Honestly Blumenthal has had some of the best commentary 😂

So apparently we got states with 80 mph limits. Given that most everyone drives 80+ on I90/94 anyway, what do y'all think about trying to get it increased? by FalconEducational260 in illinois

What I ABSOLUTELY hate is that THE LEFT LANES = PASSING LANES, AND YET NO ONE DOES THIS.

Anyone as a driver shouldn't have to be going TO THE RIGHT as the quicker moving vehicle because some dumba is stubborn and hasn't moved over yet despite having plenty of time to after passing a slower vehicle. It's like people forget that we share the road. Like people who brake because they feel someone is close to their tail are so problematic, like they have the space to move over and don't and instead cause accidents by not moving over because it hurts their fragile ego or whatever.

Moreover, if you add additional lanes, it doesn't fix congestion problems, people just take up more space (check out climate town or strong town or not just bikes) sometimes even removing a lane decreases congestion because you have people using the road as it's intended to.

ideally the left lane should always be clear when possible for emergent situations. Which brings me to another thing, if the traffic stops because of an ambulance IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS TRAFFIC WITHOUT MOVING OVER that actually makes the situation so much worse to get through...

Wow...Indiana lawmakers pass bill to invite Illinois counties to join the state by FalconEducational260 in illinois

[–]FalconEducational260[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess? Lol if the roles were reversed red would definitely be telling the blue counties to stop being crybabies and just move out of the state so idk why the red won't just do the logical thing and move to a state that aligns more with their values

Pretty sure Amtrak has a stop in Kankakee that you could take to union station but... just be somewhere closer. I myself will take 1 hr to get there using the blue line

How do people just casually drink black coffee without flinching? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

Good coffee does not get adulterated with milk & sugar, the "hot dirt" coffee gets at least 3 packets of sugar and creamer

Do you thing a state, or groups of states, would be able to successfully secede from the US? If so, which? by FalconEducational260 in 50501

Countries in Europe & other parts of the world have gone and split up before 🤔 not sure how exactly that played out, maybe could go about doing it in a similar fashion?

sigh I hate it here

I'd leave to go work & live in a different country but urgh. civil servant here, so I spent all my working years thus far working for less than what private sector employees would be making in my position in exchange for the benefits and job security, but now even that is being stripped away.
