting up so I took it into the dealership to get it repaired (the car had 20k miles). Close to 3 months later now my truck is still at the dealership and there is no estimate as to when the missing part will be delivered.
I have hired a lemon law attorney and since he filed the lawsuit the dealership or customer service refuse to be of any assistance.
I know this part is on back order and it’s a known issue but how does it take over 3 months to get a part delivered when it’s known to be in high demand… GM can’t use Covid as an excuse anymore… I just want my money and to go get a Tundra at this point.
Has anyone else had the same misfortune of busted coolant valve? What was your timeline?

Okay so the button on my shifter is locked in place and the shifter won’t move. I started using that hole next to the shifter than unlocks it with the button but was wondering if this is a bad long term solution. Anyone know how expensive of a fix I’m looking at if I take it tmrw and if using this is bad for my car?

Hi Guys, I am looking for a used car as my daily drive. I came accros one GCC spec., Honda Accord Coupe 2.4 EX, 2015 model. It has clocked 165k and asking price is AED 35k. The owner has replaced engine mount, front shocks(original) and tyres(michelin 2022) in last 6 months. No accident data found on EVG portal. Didn't noticed any issue during test drive.
Please let me know this is a fair price or not. And also those who owns Accord coupe, please provide some insights with common issues with this car.

I am an older woman and a 24/7 caregiver for a disabled husband who is bedridden and completely dependent on me for everything. Recently I was having a numbing/tigling and pain in feet that moved into upper legs. My back is in severe pain, I have tiggling in the back of head, dizziness and brain fog,I also have period where my entire body becomes paralyzed and can't move.
My doctor ordered a CT scan of my spine as I also have osteoporosis. It was sent to advanced radiology and I found out today that medicaid denied it. I contact the insurance who put me in touch with a company called Evicore who says I don't meet the clinical criteria for a CT scan and I can file an appeal. They told me they have this rule, that if I choose to file an appeal that they can no longer contact my doctor to get medical clinical notes. They also said appeal with take months. I guess they are trying to discourage me from filing one.
I can barely walk, my sleep is so interupted as I am waking in pain. I also have to care for husband which involves using transfer board to move him from bed to wheelchair and/or car. I also have to lift a 75 lb wheelchair and place it in back of vehicles when we travel. I get no help.
I really need this CT scan on my back that my doctor ordered to see if there is something wrong. How difficult is it to file this appeal on my own, anyone have an idea of how long it will take, and if they deny it, does this mean never in the rest of my life will I be able to get a CT scan? Is there anyone in the politcal world that can help me get this scan approved? I am in severe pain, don't think I can wait months, and if continues I am afraid both myself and husband will be placed in nursing home.

My husband and I have split up. All very amicable despite infidelity on his part - we've agreed 50:50 split of investments, property, and vehicles (as of a set date, he's subsequently got a new car which he's paid for out of his 50% of cash assets). I've consistently made more money than him throughout relationship but happy with a 50:50 split as outlined above as he's agreed not to include my NHS pension. No debts other than mortgage. I can pay mortgage alone, he wouldn't be able to afford it on his salary.
Neither of us feel any need to start divorce proceedings at this point - mainly for keeping things amicable while we still live together but we've signed a (self drafted based on online template) financial settlement agreement which details above and had it witnessed on both sides although I know has no real legal standing but is a point of reference if disagreements in future. We've also had him taken off all joint accounts except for one where we both use for household expenses (Starling account so no overdraft etc).
Initially we were both going to keep living in the house together until end of fixed term mortgage in 2 years so we benefit from low interest rates without the other having to take a loan or remortgage to buy the other out. My parents have very generously offered to give me a loan (interest free until such time as I sell/remotgage) so I can buy him out and move on mentally from the marriage as the living together thing is, I feel, probably not the best for either of us in the long term now the relationship has ended.
So, my question is this: I know that ultimately I need a clean break order and, in order to get this, we need to divorce. I also know I need a solicitor for this as, for some ridiculous reason, it can't be done without one. However, do I need a clean break order BEFORE we start conveyancing process of transfer of house to me? I don't want to buy him out and then he makes claim for more (although I don't think he would) after the date or will the clean break order take the fact he's already had equity from property into account?
I'm dubious about bringing up divorce now as fear that may start getting more acrimonious which will be very difficult if we are still living together, but equally keen to start ball rolling on moving forward with my life! I also understand that the clear break order has to be done as part of divorce proceedings which may take upto 9 months from date of filing and really don't want to keep living together for that long when we can start property transfer immediately.
Ideally, I'd like to divide things up as per financial separation agreement, property transferred to me only, him to move out (ideally before the property transfer), and then start divorce proceedings and clean break order but is that a legally sound way to do it? Grateful for any advice. Thank you.
EDIT: We live in England.

