Boo this slow town driver

Or using their child as their proxy of emotional manipulation.

Hmm. Well, I can explain it to you, but I can’t comprehend it for you.

You believe that you are right, and can’t, or won’t consider that you could be applying an overly rigid perspective to a problem that requires a great deal of flexibility. Moreover, you seem fixated on punishing those who “break rules.” That’s simply not a very effective way to affect change across human society.

Best of luck to you.

The “normalization of speeding” is because human beings didn’t evolve to travel at the speeds available to anyone with a driver’s license. In other words, you’re asking for a revision of human nature, which is simply not a practical solution. What would be practical is a system of public transportation that makes individual cars moot, or at least less of an intrinsic necessity, but in the US, there are moneyed interests who will fanatically push back on any alternate options. Car makers, insurance companies, bars and restaurants, and even the “healthcare” industry all profit from people having to own a car and use said car to navigate living in this country. You’d need to provide a broad and low-cost alternative, while dismantling those entrenched interests to make a new paradigm stick.

So, in the meantime, it sounds like your driving habits are stick-in-the-mud and you likely create impediments to the flow of traffic, as others adapt around your unwillingness to modify behaviors to the situation. The fact that you see yourself as some kind of shining example of driving purity and hope that other drivers get into an accident as some weird punitive recourse is really troubling. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your moralistic judgementalism and anger issues.

Nah. Drive by the flow of traffic.

Unobservant people who are “following the rule” in dynamic situations usually create more danger than people adapting to the situation.

Especially when they get all the way in the left lane to drive 65mph while others are passing them on the right.

Narrator: they did in fact enshittify it later.

Transparency? But how will we cram as much bloatware in as possible?

*BONUS ongoing electrical problems AND rust

“Hack the planet”

And they say white people have no culture.

Grand sweeping gesture

Stock buy-backs used to be illegal, which at least forced some reinvestment. Now it’s just shareholder masturbation all the way down.

You’re just making an argument for better regulations and testing. Let’s start with elderly drivers, who are no longer physically and mentally capable of the maneuvering required to operate a vehicle at speed. Anyone over 65 should have to retest on a regular schedule. And when they fail, they lose their car too.

And all of this is an argument for effective and reliable PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

I don’t have a specific house in mind (but I’m thinking about X, or Y, or Z. I really like ______, because _________).

Listen I hate to pile on here, but your responses are lacking proactive elements that create interesting dialogue. And that can come across as very dull indeed.

Don’t sweat it though. Just consider adding more details without being asked. Adding 2-3 extra, unprompted tidbits in the first couple sentences when speaking to someone might be all you need to escape your conversational doldrums.

Yah, that’s correct. I was trying to give the most simplified version, without getting into conservation of energy in a fluid.

Now I’m annoyed with myself for not explaining it further. You did a great job tho.

I find it equally neat how displacement allows a 100,000 ton ship to float.

As I’m sure most know, planes fly because of the angle of their wings and airframe shape (also known as an airfoil). As moving air flows over the wing it creates downward pressure, which, as a result of Newton’s 3rd law (reaction to a force), allows moving air below to create lift. And upsy daisy she goes.

Science.

Give me back my headphone jack. No one asked for fucking mandatory Bluetooth.

ATS allows the least skilled people in a company (HR) to be even less effective.

It does, however, facilitate the easy scraping of applicant data, which can be packaged and sold.
