wishing that there was a game were you played a bollard and your job was to raise in front of cars to stop them from entering a crossing when pedestrians had the right of way, which was always

there was a starcraft 2 flash(?) game like this but the bollard was a supply depot and cars were represented by zerglings and hydralisks

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?

bicycles aren’t pedestrians and it’s really annoying to pedestrians when they cut through stop signs and reds, especially when other types of cars have stopped at these and you’re already walking across.

Bikes should yield to pedestrians, yes

If someone's half way across a crosswalk I will go through behind them

tanks have an engine and only fit 2-4 occupants. this is carpooling at best. so they are automobiles

you have the lake shore paths immediately adjacent too it , why tf would any non-car go on the drive? There are two paths, one for pedestrians and one for cyclists. I don't even think pedestrians or cyclists are allowed on LSD tbh

of all the issues with Chicago, it's a decent city regarding not driving

It's better than most, but post-lockdown the drivers here are loving lunatics. The amount of me-me-me aggressive tailgating, red light blowing, complete abivalence towards anything in the street that isn't another car is off the charts.

Several hours ago I nearly rear-ended a truck because they made a sudden stop and had tinted their taillights , I have literally spent hours trying to understand why someone would do something so stupid, so blatantly and intentionally against their own self-interest, it's like frosting your side mirrors for aesthetics.

Eventually this lead me to Google if tinting taillights was honestly a thing, like, this has to be the dumbest gently caress on earth and...

Bollards need to be in their natural environment, the road, where they can freely hunt their natural prey

Tinting your tail lights seems about as sensible putting a plastic cover over your furniture.

Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry

this has been known for years. there was a study like 10 years ago with the exact same stuff

i sometimes miss my old 2001 shitbox accord with an oem-unpainted broken front bumper and hosed up backbumper. one of the best things about driving a clearly hosed up "poor car" is that rich people do not gently caress with you or try to play stupid bitch games like cutting you off or swinging to a last-resort merge lane to get back over 1 car-space infront, or trying to zoom around in a residential area because you were only going 30 in a 25. it's the great equalizer because they also know it's a losing proposition.

fwiw most other shitbox cars i see also drive like rich ppl purposely making their 25 mpg car get like 8 mpg instead and blowing past peds.
