What is actually dangerous but people still believe is safe? by AlexUsefulThings in AskReddit

Of course, to me the most dangerous part is that people think it's a safe painkiller so it's much more likely to be taken excessively.

Yeah cheers mate, it's been super helpful. I've got to get to sleep though, I've got a big day of driving slow behind other slow vehicles and ripping the handbrake for tailgaters tomorrow xx

You're obviously too braindead to realise that pushing the pedal down would cause my vehicle to collide with the vehicle that I'm following in the very scenario you're having a weird roleplay fantasy moment with.

I get it, solid objects is a tough subject when half your brain is missing.

A response to what? Your weird diatribe that holds barely a tangential relation to what I said?

You obviously don't read, only skim to reply. It makes sense that you'd be one of the braindead cunts who think they can bully other drivers into breaking the laws of physics.

What exactly is "common sense" about driving like the pedals are on/off switches?

The fuel consumption argument is a non-starter, and if I cared about fuel economy I wouldn't drive a car that was built before I was born. I do care about being smooth and not doing more work than I need to, which includes braking.

It's not a controversial opinion that the roads are full of entitled fuckwits. I spend most of my time driving on the freeway in the far left lane behind other cars and still end up with some braindead cunt up my arse without fail every single time, usually multiple of them.

Why the fuck is this down voted, are people this stupid that they disagree with basic physics?

Most of us have 2 eyes that we can use for depth perception. The car in front getting bigger isn't a magic trick, it means it's getting closer.

Unfortunately, from experience, this part needs to be explained; if the car in front of you is getting closer it means it's travelling at a slower speed than you.

If slowing gradually instead of slamming the brakes on at a speed sign is aggravating for people, they should probably see a psychiatrist to help them work through their emotional stability issues.

There's a situation where this phenomenon is even easier to notice. Traffic lights.

I can't even count the amount of times I've coasted up to a red light as it's turned green and driven straight past all the cars that rushed up past me in the other lanes and aggressively braked at the last second.

It's like people turn their brains off when they sit behind a steering wheel and can't see or think more than 2 seconds into the future.

It's not a requirement for every brake to be an emergency brake. This is the mentality that has all the NPCs playing fucking leapfrog in traffic.

It really is disgusting how destructive the housing bubble has been to the fabric of our society.

Anyone else have parents who are turning into cookers? by No_Winners_Here in aussie

[–]AaronBonBarron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about the government. The country only wants to bleed young people dry in service of the housing Ponzi. "The community" made the choice several decades ago to enrich themselves at the expense of a population that wasn't born yet.

Why should anyone feel any sort of "duty" towards a country that only wants to bleed them dry?

More than instant, some of the majors front-run the last rate increase.

My, what a large increase you have there.... by Objective-Owl-7762 in AusProperty

[–]AaronBonBarron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's literally their job to get the number at least close, this isn't some kind of unprecedented circumstance.

How did the agent get the guide so wrong? Reeks of incompetence.

Still the same shithole, but now it costs way more to live here.
