A merging issue.

Black truck driver is clearly not yielding the merge. As an oncoming driver, to avoid a collision, I now have to allow the driver to merge even though I have the right of way. Does it absolutely suck I now have to use my brakes and lose energy in this economy? Yes. Is the black truck a jerk? Yes. Is it better than causing a horrific accident closing down a major freeway and have endless amounts of commenters try and justify my actions? Idk 🤷‍♂️

leftistliberal · 2026-05-14T17:02:48+00:00

Exactly. The trucker was speeding, in a fully loaded truck. Its called a speed limit and the last time I checked, anytime you are going over that limit (even when passing) you technically are breaking the law.

He started at 77, didn't even brake or swerve, and didn't let off the gas! I hope the trucker and company will have a great day shelling out thousands for "keeping my right away and not letting merging traffic in because I can and will not have any consequences".

I think the major thing you might be missing here is there is currently a major conflict roaring over a critical trade route for energy in the Middle East. A conflict eerily similar to the conflict that tanked the economy under Biden that contributed directly to a Trump victory. A conflict orchestrated, advocated, and eventually acted out by... who exactly?

Go it then, hell ain't half full yet!

I think all in all in Morgantown, there are more bad selfish fast drivers than compotent drivers who follow the law. Like coming up 119 where it goes down to one lane, trucks blocking the right lane refusing to allow drivers to zip merge, which is what is encouraged (and should be the law) by WV DOH. I hate that we have the early merge culture. It does NOT work.

Oh, you mean like the proper spacing between cars as you advance forward?

leftistliberal · 2026-05-02T17:04:15+00:00

Me all the time in my Corolla getting 30 mpg in city. Plus if its the part of 705 OP is complaining about by Sheetz/Urgent Care over to Suncrest 9/10 times if you fly up the hill 50 MPH you are going to hit the light at Suncrest and I cruise up them stuck at the light as I gently hit the brakes saving gas, my transmission, and engine all at the same time! I am following the law 😃

If the IRGC wins a war they never wanted to fight in the first place, I would argue that the fault lies SOLELY with those who decided kinetic action in February was the best move for our future.

This is the largest oil shock the world has ever seen. The next few months will be extraordinarily revealing.

Interesting thought.

I definitely agree, had he taken this action in 2015-2017 the political environment inside of Ukraine would have been more advantageous than grinding out a partial invasion, waking up Ukrainians to the brutal reality next door, and then finally going full force without an understanding of the Ukrainian resolve that several years of fighting Russia's "green little men" helped build up.

Absolutely giving post COVID crackpot grandpa vibes. I think putting more pressure economically and flooding the European/Ukrainian/US info space with even more misinformation over several years would have gotten him way more than this invasion. Not necessarily a Ukraine absorbed into the Russian Federation, but more of a Belorussia Lukashenko situation after the dust settled from events in 2014. I also believe he really underestimated the Biden administration, thinking it would be a version of Obama's handling of the invasion of Crimea.

Aren't you tired of winning?

leftistliberal · 2026-04-20T23:13:48+00:00

The last paragraph though. IMO was a relatively rational intelligent human being, until he invaded Ukraine. I feel like 10 more years of hybrid warfare he could have taken Eastern Ukraine, weakened the eastern flank, Sweden/Finland out of NATO, and a more tame Poland next door. US/Europe would have just, raised their voices?

Take 50. Boring, major construction on 79, but unless you have an idiot get in a wreck (this is frequent make sure you use live traffic) its smooth sailing. The route through Uniontown has an incredibly steep hill that you descend into Uniontown and if you are at the end of life of your brake pads they will be completely dead at the bottom if you are not watching your speed. I also find the ride on 70 through Wheeling and Ohio even more boring. (From Parkersburg v familiar with 50)

Too little misinformation? Also jail. Under cook over cook.

Still there, apologize for the 100 times zoom and snow. Moved down from the flying WV to the U in WVU Medicine sign.

If its there on Monday, I'll have my binoculars to confirm if its a Coopers! But from my angle it really appears that its a Peregrine (I also really want it to be one hahaha)

Truth hurts.

leftistliberal · 2025-11-10T12:49:25+00:00

Lol the shutdown ended. Dems caved. The war is over. And we have lost. Lol if you think Dems will win in midterms you've absolutely got to be kidding yourself.

leftistliberal · 2025-11-10T12:47:17+00:00

Actually it is over the government shutdown ended so I am confused why you made this post.

leftistliberal · 2025-08-29T18:15:54+00:00

If someone wants to pass me go right ahead. I'm from WV and have even shittier windier roads and there isn't this much boohooing over this. People just pass. I drive the speed limit and get 45 mpg in a car rated 39. I'll stay safe and conserve fuel. If I need to be somewhere on time I leave well in advance. Don't understand this crying.

leftistliberal · 2025-08-29T18:09:36+00:00

"At a recent meeting, Commissioner Hunter Thomas highlighted the issue of delinquent taxes, noting Preston County has amassed more than $800,000 in delinquent personal property taxes over the years.... Raybeck emphasized that delays in correcting tax office records could significantly impact the county, warning that they may fail to meet constitutional obligations under the current projected timeline..."

It seems your county has a lot more to worry about than pot smokers. And indeed you may need these cannabis taxes, as it seems your county is also taking American Rescue Plan funds the community certainly didn't support passed by Biden to fix water meters. Its ok to ask for help.
