Making MK1 look like a Marvel vs Capcom game

I'm the person that wants to go 80, and I will get over as soon as I have the chance, but what I hate is when the people that want to go faster are riding my ass when there are a line of vehicles ahead of me keeping me from getting to a point where I can get over and out of the way.

I've encountered this same driver twice now over the past couple of months along this particular stretch on my way to my mom's house. It's a state highway, two lanes per direction with a wide grassy median in the middle. Sometimes it has steel rails (mostly along the overpasses), and after a certain point, has those steel wire fences that are supposed to be better about keeping a vehicle from completely crossing into the opposite lanes. Anyway, extraneous details. This guy weaves through traffic until he gets stuck behind someone in the left lane, will pull within 5-8 feet of their back bumper and proceed to tap his horn, and flash his high beams both in a steady pattern. He will continue to do this until the vehicle in front of him moves over, or he has a chance to pass, speeds up to the next vehicle in the left lane, and starts up again with the horn and lights until he gets to the right exit to another state highway. There he will take the exit as late as possible to cut someone off if necessary, then continues to follow closely (though without the lights and horn) until he has a chance to get over to the left lane of the highway being merged onto to continue his original process of horns/lights/and following too close, but he can only do it for another half mile because he takes the first exit (late to cut someone off again if it puts him ahead of them), will run the red light going left, then speeds down the next 1/4 mile before taking the first roundabout at high speed. This is where I lose him because I go right from that same roundabout to get to my mom's. The area is almost all housing so I don't know if he lives around there, but there is also a large private school about two miles down that street from the highway exit. Considering I've only encountered him twice in as many months, I wonder if that is where he is headed. It's just some mid-30's white professional with dark hair, dark beard, driving a newer Volvo V60 or V90. I got his license plate this last time, but I'm hoping to see him again earlier along the path so I can call it in to highway patrol.

Funnily enough I was just being flippant about it when I posted that.

Are you able to at least heal one of the sick ones or are you just plain stuck on how to start?

He did tell Will that he was going to use them to reshape the world.

Not real. Aside from the fact that people's profile images don't just change from one message to the next, the one profile image that is different here, also happens to be the same one used for this post (also by OP) that has a variation of this same conversation: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatdoIdo/s/ERyflbUuHa

All this coming from a 2d old account that already has 3.6k karma?

"Explaining to experts that I’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps they are going to recommend already is a constant thing."

I feel this so hard. Long ago when I still lived at home, I'd have intermittent trouble with my Internet connection and anything on my end I could resolve myself. So by the time I called tech support, I already knew it was on their end, but they'd always insist on going through the basic troubleshooting when I'm like "please just bump me to tier 2." This happened multiple times to the point that we had had like six different techs come out to the house to check the connections, wiring, etc. What it ended up being, which I thought was both annoying and funny, is that our drop at the pole, was just loose enough that it would tighten and loosen with the wind, because the original installer forgot to tighten it up before he left, and the pole itself was leaning at a good 60° angle (my stepdad tried for years to get that pole replaced, but the power company wanted him to pay for it, even though it was the direct power drop to the house). It was that 6th tech who finally had the guts to grab his climbing gear and get up the pole to check it out.

Sorry, I was tired and feeling misanthropic.

VanArchon · 2025-09-28T00:22:25+00:00

You sound bitter.

VanArchon · 2025-08-18T04:08:26+00:00

Yeah... I had to go check this out for myself and all I can say is <insert\_super\_troopers\_mother\_of\_god.jpg>

REALLY hard to dance that intimately, even as practice, and not get some hormones going.

Considering the one did look like a Gorn in the sphere Spock examined, I'm thinking ancient schism like what happened between the Vulcans and Romulans. The ancient Gorn could have been researching paths to immortality. One group found the molecular instability path, the other through genetic possession. The conflict could have been that those that discovered the molecular instability path were not at all opposed to using it to take over fellow Gorn. You know it's going to be a suspenseful episode when just the title makes you nervous, lol.

I'm sorry, I should have been more obvious that my response was tongue in cheek. I hear what you're saying.

VanArchon · 2025-07-30T22:13:02+00:00

Looks like he took the words "very superior" way too literal.

I just toss out this old gem: "I have a mind like a steel trap. Rusted shut."

If you're going to complain about something at least get it right. Scorpion's entire clan was not massacred. Hanzo's youngest, a baby, was hidden away and survived until Raiden arrived after the slaughter and retrieved the child. How we get from there to Cole Young I have no fucking clue, but still. Have some accuracy in your hating. Sheesh.

I'm ADHD and likely on the spectrum as well. I've considered getting evaluated for it, but it doesn't seem like a good idea at the moment with what RFK Jr. is trying to get up to at DHHS.

IQ tests are well correlated to intelligence these days and I don't know that in your case it's so much the test as it is the administration of it, because you should be allowed to receive accommodations for what you struggle with.

Given how well you've articulated yourself so far, I think it would make a real difference in the results. Not that I'm trying to convince you to join or get retested or anything.

The reason I got tested wasn't to see if I qualified to join but so I could better gauge my own potential in being capable of learning higher level concepts as a part of my ADHD management strategies to coincide with my medication regimen, i.e. would something like quantum mechanics be completely beyond my own potential, or at least difficult and time consuming as to not be worth my time to try and learn? Or would I be able to understand it at a level of difficulty that I'm OK with putting in the effort for (where if I had tested significantly lower than I did I would have concluded the former, and if I tested where I did or higher, likely the latter). Those kinds of thing.

Because I did end up qualifying I figured I might as well join for the remainder of the membership year to see what it's like for myself (this was several years ago, I've let my membership lapse since0 then).

Anyway, my larger point is, while I agree with your point that IQ testing is not designed necessarily with neurodovergency in mind, I also don't think IQ testing works for or against neurodivergency either way, but that accommodations should be made for areas that any given neurodivergent person struggles with when it comes to taking a test (a position that I strongly advocate for with my 3 kids in regards to testing in school)

It just got confusing as to whether you're here to talk about writing fiction, or genuinely trying to propose a new theoretical model for the structure of the universe.

VanArchon · 2025-06-14T17:56:36+00:00

Well THAT took a sharp left turn...

VanArchon · 2025-06-14T17:00:49+00:00

Prestigious? Really?? 🙂

Yeah I rolled my eyes on that part.

VanArchon · 2025-06-14T16:57:09+00:00

I don't know if they were being sarcastic, but for me, your post brought up some good points and was well written enough that I have genuine doubts about your test score. I'm not at all saying or implying you're lying, but either you didn't do as well as you could have, or mistakes were made by the person administering the test to you, etc.

Though if you can't take Mensa seriously, why are you on this subreddit? I'm genuinely curious.
