I’m 22. Since I was a little girl I’ve wished my dad was normal. He has a drinking problem, routinely ruined special days (like my tenth birthday, school results days, etc) and I’ve just been feeling increasingly shit about it.
Today he rang me to shout at me about something my mum had did (wasn’t a big deal either) and then when I asked him to stop shouting he continued so I hung up.
When I returned home he called me a bitch to my face.
I was away living with my BF but we’re living at our respective homes rn to save for a house. I was able to ignore it when I was away, although one time he was meant to take me to dinner and he stood me up. I went by myself and sat down and I was FINE until I saw a little girl and her dad. He was being so fucking tolerable of her. Like he adored her. I broke down crying silently into my dinner. Felt like shit, rang my mum to tell her what had happened ( they are married still) and she sent me the money but that didn’t fill the void.

Yes, my dad bought me a pony for my birthday. Paid for uni. Bought me a car. But I honestly would have been better off with my dad being emotionally present.

Really pissed. They’ve previously done some repairs under a warranty-wise claim for me, magically knocking £500 off a £1300 repair bill to fit the warranty wise budget! Then they booked me in for a second, fairly minor claim which can be fully done in an afternoon. Great.

Brought it in to be told “oh, my manger made a mistake and cancelled your appointment and sent back the part. Whoops”. Yeah. That’s fucking great.

Back to waiting another fucking week.

I have a large (critter nation sized) cage with 4 females. Two are 10 months old, two are about 8 months. Anyway, one of the younger ones has a nasty bite on her ear. It’s not big but looks like it hurt. It bled but quickly dried up and seems to be healing well — I’ll take her to the vet if that changes. I didn’t see any fighting and the rats are all still cuddling up, playing together, roaming together, etc — it happened at the end of a two week stint in which they weren’t able to free roam at all. It happened between my mum feeding them and me coming in to check up an hour later. They usually roam for a few hours a day but unfortunately I was unwell so couldn’t safely supervise. They were given lots of enrichment to keep them occupied in the meantime and well fed with new exciting foods to keep them as happy as I could. I also tapered off the roaming as I grew unwell.

I’m better now and they’re roaming. But I’m worried this is a bad sign? I’ve never seen this before — other than a bloodless scratch on one of my older girls six weeks ago. The two younger ones play ROUGH and throw each other about but without any red flag behaviours such as blood or loud squeaking.

Should I just watch and wait? I’ve added more hiding places in the meantime and made sure food is scattered. I feel really awful this happened.

This survey is part of an unfunded research project in undertaking on fan creation / manga fandoms. So please tell me all about your thoughts!

I’ve been part of this fandom for so long and I’m now doing an unfunded student survey project to hear from all you lovely folks about your feelings about manga!

Only mandatory questions are data consent ones. All others are skippable.

It’s really important to hear your voices for this project

This is my previous post and I wanted to thank you all very much for the support and brilliant responses!

So, a few times now, when leaving work (about 10-11pm, after being parked for 12 ish hours, exposed) I go to drive through a very long, uphill car park about 10 mph. The car feels like it’s jumping / lurching, almost like when you put your foot a little and get that “woosh” mini feeling, only my foot is very lightly on the gas and it happens repeatedly. This resolves within a minute of driving (each time this has occurred) and the car is fine for the rest of the drive.

Car was bought about a month ago. And immediately had the mini fault of “transmission error” with the park sensor. Third party warranty has (mostly) covered the repair cost, and it goes in next week for the part. In the month I’ve had it, I’ve had two mechanics (my normal guy, and the mini mechanic who will be fitting my new shifter) inspect the car for peace of mind. Both my mechanic and mini said it was a lovely clean car, very nice. Mini did a full health check and inspection, picking up on the smallest things, and things that aren’t an issue but might need a little work later, so I imagine it was thorough.

I did ring mini about it, and they said it sounded normal for low rev driving, but they’ll check it when it goes in to give me peace of mind. The car drives very nicely otherwise. I’ve read this could be the DCT or cold transmission fluid.

Please help! Tried 5ch.io but uplift never sent email to me :(

Hi all, this is my university research for my uni assignment, University of Exeter. I will not be profiting off of it.

I’m looking for general data on fan behaviour with manga. I’m collecting demographic information to make sure my sample is fair and as unbiased as possible.

No names or contact info, fully anonymous!

Only compulsory questions are on the first page, the rest are fully skippable (including demographic information, just share what you are comfortable with please).

All data will be deleted after I’ve submitted my work.

I can share results here if you would like! Otherwise it’ll just be for my uni assignment.

It should only take 5 minutes (true average is about 5-10).

Please contact my Reddit account for any other info, mods.

Hey all! I’m a student trying to gather some data. Only mandatory questions are the data ones. I’d really value input!

Hey all! Long time reader of this subreddit, although I usually do more reading here than I do post. You can see here that I have a long-term account with decent karma.

This is a survey that I’d love if even a handful of you could fill out. Only compulsory questions are the data consent stuff at the start. Demographics etc are just to make sure my data set isn’t skewed. Even just answering some of my questions will go a long way — it’s important to my research to hear your voices, not just those who have the advantage of being well represented in media and academia. Fan communities are so crucial to manga — and that’s the heart of my research.

I’m open to all questions about how my research will be used / what my project is.

I did try to post this last night under my alt account because I wanted my research to be anon for both myself and my contributors, but I now understand the mods weren’t comfortable with that (which I understand, of course!)

I don’t think this is self promotion as I don’t actually stand to gain from the research, as I’m unpaid and this element of my research project, while useful, is more of a “nice to have”. For me, it’s about giving this community a voice.

If this still isn’t cool, could the mods please reach out to me and explain a little more about an alternative way of posting / maybe another way I can give you folks a voice in my project?

Auto car, known spring shift error about to go into the garage for a replacement shift. Displays the common transmission fault.

Today, I left car running while in park to grab the gate. Came back to key in ignition warning beeping. Put into drive and it said “not in park will roll” which is the normal transmission fault associated with the spring but it was in drive. Only mine is the solenoid that needs swapping. The car rolled back slightly so I stuck into park and restarted and drove off fine

Emailed mechanic but it is probably the same fault I’m getting fixed already, right? Had full health check by mini a week ago.

Was really low on fuel if that counts. Don’t like letting car run low but had a shit day
