Genuinely: don’t forget. Ask the same question 3, 6, 12, 24 months down the line. The news might change but the need won’t

Finally a level-headed take. The world isn’t ending overnight, it’ll just get shittier

Probably not. By the sounds of it, it’s “just” traffic court… You’ll be herded into a courtroom with a couple dozen others, and each of you will be called in turn to speak to the judge. Kinda like a pop quiz. You’ll be told your charge and be asked a few questions. If you’re polite and genuine you’ll likely get off easy, since people LOVE to fight back and dig their hole deeper.

Back in high school I was in a similar situation, and basically got it completely dismissed because I was young and it was my first ever infraction.

IANAL

Nice, Ron

Yours doesn’t?

The old adage “they don’t make em like they used to” heavily applies to fridges. Our 30 year old fridges in unininsulated garages (one at home, one at a workshop) keep going through all the abuse and neglect, but the 3-5 year old fridge in the kitchen always has problems. Replacing it with a different brand only slightly increased the reliability. I’d foot the electricity bill for peace of mind.

By definition you’re clean when you use it. If you hang it to dry it’s perfectly fine to use more than once

…and GrapheneOS considers my phone end-of-life and support for it will eventually stop. So unless you just got a brand new Pixel… kind of a waste.

Hard disagree. Just because it stops receiving updates doesn’t suddenly make it useless

I can see it, 196 gets a little spicy around critical events

I park in neutral since I like to sit for a few seconds, and 9 times out of 10 I’m going to be backing out anyway

It’s not just you

Even if it did, it would extrude your brain out like a can of pillsbury biscuits

Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I’m doing (and it’s kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. It really helps to have some sort of common activity that you can comment on and springboard your experiences or stories. You don’t have to be that guy that’s obnoxious and in everyone’s face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I’ve found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You’ll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don’t forget lmao. Eventually, they’ll say “Hi <name!> It’s nice to see you again. How was your day?” and then you know you’re on the right track.

Socializing is hard, especially when you’re not used to it and in this online era. If you’re friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!

Graphics chips melting is my main gripe

I’ve had decent luck with Dells. They’re not spectacular but not garbage either.

HP on the other hand…
