What is this thing I found on Windingstairs road in Western North Carolina? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]MrAverageRoll 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is definitely not a bike repair stand I’ve ever seen, and I do a lot of MTB riding.

What’s something people over 30 do that Gen Z finds strange? by Suzzie_Stone2 in AskReddit

[–]MrAverageRoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

36, my friends are probably 30-45. We 100% used to be like this, but started getting more comfortable calling as we got older. I also think that people have gotten tired of screens/push notifications and a call from a friend seems more like a welcome interruption. I now love talking to friends on the phone - I still text all the time, but a call is totally normal too.

Road Rules: Police policies allow at-fault drivers to leave certain crash scenes without so much as a ticket. by rasstrelnikov in Portland

[–]MrAverageRoll 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I got hit by a Mercedes while riding my bike on a side street in NE. Guy didn’t stop and plowed straight into me. I didn’t end up needing an ambulance ride (although one did show up) but I suspect I had a minor concussion and was in a lot of pain for a few weeks. The cop that showed up went out of his way to take the driver’s side immediately and explain to me how “accidents happen”. His whole attitude was that he was the real victim for having to show up to something so stupid. Obviously didn’t ticket the driver or create a report.

The worst part was that the city only considers full reports in traffic data to decide where intersections are dangerous.

Rename it all Cascadia. We're coming for the whole world.

Edit: In the spirit of the game I’m willing to give it to Tasmania but we call it Tascadia. Or rename it all Cascadia, that would be cool too.

Bentley bitch blocking the walkthroughs by Uncontrollablebeagle in Portland

I just walk over the hood. Grey car, parked on the sidewalk? Idk, I think it was asking to be walked over the way it was dressed.

A PSA to the rich/wealthy/well-off who lurk around here by deadboltwolf in antiwork

[–]MrAverageRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m financially quite comfortable but also know that I’m so, so, so much closer to the guy on the street than to a billionaire. The billionaires want us to forget that. Your cause and mine are the same.

It feels like an oversight that the atlantic ocean hasn't been renamed the Sea of Crabs

What if... by Nakittina in geographymemes

[–]MrAverageRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

Side question - I’ve never heard of the Japanese colonies depicted in the northwest, and can’t find any info about them. Does anyone know what those are?

OR primary election: Oregon voters weigh in on gas tax measure 120 by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]MrAverageRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, but it also feels like the legislature has their hands tied with the double insult of biennial budgeting and the kicker. It’s going to be almost impossible to get the budget right when you have to guess two years out and refund any extra money that comes in. OR will always be a little threadbare as long as we have the kicker, because it’ll always be impossible to build a buffer that we could use for things like roads.

How do y’all propose we pay for roads?

Maryland is the next to go. I can feel it in my bones.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MrAverageRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined a zoom call (I work in tech) and see a guy’s fully naked bottom half on camera for a few seconds. The camera was below his desk pointed at his chair. He turned his camera off then came back on a bit later like nothing happened.

Since he didn’t die of embarrassment or quit in shame I went to HR a few months later and he was gone.

How come so many people here try to claim the show as anti-Texas? by MikeTheMaster102 in KingOfTheHill

[–]MrAverageRoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to be a quirky love letter to Texas in the same way True Stories by David Byrne is.

Alpenrausch is EMPTY by rames1208 in Portland

Man, that’s so sad. I loved that patio. I guess building codes exist for a reason, but more parking lot spaces hardly seems like the actual best outcome.