My mom had me when she was 18.
When I was in middle school I clogged the toilet by accident and I couldn’t un clog it for the life of me. It was like 9pm when I clogged it. I asked my mother for help and instead of helping me, she made unclog the toilet for 5 hrs before realizing that I wasn’t the problem. The toilet has just done it’s time. I was so tired and she wouldn’t let me sleep. She douse the bath in water so I couldn’t sleep in the tub.
I talked to her about that recently and I asked her what didn’t click after an hr that the toilet wasn’t unclogging and she just said that I didn’t want to unclog the toilet. But like it shouldn’t take an hr for toilet to unclog let alone 4.
She had to buy a snake to unclog it.
She made me eat out of the compost bin when I was younger because I threw out the chicken I was done eating. But apparently there was still meat on the bone so she made take it out the bin and eat it. She then asked me if I loved her after.
I hated her so much as kid.
She let my sisters dad break all my favourite toys infront me with a mallet and she let him throw me down the steps. And she only kicked him out when he threw her across the room.
And when I told her about how that made feel unimportant, that she waited for him to do something to her, for her to kick him out she said I should get therapy.
She also started crying say that she just wanted me to open up to her… but she wants me to accept abuse because her mom treated her worse.
What does that have to do with me?? I didn’t do anything to my mom. She chose to birth me and I really wish she didn’t.
I always wanted to die to inconvenience her and everybody else. I used to stomp on crack to break her back but as we know that doesn’t work.
I feel like a side character that deserves nothing but the worse. I want to get into a horrific car accident and die. I want to fall to my death. I just want to be dead. But I’m too scared to commit. I don’t have the guts to. I hate myself but I want someone else to take my life for me.

