  • 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.








  • If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

    Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

    Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.








  • Reminder that if you were born before 1989 in the US, your MMR vaccine may not be up to date. Prior to 1989 one shot was considered fully vaccinated, then they switched to two. One shot protects something like 93% of people and the second vaccine bumps it up to something like 97%. If you don’t have your vaccine records you can have your doctor check your immunity with a blood test.
