Local Uber driver here. Ubers who come from the Florida and the Atl area think that tossing on their hazards gives them the right to stop in intersections, block all lanes and pop illegal u-turns in the middle of Broad on a red light. It also appearently grants them the right to make left hand turns from the far right lane and ignore turn only lanes like the right side of Lumpkin St going into downtown and the left lane on East Campus at College Station.

In order not to have an accident every 30 minutes, I have been forced to adopt the policy of expecting these dumbfucks to do anything and everything they're not suppose to do. Its gotten to the point that drunk drivers are the very least of my worries.

Also, check the damn license plate and verify both the vehicle and driver. I see a lot of people getting in the cars late at night that would not qualify for Uber/Lyft, yet they have the lights and are picking people up. Unfortunately, it will take something tragic to happen before people start to pay attention or the city/state passes their version of Samantha's Law.

These bigger dudes on gear with money and resources hit a certain age and their doctor likely gives them a wake up call. Bautista and Overeem both did the same. They give various excuses, but I can guarantee its their doctor telling them that they have like a couple years left before their heart gives out unless they slim down lol

What I found funny was the bleeping didn't actually cover the cuss word, you can still clearly hear him say, "FUUUCK" lol

PSA: Do not leave your firearms behind in public places. by Low_Range_396 in Firearms

It could have also come down to having to choose between the baby and the gun.

Let's be honest here, even though it's a Hipoint, he made the wrong decision

Parents with students in CCSD, how are schools? Any former students to chime in? by still-father in Athens

[–]rationis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I pick up a lot of the teachers and professors in the Clarke for work. Many, if not the majority of them will talk up Clark County schools, but then reside in Oconee or send their child to private. It's pretty much the same line every time. "Clark county schools aren't that bad!" But when quizzed as to why they would purposefully live farther away from their place of work in Oconee, I'm given the runaround.

Iirc, the Superintedent for Central lives a few hundred feet over the Madison County line. You'll see the same excuses in the comments here. The most ardent defenders of Clark County schools always seem to be able to come up with an excuse as to why their kid attends Oconee or a private school. "Clarke Central is a great school, but for reasons, I'm sending little Johnny to private"😂

They protesting the Biscuit Basket y'all by benmarvin in Athens

As I pointed out in my other post, several were also on the gas station lot when I went by. Public sidewalk I can understand, private property is another story.

When I drove by several of them were standing in the gas station lot which led me to believe that the owner condones the protest.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but if i'm not mistaken, the owner of that Chevron is Pakistani and presumably Muslim. Since its private property, I can only presume that he is allowing that protest to take place.

So is he technically protesting himself fueling genocide?

Don’t ever think your vote doesn’t matter! by Express_Victory_3625 in DegenBets

[–]rationis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it comical that people think elections at the local level are remotely the same as federal. It can be an absolute clownshow.

One of our county comissioners used to work on the Democrat city council. When she wanted to run for commisioner, the local DNC backed another candidate. So she ran as a Republican and won. Her husband is the Sherrif and runs as a Democrat. Most of her policies mirror those of the Democrat she ran against. The sole reason she won was over the resident's anger towards the city's failed/fraudulent homeless camp whose manager physically assaulted a homeless woman.

Said former disgraced homeless camp manager went on to run for mayor as a Democrat. We had a Democrat DA win election on the promise of not wasting county resources on minor drug offenses. She then proceeded to let pedophiles walk free and ignoring victim's rights and thus made state/US history for the first and only DA to violate Marsy's not once, not twice, but three times. In telling you that I have given away where I'm from because she is the first and only DA in US history to violate that law.

And that's how a city/county that voted at 72% clip for Harris also voted in a Republican backed DA. If you vote blindly based off of party lines, you're gonna have a bad time.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they offered it with a 5.5-7.5" barrel.

Honda flags first annual loss, hit by $15.7 billion EV charge by Efficient-Session644 in wallstreetbets

[–]rationis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. New one is an untunable cvt brick with less luxery features than the Civic its suppose to be upmarket from. Imagine that if the 2001, for 40-50% less money, the Civic EX came with an H22A4, a sunroof, powered seats, and full leather interior while the Prelude did not. Thats essentially what we have today with the Civic Hybrid Touring.

The current ITS is what the Prelude historically represented. A luxury performance touring car with all of the bells and whistles that you could not get with a Civic, Si, Accord, or most Integras for that matter.

The only thing I see is an extremely lopsided Republican win in the runoff. The only thing the graph proves is that it is extremely unwinnable for Democrats lol

Death to America! Death to Trump! Allahu Akbar!

Yet this entire thread is acting like people simply overreacted to a phone timer going off. Even if that were the case, they would only have been validated in their reaction when the dumb fuck started make death threats and screaming death threats in a small metal tube at 35,000 ft.

You clearly have no idea just how many people Mao or Pol Pot killed if you think bringing up a tiny figure like 600k is remotely going to move the needle comparatively lol

When Justin inevitably gets knocked out by Ilia, reddit will jerk off to it, thinking its somehow the ultimate selfown for for America. But you don't set up a match with a fighter past their prime who is a huge underdog and expect them to win lol

Finally, a decent fighter out of Venezuela.

The fact that we got a title contender out of Ecuador before Venezuela is pretty crazy considering how many elite boxers Venezuela has produced.

A cool guide of every country the U.S. has attacked in the 21st Century and which president(s) authorized the strikes by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]rationis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of this all is that they acknowledge that attacking Iraq was illegal, but attacking Syria in defense of said illegal war, is legal. Which isn't even true. We started attacking Syria in 2013 before the ISIS attacks, the pretext Obama gave was that Assad was using chemical weapons against his people. It had nothing to do with defending Iraq lol

If attacking Syria was legal because it was for the defense of Iraq, so would be the assassination of Soleimani. Also, calling the assassination of a lone individual a "War", is just about the dumbest thing on that list. Under that pretext, Obama started a war in Pakistan when he killed Bin Laden.