Long story long, about a month and a half ago a processor came to my door, handed me a writ of summons, told me I was being served and walked away. I assumed it was a scam and put it aside (my mistake). Last week, my intuition told me to look into it, so I read through it, called the courthouse listed on the summons and confirmed that it is a legit case. Right off the bat, two things strike me as odd. The courthouse is in a different state than where I live and there are 17 other names and addresses on this summons all living in various States. The allegations for all 17 of us are very similar, mostly it's the state and names that have been changed as well as the dollar amounts and maybe one or two details (I've also found at least one typo). The company that is suing is located in the same state as me, but the courthouse is in another state where this summons was filed. The company that's suing is claiming that I used to be a client of theirs (Nope!) and I entered an agreement with them (again nope!). I've never heard of this company. I googled them and they do show up, but there isn't a lot of information available on them. Additionally, in the summons, they claim that they provided me with proprietary sports wagering strategies and funds to carry out these said strategies (I have never gambled in my life!). Anyway, they claim that I took this money, deposited it in my sportsbook account and then used the funds to place certain wagers in said sportbook (If I had received the money they're claiming they gave me, the first thing I would have done was bought groceries and diapers!). Continuing on, they are claiming that I (and 17 other people) became completely unresponsive after winning some wagers and are now suing me (and 17 other people) for an ungodly amount of money. I have my financial statement showing that I never received nor deposited the amount of money they said that they gave me. I also have written confirmation from the sports betting company that I do not have an account with them after I provided them verifying information (It's a reputable sports betting company, and they handled my inquiry quickly and professionally). I then pulled my credit report from all three credit bureaus and didn't find anything wrong on any of them. I put a fraud alert on my credit reports so that if anyone tries to do anything, the transaction will automatically get denied and one of the credit bureaus will call me. I changed my passwords on anything and everything I could think of. I filed a police report but they're claiming that because it's just my name and address (which are public record) that have been used, no actual monetary funds have been given to or taken from me, there's nothing out of place on my credit reports, I have proof that I never received these funds nor did anything with them and I don't have an account with this sports betting company that there isn't much they can do. Today, I wrote and mailed a letter (signature requested) to the opposing attorney listed on this summons explaining that they have served the wrong individual, requesting that I be removed from the court case, stating that I have never been a client, and provided them with the information showing I never received nor spent any funds in the month and year that they are claiming I did and that I also don't have an account with this sports betting company. I don't know if it's going to do anything. The summon says there are 60 days to respond because I'm in a different state and that day is next Tuesday. I don't know which filing form I'm supposed to fill out. I can't find a form that says that "I'm the wrong person on this summons". I have been sick to my stomach for weeks about this and I need it to go away. It's affecting my mental well-being and it's taking a toll on me and my kids. I'm worried that my record (or whatever) is now going to be tarnished for forever and this is never going to go away because some scammer is trying to pull a fast one. I don't understand how and why they chose my name along with these other 17 people. Why would somebody do this? All I want to do is sleep because when I'm sleeping I'm not thinking about it, but I'm a single mom and my kids need me. Has anyone had a similar experience like this? Should I skip paying a few bills this month and try to file something with the court? It appears that the filing fee to file anything with this court is a few hundred dollars. I'm terrified that I'll file the wrong thing and now I'll be behind on bills and out the money that I spent on filing.

Hey everyone! I've been diving deep into the world of car options and could use some advice on what to buy next. Currently, I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec that's almost paid off, but I'm torn between trading it in or keeping it for a bit longer to save money. My budget is in the range of 35-45k.
For new cars, I'm eyeing the Lexus 350 F Sport or a Tesla, while for SUVs, I'm considering the 4Runner, RAV4, or the Mustang EV (long range). I'm open to the idea of an EV as long as it can manage a range of around 300 miles, given that I typically drive around 25 miles a day, with occasional longer trips up to 100 miles.
I've also got a special electricity deal from 9pm-6am from my state power, which makes an EV even more appealing. However, I'm hesitant due to all the FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) surrounding EVs. Can anyone provide insights on their experiences with EVs or offer any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!

My husband and I are moving from Sydney to another city (1.5 hours' flight away) temporarily for his work. His new job starts in late August. I'n currently 26 weeks along with our first baby, who is due on August 7th. I've had a very uncomplicated, uneventful and healthy pregnancy so far.
We will be moving all our furniture etc. into the new house a couple of months early so that we don't have to do it when the baby comes, and staying with my parents until just after the baby comes. The plan is to move ourselves + baby to the new city 2 or 3 weeks after the birth. Currently, we are planning for my husband to drive there (as we will need our car) whilst I fly with the baby. One or both of my parents will be coming to stay after we move to support us for a few weeks, so once we've actually made the move we should be fine. It's the move itself which has me stressing tf out.
In a perfect world, I'd be able to move up 4-6 weeks post-partum, but this would involve my husband being separated from me and the baby for 1-3 weeks, which isn't really conducive to bonding/getting a handle on caring for the baby/developing a routine and schedule.
My husband's workplace won't let him take more than 3 weeks' paternity leave at a time even though he's entitled to 14 weeks altogether to be used before the baby is 2 years' old, so us all moving up together later is not an option. We can't move up before the baby comes because my husband still has to work in Sydney until the first week of August, and I'm booked in to give birth in Sydney/my obstetrician is here.
I'm honestly terrified and upset that we're in this situation. I'm kind of panicking about 1. flying alone with a newborn as a new parent, 2. flying less than 4 weeks post-partum, 3. exposing an unvaccinated, vulnerable newborn to an airport/plane full of people.
Is this doable? Should I be worried? What would you do in my situation?

