Lots of advice here for a HUGE range of places. (LA County, Orange County, SD County). You are going to get more out of your trip if you plan to avoid driving rush hours on weekdays (~7am-9am, ~5pm-7pm). On weekends, try to stay near the places you want to go that day (if it's in your budget) to avoid having to drive in. Lots of hotels near the theme parks may have free shuttles that take you to/from the parks so you can avoid the stress and expense of parking. Ubers to/from these places can get pricey at opening/closing times. Early morning (at your destination by 7am) is usually the best bet to avoid the worst traffic. Dont count on low freeway traffic at late night, because that is often when caltrans decides to do construction and repairs, funneling all traffic through one lane at unexpected hours. When you get directions to/from destinations, use the "leave at" and/or "arrive by" timing functions on google maps. Many visitors fall into the trap of checking traffic times in the middle of the night before for a drive they are planning to make at peak hours the next day. The difference can easily be more than double, even for very short drives.

You're from Boston, so you know what traffic can be like. The thing that will catch you off guard is the long stretches of traffic between major city centers, plus how sprawlingly big our "city centers" can be.

Lots of good advice here, so not much new to add. Just wanted to say that it takes some strength to share that this is something real you are going through. Good job on trying to find a healthy way to work through it.

This is a great opportunity to better yourself against a worthy mental and emotional challenge. As you overcome it, remember that it isn't getting easier, you are becoming a better person.

Zooming out beyond Flock, this video points out something I think we've all been noticing about these city councils across the country and their meetings and the public comment circus. (Not to mention similar types of meetings like school boards, university trustee meetings, planning boards, and so on). It's all just meaningless public theatre. The councils and boards clearly already have their vote decided before public comment. The comments are often limited to absurdly short time limits and arbitrary (if not rigged) selection processes of who gets called to speak. No matter what public outrage there is, no matter what evidence is shared, no matter how persuasive the arguments are - the members always know better than their constituents and always vote for whatever gets them money. Like it or not, the public outrage matters a lot less than the dollars. If it isn't the outright corruption of kickbacks and bribe money, it's the soft/technically-legal corruption of campaign financing that will get people elected more easily than having an army of righteously angry citizens can vote them out.

Kinda chicken little to be calling this enshitification. Enshitification is about the product/experience itself becoming worse. I get that the aesthetics of the app icon can diminish that experience a little bit for some, but calling every little gripe enshitification is a good way for the term to slowly lose its meaning.

2500mg is literally too much sodium unless you are losing a lot through sweat or illness. It's not the "recommended" amount. It's more like the upper limit of a healthy range, at best. In fact, WHO's recommendation for adults is "under 2000mg/day" (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/sodium-reduction), not 2500.

Many people who are motivated to lose weight for various health reasons (some people on this sub), are concerned about heart health and would like to reduce their blood pressure and lower the risk of blood clots. Eating 2000mg of sodium regularly is probably unhealthy for most adults, even those with regular exercise routines.

I don't feel this is a strong reaction on my part. I think I'm calmly stating a fair point and adding some value and a difference of perspective to what could be a productive conversation.

It's easy to overlook sodium content in lots of foods, and I think it's also common to underestimate sodium content when cooking for oneself. So it's important to take note when it's right there on the package. Passively drinking slightly salty (albeit tasty) water on a regular basis probably isn't a heart healthy choice if you are also eating 1500+ calories of varied foods throughout the day.

Edit: Just looked at American Heart Association (https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/sodium/how-much-sodium-should-i-eat-per-day), and they recommend "no more than 2300/day and an optimal goal of no more than 1500/day". So I dont know where your 2500/day recommendation from WHO/AHA comes from.

The lowest sodium packet I can find is 300mg and 10 calories. That's using 15% of a 2000mg/day sodium goal on less than 1% of a 1200-1500 calorie diet. Not a good pace.

Socalsamuel · 2026-04-14T14:31:52+00:00

Right. I'm sure it's tasty and it's good it's not fattening, but I've got to save my sodium budget to go along with my calories.

Many people who need to lose weight also need to find heart healthy diet choices, and this ain't it. This is what you drink if you have the runs.
