New tail light help

Hello all. I got these new tail lights for my 10th gen civic sport sedan and I’m planning to install them this weekend. However, they didn’t come with very clear instructions and so I’m a bit confused as to what that white socket (the one that I marked an x on) is for.

Basically, the 3 plugs that I have labeled are for the brake light, turn signal, and reverse light. Before plugging in the tail lights to the car (using the car’s wiring harness obviously), you just have to transfer the old brake light, turn signal, and reverse light sockets from your OEM tail lights to those plugs that I have labeled. As for that white socket though, that one came with these new tail lights and again, I’m not sure what it’s for. Most notably, when I take that white socket out, it’s not plugged into anything- it’s just a gaping hole in there.

I don’t wanna mess anything up when installing these and I also want to do it correctly. Does anyone know what that white socket is for?

What’s the science behind brain zaps?

Hello all. I’m on pristiq and have been on it for a few years. There have been a handful of times where i have missed a dose and then experienced brain zaps.

Today includes one of those days as I forgot my dose last night. Basically, i feel dizzy, lethargic, fatigued, and of course, have the annoying brain zaps that make you feel like you’re having a mini seizure every time you turn your head or move your eyes.

Anyways why does this happen? Especially after missing just one dose?

Driver of this truck needs to chill out

Clearly a company truck but anyways, I ended up behind this guy after he aggressively reversed out of a driveway into the road.

After that, I had a front row seat in watching him drive in between two different lanes at once, sit at the green light, speed, brake hard, and also continue through a turn only lane even after it concluded.

Perhaps he was on something or maybe he’s just an aggressive driver. Nonetheless, I quite frequently see poor driving like this come from people who are driving a company vehicle.

My theory is that the bad driving coming from someone who’s driving their companies vehicle is likely a result of them just not giving a shit since it’s not their personal vehicle (and therefore, they don’t really care what happens to it). With that being said, it seems like companies need to start monitoring their employees while they’re driving the company vehicle.

Apple Maps highlighting wrong lanes

I love Apple Maps and all, but one thing that annoys the hell out of me is that it will frequently highlight/tell you what lane to be in just for it to actually be wrong.

For an example, today I was turning left at a light (it was one of those double left turns) and Apple Maps highlighted the inner left turn lane and even told me using the spoken directions feature to turn left using that inner turn lane. Well, after my left turn, low and behold it turns out that I now need to make a right turn in just 200 something feet up ahead so here I am having to get over from the leftmost lane all the way over to the rightmost lane on a 3 lane road.

It would’ve been a million times easier if Apple Maps just told me to turn left using the outer left turn lane since that would’ve had me turning into either the middle or rightmost lane…which obviously would’ve made a whole lot more sense given that my next set of directions has me turn right just up ahead. Anyways, this is just an example from today but Apple maps does this a lot and at this point I can’t even trust what lane it’s telling me to be in😐

Desperate for answers

For the past few months (ever since around April or May) I’ve been having this issue with my Apple CarPlay when I’m using directions (like Apple Maps) on it. Basically, the display becomes all pixelated and the colors become washed out. It’s so annoying because it does this damn near every single time that I use directions via Apple CarPlay. Most of the time it will literally become so pixelated to the point where I can’t even make out the directions on the screen anymore.

On Reddit and even Facebook, I’ve seen posts from people who are having this same exact issue and upon taking a look at the comments, I just see people saying a handful of different things like: “it’s the cable” or “it’s your car” or “it’s your phone” or “you just need to reboot your headunit” etc.

With that being said, I’m not sure what the real cause of this is. Though, I will say that I don’t at all think it’s due to the cable that I’m using for Apple CarPlay because I’ve tried using a variety of different cables for CarPlay and none of them made any sort of change. I’ve also tried rebooting my head unit and even factory resetting it…again, that wasn’t any help either.

By the way, whenever my screen start getting all pixelated like this, if I click out of Apple Maps and then re open it (or do the split screen), it will temporarily fix the issue for maybe like a minute but then it will soon start doing it again :/

I have an iPhone 17 pro max and I’ve had it since October 2025. However, this issue with my CarPlay issue started in like April or May 2026 so for months even while I had this phone, I didn’t have this problem. Also yes, I have the latest software updates installed on my phone.

Any answers on what this is ACTUALLY due to would be greatly appreciated.

For those who own a Lamborghini, what is it like?