Hey All!
So I bought my 2024 Subaru Outback on Jan. 7 or so and I'm pretty much content with it except for a few 50/50 issues and one or two that must have been cost concerns. I can live with it as it's all I'm really going to need. That being said, I'm supposed to have 3 years worth of Starlink services with the purchase and it hasn't worked since near the end of January.
The innitial call to Subaru Customer Advocacy was made in the middle of February shortly after multiple attempts using the website and app to no avail. I was assigned a case number and was told a technician will be assigned to me and follow up. And that's where they Odyssey began.....
2 or 3 weeks passed and I had to call again to find out if things were in the works and the person tells me that my case will be "escalated". This is the fist of 3 times mind you.....I finally get an email from a Starlink tech THROUGH the Subaru customer advocate email system requesting various documents as proof of purchase and ID. I'm thinking, don't they have this info already?! The service was working fine for the first 2 weeks. On top of that, I forgot that Subaru gave me a flashdrive with all the documents that I didn't file away appropriately as I usually do (cuz it's NOT a damn file). I wrote the Subaru advocate/Tech that I'd have to go back to the dealership to get a copy of the info but I luckily came across the the flashdrive in my desk about a week later. I followed with all documents requested.
Another week and a half passes and I get no response so I call again, AND, once again, I'm told that the case will be "escalated"....2nd time. That was around the beginning of April. No change. Another couple of weeks pass, it's the middle of April and I call again and once again I'm told that my case will be "escalated". The Subaru Advocate couldn't explain why this has been such a problem.
Not quite two weeks later, I go to the dealership and see if there's something that they can do. They supposedly reset the Starlink and told me to reach out to Starlink to do the RE-registration which was the final step. Again...the service was working fine for 2 weeks after I bought the vehicle. So right after leaving the dealership I call once again and the Subaru advocate was able to get the techs "assistant" on the phone and, multiple holds, she said she'd reset the account and in 2-3 days, I should be able to login. It's been 4 days and nothing...
And that's where I'm currently at. The Starlink app still says there's no vehicle associated with the account. I'm 5 phone calls, 6 emails, and 3 escalations deep into this issue. I've sent 3 documents containing sensitive info that was ALREADY registerred by the dealership and now have gone to the trouble of writing my first ever Reddit post. Is this Starlink's usual quality of customer service?! Is the business that profitable that Starlink techs are omnipotent?
Before getting into more time intensive and costly legal advice, I'm hoping someone here will have some kind of insight into the cluster-F that is Starlink services. All I want to do is to be able to lock my damn car if/when I can't remember if I hit the lock button on my Key FOB.
Can someone help a brother out?!?!

I bought my dream car, a super-low milage 1990 e34. It’s great, but I want to improve it further. The car has a crappy aftermarket radio, from a previous owner, that doesn’t work well. I want a new radio that looks like it belongs in the car and has Bluetooth to play music from my phone.
I have two choices:

• One choice is to pay a guy $200 to add Bluetooth to the stock radio. It will look good, but it’s expensive for what it is.
• The other choice is to buy a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR or the Frankfurt RCM. They both look like they came from that era and have Bluetooth.

