in my yzma (cat version) era

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.

me talking about ao dais does not mean you’re invited to criticize how it’s so modest?? it’s a TRADITIONAL piece of clothing of MY culture that you know nothing about nor have you bothered to learn???

For the cursed Zuko-Katara-Mary-Shelley-style-on-Aang's-grave one 😅😂 doesn't necessarily have to be the explicit part 🫣 but like—... my gosh, what were they even thinking 😂😂🤣🤣

(P.S. I can't believe I did that 😂)

i knew someone was gonna ask about this one 😔 let it be known that i will not be held liable for this atrocity in any way, shape or form.

“Here?” Zuko asked incredulously.

Roku nodded solemnly. “Right here.”

Katara stared at the mound of black dirt. It looked perfectly innocuous. No one would ever guess that six feet below it lay the mortal remains of her husband. Or, was he still her husband if he had keeled over before their wedding ceremony had even started?

Technicalities were so frustrating.

“And you’re sure there’s no other way to do this?” Katara voiced doubtfully.

“I’m afraid not,” Roku said. “This is the traditional way.”

“Tradition?!” Zuko demanded. “Who in the history of fuck could possibly have been desperate enough to — ”

Katara intervened before Roku could impart some horrific knowledge she had no desire to learn. “Can we at least get a blanket?”

The old Avatar considered this for a moment. “No. It’ll muffle the sound.”

“Fucking fantastic,” Zuko muttered. “That’s what we need to be worried about right now. The acoustics of necromantic grave sex.”

Roku fixed him with a stern look. “You should be worried. Aang must feel you for this to work!”

“Can’t you just talk to him?”

2004 Toyota Matrix - Ridiculous because that's a ton of miles on an old ass car that I can't actually drive. In the running because the price is low, the seller seems car competent, and fuck it I want to learn how to drive manual.

2003 RAV 4 - Ridiculous because that's a ton of miles on an old ass car, the listing is in a language that I'm not super able to speak and it might be difficult to negotiate a sale, and naruto sticker. In the running because I love the little roller skate car, it would be nice to have a wee tiny 4wd car, and naruto sticker.

There's a reason I'm not excluding them from my car search, they are often harder to sell and thus you can sometimes negotiate a lower price.

The two Honda Fits in looking at are at the top of my budget, but the one that's manual has lower miles, has a sticker price that's $500 less, and is from a seller that offers cash discounts. There's a decent chance that I'm going to take large bastard to test drive it tomorrow and he'll teach me how to drive it this weekend.

if you really wanna learn manual, i learned through wiki how and absolute necessity by grinding the gears on a teeny ford rustbucket that i’m certain had more decades on it than my grandmother. worse comes to worst, the internet could be a solution :)

i think the most expensive part you could damage while learning stick would be the transmission, so if you’re willing to ask your friend and pay for the transmission, you may very well have a teacher :) i’d ask which transmission is already messed up and/or may need replacement and you might have some luck that way

manual shift is fun to drive, but for long commutes would not be fun. this is just because you don’t want to constantly have to change gears on long commutes (but i’m also from LA, where every commute is a long one)

that saturn might be super hard to find service for, so i would just check your area to see if there are places that will service that vehicle before you purchase it! and check the cost too, because that could potentially be a big money pit
