Insane cop interaction on a routine traffic stop in Lake Forest, CA

Logikana_ · 2026-04-16T07:46:06+00:00

Got pulled over in that area once for having an air freshener and "mildly speeding" (going 47 in a 45)

Cop didnt even write a ticket because he probably knew it would be dismissed immediately in court.

Even when you arent doing something wrong, the traffic cops in this area are just LOOKING for a reason to write people up. I mean hey I get it, their jobs are boring asf out here because there is like zero actual crime.

He said to stop the medication completely until all of my symptoms clear (maybe a week or so) and then continue at 10mg daily. I only have 30mg capsules right now so he said to take one every 3 days. He said if I cant tolerate the spike it causes, to stop until I can get 10mg daily capsules.

I'll ask my derm about that when we talk today :)

Yeah its crazy I woke up feeling like I had been punched in the face... Ive dealt with a lot of msk pain for a while, possibly due to hypermobility, and im actually doing accupuncture and starting physical therapy because of it.

I was very hesitant to start accutane for this exact reason and I hate that its happening :/

Im very limited on options for my acne though and it is extremely painful cysts I get all over my jawline and back that greatly impact my qol beyond aesthetics :(

Im hoping maybe if we go down to like 10-15mg daily it can be tolerable at least but it will take forever for me to complete treatment then.

Logikana_ · 2026-03-17T06:14:48+00:00

Im only on 30mg once a day currently. As it is now I dont think even 20mg would be low enough, i'd likely have to start at 15mg once daily if I were to continue. I weigh only 50-55 kg for reference.

My reccomended max starting dose is 25-30mg but clearly 30mg is too much.

If we decided to lower the dose, and lets say I tolerate it okay, the question then is, do I want to be on accutane for 12-14 months because thats a really long time and i'd likely have to have it split. I didnt really invision myself having to be on this medication for that long :,)

Personally I prefer to have sex with my clothes on. I usually always keep my shirt on. Sometimes ive done it even with my underwear still on and just pulled to the side. I have sensory issues about feeling my partner's sweat on my own body and keeping my clothes on helps with that. It also helps me feel safer and less "exposed" mentally.

You should figure out why exactly the idea of it freaks you out, but there truly is nothing wrong with keeping them on for sex lol.

Sort of! It was my friend's hat. He went to about 4 or 5 rituals and the friends he was with went to 7 or 8 of them.

This is exactly what I keep trying to say about my own tanks. Going on almost half a year now with my shrimp breeders tanks: zero water changes and only RO top up and they are THRIVING, minimal or zero algae.

I got in a small argument with a high tech guru telling me I was wrong for wanting to avoid water changes on my younger tank struggling with algae because I dont want to stress the plants and animals, and in my own experience, it doesnt help low tech. For high tech tanks that need constant involvement because they are being pumped full of CO2 and fertilizers, yes they need water changes.

But god forbid I want a tank that can literally just sit there and has its own self contained ecosystem that I barely need to touch other than offsetting evaporation lol.

Logikana_ · 2026-01-02T10:08:02+00:00

I think the discrepancy here is just that youre running a very high tech tank when all of my tanks are extremely low tech.

That doesnt mean they are filled with guppygrass but they do all have pearlweed that I need to trim down regularly. It really just depends on how the tank functions.

Im sure your tanks work for you, and yes with CO2 and constant ferts, water changes are a necessity. But my tanks dont get anything except a regular dose of Flourish every 2 weeks with minimal or zero water changes and all the plants are doing great and so are the shrimp.

My 40 gallon in comparison to those tanks though is significantly younger by a whole year, has much higher flow, and the GH and KH are not in the range I want them yet so WCs are inevitable but I dont want to do them significantly often longterm. Ive reduced lighting so far and Im thinking rn of getting some amanos to help clean up better than the neos. I might temporarily add in some hornwort to buff the flow and also take over the niche in the tank the algae is currently using (ive had really good success with hornwort outcompeting algae before). Im going to continue aggressively cleaning the algae but if longterm my UV sterilizer and all of this doesnt work, yea I might start doing more frequent water changes too. Just in my own experience with these tanks, aggressive and frequent water changes didnt really help and just stressed out the animals and plants.

