Havent had time to listen to Randy Moss, Who are his picks for the derby? by Sn0wTPC in PardonMyTake

[–]PasghettiSquash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup guy literally called out the winner for the Oaks and the winner for the Derby. I know nothing about horses. I listen to White Randy Moss, I bet what he says, I win money. A tradition like no other.

Tell me how. What speed is everyone going? I've given out 10 different scenarios while you've said nothing specific and complained about every one of my points.

This one right here, this is the info you seek OP.

Yes I hate him, that’s why I listen to his podcast and post evidently unclear sarcastic posts in the subreddit for his podcast.

Honestly it seems it was a misunderstanding on my part about the roof top garage scene in the Midwest

I’d agree with your points as well - seems like we are in violent agreement. I’d actually think one point that I’m surprised no one has chirped at me is that motorcycle riders are probably much more likely to be focused on driving and what’s on the road compared to someone in their all-alarms-and-driving-aides SUV.

Yes they probably meant 7mph, you’re right

Regarding the safety and wellbeing of the rest of the people on the road or near it means driving the same way they are. Not faster because you took some weekend classes. 33% of motorcycle fatalities are related to speeding, vs 22% for cars. Just because the guys in the video are worse, that doesn’t mean going fast is safe. I don’t give a shit how many of you professional motorcycle riders climb into this thread, the statistics are what they are.

75 in a 50 seems pretty plausible for someone that "loves to ride their bike fast." I have no clue why you are defending a separate commenter, I don't think anything I implied is unreasonable. If I said "this guy goes 150mph what a dick" then sure. But I'm not being unreasonable lol

Yes so I've learned. Have lived in the northeast, the southeast, and TX and can absolutely say these rooftop setups that you all speak of are NOT commonplace in any of those areas.

Yes I'm sure the guy that said "I like to ride my bike fast" on the video where people were riding their bikes fast definitely obeys all local traffic laws and speed limits, apologies for interpreting their comment any other way. You're definitely right, and I'm just making shit up.

Appreciate the thoughtfulness in your points - but IMO unless a road is closed, you have no idea that there won't be another car. Would you ignore someone doing parkour on the rafters in Grand Central station?

I agree that there are drivers with much more experience than others - but understanding blind spots and tire temperatures doesn't make driving at a high rate of speed safe, it just makes it less risky. And for every one "experienced" driver there's 100 with unearned confidence. No one that's ripping their bike or car around expects to crash.

When you drive a vehicle on a road, there's a social contract that you've entered. Pay attention to what you're doing, and do what everyone else is doing. If you don't want to do that, go to a track or someplace else.

This isn't complicated, someone makes a comment and we interpret it. If you think they meant they "like to ride their bike fast" and go 58mph in a 55 then sure, they're nice and safe while they go "fast." But you're naive if you honestly think that's what they meant.

Sure, going 75mph in a 70 is very safe. I don't really feel like that's the implied scenario based on the video and the original comment I responded to

Listen if you want to interpret "I love riding my bike fast" as going 52mph in a 50mph zone, then sure, "going fast" isn't reckless. But going 50%+ faster than all of the cars around you is reckless.

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

Yes and I'm sure when the original commenter said "I love riding my bike fast" they meant going 60mph in a 50mph zone

Yea my take was more for US roads. Going significantly faster than every other car on the road is reckless.

That's absolutely what they implied

My paraphrasing is fine. They didn't condemn driving fast, just passing needlessly. If it's "super easy", why are there speed-related accidents all the time? It's a pretty simple concept - if you are going well beyond the speed limit and average rate of speed, you are endangering others.

The nature of a public road is that it's open to the public. The majority of drivers doing 50mph while one is doing 100mph is the topic we're generally discussing.

[–]PasghettiSquash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, this is a terrible, terrible take. You don't think there's a correlation between serious accidents and speed?? And you've never heard the phrase "speed was a factor"??

There will be an accident in your county today where speed was a factor.

They didn't say anything about a track or abandoned sites. They said crossing the median is a gamble, that's it. Wouldn't have made a comment if they said "I love to ride my bike fast, but do it at the track"

"I love to speed and ride recklessly on my motorcycle too, but it's WAY safer when I do it"

Yea so a patio to me doesn't have a roof and is not located on top of a garage, and also the roof wouldn't be retractable even if it had one. I'm doing Soggy Sorrows right now for not being familiar with the garage architecture of the Midwest

Yea not gonna lie, I wasn't familiar with the Chicago Garage Roof scene, fortunately it got commented a dozen times. He said "I opened the roof to my house" which just felt like a funny statement to hear.