I want the car to look the same as when it was new, but I also want to use Bluetooth. Would love to hear any suggestion on what I should pick, or maybe there is an even better, maybe cheaper alternative :)

It's a fanfic I'm doing on Quotev, where Naru is the main focus, the choice for her being the MC? Well personally, I never liked how the series went "Need ya for a sec! OK, fuck off!" with her character and how she just was forgotten in any adoption of the series. So I decided to do a fanfic where she's given the justice she deserves, along with their being some major changes to the storyline, although Usagi becoming Sailor Moon and whatnot still happens.
Changes that I added are;

• Naru is the present day incarnation of Princess Gaia who was the princess of Earth and the Golden Millenium who had the ability to affect Earth with her emotions that was transferred to Naru. She had a younger brother named Mytho and was the lover as well as best friend of Helios, she had sealed her brother, Helios and Helios' people away in mirrors during the attack on the Moon Kingdom in order to protect them before sealing the Golden Crystal in her body before being killed by her brainwashed generals resulting in the Golden Crystal being sealed away in Naru's body.
• Gaia herself also had guardians akin to Princess Serenity, those guardians being; Princess Chieri, Sailor Flora, who was the princess of a small but beautiful flower kingdom that was responsible for the very first ever blooming and had evolved over the years to make even more flowers bloom. Princess Yura, Sailor Water, who was the princess of a large and vast underwater kingdom, she was a part of a large group of species that were humanoid but had the ability to breath underwater and could withstand the harsh conditions of the sea, her species was also responsible for making the seas of every place on earth be safe for every human and be the perfect cold or warm temperature. Princess Sei, Sailor Star, who was the princes of the sun kingdom as well as the princess of the galaxy due to her planet being the main center of the solar system, her species could withstand the hot temperatures of the sun and barely bat an eye as their bodies made it so they were at a constant cool temperature with no risks of over-heating or suffering a heat stroke, her kingdom was responsible for making sure the sun kept the earthlings alive as well as warm and everything on earth as well. Finally, Princess Asuka, Sailor Fire who was the princess of a large fire kingdom that was responsible for creating the first fire flame in existence. They were reincarnated, respectfully into Haruka Haruno, Minami Kaido, Kirara Amanogawa and Towa Akagi
• Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite will not die in it, they will be able to break free of the brainwash early in the story and switch to Naru's side, the pairings in this by the way will be; Naru/Helios, Haruka/Zoisite, Minami/Jadeite, Kirara/Nephrite and Towa/Kunzite.
• Endymion/Mamoru's role will be slightly different; in the past, rather than being the prince, Endymion was a middle-class man who used Gaia's identity to woo Serenity and he was a magic user. In Crystal, Mamoru is looking for the Silver Crystal to regain his memories after the car accident. In this story instead it's the Golden Crystal he's looking for instead, Mamoru (not Endymion) thinking it would help with his memories, but in reality the Endymion part of him wants it to gain the power to impress Serenity/Usagi. And because of that, Mamoru, as Tuxedo Mask, goes after Sailor Earth who's the only one who would have the Golden Crystal or at least know the last known whereabouts.

The reason I'm posting this is because 1) I want people's opinion on it. 2) If there's anything I should change or add. and 3) If there's anything about Sailor Moon's story in general that has irked you and that you'd want me to change or improve on.

I probably won't even post this, but I'm just tired. Dated for 9 months. It's already been a month, and every night I end up crying. I don't think I've cried in 4 years before this.
I just don't get it. Every time I asked, you were happy. I told you I was happy. I never got a negative answer.
I'd wake up early to make you coffee and clear snow off your car if you stayed over. I'd hug you extra tight before you had to go. You told me you've never felt this happy and secure before. You didn't have a good childhood, I was willing to listen as much as I could. I never felt such a connection. We talked in bed for hours. Our dreams, our hopes, who we wanted to be and how we'd get there. We planned. Now it's just gone. You told me about the anxiety. I wish you would have told me about the depression and the new medication.
It was shitty hearing you never felt butterflies for me. That you talked to other people about our relationship, and then I'd hear what the others thought. Why not talk to me? You told me you wish I was more toxic. It felt more natural. You dumped on me that it was uncomfortable to not worry about what I'd say to put you down. You never told me how you felt because you'd thought I'd use it against you. Why would I ever do that? I'm not a monster. I'm not toxic. I just like you for you. Warts and all. You are who you are because of your experiences. I don't want you to change.
Life just feels hollow right now. I've had breakups before, I've had longer relationships before. I've never had this feeling.
I downloaded bumble today. I got two matches. I cried. Why am I always crying at night.
I work out, I distract myself. I got a new job. I make good money. I live in a schmooze apartment. I have a great family, great friends. It doesn't matter. Every day is a struggle. I'm down 20 pounds.
We met in high school. I wanted to ask you to prom every year so bad, but I hated myself. I wasn't ready. We spent senior graduation together on a summer night talking about our futures. About who we wanted to be. Deep down I wanted to be with you. I got the opportunity, 8 years later. It was like time never passed. It was right.
I'll end on the final sentence I said to her, as she mentioned it felt like I was the right person at the wrong time, since she is in school and working a lot. "I don't think that's correct. The right person that comes at the wrong time is still the wrong person. The right person always comes at the right time."
I wish it could have been better.