Hello all. I’m actively looking at getting a Lamborghini urus performante (my dream car) sometime soon.

Anyways, I’m curious to know what everyone’s experience with owning a Lamborghini is like so that way i can know what to expect. Some of the things that I’m wondering are:

Do you ever feel like you made a bad financial decision?

Do you ever get harassed or annoyed by other people because of your car? (example: frequently being followed by others, people hating on you and/or your car out of jealously, constantly being asked the classic “omg what do you do for a living”, ect…)

Do people out on the road seem to give you more or less respect when you’re driving your lambo?

Does the excitement of owning one of these cars wear off over time?

Type r bumper for sedan

Hello all. I have a 2019 civic sport sedan and want to put a type r front bumper on it. I’ve always disliked the look of the front bumper on the sedan and have favored the si and type r front bumpers much more. Anyways, I’m not sure if I’m going to get the bumper from the website that i have shown in the second pic or if I’m going to get one from somewhere else.

I will say though, the front bumper in the second pic does come with the fog light trims which is honestly super convenient considering everywhere else that I’ve looked for type r bumpers doesn’t seem to include the fog light trims (which means I’d just have to buy the type r fog light trims separately)

I’m aware that before putting the bumper on, I’ll have to take it somewhere to get my paint color matched since none of these companies that sell these things paint it for you but like, where would I even take it to in order to have that done?

Lastly, besides having to buy fog light panels if I happen to get the bumper from somewhere that doesn’t include them, is there anything else that I need to buy in order to make this fit on my sedan or am I good? As for the actual fog lights themselves, will the bulbs from my sedan fit into the bulb holes on the new fog light panels just fine orrr?

BEWARE: Under armour is false advertising some of their products

Alright so I bought this under armour jacket from the ua website and as you can see in the second pic (which is a picture of the jacket that I received), it looks a little different than the one that is pictured on their website…aka the one that I ordered.

If you didn’t happen to notice what I’m talking about: the UA logo is not on the chest as it’s actually on the side of the arm. Not only that, but the logo is just the singular ua logo by itself…unlike the ua logo + the boxed in “under armour” bold text that the website has shown.

At first I thought this was just ua accidentally sending me the wrong jacket, however that was quickly proven wrong when I inspected the product # listed on the tag of the jacket that I had received and then compared it to that of the one listed on ua’s website. The product numbers were the exact same. Also too, I’ve seen pics from other people who bought this exact same jacket and the one that they received looks exactly like mine (where it looks a little different than the one that ua has shown). It’s important to mention that if the incorrect photos of this jacket that ua has displayed on their store website were just an accident, then they would have corrected it by now considering that this jacket has been up on their website since mf December (that’s actually when I first saw it and added it to my favorites).

Anyways customer service was absolutely no help so I’m just gonna keep the jacket or maybe sell it for some money back. Honestly who knows how many other clothing items on ua’s website are being falsely advertised🤦🏻‍♂️

Almost got mauled by a pickup truck driver an hour ago

As the title implies, I was almost mauled by a pickup truck driver about an hour ago on 152 while I was waiting at the red light closest to the fallston rec center.

Now I know alot of people in this sub don’t like when people complain about drivers in here, I get it, but I’m posting this to inform people to please keep an eye on people approaching from behind you while you’re stopped at a light.

I was waiting at the red light when I noticed in my rear view mirror that a large ram pickup truck was flying up behind me (he was going roughly 45 mph I wanna say) and he clearly had no intention of stopping. I immediately moved my car over into the center left turn lane to avoid being slammed into by him. I drive a sedan so it would’ve been an ugly accident if I had been hit. Anyways, as soon as I did this maneuver, he slammed on his brakes HARD (I could literally smell the burning rubber from his tires) and he swerved over into the grass to avoid hitting me.

My heart was pounding and after I moved back over into my lane, he pulled back over from the grass and got right back behind me (fml). Instead of pulling over onto the shoulder to let him pass me (so I wouldn’t have to deal w him again), I just stayed where I was only because I was going to be turning soon up ahead. Well…at the very next light which happened to be red, while I was stopped, he once AGAIN came flying up behind me and almost rear ended me. Like what the actual fuck.

Honestly, the fact that he did this shit again after damn near almost causing a bad accident not even 2 minutes before this is truly concerning. Thankfully I got away from his ass since I made a turn at the very next light but nonetheless, please just keep your eye out for people like this. People do not pay attention on the roads these days and they clearly don’t learn their lesson from any previous close calls that they have had.

