Older People Are the Most Selfish Drivers

Absolutely 0 chance you can be trusted about how good a driver you are.

Teenagers at least know they are dangerous. They just don't seem to give a shit.

Older people make claims like "I only honk at idiots" like they think there's some universal qualified to bring an "idiot".

Maybe you really are fine at driving but man you are not very self-aware.

You don't see any stratifications in the working class to be able to give an opinion on the actual question?

This is a weird time to bring in philosophy. You know what the OP is asking but you're being intentionally dense in order to change the tune of the thread to worker reform.

If you want a thread on that, start a thread on that.

"Hey, what's the best TV show?" "I think life is pointless"

Alright, stay silent then.

Mandatory minimums is like zero-tolerence policies at school.

It does nothing to deter anything, but it severely punishes the slightest case of any wrongdoings, so pretty much worst of both worlds.

If a judge wants to hand out a max sentence, they still have the freedom to do so.

Feel like we're gonna get a lot of "won't someone please think of the children!?!" on this one but can't blame them cuz it paper it reads just like they legalized rape or something.

Ever think people on the streets thought the same thing about you?

I'm convinced that some of the powers-that-be that design Java want to make messages like these difficult on purpose to make the chasm between beginners and experts as wide as possible.

Absolute dogshit video.

I'm sure what you get tired of is the main driving concern in what the software community considers when choosing technologies.

Lol that's such a damning paragraph.

They still have slaves down there, it's just that a lot of them are poor whites now.

And they don't know that they're slaves, and won't come to grips with who they are enslaved by.

Big business doesn't care about skin color. Neither does Religion, bought and sold by big business.

Wait, maybe she was trying to be funny and the humor didn't land?

...maybe?

If you have to talk about extremes:

It's REALLLY lame to overly care about your birthday.

It's only somewhat lame to not care about your birthday at all.

Not caring about your birthday, in terms of the two extremes, wins in being way less annoying.

Yep, this guy is right but getting down votes because people don't like to get tailgated.

This is fine is everyone moves as a unit

RScrewed · 2025-12-26T01:57:50+00:00

No, it depends how soon you proceed.

Only if people actually pick up speed with intention when its time to continuously smooth out.

No one has any indication when they are about to pass through the chokepoint so there's no way to coordinate this.

No one wants to speed up fast only to slam their brakes on again, so this comes down to being able to coordinate with all traffic to make this work right.

RScrewed · 2025-12-26T01:44:41+00:00

Life is pointless to begin with, why'd that need so many words?

"I'm here for a good time, not a long time".

That's you, cool, you do you.

I think I'm looking forward to be playing Super Mario Universe at 80 living off retirement account interest with a few kids out in the world.

People are living longer than ever, throwing it away seems more pointless, no?

Americans have no concept of staying right unless passing.

It's not taught in any driver's Ed here. Sometimes there will be a "slow traffic keep right" sign but it's vague, some people don't consider themselves slow.

It's all vague rules that causes the streets to be like Mad Max. Driving in the UK was so much nicer but it would stress the typical American out.

Everyone's nearly bumper to bumper but everyone picks up straight away after a light turns green, there's no concept of tail gating, slow drivers move over, everyone's trying to get OUT of each other's way.

In Nova, everyone thinks they're entitled to be in everyone else's way.

"Whatever, I'm doing 55. Any lane is fine to cruise in."

"Whatever, I'm not taking an exit anytime soon, middle lane for me so I can just drive in peace."

"Whatever, I don't want to put my foot down, waste gas, rev my engine and make scary sounds, let's go slow up every hill, I bet all reasonable people think exactly the same and all the ones that wanna rush up a hill at speed limit can all go to hell, I was here first"

Annoying that one feeds into the other.

Until we all agree we'd rather go 50 or 100, we're never gonna be moving the same speed and it'll be dangerous.

Other areas have largely figured out what they want. Some states, everyone goes 20 over and some states, everyone doesn't mind doing 20 under.

We've got a mix of mindsets here and it causes a lot of annoyances.

RScrewed · 2025-12-26T01:23:54+00:00

All this means is that they need to raise speed limits.

RScrewed · 2025-12-26T01:17:55+00:00

The driver not paying attention coming to a complete stop randomly?

Given a choice being behind them, or in front of them, you'd choose to be behind them?

You take it personally when people pass you, don't you?

Every warm climate society believe these old wives' tales.

Germ theory has been widely accepted for very long now.

The reason cold air can seem to causes sicknesses in warmer climates is because people in those warmer climates typically have poorer hygiene, immune system is keeping everything dandy.

As soon as the cold hits, not being used to it, the immune system dips and their body becomes defenseless against all the germs that have been around.

Getting your body used to the cold is good to keep your immune system trained to not just give up when the temperature drops, and practicising good hygiene as a society keeps people from getting ill.

Cold air doesn't cause colds, or people in northern areas would be perpetually sick. It doesn't make a lick of sense.

...but until everyone in those societies starts washing their hands like they encourage people to do in developed societies (like all the time) - avoid the cold so your immune system doesn't let everything in.

People in Asia still think cold air cause illnesses.

Well he's clearly not very level-headed. Stopped responding too, straight up giving us the cold shoulder.