We have a reasonably nice second car that we don’t really use much — it seems like such a waste sitting there. We are currently paying down debt and trying to do aggressively.
Is it worth selling and buying an older, more used model as a second backup car (which we do need on occasion, 1x/week) and paying down our debt? Or does that involve too much risk on the second car (and expose us to a still awful used car market!)

sorry this is so long, it basically became a novel. trigger warning for possible grooming and sexual themes? idk. and idk why this is my username, i didn’t put that and idk how to change it lol this is a throw away account anyways.
so i have something that has been heavy on my chest for about 12-13ish years. so my stepdad has been in my life since i was 9 years old. i’m 26 now. he’s 50 now. when i was 13 or 14 years old, my stepdad randomly knocked on my door, gave me a sex toy, and talked about how natural it is to explore and play with my body. idk where my mom was but it was clear he wanted it to be just between me and him. i was disgusted and felt awkward so i didn’t really say anything. at that point i wasn’t interested in anything sexual, i was a late bloomer so i had never touched myself before. i never used that toy but i didn’t know how to get rid of it. i couldn’t throw it away at home and i couldn’t put it in my backpack to throw away at school or hanging out with friends without people seeing it. so i kept it until i moved out of the house then felt safe to throw it away. ever since then my stepdad has been making sexual comments here and there that made me extremely uncomfortable. also one time i was in an argument with my mom, we were screaming at each other and my stepdad decided to chime in and yell at me too. he got closer to me and i knew he was gonna push me or something. it was pretty normal to have my him and my mom, mostly my mom, push me into walls and furniture while screaming horrible things in my face. so i started running upstairs to my room, and i was surprised when he followed me running too. i shut my door as quick as i could but didn’t think to lock it, i just jumped in bed scared. i thought he would leave it at that but he came in and jumped on top of me and put his hands around my neck. not that hard, but it was still scary. the abuse was awful, but i got such a weird and gross feeling about him literally being on top of me in bed. it just felt very off, like he didn’t have to hop in bed with me? so he had an online store with my mom and i started working for him when i was 15 /16, doing inventory and cleaning the warehouse, which was just a storage unit. that’s when he would talk about dating and he mentioned stuff like how he never had trouble with girls in the size department. again, i said nothing. one time i had enough. we were at the storage unit again and he was making his gross comments casually and i blew up at him. i punched his car, and yelled at him saying i’m gonna tell mom about all the sexual stuff he says to me. he gaslit me so hard. he put on a sad face and told me he didn’t mean it like that and he didn’t know i was uncomfortable. he said there’s nothing to tell her. my dumbass decided to just try to let it go. eventually he would come up to me and tell me that he’s always here if i need to talk about anything. i had no one else that cared so i would vent to him about my problems and we formed a strong bond, so i thought. now i’m kind of disgusted that we become so close and i thought he cared about me like a daughter. thinking about it now makes me feel so stupid bc even though he didn’t physically do anything, i kinda feel like he was trying to groom me. let me know what you guys think about that. also i used to do modeling for my parents company, just tshirts, leggings, jewelry, and makeup. one time my mom jokingly brought up that he said i should model the thongs they sold. we all laughed about it and obviously i said no. later that day, when it was just me and him alone, he told me that he knows my mom was joking but he’s serious and wants me to actually do it. i said no of course. i was 17, that’s child prn. he’s a smart guy so he knows he can’t put that on his website. so i wondered why he wanted me to do it so bad. at this point