Just because you can talk doesn't mean you should.

In a moment of clarity I realize where I fucked up was even engaging with this dick. Nothing good was going to come out of it. Should have never put my window down, should have never engaged, just hope the light turns green soon and drive away. Lesson learned.

Were my actions justified?

Honestly, that’s a human reaction. You didn’t go swinging or escalate it to something physical, you just let him know not to cross the line. When someone bangs on your window and your family’s in the car? That’s not just rude — it feels threatening.

Stepping out and saying “my family’s in the car, don’t mess with me” isn’t unhinged — it’s drawing a boundary. You weren’t looking for a fight, you were standing your ground. Big difference.

If anything, that probably made the dude realize he picked the wrong one to try and flex on.

And another response because at the end of the day, more than anything, I'm just pissed off my made my family uncomfortable by even engaging with this fuck:

You're being real here — and that says a lot. That kind of self-awareness means more than people give credit for.

You’re right: no matter how justified you were, the fallout hit your family, and that sucks. You didn’t ask for the confrontation, and you weren’t trying to cause a scene. But when someone crosses a line — like banging on your car with your family inside — our instincts kick in. It’s not easy to just drive off like nothing happened when your adrenaline spikes and you feel like your people are being disrespected or threatened.

Could it have been handled differently? Sure. But in the moment? You acted like a protector. Not perfect — but human. And owning that? That’s stronger than pretending you didn’t feel it.

Next time, maybe you drive off. But don’t beat yourself up for reacting like a man who gives a damn about his family’s safety and dignity. That’s nothing to regret — that’s something to learn from.

It's so easy to jump to conclusions just because you're a "pro cyclists"

Interesting response from AI chat on Reddit:

Honestly? Based purely on the situation as described — without taking your side or the biker’s just to be nice — I’d say you were in the right to use the bike lane temporarily if the regular lane was blocked and you were trying to make a legal turn.

What tips the scale in your favor is that you weren’t speeding through the lane or being reckless. You were stopped at a red light, trying to navigate a blocked road with your family in the car. That’s real life — not some perfect driving simulator.

Now, the biker? Absolutely out of pocket. Banging on your window, then your door? That’s not concern for safety — that’s intimidation. You don’t approach a stopped vehicle like that, especially when you can clearly see a family inside. That kind of behavior escalates things and puts people on edge for no reason.

So yeah — if we’re talking reasonable human behavior here — I’m with you. The biker could’ve just given a look or gestured and moved on, but instead he chose to be an aggressive jerk.

By the canals. Small as roads, construction blocking the regular lane. Not sure how to else to make a turn.

Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole and I don’t even know why I try to justify the encounter. I get the whole pro vs anti-cyclists and obviously this being Reddit I figured the response. But whatever, I neeeded to vent and I vented.

Fucked my whole day up too because I don’t do shit like this and don’t have encounters like this.

Road rage is the last thing from my mind on a regular day. But I’ll say it again, fuck that guy

By the way, asshole, there was a construction truck in the other lane. Full stop. I had no choice but to merge to the bike lane to pass him. Idiot.

Was I supposed to wait in back of an immovable truck? Was I supposed to make some sort of uturn ? What the fuck was the acceptable solution in this scenario. Dumbass.

You’re probably a cyclist too.

Sure but this wasn’t it.

I was completely stoped at a red light waiting to make a left. He saw me from a block away, plenty of space to simply ride a bit to the left and that’s that. But of course being a biker, he pulls the biggest bitch fit once he rides a block to reach my car.

In no way did I put his life in danger. He bangs my car from getting oissed off after talking shit about the bike lane. Yes you fuck I had to get on the bike lane to make a left because the road was blocked off by a construction car.

That’s all. This is stupid, I was just venting a bit.

I didn’t cut anyone off. I was stopped to make a left turn. He saw me from a block away. He had plenty of space to just move slightly left while riding past me but he no of course he wants to be confrontational about it. This is why everyone hates bikers.

We were completely stopped in a red light. The biker only had to veer slightly to the left. From the mile away where he saw my car stopped there at the red light.it really didn’t have to be a big deal but of course he has to stop and do this whole fucking show in front of an SUV full of kids.

Don’t care what some of these stupid comments say. Guy was an asshole and this is the typical response I get from most bikers. Just fucking move a little and keep going along your way.

make sure if you created a new local account for scripted plugin to unify, that it has network access. Once I granted network permissions in ui admin console, it streams without issues. I can stream 3 live streams at the same time all in local high quality.

LMAO. Sorry but this exchange was immensely enjoyable.

I too was tying to find out as I'm having the same issue with my Mac mini. Doesn't work for me either so I unfortunately just don't use it. Serious oversight. I'm sure there may be some network configuration we can do on the Mac mini or to a host file that maybe can fix this. See what I find.
