  • I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

    Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.





  • Compartmentalize things so they all handle one thing individually and then you call those things from a main class is generally the way you’d do it.

    Splitting things up will make your classes specific to a certain functionality and allow you to keep track of everything without individual files being thousands of lines, though sometimes they will end up that way anyway to achieve a single piece of functionality.

    So for example you might have a service to call the api to get data, a service that exclusively posts to mastodon, etc.

    You can write 500 lines of code to do something in your service and hide it away but then just call it like petInfoService.getPetInfo() from your main class and when you look at the flow it’ll make a lot more sense.

    Any reason you chose typescript out of curiosity? Nothing wrong with it, just curious.

    Feel free to post code if you need help. Just make sure whatever you’re posting or uploading to git doesn’t include any API keys.


  • Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

    Hope you have a good day today.
















  • It’s a fun game when you can play it the way you enjoy. The biggest issue I see is when people try and go beyond (read higher keys or raid difficulty) what they’re willing to put in the effort for. When the skill required doesn’t match the skill someone has it becomes toxic, sometimes it’s warranted.

    Not saying people never should push themselves a key higher or a boss further and learn along the way. That’s a great thing. But you don’t try and hit a 90mph fastball before you can hit one off a tee.

    Good luck in the search. As odd as it sounds I’d look at guilds that advertise as lgbtq friendly. They’re always good people and chill and accepting whether it’s your skill or something else.

    If all else fails there is a discord that I’m sure someone knows the name of that’s a place for non toxic keys where some people try and teach and others learn or just play with like minded people. Hopefully someone can comment the link or name


  • In my experience which has been since vanilla and still playing the big guilds are just as bad as no guild. Guilds that have multiple teams can just lose people in the shuffle and become a logistical nightmare. If you’re new to raiding look for an AOTC guild that runs 1 team where everyone can get to know each other.

    I assume someone reading this won’t know what aotc is - it’s an achievement for killing the final boss of the raid on heroic. It can be done very casually over the course of a tier.


  • Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

    If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.
