TBF foot/leg pain to a 20 something, is not the same as chronic pain due to an injury, so i’m not discounting you, just voicing my experience.
also, i was smoking 'mersh not the medical grade stuff, so…
Reminds me of that short film where a drone mis identifies a guy going to work as a criminal and he ends up going to prison for 10 years but he ends up inadvertently getting blamed for a crime inside, so it gets bumped 25 to life instead. It does eventually get straightened out, but not before he gets shivved.
the first time i took Hydrocodone was after I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I slept a full 8 hours, got up, took my next dose, and then proceeded to pass out for ANOTHER full 8 hours. I put two and two together pretty quickly and just decided to deal with the pain.
that’s kind of how it works though. The first time i took weed I was doing 12 hour shifts in kitchen work, and i noted how it didn’t remove the pain, it just made me stop careing about it.
But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?
Sadly toyotas and Hondas are outliers in this area. Owned A 15’ Venza until it got t boned this winter. still a bit cheezed about that. GREAT car, BTW. 110% recommend if you find a used one with low miles.
In the 1990’s you could look in the Uncle Henry’s and get a decent used car for like $300. you’d register it, and it would last you a few years until it was too expensive to fix, (or it wouldn’t pass state inspection) then you’d move on. In the early 2000’s you could look on craigslist and find a decent used car for $500. Same deal. But by the time the housing bubble burst, I came to the realization that whatever the price of the car was, it would cost you $3,000 at the end of the day just to get it up and running. By the end of the 20 Teens, that number was $5k, and side of the road sales were junk that the seller knew was about to be REALLY EXPENSIVE to fix so wanted out from under it. These days, don’t buy used from a private seller unless it’s a collectable: the car is a money pit and they know it. This is one of those things where the auto industry enshittified to kill the resale market. Now they are starting subscriptions for features you used to get as standard. the infuriating thing is that the tech exists to build a car that will last 30-40 years, little major maintenance, but “it’s not profitable,” so they won’t.
that they expected it to eclipse real people AT ALL is both telling and slightly disturbing.
while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don’t need to select your words quite as much.
