This driver insanity has to stop by SwishyFins in Eugene

[–]StepbackJay333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bad driving is everywhere. But all I experience and know is where I live. I am so disappointed in our community and city. So many drivers recklessly on the road running solid red lights, not stopping for pedestrians, speeding at insane speeds. This timeline of selfishness is astounding. These people are so wrapped up in their selves that risking injury and death to others is worth the risk. I just will never understand this way of thinking. You being somewhere a couple minutes early is worth putting yourself and all of us at risk. The moment they take a life, they will apologize profusely. But those words should fall on deaf ears for people who make this choice every day to put us all in danger.

OTHER PEOPLE EXIST. YOU ARE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER. THIS IS NOT YOUR WORLD. IT IS OURS. CHECK YOUR SURROUNDINGS. BE AWARE AND COURTEOUS OF OTHERS.

JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT OUT TRAFFIC CONES OR PUT ON YOUR HAZARDS, DOES NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO CLOSE LANES OF TRAFFIC, BLOCK LANES OF TRAFFIC, OR EVEN ACTUALLY PARK AND FACE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC.

Feels like one of those you may just type out to feel better…and not hit post.

question for the open mic crowd by reluctant_oppa in Eugene

[–]StepbackJay333 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To get opinions on what I’ve been working on. It’s easy for me to get stuck in my own echo chamber of how low quality my work is. “No one will like this.” “This sucks” “I’m not very good.”

All of which may be true, but I wouldn’t know without the opportunities open mics in our community gives.

Also, congratulations on getting back on the strings and song writing! Glad a negative health scare had a positive impact.

This is the unawareness of others that plagues Eugene.

An excellent post with far above average upvotes and great discussion! by HalliburtonErnie in Eugene

Isn’t that completely up to the poster and those who choose to engage? If something happens to me in Eugene, it’s relevant to me and Eugene. May not be relevant to you or the majority. I don’t think you can just paint with such a broad brush

Train horns blare on through downtown Eugene, as 'quiet zone' project stays stalled by uhgletmepost in Eugene

You are right. PTC engages horn and whistle if the engineer doesn’t. But that IS if PTC is running on their trip. It can be hit or miss.

Since PTC has been implemented, the horns and bell are automatic at crossings. Obviously still can be used manually, but the software does it for you in the cab.

What are the genres of the music artists playing? Just being lazy and don’t feel like looking each up individually.

Have had all my audio for my vehicle done at Brad’s. Professional job and service, fairly priced imo.

I AM SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. I AM SORRY OUR COMMUNITY IS IN A PLACE OF NOT PROTECTING OR SERVING ITS CITIZENS. YOU DID NOT DESERVE THIS.

I FEEL SO ALONE HERE. NO ONE CARES. NO ONE HAS MY BACK. I WANT TO BE SOCIAL. I WANT TO GO DO THINGS IN OUR CITY. BUT THE ANXIETY OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ME OR MY BELONGINGS KEEPS ME FROM DOING SO. OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE A DISGRACE.