Facebook desperately needs improvement and yet nothing ever gets done

One thing about Facebook is they never make any useful changes to the app, nor do they seem to ever address bug issues. For one, reels are an absolute hot mess as more than half of the time they fail to load and will just appear as a grey screen.

Another thing that’s super annoying is the fact that you can’t select to view someone’s posts from a certain date or timeline. See, a relative of mine (who me and my family do not speak to anymore due to family drama), has a good number of nice family photos of all of us posted on her account from back when we were still on good terms (in which these are nice pictures that i’d love to have). Unfortunately tho, this family member of mine genuinely posts so much on her account and so I can’t even scroll to anywhere near these family photos without my phone overheating and then kicking me out of the fb app. Honestly, if fb is able to add that ai chat bot crap, then they could easily add a feature where you can selectively view someone’s posts based on the date they posted it.

I also get false notifications saying that a friend of mine just posted something new, only to open the app and see that said friend never even posted anything recently.

Oh and one last thing, what the hell is up with the inability to send friend requests because “it seems you may not know this person” like bro…that’s literally my gf’s brother what do u mean i may not know them💀

Who else is taking micro and a&p II together this semester

I’m taking micro and a&p II together this semester and have them both on the same day (thankfully they’re both a few hours apart so I’m able to give my brain a break in between them).

I took a 10 week a&p I class over the summer and got the highest grade in the class (my final grade was 100%), but that was the only class I was taking over the summer and so that’s prob why I was able to do so well. Anyways, today was my first day of fall semester and all I’m gonna say is…this is not gonna be fun lol

Idk I wanna see if anyone in here is taking micro and a&p II together this semester so I can feel less alone 💔

Bro how do people still screw this up

I just don’t understand HOW people will somehow manage to cross over into your lane during a double right turn or a double left turn despite there being a literal dotted white line separating the turning lanes from one another…

I live in an area with a good number of intersections that have double turn lanes (mind you, these intersections all have a dotted white line to separate the turning lanes form one another) and I have frequent encounters with people who will mindlessly cross over the dotted line mid turn and then I get cut off. I also see this happen to other people just as often

It makes you wonder if they need to start making these dotted lines bright flashing lights instead of pavement markings because lord have mercy

Persistent pixelated Apple CarPlay issue

I have a 2019 Honda civic and for a few months now, I have been having an ongoing issue with the graphics becoming all weird looking when I’m connected to Apple CarPlay in my car. To better explain, the screen becomes all pixelated and then the colors also look washed out. When this happens, it’s completely random and it isn’t triggered by anything specific (for an example: using a certain app on CarPlay such as Spotify). Anyways, some days my CarPlay will do this to me, meanwhile some days it will be completely fine🤷🏼‍♂️

However, I did notice that whenever this happens, if I click out of Apple CarPlay, the graphics look completely fine on my car’s display system (such as the Home Screen).

I can’t tell if this is caused by some sort of issue with my car, or if it is an Apple related CarPlay issue :/

Do people just not leave distance between them and the car in front of them anymore?

The pics I provided are from just a single 30 minute drive today. Also, the pics were taken while I was stopped at a red light (in which is the topic of this post).

Anyways, I’ve noticed that while I’m stopped at a red light, I will have absolutely no one behind me for a bit but then suddenly, someone will come speeding from up behind me and then will come to a halt just inches away from my car. I also see this happen to other people who are stopped as well.

While I’m stopped, if there’s a car in front of me, I always keep a safe distance that allows me to be able to see both of their rear tires touching the pavement (which is literally what ur taught in driving school). Yet, other people just don’t seem to believe in doing this.

It’s honestly just mad annoying when people do this and it’s also nerve wracking too because it genuinely looks like you’re about to be rear ended when you’ve got someone fast approaching from up behind you in which they decide to hit their brakes at the last mf minute (ultimately leaving them to stop literally RIGHT on your ass)

The type r is the only civic that isn’t sickeningly slow.

PSA: sorry for the rant, but hear me out.

Ok so don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my civic to death (like my civic is literally my everything fr) but the ONE thing about my car that i find to be an absolute pain in the ass is the lack of power that the car produces.

