Do not drive on ice. Full stop.

Additionally, even if you have the right gear and are from a state that ice is normal in, other people on the roads are not going to drive accordingly. They are your biggest threat.

That's the best part of every movie, if it was good you're all hyped and like "poo poo, that was a great movie" and if it was terrible it means you're done. Suicide Squad was also shorter than an average football game, so even if you hated it, it's still less wasted time than probably a dozen games various people here have watched.

Yeah but suicide squad's ending is like the very last bit of diarrhea coming out when you get stomach flu. Ultimately refreshing and good but you still feel horrible about what you went through. Also you just stared alternately at the inside of the toilet as your stomach strained to fire out an imaginary bit of food that came out the sixth time you vomited, and the wall in front of the toilet as the bottom drops out of your world and the world drops out of your bottom

A great movie ending is the last bite of dessert of a multicourse meal, you loved every bit of it but can't handle much more and fortunately it ended at the best time

Bingo. I thought Jai Courtney was the best in that movie and Margot Robie did a good Harley Quinn. Man, I could write pages about that movie, it had so much potential. Those three did an excellent, and the casting of Viola Davis as Amanda Waller was a great decision (although I would have preferred someone like Patricia Belcher). They had so much potential and didn't do anything with it. I watched the Superman vs. Batman Directors Cut and its such a better movie than the theatrical release, then I watched the Directors cut of Suicide Squad and I couldn't tell what was added in, it did nothing for the film. Like I said, I could write pages about that movie and what might have gone wrong, but there are some gems in terms of the performances by those three.

I've lived in DC and Arlington coming up on 5 years now, and the drivers all across the DC/NoVa/Maryland area are easily the worst, least predictable, least competent drivers I have ever seen in the US. And I've driven pretty much everywhere in this country. Even Boston over these last holidays was a breath of fresh air.

I never pass people exiting the highway around here, because of the high likelihood that they will cut back across the gore zone. I thought my dad would have a heart attack while I drove him around. You don't see poo poo like this in the NW.

If we're going for gradations around here, I haven't noticed a difference in Woodbridge (besides 95 being constantly in traffic) but I find Maryland a little worse because they don't have vehicle inspections so you always add in a bunch of disabled vehicles.

Woo! Now to figure out the best way to meet my friends in DC for the game, Metro is probably under construction and I'm sure not driving.

why do you think that area is the worst?

Yeah, that's kind of a lot of it--different drivers from everywhere mixing. DC has drivers from all over the US bringing their bad habits, *and* a lot of international drivers who have no loving clue what they're doing on US roads. And gently caress diplomat plates, they just don't care. Add in an archaic, bewildering, and poorly maintained infrastructure (looking at you, NoVa) and hideous traffic and you have a recipe for continued disaster. And God help you if it snows.

I'll have to try it again, my last drive there was 2010 before I moved to DC. I've driven all over North Carolina though, and they have some crazy drivers but people are on average much better.

If I wasn't in money saving mode maybe I would have driven to Atlanta for today.

Atlanta is either fine (if complicated) or a waking loving nightmare depending on when you're driving through it. If you're off peak hours you can hold your own but during rush hour or at night you're probably going to end up dead. Especially if you're around Sandy Speings where all the rich assholes have hummers and escalades and drive like it's Vigilante 8.

Yeah, Woodbridge is where the traffic running south always gets bananas. Driving north it isn't too bad, but more often than not I get caught up in congestion there. I really never have too much trouble in DC proper, but maybe that's because I usually drive in off hours or whatever.

Dudes in NJ drive way worse. If you aren't going 150 mph some dude is going to get right on your rear end and ride it.

Oooof. Yeah. Never do that. I actually go to Tyson's on Black Friday (usu. late morning) but I take the Silver Line in. Waaaay less stressful.

You haven't seen unpredictable driving until you've been on the road with stateside drivers, Japanese tourists, Korean tourists, Chinese tourists, Chamorro drivers who have never seen a highway and were taught by the instructor that bribes the DMV, Micronesian drivers who have only driven on the one potholed road that goes around their island at 10 MPH, Filipino drivers who don't know what a lane is because they're used to filling every last cubic inch of open space with a vehicle, and Aussies who haven't driven on the right side of the road, all in one six lane block.

The federal government in India built a highway from Hyderabad to their airport and its basically the only decent, if unlit, road in the region. It's also the first time most Indians will get the chance to go faster than 20 mph or whatever.

Drunk driving is a really bad problem in India. When you take the highway to the airport, you see tons of wrecked lorries and cars, some still smoldering, where it's obvious no one survived. Just people that got drunk and wanted to go fast.

Hyderabad didn't really have rescue vehicles or toe trucks or anything, so the villages along the highway would come out to scavenge the various pieces from crashed and burned out vehicles. Over the weeks things would get more and more bare until it was light enough to load up the frame somehow and take it to do god knows what with it.

Basically welcome to trumps America.
