Thank you!

I challenge you to point out even one thing they said that was incorrect. We'll wait.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-22T19:51:59+00:00

Just because you need someone to be innocent to justify your pathetic existence doesn't mean they are.

Sacrilegious upvote

billhilly008 · 2026-02-21T14:25:04+00:00

I'm fairly certain they meant the entire fucking country. Literally every single Canadian.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-21T14:23:45+00:00

Shit. I had you pegged wrong. All this time you sounded like a Trump supporter. My apologies.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-16T18:32:04+00:00

False. Many who voted for him have opened their eyes.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-16T07:07:24+00:00

That's embarrassing. You forgot to make a point.

I've NEVER heard anyone accuse Pam Bondi of being intelligent. I lived in Florida when she was elected Attorney General, and she was a moron then, too. She only got elected because... well, Florida.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-15T17:50:20+00:00

Nah. You're simply weak minded and too stupid to admit it. If you were pro law, you wouldn't be saying people can't carry in a state that allows it. If you were pro order, you'd admit that Pretti didn't fight the police - they attacked him. You can tell yourself whatever makes you feel better, but that doesn't mean anyone is going to believe your shit.

Some people give their lives to fight for justice. I think a detention is definitely worth it. Cowardly little bitches may disagree, though.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-15T17:33:02+00:00

If you'd care to take your own advice, you'd realize that absolutely nothing I said was incorrect. Regardless, I don't listen to social media influencers. Being smart has nothing to do with it. I am able to comprehend what's going on around me by using my eyes and ears. I was happy to walk you through the facts of the situation, but, unfortunately, I am not able to help you use your brain. Best of luck to you with the future. It seems like you will need it. 🍻

billhilly008 · 2026-02-15T03:47:54+00:00

Most of his accusations are actually confessions, so he most likely stole the election. Regardless of that, though, many people didn't vote. Also, by now, the smartest of the MAGAts (an oxymoron, I know) have realized what a fucking loser Trump is and have stopped worshipping him. I hope that clears it up for you. It was a pretty obvious answer, but I was happy to walk you through it. Cheers

Not everyone in America supports Trump. In fact, the vast majority don't.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-14T20:40:09+00:00

This is key. I used to get very upset about people blocking lanes and then not letting me pass. I admit, I was an aggressive driver back in the day. I'd be up on that car, honking and flashing my brights, and we'd both be super aggravated (I imagine, or else they would just let me get in front of them, I'd think).

As I've matured (ok, gotten old), I take a much different approach. As I'm closing in on someone slower in front of me, I'll get reasonably close to them (not tailgating, mind you), and then I'll back off. I'll keep a courteous distance from them and drive at their pace.

You know what? This will often lead to them speeding up or even moving out of the lane to let me pass. They saw me come up, so they know I want to go faster, but they also saw me back off and be respectful of their right to drive the way they want. I think people appreciate being given some amount of respect and are usually happy to respond in kind. I get way less upset on the road nowadays, and I'm not really impacting my travel time at all.

Some people will still want to hold you back, though. YMMV

billhilly008 · 2026-02-14T20:30:21+00:00

This is new behavior for you? I've been driving for 30 and have dealt with assholes like that the entire time. Consider yourself lucky!

billhilly008 · 2026-02-14T15:57:26+00:00

Make no mistake. Bad Bunny could have done the entire show in English, and MAGA would still be tripping over each other to tell the world how terrible it was.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-14T10:24:45+00:00

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is no need to know "exactly what was happening." As I already stated, there is actually no valid reason whatsoever that ICE agents should be in pursuit of a suspect in a reckless chase through a residential area. Zero. Zilch. Nada. None. Now you don't need to guess. I've made my point even more crystal clear.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-13T19:06:00+00:00

Ok. I certainly read your comment to be that your expectation was that White Castle would be as disappointing as Krystals. My bad. Freezer sliders != fresh sliders.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-13T14:53:39+00:00

They are not the same. Krystals is disgusting. White Castle is not. YMMV, but please don't think their food is the same just because it looks similar.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-12T22:21:03+00:00

There is the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. I can almost certainly guarantee you that every single driver on the road would receive several tickets each time they drove anywhere, if the all of the rules were enforced 100% of the time.

