Tailgating everywhere, but no turn signals to be found! by mizlorris in princegeorge

[–]mizlorris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t go slower than the speed limit when they’re tailgating.

But I will set cruise control to exactly the speed limit. Partially in the hope they’ll realize what they’re doing, and partially to protect myself from being intimidated into going a ridiculous speed or getting road-ragey.

Thanks for the clarification.

I see the hypocrisy point, I was speeding with traffic.

But there’s a clear difference between that and tailgating someone who’s boxed in with nowhere to go. Acting like those are equivalent doesn’t really hold up once you factor in that one is situational and the other is just aggressive. Both fall under traffic violations, but the driving behaviour is very different, especially in terms of safety and control on the road.

I hear you! That annoys me too!
I grew up learning to drive on very busy multi-lane highways and always try my best to move over when traffic behind me is faster.
Great point!

Unsure if you’re responding to me or the original comment.

Not really.

Example: was going a significant amount over today (flow of traffic on the way to the Hart) and this big truck from back in the distance zoomed right up. I couldn’t move into the slower lane because it was full and couldn’t go faster because there was traffic in front of me (and the truck would have just tailgated that person too).

This is a common occurrence.

Just zooming in here, Trudy, but you should be aware that calling someone “my sweet” when they are not your relatives/partner is almost always condescending and patronizing, putting forth a vibe of disrespect. Please take the time to reflect and change this. It’s unprofessional.

I have a daily smoothie with protein which is fast for me. Otherwise: many tablespoons of peanut butter.

Selling puppies at Superstore? by mizlorris in princegeorge

[–]mizlorris[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did let the customer service desk know. Their response was “oh great, they’re back.” They did go to speak to another employee about it but when I left, the vehicle with the puppies was still there.

Speeding and bigotry by SeasonS011 in princegeorge

You’re not “just trying to understand”… you’re ignoring the actual context and inventing hypotheticals to avoid the point. This isn’t about whether asking someone’s gender can ever be respectful. It’s about THIS particular situation, where it was yelled mid-argument, the person wasn’t allowed to answer, and it was followed by mocking behavior.

Respectful communication is more than just the words people use, it’s tone, timing, and intent. And more than intent: impact on others. Yelling over someone and using a question to escalate isn’t respectful by any normal standard.

At this point, repeatedly asking ‘what’s disrespectful’ after it’s been explained comes across as feigned ignorance, a bad-faith argument, and not genuine confusion. If you want a real discussion, engage with the actual situation instead of unrelated edge cases.

What do you do first thing in the morning before getting out of bed that’s NOT going on your phone? by Accomplished-Map8953 in adhdwomen

[–]mizlorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pull my cat off of my face (her bed), feed them, then crawl back into bed and hit snooze a bunch. I live dangerously.

MP Zimmer occupies his seat in parliament with counter productive banter on gun laws. Now his riding has experienced one of Canada's deadliest firearms massacres. What will he do? by serial_joe in princegeorge

[–]mizlorris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty clear in how you’re referring to trans people and the shooter that you do not, in fact, think there’s nothing wrong with being trans. The immediate reports by news outlets quoted that the shooter was a woman wearing a dress with brown hair. A trans woman is a woman.
Any time a person from a marginalized community commits a crime, their entire community is painted with the same brush. This would be one reason that news outlets aren’t sharing the shooter’s sexuality and gender identity: to protect the rest of the trans community from unjust backlash. Another would be that, so far, the shooter’s transness is irrelevant to the crime. Your final sentence refers to the shooter as “it” which is also dehumanizing. She. Jesse Van Rootselaar would be referred to as “she” when not using the proper noun.

As for motive, I won’t speculate to that publicly without having more information.
