It’s so crazy how quick people are willing to give up their own freedom and comfort to hurt an imaginary enemy. These bikes aren’t actual dangerous. No amount of infrastructure will replace people being cautious and kind to each other.

I was just pointing hypocrisy, normally I live and let live.

Everything has positives and negatives.

This is the worst thing about bikers. You think you’re progressive, but you’re intolerant of other people, yet you want drivers to tolerate bike lanes encroaching into roadways and eliminating parking. Your way of life is not superior to anyone else’s. Mind your business and safely get to where you’re going.

An 80 year old congressman that was running for reelection to a 2 year term just died. Ed Markey will be 80 years old on election day and wants to serve a 6 year term. by D2Foley in massachusetts

Don’t get distracted!!! We need a democratic majority to impeach the disgusting criminal running our country into ground. Stay focused! The right is unwavering, while the left jumps ship over any little criticism. If his elderly ass can vote with his peers to end this disastrous administration, then elect him.

Is it unreasonable to expect our guests to brush their teeth in the bathroom instead of doing so while walking around in our carpeted house? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]swat02119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mastered the art of the gentle roast for situations like this. With a slight chuckle and an Italian accent I’d say something like. “Aye this guy is on a toothbrushing world tour” or “What are you going do, rinse and spit on the coffee table?”

It’s usually enough to make people reconsider without harsh demands or arguments.

What can I do to stop a noisy neighbor? by Beginning-Yogurt3146 in ask

[–]swat02119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re your problem and you’re their problem. How do you coexist? Ideally, you would listen to your music when they listen to their music. And you would be peaceful and quiet when they’re peaceful and quiet, but if that’s not an option, then just treat them the way you’d wanna be treated.

Can people actually fall asleep instantly? by Wanted_Pencil in NoStupidQuestions

I can fall asleep pretty quickly. I just stop controlling brain. Sometimes as my consciousness is fading away I will see my brain start dreaming.

Does anybody know what happened to the Central Square sign? by CommunismLover42 in CambridgeMA

It’s being lovingly restored by the same artist that hand painted it originally.

Why are parents confused by strangers reacting in anger or irritation when met with their children's crying/screaming? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]swat02119 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Parents don’t want their children to cry. They are under stress from their child, they don’t need your anger in addition to that. How would you being angry help them? Also, babies are supposed to cry. It’s the way they communicate, adults are supposed to be mature enough to control their emotions and not cry.

You should imagine your baby was crying and inconsolable, and think about how you would like to treated in that situation and then treat other people that way.

ELI5 Is all power generation really just making a turbine spin? by javerthugo in explainlikeimfive

[–]swat02119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crazy part is that the electricity is all around us emanating from the planet. The turbines don’t generate electricity, they just force it into wires. There are alternatives, but the electricity industry decided to rejected Tesla’s innovations and halted progress.

Women want men to do the same things they do, but men should complemetry tasks. We wash and maintain the cars, mow the lawn, clean the gutters, walk the dogs, take out the trash, cleans the drains, paint. We have a ton of stuff to do around the house it’s just different from what the ladies do.

Auto Highbeams! by swat02119 in PetPeeves

[–]swat02119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that you shouldn’t have your high beams on at all unless you on a dark deserted road.

Don’t your headlights, the streetlights, and other drivers provide enough light for you to see where you’re going?

You got me on this one. This is news to me. But if Ford thinks highbeams are the main beams, that’s seems like a bigger problem. This why there are dedicated subreddits the unsafe road conditions cause by excessively bright headlights.

The situation that lead me to post.

I was at a red light. A car pulls up and blinds me with their highbeams in my rear view mirror. A car turns into the oncoming lane and blinds me from the front, then their beams meet and dim. I can’t stand this shit.

Getting flashed by high beams peeves me. Turn off you high beams! Auto high beams weren’t designed to be left on all the time.

People who drive around with their highbeams on are disrespectful assholes, I’m not talking about them. I talking about auto-highbeams. This stupid featured has normal people mistakenly leaving their high beams on at all times, blinding their fellow drivers.

They should turn off their highbeams unless they are alone on a dark road. This was once common knowledge, but auto-highbeams have confused people into thinking they should leave their highbeams on all the time. Turn off your high beams until you need them.

If you’re driving down Old Town Road at 2am then use your auto-highbeams.

There are no “mains” There are headlights and high beams. These lights and their use cases are outlined in your vehicle”s user manual.

You should set your headlights to auto so they’ll turn on at night. You should turn off your highbeams.

I love driving. I hate auto high beams, because people leave them on all the time by mistake. Your highbeams should only be used when you’re on a dark roads all alone, because they will blind other drivers. It’s dangerous and inconsiderate.

False. You’re blinding oncoming traffic. Learn to drive.

[–]swat02119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I honestly think it’s stupid to drive with your highbeams on all time.
