Well the car probably felt trapped and very threatened. You must watch for the telltale signs that it is becoming agitated and give it some space

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

yeah thats pretty good



One of my favorite things I've learned from studying train construction is that "using English" is a stronger correlation with cost than "construction technique."

New York is still outstandingly expensive within English speaking tho lol, probably because the people responsible for keeping costs down on the government side get hired by the private companies they negotiate with when they retire retirement

My local nextdoor has been going apoplectic over the new traffic circles going in around the city. There are two 100+ reply threads filled with angry boomers who cannot possibly fathom driving in a circle.

i was involved in a weeks long nextdoor argument because a bunch of idiot boomers got super mad that the police started doing something actually good for once, that is, ticketing people who were blocking the sidewalk with their gigantic trucks. one dummy was like "my truck is too tall to park in the garage and too long to park in the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, what am i supposed to do? and DO NOT TELL ME to get a smaller vehicle, go back to venezuela you socialists". truly incredible.

anyway it should be legal to slash the tires and otherwise vandalize any car that is blocking a sidewalk.

I loving loathe the giant truck morons. Parking where I'm at is pretty tight because all the streets were designed before cars and most of them are going up ridiculously steep hills, so I get that there might be a little bit of vehicle on the sidewalk, just comes with the territory. However there's this ridiculous douchebag down the street from me who goes by the name of "Robbie" who has a giant lifted red RAM pickup truck that's as long as can be. For some reason it needs to be parked RIGHT BY HIS HOUSE and he refuses to park it anywhere else. The problem with this is that his house is right at the drop of a very, very steep street. It's so steep that you cannot possibly see another vehicle coming up it if you're going down, and vice-versa if you're coming up. The way he parks his car he manages to not only take up the whole sidewalk, but effectively turn the road itself into a one car wide choke point when normally two cars could pass through.

When I asked Robbie why he didn't just park like 30 feet away where there's abundant and ample street parking that wouldn't turn the road into a death trap he got very upset and claimed that it was his legal right to park there, and that I can park in front of my house and no one complains. I tried to explain to him the difference between me parking my tiny beater Honda civic that did not block the road versus his giant brodozer but it was fruitless so I've since accepted that I'll be honking every time I go up and down this road just to avoid a major head on collision because this lead brain can't walk a couple feet.

good place to get recommendations for when we need work done on the house, also a good place to sell or give away poo poo we don't need.

i don't really fear death. in some respects, i may actually welcome it? but good loving god i am terrified of one day being killed in the most stupid way imaginable: by a distracted idiot who's gonna panic and drive away leaving me bleeding out in the gutter alone by an autonomous vehicle whose imaging software thought i was an on-ramp and will have its gps record quietly erased later by some low-level nerd at tesla
