alobar i love you from your work on the scarane campaign but you are dead rear end one thousand percent wrong here, and exhibiting absolutely psycho levels of toxic-masculinity and co-morbid american car-brain.

if someone is blocking the passing lane, preventing you from going as fast as you want to go, because it is your god given right as a car driving american to never feel impeded, and you have a rage-trigger reaction to the affront to your freedom... you're the bad guy.

being forced to go 55 in a 50 instead of the 65 you want to, for however many minutes you and this guy are going the same way, is not actually someone stealing from you. you were not entitled to go as fast as you want in the first place. you are not entitled to unrestricted vehicular mobility. people who get in your way or make you go 10% slower than you want have not wronged you.

blocking the lane is sub-optimal, brake-checking is bad, passing on the shoulder at speed is loving insane. being unwilling or unable to simply say "darn i could go 10-15mph faster if not for this guy, oh well" is an entitlement and rage/control problem.

Seal clubbing is much more sustainable and less cruel than beef, pork, or chicken production. The anti-sealing hysteria was a racist deflection to make environmentalists go after Indigenous hunters instead of rich polluters and agriculture corporations.

not to ruin the bad driver pile on but straight up if you are driving slower than the people around you are expecting you to be going (45-50kmh) YOU ARE A DANGEROUS DRIVER.

I'm not justifying whipping around like an rear end in a top hat but if someone is uncomfortable driving at the speed or whatever of the other drivers around them; they are unpredictable and more likely to cause an accident than someone trying to get around them.

Driving slowly in the left lane (and then blocking passing cars and brake checking) absolutely is dangerous driving. The morons filming were way too close as well.

remember the TNG episode about climate change where no one will listen to the scientists until one does a terrorism then they’re like “wow your science is correct, but you’re still bad for doing a terrorism”

And then the solution to climate change was just to drive our ships a little slower while we study the problem for another hundred years.

to be fair they did eventually come up with the variable geometry pylons seen on the voyager where it flaps up when u put the pedal to the metal and then flaps back down for parking lot speeds, adjusting your ships warp field on the fly to help reduce how much space pavement ur lovely space truck rips up

this technology was used on like one ship and never spoken of again

if they were following too closely when the truck brake checked the car trying to get between them, what does say about the driver of that car?

They cared about the speed for the rest of the season, then wrote the problem away via a software patch on the warp engines at the start of the next.

They literally ignored the supposed speed limit in later seasons, though I'll admit the warp field geometry software change is something I can't be assed to dig up. Fairly sure it was something like the guide to the Ent-D that was justifying the change back to normal speeds.

The technical manual was published two years before that episode. The speed limit comes up again a few times, with the Federation authorizing higher speeds for some missions, but is ignored after that. And Voyager has the moving nacelles to solve the problem.

The "warp core software update" isn't cannon, this is the first time I'm hearing about it.
