would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

Looking back: when you were a teen, would you rather have had a beat up old car you could could cruise around in with your friends and not worry about putting a few more dings and dents in it if you misjudged a corner or parked in an unwise place; or would you rather have had that cool sporty new car which everyone envies in the parking lot?

When I was a teen, I so wanted that BMW 3 convertible. Looking back though, I think I had better fun in the old Jetta. Even if I did smack it into a couple of walls.

Well, I didn't have a car at all, or friends for that matter, so I guess the beat up old car? I do think it's best to get used to driving any car before you start thinking about shiny toys.

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

One of my friends when I was a teenager actually had the perfect combination here: an old slightly beat-up sports car from the 60s.

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

I wanted exactly what I ended up with: a used but sound car that wasn’t flashy, had only six cylinders, and had the latest safety technology without a ton of bells and whistles (none, to be exact). I did know people who drove the two kinds of death traps you mentioned and in the case of the flashy car, the kid died. In the junk car, no one died but a girl did get tossed out and landed on her head. It rewrote her entire personality and last I heard she still hadn’t learned to tie her shoes.

Re: would you rather

I'd prefer the old car, so long as it was reliable. A brand new expensive car would've been nerve wracking to drive, because while I was a careful driver, my parents were/are the type to throw a fit at the tiniest dent or scratch.

Re: would you rather

[beed]

my dad would let me borrow his old beat up truck but he would give me mega shit for the dings i've put in that bad boy, oops lol.
i've never wanted the fancy new car, then or now.

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of had both. The beat up old (luxury) car died about a month after my mom got it, so we went for a former rental SUV (I lived in the boondocks).

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

I didn’t know how to drive when I was a teen, but if I had, I probably would’ve gone for the beat up car.

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

I think I would have sold either car and spend money going to as many conventions as possible.

With being said I live in the city and don't use a car anyways, so I can't appreciate it in the same way.

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

No no no, I had the third option best of both worlds: no car of my personal own, but a sporty car belonging to my parents that I could borrow anytime no questions asked. My 'rents had a Ford Thunderbird turbo, my siblings and I all trained and passed our driver's tests in that thing. But it wasn't our car, it was still the family car, so I had about a year of free use before the next youngest got dibs. Yet, our social circles didn't overlap so we were never forced to fight for the car on the same night.

I still remember "the guys" asking me to pop the hood at a friday night football game, I did so but then came around to ask "what are you looking at?" and one genuinely said "I don't know, but this feels like the guy thing to do."

Re: would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't get my own car until I was 20, but it was a beat-up cheapie and it was perfect for its purposes (no long road trips, just driving to work and tooling around.)

My husband and I now have a nicer, newer car (not an expensive sports car, but a medium sort of SUV) and an old, beat-up SUV that's 20 years old, and these both have their purposes too. We don't worry about the old one and take that to the beach or let our nieces and nephews drive it when they visit.

I had the beat up old car but I had so many car issues I would rather get a fancy new car just for the sheer desire to have gotten a different experience.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that secrets with lots of text are sometimes difficult to accommodate and I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

I don't care what anyone says, no modern movie or show will ever have an ending as heartrending as that of David the Gnome. I cried so much.

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I enjoying getting into a fandom via the fanfic and not the actual canon. It can be a lot more fun.

I just dumped the Dungeons and Dragons group I've been DMing for for over a decade now. I am so sick of people using the Rogue as a reason just to be a fucking disruptive asshole. If the rest of the group want that, then one of them can DM it. I'm done.

i want a farm rpg where the mc is like 30-40 and the rest of the cast is also adults and not random teens or people barely out of their teens. there's so much more interesting story and plot able to happen between adults with adult resources and skills and interpersonal politics in a small town vs lol teenager problems

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

If someone has written 500 books and the back cover of every one is just a picture of the author, I think that’s tacky and I’m unlikely to read anything they write. “You don’t need to know anything about this book, just that *I* wrote it!”

(I don’t know how these things work so I know this might be the publisher’s decision rather than the author’s, but either way it annoys me more than it should.)

I feel like so many fans missed the point of the void in Deadpool & Wolverine. It was Fox Superhero Purgatory, literally and metaphorically.

Everyone who we are definitely never going to see again was killed off on purpose. Many characters were left without showing their fate because we may see them again. And Laura was brought out because we WILL see her again, which has since been confirmed.

It annoys me because I was so happy to see all of those characters whether it was to finally say goodbye or to see who they are now and how they might fit into the universe going forward.

i always look up guides and walkthroughs before i play games. but only so that i can go in knowing as much about the game as i can since i also always purposely avoid what everyone recommends as 'optimal' and go for gimmick and purposely weak playthroughs. i like mechanical and strategic challenge, but i dont like wasting time on exploration aka possibly missing one of the challenges because i never did the 100 convoluted steps in the right order to find and attempt the superboss in the game.

i dont know whether this counts as playing on easy or hard mode.

You know, for a committed anti-Cardassian terrorist, Major Kira sure does seem to keep making close Cardassian friends. I'm thinking her mother wasn't the only closet Cardie-fucker in the Kira family y'know.

I think Alyson Greaves is playing with fire with her attitude over trans fiction. Especially given the UK's political climate.

They say the books you loved as a child influence who you become as an adult. I don't know what it says about me loving Enid Blyton books, but I'm sure a working class foreigner is somehow to blame nonetheless.
