To recap - 1st party insurance won't cover repairs because the other driver admitted fault at the scene.

This is the pattern I always notice with writers in any medium where they just don't have the cultural intelligence to understand why people are ever mad at them.

It's exactly the same as when everyone just wanted Apu in The Simpsons recasted and they reacted, "So erase him into the BG? Yeah? Ok."
‘Kiwami 3 removed the trans woman substory the 3 remaster added as an apology for the bad rep in the past’ is something so ludicrous I wouldn’t have said it as a joke

I needed to take a few days away from everything for my mental health.

Unfortunately, this still didn't get resolved while I was away.

For a lot of older folks, moving to another service is just part and parcel of online life after so long. Hell, I've been "online" since the mid 1980s and it's continually going through this.

Corps never get this, especially when it's in pursuit of IPOs, mergers, and cash infusion.

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury.

Sega delivers a disappointing remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken…

Years of working in the anime/physical media industry have trained me to be very sensitive to vocal complaints from people who don't understand (or refuse to understand) that employees have *no say in the matter* and publicly speaking out might mean my family doesn't get to eat.

Stay strong.

But thank you for reaching out. It means a lot to me.

The car is only the cherry on top. It's been a rough few months. More of the same, unfortunately. I've been struggling. My mental health has been at close to 0 and barely recovering.
February 9, 2026 at 3:24 PM
I called the other insurance company earlier, and there's still no update. Arbitration is going to take a while.

Meanwhile my insurance company is firm that the accident is 100% the other driver's fault.

I just want to be able to open my driver's side door.

The irony of the Seahawks (a football team with Native American Iconography) beating the “Patriots” in one of the gayest locations in the country (SF Bay Area) with performances by a Latin American Artist (Bad Bunny) and an anti-gov punk rock band (Green Day). It’s like the stars aligned on this one

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

To catch everyone up, here's the deal with the arbitration.

The other driver admitted fault at the scene, and on the phone with my insurance company.

Then he denied total fault to his insurance.
