  • Most drivers already don’t use or know 60% of the capabilities of their vehicles, adding more is just adding distractions to already crappy drivers.

    Lane assists, cruise control, radar assists, parking assists, hazard lights, turn signals, oil pressure sensors, tire pressure sensors, fluid level sensors, driving modes, alternator charge readers, low gear throttle assists, hill assists, ‘fog’ lights, daylight driving lights, mirror defrosters, smooth braking modes…

    I have been in so many cars and watched people just… Not use these tools and then complain about something related to it.

    Can’t fix stoopid


  • This was my exact thought.

    People who drive like they walk are either too stupid or ignorant to understand that there are over 3 LITERAL TONS of force being used to “just-squeeze-by, pardon-sorry.”

    To quote questionably-ethically-dubious Louis CK, "BuT ThAt’S nOt My FaVoRiTe WaY!!!

    If you missed your turn, that sucks, now you spend an extra 2 - 4 minutes going the long way around.

    Be better, drive better, pay more attention. If you got unlucky and the road or signage sucks, oh well.


  • The question isn’t sexist, it’s emotionally driven, and dismissing it outright is narrow minded. That is what I think is dangerous.

    The truth is the question reveals that to most women asked the question, men are unpredictable, and women have to navigate the world that way.

    A bear is a bear, it’s always going to do what it does, and you can work around that. Leave it alone and it will leave you alone, even if you have to work hard to avoid it. If you disturb it, it will kill you. It’s predictable.

    Men on the other hand are very likely to respect women, maybe even work together. However, there is the small, small, SMALL chance that they will be a terrible person. They could attack, abuse, sexually assault, straight up rape, or even kill the woman; or they could do a disgusting combination of those.

    The true root of the question isn’t “do you think a random man is more dangerous than a wild animal?” Of course not.

    The real question being put on a social scale is “what’s more predictably dangerous, a random man, or a wild animal?” And the fact that women almost unanimously have the same answer should be commentary enough on how they have to live their lives.