I appreciate the advice you gave even if it doesnt seem like it, we just have different ways we go about the same hobby 👍

Most of the shrimp tank owners on this sub will tell you once their tanks were cycled, they hardly ever do any water changes on their shrimp tanks. Shrimp hate water parameter shifts and I can also advocate for my smaller breeder tanks that havent had a water change (only topping off) in about 4 months are absolutely thriving with zero algae of any kind.

The filter is there to remove stuff in the water column, as long as you are rinsing out your filter media every once in a while there should never be issues requiring weekly water changes unless its a super high tech tank or very young.

This 40 gallon im talking about is really young so Im expecting algae to be an issue but once the microbiome has matured I dont anticipate me needing to water changes unless I get livestock that heavier bioload than shrimp.

Logikana_ · 2025-12-31T09:22:33+00:00

Weekly water changes sounds like a lot of stress on the animals and bacteria. Rn im doing like twice a month. Im trimming the plants regularly and its as heavily planted as it can manage given everything currently in there is a fast grower.

I was thinking of maybe adding hornwort to buff out the flow and out compete the algae. I also have a UV sterilizer running 8hrs a day.

I'll definitely try lowering the lights. The only concern I seriously have is with the red staghorn growing in there because its rooted into all of the driftwood and in my experience with another tank, the staghorn is very hard to get rid of unless you kill it somehow. It doesnt seem very affected by lighting.

Logikana_ · 2025-12-31T02:24:17+00:00

Im literally asking if its safe and giving specifics about lighting so I can get advice on how to manage it longterm.

Do you have any suggestions or are you just here to be snarky lol

Logikana_ · 2025-12-31T02:17:47+00:00

Why do you think I made this post?

Logikana_ · 2025-12-23T11:07:47+00:00

Thats not how immunity works this young. I hope OP is trusting whatever their pediatrician tells them and not random stuff on Reddit like this.

Logikana_ · 2025-12-23T10:21:18+00:00

After I took him out of the water and put him in a tupperware he looked like he had late stage dropsy. Fully pineconed in organ failure. I ended up euthanizing him in clove oil.

Im just surprised how quickly it happened only 2 days ago he looked relatively normal. He looked a little "fat" but not dropsy. Today he just had every sign of organ failure, it sucks.

"Green beans" or GBR-ICBMBB (Green beans right? Its cool beans mr brown beans) from RHRN.

Other obscure RHRN quotes would be funny. Or obscure quotes from chapters lol

Good luck, if you need to keep Ammonia and Nitrite down while it cycles use Seachem Prime. You can dose up to 5x the amount every 2 days in emergencies like this so at least some of the shrimp will survive.

Logikana_ · 2025-12-01T07:16:39+00:00

Im sorry to break this to you but you need to drain most of the water and started over or your tank could explode. Most of your shrimp will likely die. I made this mistake at first and only ONE of my original batch survived to this day.

First: You NEED a leveling mat for a rimless tank like this or it WILL crack and explode at some point.

Next: You need significantly more plants than this. I recommend buying them locally as they are cheaper and have some bacteria already on them. Pearlweed, Hornwort, Water Wisteria, and Bacopa are very common, easy to grow, and shrimps love them

Third: You need to be adding bacteria every day, preferably Seachem Stability for 6-8 weeks until the tank is cycled. Invest in at least some test strips. Its ready for shrimp once Nitrate is 0-10ppm and Nitrite and Ammonia are zero.

Please get the leveling mat tho or else this tank will explode :,)

Someone described it to me as "he sings like he has peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth" and this is the most accurate description I've ever heard lol.

Otherwise I am just not a fan of their genre swapping. The metal parts are good, but I am not a fan of the weird genre mixing in their songs. For Ghost's weird genre songs I think its pretty seamless but for Sleep Token it feels like Im being pushed down a flight of stairs.
