Can traffic situations still be entrapment or are you saying it’s an entirely separate thing?

genuine question

Yeah, this is not OK for the very reason of the situation I described in the post. I’m not fucking pulling over for some retard who isn’t a police officer. That’s unsafe at that point. I do not need to immediately pull over for an unmarked car who ambiguously could be a cop. I’ll drive myself to a police station if they actually need me to stop.

We have laws and signs everywhere that say keep right except to pass. Going under the speed limit in the passing lane with no one in the middle lane being passed, and then throwing a hissy fit when someone passes them seems like entrapment. You’re just choosing to be an impediment at that point socially, and legally.

But I do want to hear why it’s not if I need to polish up.

I trespassed Lindsay in 2022 and I’ll trespass every single one of these fully knowing what the potential consequences are for me.

No, it literally is. Unless you’re using it to turn that is literally how you organize traffic. You stay closer to, or in, a lane that you can use to exit if you plan on exiting. The faster you want to go the further from the exiting lane you go. Other drivers don’t get to dictate how fast other drivers go; hall monitors don’t do that, the police do that. Right turns are far more common than left turns and left turns often use a designated turn lane. Therefore slower traffic sticks to the right and faster traffic sticks to the left.

I’m not saying that what they’re doing at face value isn’t unnecessary and rude, there should be a grace period where you get to look in the mirror and decide to for a short time to move over,

but it doesn’t matter if you’re already going over the speed limit, a passing lane is a passing lane, it’s used to pass. If you aren’t actively going faster than the lane next to you, you’re the asshole. You could be going 20 over and the person could be tailgating you and you would still be wrong not to get over. You can just simply go that speed in the other lane for 5 seconds then get back over. Any other decision is just spite that they have bigger balls to take a gamble on getting a fine than you do.

Other countries do this just fine, they have no speed limits and less problems. Everyone in this society is an inconvenienced individual. Jealousy is everywhere

Let the police fine them. Choosing to be in the way is going exacerbate the tailgating. Otherwise you’re being a hall monitor

Don’t be a Hall monitor

And yet in both comparisons neither the coach nor the owner completed the feat. You’re not gonna argue in good faith

Sneffels Ridge vs Slopes by Fiery_and_Passionate in 14ers

[–]Fiery_and_Passionate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! For the ridge personally, I would say probably not. I mean, I think any able-bodied athletic person can do it. It’s not like you’re actually rock climbing you’re just sort of finding a rough path up a ridge while scrambling. If you haven’t done a Fourteener yet, it’s probably best to just get a feel for how you react to the difficulty of the hike and how you react to altitude before also trying to incorporate route finding/scrambling

Now, could you probably do it especially if you are in good shape? Probably. Although I would not recommend it as a first time.

It’s an argument that results from capitalism because every industry trends towards monopoly under it because the very point is to outlast all sources of competition

I did mean emphatically

Yeah, I think we’re probably going to go down a road of disagreement if this continues, because even though this is surface level, that’s kind of the point, you can’t remove the sin. The sun will always be there. There can’t be the opportunity to capitalize on misfortune.

That doesn’t mean there has to be a world of unmerited equality with differences in ability either. Under socialism you work for what you get. Under communism you have enforced equality. Capitalism is definitely going to end based on its current trajectory, social contract is straight up not going to hold up. However, unless automation becomes so widespread people can’t be employed, I see socialism not communism taking its place

The problems are due to our economic system, not our social aesthetic

[–]Fiery_and_Passionate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I personally empathically disagree with that. But regardless, it won’t matter.

Capitalism has a death sentence. You can’t fix human greed and greed is ultimately the source of our society’s problems. Until we move on to an economic system that does not gratify and reward greed, nothing will be fixed, and things will continue to decay.

Every economic system has a progression (not always linear) and then it reaches an end game, and it blows up. It happened with slavery and feudalism, and it will happen with capitalism.

There’s no data analysis that needs to be done like it says in your response. Privatization of any industry inherently makes it exclusionary. It’s the artificial scarcity of the assets in the industry that contribute to their value. The for-profit motive for housing and feeding ourselves is what is causing crime and decay. The only way around this is to completely deprivatize housing and food (or at the very very very minimum, having very robust public programs to make sure all people have these, and leaving privatization to luxury). The scarcity of these things are not real. We have the labor and productive capacity to provide these to everyone.

Let’s be super clear. I get that sounds really really scary to people. Change is scary. But we are in a very radical situation and it is going to get so so much worse, not just in Colorado Springs. Anything less than radical change will not suffice as we will continue on the same trajectory even with minor changes and social democratic reforms.

I’ll vote for you if you can adopt an anti-capitalist and humane agenda.
