I have a retired police or Sheriff Deputy squad car. The back doors are locked in that when the back door locks go UP (unlocked), the backseat passenger cannot get out. You have to let them out or roll down the window so they can grab the handle from outside. I have markings for a rubber stopper where you presumably unlock the "lock" so the door can open from the inside. This was an "auction car" a friend found for me.

How do I unlock my back doors?

Aside from this, the car is too much fun. LOL

#1 The original film is literally a perfect movie.
#2 The sequel is a 2-hour music video, but that's OK.
#3 The third movie set the tone for later sequels.
#4 Adding Benji in the 3rd film and bringing him back for sequels was one of the best things this franchise did.
#5 Luthor was missed in the 4th film, but at least he got a cameo.
#6 My mom LOVED these movies. Sadly, she died before the 5th came out.
#7 When Ethan did the window jump, bounced off, and the chain of people saved his life out the window... my mom hit the table so hard, she about dumped her coffee everywhere. LOL
#8 I forgot how 5-6 go, and I haven't seen 7-8. I'm planning on doing a movie saga watch from to start to finish. How do 5-6 compare to the front 4? Did 7-8 live up to the advertising and trailers?
#9 Is there any news of a 9th film?
#10 When Tom retires from M:I, they should keep him on for cameos. Make him the boss of IMF and he can bookend each film. Here's your mission. Welcome back. Something like that.

Do those of you who've seen and like the TV show, is it worth seeing? I grew up in the 90's and I was 12 when the first movie came out. I love older TV shows, prior to the 1980's, mostly just sitcoms.

I guess I observed more than I questioned. LOL

I was watching Beauty and the Beast (1987 TV series) on Paramount+ a while back for the first time since I was a kid. When I was very little, my mom and I watched this together. She passed in 2012. I found this, and I was like, I'm gonna watch this for nostalgia, reminding me of TV time with my mom. I got halfway through S2 and P+ took it down. Ooooooo, I was soooooo mad. LOL Anyway. Does anyone have this on DVD? There's two releases. The re-release is missing the Special Features disc. Am I missing anything if I get the re-release? How is the video and audio quality of the show?

This is the ONLY version of Beauty and the Beast I have genuinely enjoyed.

Trivia: Linda Hamilton plays the beauty, and Ron Pearlman plays the beast.

Let's call my friend Bob, and for privacy, we'll keep everything very "generic."
#1 Bob is "estranged" from his family, because reasons.
#2 Bob's grandparent whom he was the only one really looking after sadly died.
#3 Bob thinks his family "stole" an inheritance left to him by his grandparent.
#4 Bob regularly watches tarot card vids on YouTube.
#5 All of Bob's allegations and paranoid against family comes from these vids.
#6 I don't know that any of the big conspiracy stuff is actually real.
#7 When Bob and I became friends, he was living out of his car.
#8 When Bob's car failed, me and a friend made sure he has housing.
#9 Bob lives out of my friend's living room. He is very safe there.
#10 Bob just wears the same clothes all day, every day, for weeks, for months.
#11 Bob can go weeks or months without taking a shower.
#12 I am genuinely worried about my friend.
#13 I found him a potential job to pursue that pays almost $30 per hour.
#14 He doesn't want to do it, because "the payout" (stolen inheritance that may not exist) is coming to him. He's angry, because when is he gonna get his money.

He's physically capable. He's extremely smart, cognitively better off that most people I know. He's emotionally regulated. He can be bitchy sometimes, but I would be to in his shoes. I have talked to my friend who's providing Bob with a home (living room). We've talked about the idea of mental illness being at play. We both think it's those damned tarot card videos screwing with his head.

Can anyone help? I am not here to "diagnose" my friend. I just want to lift him up. I want to see him showered, clean clothes, nice haircut, smiling, happy, maybe a girlfriend if he's ready for that, and working a job he likes.

The problem: he's just "coasting," thinking "the money" is around the corner. (sigh)

I never knew my mom's family beyond her parents and my aunt.
My mom and her parents are deceased.

