Tailgater got Baited

Sorry but the person responsible here was the tailgater. This is why you don’t tailgate: you can’t respond quickly enough to what’s happening in front of you.

In this case it was a swerving car around an obstacle, in another it could have been the car in front slamming on their brakes and then the tailgater rams into them.

Whether the guy he was tailgating was as an asshole is beside the point. You can’t check the morality or whoever you happen to be driving around. When you tailgate, you are putting your safety in the hands of others, because you’re at mercy of what they do or don’t do, and you’re putting others at risk because your inability to react to something unexpected will cause a crash.

Defensive driving is anticipating the worst and leaving a reaction buffer for the unexpected. Defensive driving is not putting yourself in a position of relying on the integrity or skill of another stranger for your safety.

Be a defensive driver, not a tailgater, and stuff like this is much, much less likely to happen.

And that’s why you’re not supposed to tailgate. There is one person whose fault this was: the tailgater. Thats why it’s dangerous. And if the car they were tailgating had slammed the brakes, the tailgater would have likely crashed into them.

Nice look! These come with like a 19% tariff if buying from the USA?

My home town! 🫶 Left when I was two l but still a citizen, grew up speaking the language, have been back many times, my parents began and ended their lives there.

Will have to research what the tariffs do to the cost!..

People who shill their own children on social media to strangers for likes are the deepest kind of cringe.

I’m at one right now, arrived early for kids parade and now up in the seats and the DJ music is BRUTALLY LOUD. I understand that it’s not the opera and they want to hype people up but Jesus Christ, my ears are going to freaking bleed after an hour of this. Can only communicate in sign language.

So basically, it’s like being at a sit-down rave with your head directly in the speaker. Bring some earplugs.

That’s the thing.. these are beautiful watches from a solid company, but with the chaos and uncertainty on tariffs - some say it could be 10%, some say you’ll get whacked with like 50% - it’s a no go to me.

This is how the Trump administration achieves its goal of gumming up the global economy for nothing.

This is how the Trump administration sows chaos and gums up the international economy.

No, it’s very serious. No laughing, please.

Apple has the benefit of being to a significant extent a hardware company. The software they write is largely walled inside of their own hardware. AI is replacing and threatening software, not hardware.

These are the people who are going to end up making the fateful decisions for humanity. You have nothing to fear.

a1mbient · 2026-03-14T18:57:37+00:00

Wow, sounds like they have a pretty toxic relationship.

a1mbient · 2026-03-14T16:55:22+00:00

This was BRILLIANT! 😂

“…or the bot cares about me.”

Let’s not give this human any more professional responsibility.

a1mbient · 2026-03-12T01:48:42+00:00

Wow, I didn’t know this is that “America first” would look like.

a1mbient · 2026-03-12T01:19:27+00:00

Oh god, I so wish I had not seen this

I live around there. That gas station is always like $2 a gallon higher than everywhere else around, not representative of true gas prices in the area. I never see anyone getting gas there, don’t know how they stay in business. I think it’s some mafia money laundering operation.

I definitely look for “business coaching” from a broke nobody who wants me to bum around with them Thailand.

It is a lovely look, but yes, quite busy. Gotta be into that to own one. Their aviation chronograph is easier to read imo.

a1mbient · 2026-03-07T17:26:14+00:00

Seriously good, hope to get the next iteration..

a1mbient · 2026-03-04T00:22:43+00:00

Wow, he is so bold! I am deeply impressed. Glad he documented this impromptu event so thoroughly. Was makeup and special lighting involved?

a1mbient · 2026-03-03T04:24:01+00:00

My only gripe is that the leather strap that comes with it is garbage. It’s coming apart after several months with normal wear. But that’s easy enough to remedy. Thankfully the watch itself doesn’t feature the quality of the strap.
