I can confirm I’ve seen their ads in person in multiple places in Los Angeles. North Hollywood had a billboard near the Noho gateway sign, and I think the red line? had a bunch of ads on the inside and outside of some of the trains a year or two ago.

Hey, it’s better than voluntarily getting rid of something during a downsize and regretting it later (something I’ve done!).

Remember that the importance of those photos was in your love and memories of the people in them, not the actual pixels. That love and those memories are still there, even if the exact images are gone.

And ask yourself, are there any pictures on there that were so important my family members would have been angry at me about this? Because as painful as it is to lose something like that, they would almost certainly tell you they were just pictures and to not beat yourself up about it.

Be nice to yourself, especially if nobody else is.

Not in my experience, but 500 mg/piece (!) is at least 10x what I would consider taking if I wanted it to be an enjoyable experience, and honestly 50 mg would be pushing it. 5-20 mg is a typical dose.

All very YMMV, people have different metabolisms and tolerances, blah blah.

Psst, you missed a 0. The one on the left is 2000 mg total 😱

I’m with you, I’d be on the ground in a puddle for the next 12 hours. But in a really uncomfortable way, where the air conditioner is musical and you can’t tune it out.

It’s definitely an understandable way to feel after a bad accident. It’s really fortunate nobody was hurt! You’re a young and inexperienced driver, there’s a reason as a group y’all cost more to insure, lol. So it’s definitely something that’s common, and plenty more people (like me) have only avoided similar accidents through dumb luck.

Is giving up a car completely something that’s feasible for your location and lifestyle? Will you be able to get to work, meet with friends, and engage with your hobbies while relying on public transit, a bike, etc? If you can answer yes to all those questions, then giving up driving regularly might be feasible for you. If you can’t, then unfortunately you will have to either drive or rely on other people to drive you.

If it’s not practical to give up driving, I would really encourage you to take a defensive driving class. It will help you internalize the things you can be doing to avoid accidents before they happen. And if you do give up driving, keep your license renewed! It’s a total pain in the ass to get a license a second time, and there are times it’s practical to have one.
