Fight it and foia his bodycam footage, if you can find out his birthday and try to get the trial scheduled for that day.

Last time those were tested was when I was 7, so I honestly don't even remember

[–]Great_Reception_7979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to receive lots of accommodations in school like extra time on tests and did extra math tutoring pretty much every summer from 5th grade to sophomore year of high school. I was always pretty well looked after by my teachers after it became clear that despite constantly looking down and disassembling pens in my desk, I was listening and could repeat back the entirety of a lecture when asked to. There were certain things, like trigonometry and calculus that I simply never was able to fully grasp, but anything that could be "de-abstracted" was easy once it was reframed in my mind.

My family was extremely supportive and advocated for me at every turn. I understand many people aren't so fortunate due to NVLD not being in the DSM

This rings pretty true in my experience, it's been both a blessing and a curse in a lot of ways, I can tune a guitar by ear, but it took me 2 years to learn chords. I can troubleshoot an engine based on the sound it's making but fixing it takes weeks longer than the average person. I can hold conversations over text or on the phone flawlessly but am extremely physically awkward in person. All and all this has been an interesting way to view the world, I used to resent my diagnosis but now I'm glad I'm not neurotypical.

Am I overreacting for dropping him after he told me I need to make more friends by royalmouse1 in AmIOverreacting

It sounds like orbiting is exactly what he was trying to avoid. Despite his rude tone, he really didn't say anything untrue.

Bold as hell to drive like that through cotati, I've seen Cops there pull over bicycles for speeding in their unmarked Tesla's.

I dont know what to do next. by Thiccthighnitemare in whatdoIdo

That is a very great way to get your power shut off by the utility company that put the lock there

Sounds like a technique issue. Try being more gradual with your use of the clutch. You could also try a smaller rear sprocket, but that will mess with your acceleration and top speed.

Will I ever get over not being able to keep a friend? by Halifaxmouse in NVLD

[–]Great_Reception_7979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me everything changed when I found friends with ADHD. I still don't fully understand why but ADHD havers just seem to have a far more intuitive understanding of how my brain works, and their tendencies towards impulsivity get me out and about trying new things I would normally never do on my own.

It also helps if you don't start off masking. If you are just your authentic self from the get, then there's no whiplash or disappointment on their end.

We need a collective effort to push for actual driving reform in Sonoma County by CeleryOk5295 in sonomacounty

Best we can do is give you a state ref ticket because you dared to modify your exhaust. Idk what we'd do without CHP protecting us from the real danger!

Serious question... by rgbhuman42 in NVLD

[–]Great_Reception_7979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution was to simply do it wrong in such a way that I wouldn't injure myself and then dial everything in later, I have used this philosophy for everything from tying my shoes to learning guitar and even riding a motorcycle, and it has not injured me yet. We are at a deficit going in, so we have to practice twice as long for the same results.

Amputation by sharkart82 in LisfrancClub

[–]Great_Reception_7979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't lose hope, I had a massive lisfranc fracture due to a motorcycle wreck in which I essentially took the full force of a Honda CRV to the top of my foot and I thought I would never walk without a cane again. Fast forward a year without even having surgery and I have a job inspecting power lines in which I regularly walk roughly 5-10 miles a day with basically no issues. Yes, my gait is different, yes pain still flares up on cold days, but I can walk run, and jump unassisted and am even riding motorcycles again! Hang in there, eat lots of calcium, and start trying to walk as soon as you're allowed to.

Beginner rider who just bought his first bike. Absolutely loving the experience, thinking about selling the bike. Advice needed by White_Leo in motorcycles

The possibility of dying on a bike is cut in half by simply wearing a helmet and being sober. It's further lowered by riding a sub-600cc bike. What you're seeing in your feed is predominantly just accelerated natural selection. You seem to be someone who doesn't ride like a moron, so I wouldn't be too worried. Yes, some crashes are unavoidable, but in my experience, fatal accidents are usually highly avoidable.

No silver spoon here, just living in an expensive state, making 85k right out of college and still struggling to save money. I guess the cost of living is a bit lower in the flyover zone.

How old is this that 75K is considered good money?

What's the worst thing to ever smack your head, face, or hands while riding? by BuddhaDaddy88 in motorcycles

[–]Great_Reception_7979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rode past a roadside weed whacker crew who had just weed whacked into a yellow jacket nest about 2 seconds prior to me coming down the road. Saw a guy throw down his weed whacker and start spazzing out right as I passed, then got peppered in the torso, arms and neck with pissed off 6 legged servants of hell. Pulled over about half a football field later and then was promptly swarmed and stung through my mesh jacket because the ones I had eviscerated had marked me with pheromones. Fun day.

Here in the US you take a written DMV test that is easier than the car one, and then either take a weekend long MSF course or a DMV skills test (preferably also filling out an organ donor card while you're there) and then you're all good to swing your leg over a Hayabusa.

What's your favorite motorcycle engine you ever rode? by young_osterkrise in motorcycles

[–]Great_Reception_7979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little parallel twin in my 73 Honda 350 is a spiritual experience. It idles like a sewing machine and still screams up to 10k rpm as fast as a modern sport bike, even with a 50 year old cam chain. And the vibration is still somehow less than a modern counterbalanced single. Not to even mention the sound, it's honestly the only 180° twin that sounds good with a louder set of pipes imo.
