    And the super bright disco LED flashers that all the emergency (etc) vehicles have now. I’ve gotten migraines from them. What was wrong with the old lights that didn’t stab your brain through your eye sockets?

      I hate the emergency disco lights. I have epilepsy and the lights fuck with me. I don’t go into seizures when exposed to the lights because of my meds, but I do I get raging migraines from them.

        I feel you, my epilepsy friend. I’m so sorry you deal with that! I have photosensitive seizures along with my others, and those mofos aren’t well controlled yet (workin’ on it with treatment trials), and it helps to wear my ultra-filtered polarized, darkened lenses when out at night, especially, but it’s still the shittiest gamble, if I won’t just be suddenly noping out mid-sentence in the car (my spouse does any driving, I obviously can not, haha). Still the damn stabbing pain, though, jesus christ.