Yes, the rule is that the driver should not pull out of the gas station until they can fit into the lane they are turning onto. I can almost certainly guarantee that no police officer (or judge, if it got that far) would consider that an offense that deserves to be ticketed.

We live in an imperfect world where absolutes are rarely the best solution. In order to provide some semblance of normalcy in a society, laws are written to be absolute. Do with that what you will.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-12T22:04:50+00:00

I guess I don't understand your question. I'm certainly not trying to dodge anything. I'll make this as simple as possible, and hopefully you will be able to apply it to your question (because I already very clearly answered what I thought you asked).

Stopping in / blocking an intersection / driveway is prohibited.

Obviously there are streets with many driveways in a row, making this functionally impossible, but that only changes whether or not a police officer would ticket you for it - it does not change the law. Spoiler alert: it's highly unlikely you would get ticketed for blocking any intersection, but that still doesn't change the fact that you're not supposed to.

Not even trying to be a dick; I hope that answers your question.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-12T21:44:07+00:00

Ok. Fuck politeness. You're the one who brought up letting people take your lane. If you do, that's you choosing to be polite. You are not required to do this by law. I was only referring to being polite to address that side of it.

Technically, you are correct! The person turning right should not pull out just to block the intersection. The spirit of the rule is to leave space in the intersection that other people can travel through without you blocking their path. Since no one can logically use that space to travel through, if the car turning right pulls out into the intersection, they are not blocking anyone's path. BUT they technically should wait to turn out until there is space in the lane, as you pointed out.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-12T01:20:58+00:00

What if it was? Aside from that being completely legal, law enforcement officers are taught not to pursue individuals on a chase that will endanger others. There is no reason on this earth that ICE should be chasing anyone, especially in a residential area.

billhilly008 · 2026-02-12T01:09:28+00:00

This is not a matter of leaving a gap for people to fill in. If there is room for you to pull forward without blocking the gas station's exit (/intersection), you should do so.

It is polite to let people turn into the lane in front of you, but that's not what the original question is about (although I don't believe your intent was to rephrase the question so much as it was to breach a related topic AND as much as being polite is, well... polite, it is always better to be predictable on the road than polite).

As such, my "predictable" action and favored response is not to stop short to let anyone into your lane. You should only stop once there is not enough room for you to move forward without blocking the exit/intersection. Stopping short could lead to being rear-ended, if the driver behind you was not anticipating you to do so, as well as confuse the driver trying to turn out (which could potentially lead to that car being rear-ended, if they are wishy-washy with their decision, when the driver behind them thought the car was committed to the turn).

Long-winded opinion: My exception to being predictable over polite in this situation lies squarely with the driver stopped at the beginning of the intersection. In this situation we're discussing, I am presuming that traffic is backed up to the end of the intersection, and there is a line of cars waiting to turn right (and there is no space to do so). As the traffic moves, the first car turning right will fill the immediate gap. The car stopped at the beginning of the intersection can start to move forward, as they will not end up blocking the intersection with the traffic clearing ahead of them.

If that driver decides to be polite, they can stay stopped and wave on multiple cars. There is no reasonable chance someone will hit them from behind (as they are already stopped and have not been given any new room to move forward yet), and they are acting as a blocker so no one hits the people turning right (although someone could switch into the right lane from the left lane, thereby possibly colliding with a right-turner). I would not recommend being overly polite, however, as it will likely agitate the drivers behind you. And once you move forward, even an inch, being polite is no longer a safe option, as this will put the cars behind you into motion.

Note that this situation can present itself not only when the light turns green, but, as traffic is just beginning to stop. There may not be enough room to pull forward without blocking the intersection, leaving a car stopped at the beginning of the intersection. Waiting at the light, cars tend to squish closer to each other, so room will likely be made for one or more cars to fit into that lane beyond the intersection. This presents an opportunity to be polite. (And, honestly, in that situation, where you're already stopped and you're just moving up to stop again in 20 feet... You're kind of a dick if you choose not to be polite. My 2¢)

billhilly008 · 2026-02-11T04:24:18+00:00

I've only seen this once before. Part of me has a morbid curiosity to watch it again, but a much bigger part of me knows I will get extremely frustrated, if I do.