i did tell my bf at the time about the thong incident. he told his mom and they both confronted me saying they understand if i did do it and that’s why i won’t tell my mom. they didn’t believe me when i said i didn’t. i felt like i was being blamed. we didn’t talk about it again after that. my stepdad also randomly gave me a dress that i thought was really pretty when i was probably 15-16. it was see through but my mind was so innocent i didn’t think that it could be lingerie or overly sexy. so i put on a black strapy shirt and body con skirt underneath and thought it was cute so i went to show him. he immediately said “woaah” like when guys in the street see a girl and are like “dayumm” kinda vibe. it felt weird as hell, and again i was there wondering why he gave me a see through dress in the first place. a few years ago he was texting me saying he wasn’t happy with my mom anymore and if he had the guts he would get a sugar baby. i obviously told him no that’s my mom don’t hurt her. he “jokingly” suggested i be his sugar baby. i sent him a bunch of 🤮 emojis and told him that’s disgusting. he said something like “ok i get that” and changed the subject. he also tried to convince me to start an onlyfans. saying with my body i could make thousands a month, and he wanted to be my manager. it was an immediate no from me but i asked him if he’s my manager if that means he would see my content and he said yes. i told him that’s weird. he was still trying to convince me, saying he knows of a girl where her dad is her manager. of course i still said no. there have been so many other things he’s said that i can’t remember rn. i never told my mom bc he said he wasn’t doing anything wrong. i’m a huge overthinker so i guess i convinced myself that i was just being dramatic. i also have trauma which i think didn’t help the situation. when i was 7, my 17 year old cousin mlested me. my grandma luckily walked in his room and “caught us” before he got any further. i was blamed for it. i was told i need to behave better and i wasn’t allowed in his room anymore, even when the rest of my cousins were in there playing xbox. i heard my grandma, aunts, and mom talking about me saying stuff like how could i do this, i knew what i was doing, and i was a slut. my mom never even talked to me about it and just pretended she didn’t know. so knowing that i was blamed for something as serious as that, i think subconsciously i thought i’d get blamed for my stepdads behavior too. i still haven’t told my mom. i wouldn’t know how. me and her obviously love each other and hang out sometimes but it’s a very surface level relationship. i always felt gross about it but something happened last september that kinda snapped me out of being close with him. i was struggling financially bc the bf i was living with broke up with me and i had to leave since we were living at his moms house. so i was staying with my stepdad and my mom for a few months. it was literally only 4 months. i had saved up money and found a place to live at that point, and was just waiting a few weeks until i was able to move in. but on my days off work i would sleep in and take naps throughout the day. i was still depressed over the breakup. this pissed him off for some reason and he went off on me out of nowhere. he told me that i’m worth nothing and he doesn’t care if i ended up homeless. i have no idea where that came from. he hadn’t been that cruel to me since i was a kid and he’s never said he doesn’t care about me before. as soon as that conversation was over i felt like our bond was in shambles. i realized the only reason i felt close to him was bc when i was a teenager he always came to my room asking if i’m okay and then we would go into his room to talk about my every day stresses or whatever stuff like that. and then when i moved out it turned into phone calls whenever something bad was happening in my life. and now i’m questioning like, what if i never said no to the thong pictures or the onlyfans stuff. he literally asked me to be his sugar baby. i feel like that’s grooming, right?? failed grooming, i was emotionally close and overly attached to him but what if this whole time he’s just been planting these sexual thoughts in my mind, waiting for me to say yes?

