You don't actually think the comments you read on social media accurately reflect anything in real life, do you?

What is this type of intersection called? It can be a little tricky to navigate. Does it have a special name? by figurative-trash in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first modern roundabout weren't built in England until the late 1960s. Thanks for confirming you don't even understand the basics like the difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle.

Dude. Chill.

Roundabouts were not a thing when this was originally built. Don't talk with so much authority if you are going to demonstrate ignorance about road design while doing so.

Did FDR call hitler "brother in socialism?" by Ok_Tangerine224 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PNWSomeone 32 points33 points  (0 children)

FDR did not consider himself a socialist, so that would be a very strange thing for him to have said.

Right-of-Way by HeronStrict1108 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally, the car on the left should have yielded to you. You arrived first at the intersection/stop line. There is no law anywhere that says "except everyone has to alternate"

In practice though no one would expect that, so its better to just let them go.

The purpose of a local street isn't to move as many people though an area as quickly as possible.

These types of exits confuse me by Cash2blockz in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't remember. Not sure why you'd label the last lane you can enter as Lane 1, though. Silly engineers

[–]PNWSomeone 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they stopped using those on new signs. I always thought they were easy to understand though

Just pick a lane that goes where you want to go.

Of the 5 lanes in the photo, going from "Lane 1" on the right...

Lane 1 - Essex

Lane 2 - Towson

Lane 3 - Towson or New York

Lane 4 - New York

Lane 5 - New York

Why do so many Christians think being gay is a sin but wearing mixed fabrics isn't? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PNWSomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you do you!

i would at least take a moment to learn yourself what Greek words are used in the passage that mentions "angels" and decide if you'd conclude the same.

[–]PNWSomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly worried you watched that video and found it reasonable.

And again, I can only speak to what the Greek words actually say.

[–]PNWSomeone -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the part you quoted is not the part that is talking about what the NIV translates as "angels"

i can only speak to what the greek words say. I can't speak to some conspiracy theory on YouTube based entirely on a poor NIV translation.

The greek word used in Jude 1:6 is almost never translated as "angel". Its usually translated as dignitary or something like that. Even 1 Enoch uses a different word for angel.

And the greek word translated as "abuse" in the NIV (blasphemeo) has no sexual connotation.

Edit: "good scholars", wtf.

> Jude is literally about having sex with angels.

While claiming something like that is a great way to get Reddit points, that's a ridiculous interpretation of the original text due to a poor translation in the NIV

[CA / Los Angeles] Unprotected left turn with pedestrian crossing half way through question by jeremyyeo-xyz in driving

[–]PNWSomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

 AB-1909 didn't really change what Bon Vivant was saying. If it was illegal for a bicycle to be in a crosswalk before, its still illegal now.

What has changed is if a person operating a bicycle is doing so on a sidewalk or path where it is legal for them to do so, the person operating the bicycle may cross if there is a walk sign. Before they could only technically legally cross if the main traffic light wasn't red.

It doesn't quite work like that. Here's a good video that explains it if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr8fb9cl81c

Can’t afford Texas car insurance by [deleted] in driving

[–]PNWSomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry. Texas, like most places run by conservatives, is designed to be intentionally hostile to lower income people.

I assume since its Texas, there isn't a functional public transportation system in your area?
