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.

I didn’t say I agreed with either of those groups of trans people. They just exist, and flattening trans people as a whole into a one dimensional caricature to frame yourself as a victim is crass any time, doubly so during Pride month.

If you’re going to make broad generalizations about every trans person like that, I mean, maybe. There are trans people that read HP and trans people that don’t GAF.

I grew up in deep Republican country and he’s 100% right. These are the same people I saw telling other kids their age they were going to get them deported and that they’re not allowed to come to school. They’re the same people that were leaving KKK graffiti around town. Just absolutely fueled by hate handed down, generation to generation, from angry slavers.

If you mean this about any Christmas, seasonal, 4th of July, Halloween, Easter, etc events… sure. But taking out just the Pride event is targeted.

 

When we got to the top of the cemetery, we stopped there and they took off their vests because that's where they have the camera," he said. "Then they pulled me out of the car and kicked me."

Reyes says that after repeatedly asking them to check his wallet, one of the officers finally did so. They realized he did, in fact, have his green card, but questioned whether it was real.

"'I don't know, maybe it's fake' … The other guy says, 'No, it's real' … That's when they finally stopped," he said. "They were planning to keep hitting me because they didn't have good intentions. They took me to a cemetery."

Even so, the threats continued.

"Do you think you're a big shot just because you have a green card? I'll make sure they revoke that green card of yours," Reyes said, recalling what agents told him. "'I'm going to do everything I can to get this paper revoked,' an immigration officer told me."

I think a lot of body language analysis is vibes based BS, but sometimes the vibes sure are vibin’.

What’s the joke about every generation thinking they invented sex? That, but with cum cooking, I guess: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5830947-natural-harvest---a-collection-of-semen-based-recipes

Oh, and what about when they hunt down anyone in a car by helicopter and blow them up? What then?

Do you think there’s a major transit stop every half mile in LA? Those are the only residences affected by this. Like, that would be nice if we did have that many, but that’s not the situation here. We’re already a fucking parking lot, we don’t need more parking spaces. We need housing and public transit.

It’s like water sanitation. Mixing 100 liters of tainted water with 1 liter of clean water doesn’t give you 101 liters of clean water. It doesn’t even give you 100 liters of dirty water and 1 liter of clean water, it gives you 101 liters of dirty water. That’s why ACAB.
