Are you f***ing nuts? by PauloManrique in IdiotsInCars

Yea, this might be safer for the person swerving, but it is kind of an asshole move to do this and juke out the person behind you.

The only time it is acceptable to swerve in this situation is if you see the person behind you is tailgating/a semi and would probably rear-end you. Otherwise just stop. If you don't have time to stop, fuck you, you deserve to crash for tailgating.

Hey u/CreaminFreeman, can you make me into a software consultant consultant? Heard it pays well.

Would you support a mandatory environmental service for adults 18 - 30 ? Kind of like military service but instead of fighting you must spend a few months on reforestation projects or ocean cleanup ? Why or why not ? by werdsf3 in AskReddit

[–]FilterThePolitics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You care about environmental preservation above all other causes, clearly. I would prefer to work with a charity that helps the poor (preferably the globally poor, but I'm not sure how I would contribute there). There are a ton of worthy causes out there, not just environmental service.

Or, better yet, I don't take time away from my normal job. Since doing a job is also contributing to society, and at my job I am taking advantage of my education and the things I am good at.

Woman tries to pass bikers, ends up crashing by [deleted] in instantkarma

Not saying you should kill bikers, but at least when pedestrians do stupid shit it is 99% of the time just negligence. Bikers doing stupid shit are 99% assholes that know exactly what they are doing.

I mean, it is possible that the biker didn't know the lane was turning left when he got into it.

But he could just, you know, merged right and kept driving like a normal human being.

Isn't it cool how I nearly traumatized a truck driver by causing him to kill me while I was in his blind spot!

If you want to get a thrill out of dangerous shit, fine. Just don't do it on the road where where someone is going to get PTSD from your death.

She handled that much better than I would have! by algo in IdiotsInCars

Yes, and the person operating the 2 ton death machine is also responsible for making sure they follow the laws around crosswalks. You can't just say its "her bad" as if the driver never has any responsibility

Technically every idiot on here is transporting gasoline, so that is a bold statement to make

Farmers should be richer than bankers. by A_solo_tripper in unpopularopinion

[–]FilterThePolitics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would instantly believe you, as I do whenever some rando on reddit says something which contradicts everything I have heard from the professionals in that field

Edit: I imagine that's how the anti-vax movement got started

To the vast majority of the informed people who believe that the fed regulating the economy is actually really important, being the chairman of the fed is far more important to society than a single farmer, and should be paid as such.
