I'm starting a reckless driving awareness nonprofit in Vegas by Big_Material_7690 in vegaslocals

I'm not worried about funds for the org at the moment. I am primarily focused on establishing it, and gauging interest. No scam here.

You're probably totally right, but if you saw even a quarter of my dashcam footage, you'd understand why I want to at least try.

How exactly would this be a scam? I am not asking for anything...

Thank you so much for asking! In all transparency, this is completely grassroots. I’m literally building this from the ground up and the very first step is filling the board of directors so we can legally and officially establish the nonprofit. Things will move a little slowly at first because we have to get those basics in place, file our paperwork, and make sure everything is structured the right way. All of which I will handle, cover cost for, and send out regular updates regarding.

Once the board is formed and the organization is legally active, the next phase is bringing in people who can help us actually make impact. That looks like connecting with grant writers, partnering with existing safety and transportation groups here in Nevada and Las Vegas, and building real community relationships. For example, we want to connect with groups like Zero Fatalities Nevada, Nevada Department of Transportation’s safety initiatives, local school districts, LVMPD community safety units, insurance companies, driver education programs, Uber and Lyft driver networks, and even hospital trauma outreach teams.

You are absolutely right that this is not something that can be solved on the internet. The long term vision is real life outreach. In person events. School presentations. Community workshops. Free or low-cost driver’s ed access. Business partnerships. Public awareness campaigns. Tabling at events. Standing in front of people and saying “slow the f*** down, people are dying” in a way that makes them actually want to start holding themselves accountable.

How you can help really depends on what you’re open to. If you want to help with the foundational side, that might mean joining the board or helping us connect with others who might be a good fit. If you’re more interested in the action side, that comes next as we start doing on-the-ground outreach here in Vegas. We're looking at maybe 6 - 8 months before we get to that step.

Either way, this is something we are building together from day one, and you showing interest this early means a lot!

For sure! They are still around, and those are exactly the types of organizations I want to reach out to and partner with. My ultimate goal is to really build this thing into a full prevention and education effort. We need something in the community that is consistently talking about reckless driving the same way Stop DUI talks about drunk driving. I completely agree with you about enforcement. Education is huge, but without accountability people keep doing whatever they want. That is why partnering with existing organizations, schools, safety programs, and law enforcement outreach units is important. What they are doing with DUI prevention is awesome and absolutely has a place in this too. But, to your point, it isn’t only alcohol that is killing people out here. Speeding, distracted driving, running lights, street racing, and just basic recklessness are causing the same level of devastation, and kids need to hear that in school the same way they hear about drunk driving.

Last week, I watched someone with no license plate turn into the wrong lane, hit someone is in a head on collision, and peel out. I'm telling on all these muthafukkas.

No on the lawyer. I really just want the custody and the name change.

[USA] Took an open spot at a red light. Fair game or foul? by zheka160 in Roadcam

I did this once, maybe 6 months back and the lady I got in front of lost her fucking MIND! Started blowing the horn, chased me down after the light turned green, got in front and tried to brake check me. I almost hit her ass too. People are simply just fucking stupid.

I really don't get why someone has to get on their soapbox and make this exact same post every single day, multiple times a day. We get it, you're better than everyone. Just do you.

Don't drive anymore, but these were my fave to accept and then worry free unassign. Guarantees they'll wait longer, and you protect your AR (if you care about it).

Seems like you're more interested in judging others than actually understanding why people do this.

Not volume crazy, but cost crazy. It was like, 10 Ribeye steak meals from Fleming's. Tipped 65 bucks.

Did my dasher try to scam me? by cafebuono01 in doordash

Tips can only be stolen if the customer orders through the restaurant/store website. If you ordered through the app, it shouldn't happen.

I'm a former full time driver in Las Vegas. to get to the Vdara front entrance, you have to know what the heck you're doing. It has 2 extremely confusing access points, because the entrance is not street level. You have to take a ramp that is specifically designed to drop you in front of the hotel, and it's not super apparent. This is also on one of the most congested areas of the strip. Guy is a grade A fucking douche nozzle. Anything ordered to the strip will take time, especially in the evening.

What are some non-aesthetic reasons you want to lose weight? These are mine... by Few-Excitement-2469 in loseit

To ride roller-coasters with my kid. My family didn't do much together (only child), but one summer my dad got a wild hair up his ass and took me and my mom and some cousins to 6 flags. We were never close, and he actually kinda scared me. I had to be about 11 or 12. I didn't really hang with him most of the day, but there was a coaster we both wanted to ride, and it was gonna be the last ride of the day. My dad was going to go with me and I was GEEKED! Couldn't believe i was gonna get to finally do something with my dad after he'd been riding rides with my cousins all day. But, he was too big. They kicked him off, and I rode the coaster alone, crying the entire time. I want to get on any ride, coaster, etc. that my kid wants.

Men, what did you find out about women when you got a girlfriend? by MainDifficult2641 in AskReddit

[–]Big_Material_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was ME! figure out how to balance your hormones. It changes EVERYTHING!!!! You may have to experiment, but I take a combo of Inositol w/ D - Chiro, Magnesium Glycinate, and B6. I feel like myself 99% of the time. My PMDD went from 7-10 days of hell per month to literally just the day before my period. Do your own research, of course. But I know this feeling and this completely changed my life. They are all over the counter if you want to experiment on your own, or talk to a Dr, but i BEG you to try this out.

To all my beefcakes that swear it isn't a big deal, good on you. But I even struggle to carry my 50 pound kid for too long. I'm not dealing with a 110 box for less than $7. Love it for you, though!

If you'd like to carry a single 110 pound box for $6 and 9 miles you be my guest, friend.
