It's insane how easy it is to trigger the "my car is my entire personality" people. My comment said that the truck in the video was "unnecessarily large".
I suspect the venn diagram of these people and the "everyone gets insulted so easily nowadays" is a circle.
I'd like to flag this for all the morons telling me that bicycles need to have the same level of traffic enforcement as cars (they actually do. it's none) but also in a world of scarce resources spending any time on bicycle enforcement is asinine.
I'm sure these drivers were escaping a tornado or terrorism or an abduction or something that necessitated this behavior.
I just love this idea that inner cities are full of criminals itching to do crime in the suburbs and the only thing stopping them is lack of public transit.
This was a huge reason behind opposition to a train to KOP when I lived in Philly and it was moronic then too.
I wonder what this looks like if you layer on some actual objective financial analysis. My theory is that one "public opinion" line much more closely matches reality.
This reminds me of the time a teacher told me that "brobdingnagian" was not a word and then gave me a detention when I showed her the word in the dictionary she kept in her classroom.

I had to really hold my tongue when the old folks where I live starting bitching about having to pay to hookup to town sewer. Years of lectures about my generation being lazy, needing handouts from the gov't, etc were forgotten very quickly.

Car culture is so strong in the US that people post videos of themselves breaking the law in a 3500-pound vehicle and other drivers will empathize with their misfortune of being held accountable.
That's me driving the white Crown Vic on Blagden Ave at Allison St NW. DC has fined me $200. Should I pay or contest it?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the DC DMV, this vehicle (Maryland license plate PG0484) was fined $100 by a stop sign camera at Blagden & Allison on 9/29/2023—not $200.

I hope everyone survived the fireworks last night. The video I posted last night was an aerial shot over residential neighborhoods in Pierce County.
My opinion is fireworks, especially mortar shells, have no business in crammed neighborhoods.
What’s your opinion?

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.
ALT Wildland firefighter Michael Scott expresses disbelief that someone would be reckless with their fireworks. "When I specifically asked you not to?" he says, reflecting on how he asked SO NICELY, too.

If I understand correctly, a Christian woman invented a hypothetical scenario in which she felt threatened by imaginary gay people, and the Supreme Court not only agreed to hear the case but ruled that her bigotry is acceptable
