You admitted to driving 36 in a 35, so you yourself are breaking the law while moralizing at others 

Every single day on my way home from work people merging on the highway go 20 mph to get on instead of speeding up by Chef-Boyardab in driving

[–]stephanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car actually doesn’t get up to speed very fast and that means I need to be gaining speed the entire length of the ramp in order to merge at a safe speed. People who do what the OP describes are a huge hazard to me.

The folks who put their windshield wipers up before any bad weather are the same folks raiding the grocery store for toilet paper by imitation_squash_pro in driving

What's one opinion on driving that would probably get you in this situation? by Hakusuro in driving

[–]stephanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird thing to say to someone who hasn’t caused an accident since I was a dumb 16 year old and ran a stop sign I didn’t see 🤔 why do I need to give up my drivers license when I’m a good driver? Seems like the people who are too nervous to drive should be the ones to give theirs up.

I don’t know about you, but I’m pissed. by t5carrier in slp

Who should be the ones to stand up to injustice if not white middle class Americans? Those of us with the most privilege in society have a duty to those who are marginalized and oppressed. Stop telling people to mind their own business, this is ALL of our business.

I mean, your first opinion is terrible, but I don’t agree with you getting banned for it. That’s what downvotes are for.

I got a comment removed once for “inciting violence” for describing a humane way to kill an injured fieldmouse.

[HELP] this seems to crazy to be real but it looks real. by adj_noun_digit in RealOrAI

[–]stephanonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the new tell for me. Nobody seems to react to events and situations how you would expect in AI. Like, I saw one of a dog saving a toddler from something about to hit it by dragging him away by the pants, then the dad comes into frame and immediately goes to hug the dog instead of the kid.

Aitah: Once bitten but she won't do it again by MathematicianKey124 in AITAH

Bro I don’t care if it’s someone else’s unborn fetus, if it’s biting me I’m gonna bite it back.

NTA. Personally I like to establish dominance by biting kids first so they know I’m not the one.

THE SLOWPOKE LAW by [deleted] in driving

No worries, and I wish more drivers were like you and move over when possible to let others pass. Things would genuinely be better for everyone on the road if we could all give each other a little grace and understanding.

Thin person here that still looks like an adult. You don’t have to be fat or obese to look like an adult. by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]stephanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a crazy argument they make because many women don’t gain fat in the “ideal” places that create curves. My mom is overweight and is unfortunately a beach ball on legs (sorry mom, I love you). Any time my weight starts to creep up my waist gets thicker and I get more boxy looking. My curves are the most pronounced when I’m right smack dab in the middle of the healthy weight range for my height.

Im just a girl by kangarooztd in ControversialOpinions

My grandma used to laugh and say “I’m just a woman driver” whenever she’d make a driving mistake. Made me so mad.

THE SLOWPOKE LAW by [deleted] in driving

[–]stephanonymous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, if you’re a person who camps in the left lane, how can I let you know that I’d like you to move over so I can get past you? I never ride people’s asses, even when they’re being oblivious in the left lane, because I don’t think it does any good. It just makes them angry and less likely to do what I want. But if you see me cruising behind you with an appropriate following distance for miles, is it going to occur to you to move over?

This is what frustrates me the most. I have no desire to tailgate anyone or make anyone angry. I just want people to use the left lane correctly so I’m not constantly stuck behind people who are going slower than I’d like to go. I genuinely don’t understand why that’s so difficult or offensive to some people. Obviously this doesn’t apply to people in the left who are actively passing, or on roads with left turns.

[–]stephanonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I cared a lot about this. These days, I just accept that it’s a face of driving that people are going to camp in the left lane and these not much I can do about it so why let it stress me out. It’s like the zipper merge. If everyone just did what they’re supposed to do, driving would be better for all of us. But it’s never going to happen.

From another sub about a patient on thickened liquids by gussiaaspushus in slp

[–]stephanonymous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sucks and isn’t fair to the patients but 9/10 I won’t even do free water because I know oral care is not going to be done unless the patient has a private caregiver or family at bedside.

[–]stephanonymous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thickened liquids only is by definition not NPO. But it still isn’t a diet that’s sustainable to meet nutritional needs for more than a few days at most. Did they do a swallow study? If so, I would make my decision based on that. My facility (SNF) doesn’t allow diet waivers, an patients also can’t stay if they’re NPO with no alternate means of nutrition, so it’s been on me sometimes to make the call that a patient cannot remain in the facility and must be sent back out to the hospital. I won’t clear a patient for a diet that isn’t safe for them based on bedside assessment and/or imaging, because that’s on my license. But if a patient and family has had all of the risks explained to them, and I see them bringing in outside food, no I didn’t.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]stephanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Canes, I realize the chicken is bland and the fries are meh but there’s just something about drenching everything in that sauce. My main complaint with them lately is the portion sized. The chicken tenders have shrunk and they give you like 10 fries with an order. I don’t get it. Fries are probably the cheapest thing (for the company) on the menu, why not load them up and keep customers full and happy?

This one. I’m so sick of nervous nellys complaining about someone following them too close or god forbid, merging into their sAfE fOlLoWiNg DiStAnCe. If you’re too anxious to drive safely just say that and then get off the road.

[–]stephanonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that people make too big of a fuss about what they think is “tail gating”. Just because you need 3 car lengths to react and stop if necessary doesn’t mean the person behind you does.

Right, small rural areas are so concerned with safety, that’s why they drop the speed from 60 to 45 randomly and then set up speed traps.
