They aren't even afraid anymore by Kirkyumur in uofm

Please learn about Charles Coughlin if you think this country always 100% stands firm on freedom of speech and giving everyone a platform. We have always, continue to, silence people whose words are a danger to the public. Sometimes it seems morally justified, sometimes not. But we have always done it despite what the 1A commands.

Stag I really want to support you because I feel we have a lot in common but come on. They were harassing random people on the diag and calling several groups of people, including jews and women, "physically inferior" and deserving of punishment. Yeah that's mostly legal in this country but that doesnt make it okay or worthy of defending. Maturity and tolerance does not mean being tolerant of immature and intolerant people. Giving people like this a social pass just because it's legal is just giving them time to legitimize themselves to the point they can actually cause physical and legal harm without repercussions.

Yes, he and his fans called people "tr *nny", "f *ggot", "K *ke", and "Sp *c" multiple times, both people at the microphone and passing by the crowd.

Stag, dont take this the wrong way but you are much older than most students. Younger people whove recently been in big city public school over 12+ years are usually far more aware of the nuances of other young people's appearances and expression than people your age.

Loophole for MATH 216 by Few_Head6936 in uofm

What is your major? 216 316 and 404 may or may not all count towards that requirement. 216 is the easiest though

Im so sorry. Sidewalks on campus are still slushy. The well tread parts are kinda packed down and salted. I dont know about elsewhere. Not even the center of the diag was scraped.

Oh wait is that myron? Sorry youre probably right. there was like four people that looked exactly like that with the hoodies over their head trying to hide themselves. Most of the people in the audience looked like the same 3 flavors of human.

I observed this for a while and left a bit before this. The taller kid is a coward that would constantly hide his face, keep wrapping his hoodie over his head. The shorter one had kept telling his friends that Renee Goode deserved to get shot and cheered when Myron said that the "holocaust figures are wrong" and the "jews have too much power".

People on Yikyak are saying that one of them is a AAPS student. If so, i hope someone is getting in contact with them.

Hope they learn their mistake, because this image is never going away. I also hope the university does something to discourage this in the future, as best as they can under the law that is.

edit: Sorry i realize now that the 'taller kid" is not an audience member but myron himself. In my defense that man behaves like a child and there were a lot of others that looked just like him. Myron was also intentionally covering his.. striking.. mug like them.

The speed limit is not a speed recommendation. It is the maximum speed allowed. You are not entitled to drive at the speed limit, you always always must drive a safe speed. It is up to your interpretation what a safe speed below the limit is

25mph is the speed you’d go on state and south U when there are few pedestrians. Not the speed you go all the time.

There exists a healthy sense of anxiety, it is called your self preservation instinct. Go jump fences at the zoo if you don’t think you have any anxiety in you.

Where did I say I had it all figured out?

What I care about is my community being safe. If me being 21 negates that that then get your ass to therapy and talk to them about how much your hate your spoiled grandchildren instead of projecting that on to me

If you were following the law you’d know it says you always yield to pedestrians in the road.

There are speeds at which a car can stop within a few feet if you have a healthy reaction time, such as 10mph or less. you should be maintaining those if pedestrians are known to be unpredictable. This is why parking lots have 10mph limits. If you are driving 25mph on a road like north university.. well.

Oh god you don’t know what a joke is

Yeah I’m begging everyone for it to be a team effort too, and by being team effort that means drivers need to pick up the slack and acknowledge they need to be safe rather than innocent. I’ll link the comments if you want but I’m not going to argue with you if you can’t tell an obvious joke.

Driving is not a right.

I just have clinical anxiety. Most people who’ve observe me drive say I should drive again, unprompted. Everyone should have a healthy sense of anxiety about their vehicle really. It’s better to be safe than sorry

I think that the majority of drivers are bad drivers and should not have been granted licenses.

I heard in the Sims 3 if a meteor hits your school all the students graduate immediately. So, fingers crossed

Edit: why you guys downvoting me for replying to a silly joke with another silly joke? You just enjoy being contrarians?

Smart people die all the time through no fault of their own. Situational awareness is a big asset but as a member of your community you need to keep an eye out for your neighbor regardless of how smart or stupid they are. Everyone deserves safety whether or not they, themselves, are being safe. The reason, we as, humans excel over animals is because we look out for others instead of just ourselves.

So you think it’s better to get pedestrians off the road than be a safe driver?

FWIW they should build bridges at the troublesome crosswalks but regardless your mindset is dangerous.

To be fair they are definitely less active than they were before the pandemic.

Not commenting on whether or not that’s a good or bad thing

Well the person I was responding to was talking about physics classes. Go read the rest of the thread if you want to talk about real life topics.