I have a 2019 civic sport sedan which features a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and is a CVT transmission. The engine only produces a whooping 158 horsepower and it doesn’t have a turbo, so essentially, it’s slow as Christmas. Now I know the other trim models (such as the EX-T and touring) produce a little bit more horsepower than mine because they have the 1.5L turbocharged engine. However, even then, those things are still producing under 200hp. As for the si, the poor thing only produces 205hp (like cmon now, the accord sport 2.0t literally produces almost 50 more hp than the si) which is honestly just sad given that the si is supposed to be one of Hondas “higher performing” cars, with the type r being placed above the si of course.

Anyways, as someone who’s civic only produces 158hp, I pretty much have to drive it in sport mode all of the time in order to have a pleasant driving experience. Believe it or not, I’ve found that when driving my civic, it’s actually dangerous to be merging onto on the highway while in drive (ESPECIALLY if the merge lane isn’t long) because the car genuinely cannot get up to highway speeds in enough time. In order words, if you’re getting into the highway, you need to be in sport, and/or need to turn the AC off.

I know you may be thinking “just tune the engine” but unfortunately thats not an option for me because I need this car to last me until i finish college and as some of you may know, tuning a CVT will just straight up kill the reliability of the car. However, I am looking to get a BMW M4 competition xdrive as my next car. Given that the bmw m4 comp xdrive is a 523 horsepower car, it’s gonna be one hell of adjustment for me since I’m going from a 158hp vehicle, to one that produces 523hp.

I just really wish that Honda didn’t make civics super slow cars. Honestly, I think Honda would have been way better off making the type r produce a horsepower of something in the 400’s, the si in the 300’s, and then the other civic models (sport, EX, EX-T, ect) around 220-250. If we’re being 100% truthful here, anything under 200hp is absolutely diabolical.

Saving for CRNA program

Hello all. Im 22 years old and am wanting to become a CRNA in the future and it is my ultimate goal. I am a nursing student currently working on my ADN, to which when I’m finished with my ADN, I plan to immediately enroll in an RN-BSN bridge program so that way I can waste absolutely no time getting my BSN (especially given that most hospitals these days want you to have your BSN, atleast where I live)

Anyways, my school is already covered for (and my BSN will be too) so I do not have any student loans to pay off from nursing school. Upon getting my BSN and securing a job as an RN, I do plan to continue living with my parents so that way I can be able to put away as much money as possible for CRNA school in the future.

I get judged when I tell people that I’m going to continue living at home with my parents until I go to CRNA school, but in reality, it’s just so I can save up as much of my RN money as possible so that way I don’t end up in severe debt from CRNA school tuition in the future (since as many of you probably already know, the tuition cost is very expensive).

Yields confuse me

I’m so sorry if this is long. Anyways, yields (aka yields that are used in replacement of right turns) genuinely give me anxiety because of the fact that sometimes you have to come to a complete stop and yield to oncoming traffic, meanwhile on the other hand, sometimes you DONT have to stop because the fact that the yield has it’s own dedicated lane that follows immediately after it.

Because of this, I get confused on whether or not I should stop when I’m using a yield. See, I don’t want to proceed through a yield without stopping and then I end up getting dumped into oncoming traffic and cause an accident (which I’ve literally seen happen to someone before) but on the other hand, I also don’t want to come to a complete stop at a yield and then hold up traffic behind me if stopping turns out to not even be necessary (like if the yield happens to have it’s own dedicated lane)

Now I know you may be thinking to yourself “um ok…well why don’t you just look ahead of time to see if the yield has a dedicated lane to use?” Well, it’s because I’ve discovered that a lot of time, you can’t even tell if there’s a dedicated lane or not UNTIL you’ve already made it through the little bend/curved part of the yield. Because of that, in the event that there turns out to not be a dedicated lane (ultimately leaving you to have to stop and yield to oncoming traffic before proceeding), then you’ll be stopped in an area of the yield where you’re out of view from the people who are coming up from behind you in which is where you can be at risk for being rear ended.

I’ve tried to go about using yields by entering and proceeding through them with sort of like a rolling stop until I’m able to get a clear view of further down the yield and can see if there’s a dedicated lane or not. However, even with taking this approach, I’m afraid that if I do end up having to stop, that someone behind me who doesn’t see me stopped will end up rear ending me.

Anyways, I used screenshots that I took from a pov drive video to use as an example of what I’m talking about. As you can see in the pics, you can’t tell if that yield has its own dedicated acceleration lane or not until you’re damn near approaching the end of the yield.
