Fitzy Fitz posted:This is actually the first I'm hearing about this particular way to be killed by a car Had a coworker nearly die from a rogue tire. It passed him by a few feet at around 45mph. Working along roadsides is genuinely terrifying and people have no idea how close they come with their vehicle. No amount of signs telling people slow down will stop them from speeding (even the "my daddy works here" signs don't always work). The cones you lay down on the roadside are also largely to give you an audible cue to leap out of the way of a car. It's what alerted another one of my coworkers to an old lady who had a seizure driving off the road. He managed to jump over a guardrail. In summary, I hate cars.

AnimeIsTrash posted:Why does this thread always turn into PYF favorite car accidents every couple of pages? None of that poo poo is particular interesting or fun to read. GBS Mt Everest megathread deathwatching is a sickness for the mind and soul. or one needs to look at gbs ukraine thread to see serious mental illness and sickness with people literally talking about boners and salivating over death of poor people, it's very gross and gbs should be deleted from the forums and from individual's mentality. that said, cars are very bad and robert moses should be restricted and tried at the hague. and it can be funny when a rich tesla does something stupid or badcar does something stupid. i don't have a good answer, just caution everyone be aware of their own mental thinking before gbs consumes their brains. i believe there's a way to thread the needle safely, but it can quickly devolve to gibbis sickness so step back if you feel it coming on.

I biked to the co-op today, and this intersection that it sits at is as safe as it looks (I would bike into that green lane, then go straight and typically just walk my bike across on the other side). that right turn is just built for high speeds

I don't think people take pleasure in the deaths themselves, it's just a heightened awareness that we've accepted these big machines that can kill you very easily to be everywhere. and once you start noticing something, you have a tendency to continue noticing it - especially when the number of people getting killed by cars is going up

a major avenue started construction to go from 4 lanes to 3 with a center turn lane(express game of chicken lane) i was walking by and asked a construction worker if he thought it'd work 'hell no! dumbest idea i ever heard. remind me to never take lyndale again' sounds like it's working already

Xaris posted:that's right. Every Sherpa who dies on Everest is a tragedy, but every single other person who dies there is making the world a better place. Nepal should just double the fee to climb the mountain, take out life insurance on everyone who registers to do it, give the extra money to the Sherpas, and remove all limits. The more people who freeze to death or die of exhaustion waiting in line for the summit, the better.

The idea of pointing a gun at someone just makes me fuckin sad. In any profession where you have to hold a gun you're taught not to point it at people unless you're really going to shoot them. I don't want to fuckin shoot anybody. Even if they're going to rob me or beat me up or take my car, I don't want to loving kill anybody. I'd rather my car get stolen or my jaw get fractured than someone be loving dead. And that's what you're supposed to use a gun for, to kill people. It's not for waving around or threatening folks. A gun is not a punctuation mark. What the gently caress kind of scenarios are these people imagining??

You don't just kill somebody, even somebody who is actively trying to kill you, and then walk away and live your life. Killing someone messes you up inside whether you like it or not. Why can't some of my fellow Americans acknowledge that??

'lol, lmao' is one of the less weird responses to that, honestly, compared to people who get uncomfortable about pointing it out

Where did I say any of this? You are arguing against a strawman you just made up. What I am saying is that the constant stream of articles about people dying or cars crashing is not interesting or fun to read. There is nothing to glean from these articles especially in the US. We know that cars are bad, we know they kill people.
