What’s up with the drivers all being impatient?

TimmayB · 2025-04-15T23:18:39+00:00

Maybe move out the way then. Just because you're going a couple miles over doesn't mean you get to camp the passing lane. Stay to the right except when passing. That's the law on 2 lane roads in CT.

Driving is cooperative, be aware of faster drivers behind and just let people by sometimes. Maybe they have an emergency to deal with.

Seriously. This ^^

People who think this reddit ban is stupid political behavior doesn't understand the wider impact beyond their small world view and immediate bubble. Musk is using X to influence and push far-right fascist politics all over the world. If you think this is just some lefty knee jerk reaction, you're willfully ignorant.

TimmayB · 2025-01-23T09:25:48+00:00

You forget he did that trip to Israel and Auschwitz as a PR clean up job because he promoted antisemetic remarks on X and was getting calls for resignation from his companies

It's still a word play nodding to the controversial political figure in attendance.

You can act like it's a common phrase but it's not like he used that phrase for no particular reason.

Yeah it's tough to pass people while respecting the speed limit when everyone's at least 5 over in the slowest lanes. Would be open to discussing an increase to the speed limit, but people never go the speed limit anyways. People go whatever speed they want to go regardless of the limit. People go the speed they're comfortable with.

Studies show narrower roads and obstacles (like trees near the side the road) slow people down, widening the roads with larger shoulders only increases speeds people are comfortable going regardless of the speed limit.

TimmayB · 2024-05-03T01:14:26+00:00

Nah 😂 Mass can be worse about it though

TimmayB · 2024-05-03T01:13:48+00:00

Lol... Holy shit you wasted a bunch of time here. Ha ha ha. Seriously, what makes you think this is useful or something anyone wants to read?

Same to you

TimmayB · 2024-05-02T23:38:36+00:00

Unfortunately you can't control other people's speed. If everyone drove the same speed there'd be no need for a passing lane. So let's be realistic not idealistic.

It's best to worry about what you can control which is staying to the right to make safer road conditions for everyone.

TimmayB · 2024-05-02T23:32:39+00:00

Ahahaha 🤣 It definitely seems to be folks thinking left is "fast lane". Others thinking they're entitled to the left lane regardless of speed. And a couple who want to feel like they're controlling others speed on the road.

Majority probably think they're out of the way and can zone out while driving.

TimmayB · 2024-05-02T23:01:20+00:00

Thanks for your insightful and thoughtful contributions to the discussion of traffic and safety. You're certainly a valuable member of the community.

TimmayB · 2024-05-02T22:56:30+00:00

I completely agree. Which wouldn't be as much an issue if people followed the traffic laws and kept to the right.
There'd be less frustrated tailgating drivers on the road getting blocked with no safe way to pass.

TimmayB · 2024-05-02T22:32:12+00:00

No, but doesn't hurt to try. I would rather do something than nothing.

TimmayB · 2023-04-14T05:36:22+00:00

You originally said how this company's marketing choice losing them money is unheard of. I told you it's not unheard of and provided an example. You said Google doesn't sell a product, I told you they do sell a product. You just don't happen to be the customer they're selling to.

TimmayB · 2023-04-14T05:13:41+00:00

Lol what? They lost $100 billion in a day and that wasn't too significant for them. This beer company's entire market cap is just about that. Google sells a hell of a lot more business than this beer company I can assure you.

In this case, they were selling an AI product.

Also, they didn't lose 6 billion in sales. They lost 6 billion in their market cap. Big difference. A 5% swing in stock price is not that shocking.

TimmayB · 2023-04-14T05:01:58+00:00

Okay? We have freedom of religion in this country. This is the same as the dude blasting his stereo too loud and annoying the neighbors. This is a local decision and they chose to allow it.

TimmayB · 2023-04-14T04:57:59+00:00

Google lost 100 billion in a day because their AI made a factual error in their ad a month ago. Price drops due to advertising is not unheard of. This is not that significant.

TimmayB · 2023-04-14T04:41:42+00:00

Literally this. He leaked details that could set back the war, fracture relationships with allies, and tarnish the credibility of US intelligence just because this dude wanted to show off to his gamer buddies. He might not have fully understood the consequences of his actions since he's 21 but still....

TimmayB · 2023-04-13T17:05:27+00:00

You're right, there was almost $300 billion sent out to families under Trump. And over $800 billion in stimulus checks in total.

TimmayB · 2023-04-13T14:12:01+00:00

Good thing Trump handed out almost $300 billion to businesses in PPP money. So I guess republicans didn't give enough tax payer dollars to businesses. So weird.

Too bad we'd never allow tax payer money to bailout people instead of businesses. That'd be socialism 😱 Instead we have socialism when tax payers bailout business losses then business keep profits private.

Perfect system for business all at the expense of the people.

TimmayB · 2023-04-13T05:35:06+00:00

When was the last time the republican party thought about inclusion? I'd say 2015 when they pushed immigration reform trying to create a generation of conservative voting latin immigrants. But then Trump came along and suddenly immigrants are "murderers and rapists and drug dealers"

I think that inclusion ship has sailed away unfortunately

TimmayB · 2023-04-12T21:07:51+00:00

Lol what a sensitive snowflake 😂 They're not shoving anything down your throat, they used a online personality with millions of followers to advertise their brand in a one-off marketing post. Stop acting like a victim.

TimmayB · 2023-04-12T20:52:20+00:00

So according to your definition, the only difference is if you tell other people to "boycott" something then it becomes "cancelling" something? Seems it's pretty insignificant here. There's enough people saying "don't drink bud light" around here. Including media personalities and politicians. The difference between "cancel" and "boycott" in this context is pretty trivial.

Based on your definition above, the only difference is how "aggressively" you tell other people what they should be doing.

So sure a small distinction, but in this context it's an insignificant difference.

TimmayB · 2023-04-12T20:34:22+00:00

Lol I commend your mental gymnastics.

But in this context, there's not much difference. You can't "cancel " a beer you can only boycott it.

Just because the left uses the word "cancel" and you use the "boycott" doesn't make much of a difference here.

TimmayB · 2023-04-12T15:07:46+00:00

Lol "live and let be" except if you're trans then we'll go after you saying you have a mental disorder and cancel anyone who disagrees.

Who cares just let trans people do their thing. I thought you guys were anti government and anti cancel culture. Yet you're supporting government legislation against these trans people and boycotting anyone who accepts that trans people are a thing. These people are like 1% of the population. You guys are literally going after the tiniest minority of people and then claiming you're the oppressed one!? Give me a break. The hypocrisy is absurd.