Im just over life. Not even in a depressing way. More just not caring. I have been trying to do everything possible to improve life and there has been something nearly 3 times a week that pops up that completely screws me over. Started out with getting a new job and i didn’t get paid for nearly a month. Then my first 2 paychecks just gone instantly so i could catch up on bills. I paid my car payment earlier than I needed too with one of those checks cause I would have been cutting it close with the due date for the next check. Well turns out my gf turned up the heat more than I realized and that bill popped up on me a few weeks earlier than I planned it too. Not her fault shes still learning how to manage in my our living situation. But it put us without heat for a week. I start to think everything is finally going to go as planned then I get rear ended and even though it wasnt my fault and person who hit me admitted it on the police report I still got stuck with paying for it. Then my gf had to have me cover all of her parts of the bills cause her job was screwing her over on hours. So just ended with no money again. Then my car still needed more repairs that I needed to pay for out of pocket. A bunch of repairs on my house popped up like door, outlets, sinks leaking, etc. lawn mower broke down. I could go on and on with all the little things that have happened. I understand that things pop up in life but how frequently they have been recently while still trying to do all the things in life that you have to do on a daily basis I haven’t nt had one day in nearly 4 months to just sit and breath. I also have a kid on the way and I really wanted to use the money from the job im making now strictly for paying debt off and buying stuff for my kid and making it so my girlfriend doesnt have to work while still being able to accomplish all of our goals. And her and everyone else tell me I don’t nt have to push myself so hard and be so hard on myself but it is so hard not to be knowing i’m behind. Knowing that I’m not where I want to be and knowing I cant give my family what they deserve. I want them to look at me as someone who they can depend on. Someone who they know is going to do whatever takes to put a smile on their face. And I feel like a loser who hasnt done anything right. I used to do so good until I got in a 19 car pile up on the highway in 2022. But after that I could barely walk for a year. I couldn’t work. I couldn’t really get out of bed and I got so behind on everything. And no matter how much I try to bounce back from that it never seems to work. Were some mistakes that I made yes I’m not just full of excuses but have I been doing everything I can to fix all of it even the things that weren’t my fault? Every single day of every week I have. But it’s just to keep my motivation after so long of this. I know I cant give up but can someone please just tell me what to do.😕 cause I don’t know anymore

I'm fairly new to building but may end up looking towards this option. Using this drone for military and search and rescue purpose as I operate for both, but would be for my own use. I can't afford the hornet drone, so nothing that costs more than a car. Iv been racking my brain on finding what I want. Basically looking for this criteria; -small, packabke design (Nano to micro, prefer something small enough to deploy and use but nothing huge as I want to easily carrier on myself) -good camera, would like options like thermal or ir for night or swap out drones with mounted camera -own controller, not using my cell phone with the controller Think about it, any ideas or assistance? Any models can research or build?

I bought a Nissan Altima 2007 with 200k for my girlfriend and myself to use for $2000 but the market value at the time was $4000. I could’ve sold the car to make a profit. Originally, when my customer mentioned that they were planning on selling the vehicle, I mentioned it to my sister and brother-in-law to purchase, but my girlfriend insisted that she wanted it even though I gave her my Pontiac G6 to use. she won’t let me drive my own car and insist because she is paying for the insurance and maintenance on the vehicle that it’s mostly hers. she doesn’t understand about depreciation. I have my own truck that I use for work and was chipping in for insurance, even though I only drove the vehicle several times last year. I stopped because I didn’t want to chip in for car insurance For something it wasn’t using. She stopped driving for about about a month because she didn’t want to pay for the car insurance by herself, but after bussing for a month , she decided to get Insurance a driving the car again, but she’s planning on buying another vehicle a and insist on keeping the original car. I would like to get my money out of the vehicle, but we keep getting into disagreements.

I saw some bad reviews on the ringtoys official website about notifying users one day in advance that the car breaks down. And refunds are also very slow. Has anyone used big garage? I see they have a pretty good price on the GT4? I rented a car golf GTI nurbspec from nurblife. Are they reliable?
