  • I have had a very similar experience. I still avoid driving whwnever I can. A different take on what your father said, I think a car accident is just another, fairly common, lesson in how to drive. It can be true both that almost everyone has had an accident AND that being in an accident can be traumatic and very off-putting. Your feelings are absolutely valid. Sadly, in the U.S., being able to drive is more or less required to be able to participate in pretty much anything.

    Ultimately, my crash drove me to be a much more careful and aware driver, and while I still hate to drive, looking back I think being in an accident was probably inevitable for me. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I can’t give advice or anything, just wanted to share.








  • It’s not 40k! It’s a physics professor who gets turned into a vampire, learns magic, and get isekai’d. Every book is a hard left turn from the one before, so I can’t tell you a ton about them without major spoilers, but they’re really really great. Specifically topical is magicians are different from wizards. Magicians learn spells by rote and are like phd engineers, they might only make one new spell every few years but it’s gonna be damn efficient and effective. Wizards are the magical garage tinkerers, rarely learning spells academically like magicians do but cobbling together what they need on the fly. It’s a fascinating setting because it is sort of magically learning stagnant, with the people capable of the highest feats of magic incredibly specialized in a domain not develping much new, while the innovators are the ones who are weaker and more downtrodden. I cannot recommend it enough.

    I only ever watched one video of his, over a decade ago, and it thoroughly convinced me he was a annoying arrogant dumbass. Stretched “the fingers on the oversized asbestos suit the tf2 pyro wears are even lengths, so therefore they’re a woman” into a 10 minute video.








  • Trans woman here

    You aren’t embarrassing yourself, you look perfectly fine. Looking at it from a perspective to criticize and provide advice (take this with a heaping mound of salt, my fashion sense is pretty underdeveloped), I think that it feels… rather low cut? in general, not a breast size thing, just a slightly off proportion of dress to skin I think, if that makes sense. Again, you look perfectly fine, this wouldn’t come to mind casually. Personally, I think this dress for you is a really good opportunity to play with larger necklaces, lean into it accessory wise. Not to fill the space, but disrupt it. You also might want to ask in the women’s stuff community for a woman focused perspective, not that men don’t have fashion sense or can’t give good advice, it’s just different judging fashion when they aren’t the ones wearing that kind of thing.