I deleted my dad's family contacts out of my food and moved on.
I did this when I realized, they never showed interest in me as an individual.
My dad's family always just interacted with me as "his son" and not more.
Beyond family trips and gatherings, I never heard from these people.
It took me a while to understood what that meant.

My sisters were a mix of neglect and abuse, sometimes both.
When I turned 40, I deleted both out of my phone.
I had decided it was best for me to simply move on.

It would take a novel to explain what I went through as a kid, a teenager, and early 20's.
Here's the short version: my dad wanted me to be an "adult" from 10 on up, because that's how his parents raised him. My dad did not and never really valued "friendships" in the way everyone else does. To him, a friendship was someone you went to work or Church with, or someone you just "knew" forever. My dad's idea of "going out" was work or Church related, otherwise you stayed home. As a kid, I couldn't make friends at school, because I didn't know how to BE a kid, because my parents wouldn't teach me, were antisocial, and my dad expected me to grow up fast. Prime example, he would try to dump 30's-grade reading material on me when I was like 15, not understanding what the problem was. I also have aphantasia, which means I can't imagine visuals, so reading (as a kid & teen) was nightmarish to say the least. I didn't know what aphantasia was back then. My dad, "It's because you watch too much TV." No. I liked TV, because I can SEE what is imagined. I'm 42 and have never been able to "see" visuals like most can. My dad can see visuals. When I say I can't, he looks at me like I have to be lying. It's annoying. I enjoy reading as an adult, because I learned to focus on ideas and concepts in the absence of visuals.

My sisters never really interacted with me nor stood up for me like "big sisters" you see on TV sitcoms. When I was a kid, I longed for that sense of family belonging. As an adult, I can't watch them, because I didn't have that as a kid, and I don't have kids as adult. I realized that the reason why I liked them as a kid was less for the "sitcom-ness" and more for the "I wish my family was like that."

As a middle-aged adult: am I the asshole for placing zero value on family in a blood and legal context? My mom is dead. I keep in touch with her sister. My dad gets points for "trying." I cut off my sisters and dad's side of the family. I feel like an orphan despite not being one. I don't want to get married and have kids. I don't want to risk repeating the cycle.

I do have a beautiful girly Chihuahua dog.

I'm going to be honest, this is a raw and unfinished post. I'm posting, because if I don't right now, I won't post it at all.

Who do you feel like Janeway replied on more: Chakotay or Tuvok?
It was established very early on that Janeway and Tuvok were old friends.
Chakotay's her 1st officer and 2nd in command.
Tuvok's tactical & security, and 3rd in command.
Who do you feel like she relies on more?
For me, I think it's 50/50, meaning it just depends on the epsiode.

Both men knew her very well. Both men called her out when Crazy Janeway popped up. LOL

Is free Perplexity limiting searches? I have sleep apnea, so sometimes I just talk and screw around with Perplexity at night. I was trying to use it now while waiting for my phone to charge, and suddenly, I get hit with:

I have never encountered this before. What is going on?

How do I report a sub for allowing extremely graphic content?
I got ban ned from a sub when I objected to extremely graphic content.
Is there a way to report the content to whoever runs Reddit as an overall website?
This is beyond being ban ned from a sub.

What's next for Alien? Does anyone know? There's plenty of options.
#1 Alien 5 (set after Resurrection)
#2 Ripley 8 spin-off (from Resurrection)
#3 Alien vs. Predator 3 (or a reboot)
#4 Sequel to Alien Covenant
#5 Sequel to Alien Romulus
#6 New stand-alone film
#7 Alien Earth (Season 2)

Is AE-S2 the only confirmed upcoming project?

I watched The Adventures of Puss in Boots once through back when it was on Netflix. I was going to watch it again, but it moved to Peacock. I just checked, and now it's not streaming at all. The only way to watch all 6 seasons is to digitally purchase the series through iTunes. At $3 an episode x 78 episodes, this would cost $234. To compare: I can pick up the complete series of House on Blu-ray (177 episodes, 45-minutes each) for just $79.

Why are they making it "not worth it" to watch this series?
