I’m not trying to convince anyone of something. I’m just telling why you’re being downvoted, and it’s not because of the content of your post. I’d post differently if I were trying to make a sincere point.

Hit him with both.

It’s not that we don’t agree with you, it’s that your kinda acting like a dick. Change your tone and you might get a better reception.

When I’m driving, if there is a path crossing that has a light, and if there is someone sitting there waiting that hasn’t pushed the button, I’m not stopping. It’s not to be a dick, it’s for safety reasons.

A few years ago, there was a fairly high profile local situation where someone hit and killed someone in a cross walk. What happened is it was a 4 lane in town road and someone was waiting to cross. Car A stops and waves then through, car B in the other lane drives through unaware there was someone crossing in front of the car that stopped in the middle of the road. Predictable transportation is safe transportation. Whether you’re walking, biking, driving, or whatever, be predictable and consistent with the rules.

I’ve been road biking a lot more frequently training for a triathlon. You gotta keep you head on a swivel because too many people don’t understand right of way. I have a few roundabouts near me, and when I get to one, it’s a coin flip as to if the other drivers no how they work. They aren’t new. I had to lay on the horn the other day when someone stopped in the roundabout to let a car in. It was warm and windows were down so they definitely heard me yell, “don’t stop in the fucking roundabout, dumbass”. I haven’t called someone a dumbass in a while. I’ve grown harsher in my insults, and bringing out a classic like that felt good.

Never forget.

I’ve also cared less about calling people out as I’ve gotten older, but it takes one unhinged douche to pull a knife or a gun and end it. I’ve come very close to getting into a physical altercation a couple of times for calling people out. One being someone that ran me into a curb when they went from in to out on a double left. We had a shouting match through our windows, he threatened me, cut me off and brake checked me, then said let’s go fight. I was going into work, and he didn’t follow me. I hate people so much.

Unfortunately, yea there are people that are that way. A recently public scandal, Christian music singer, Michael Tait has been accused of sexually assaulting under age boys for years. His statements were more verbose but very similar to what you said.

Maybe it’s the farts, Mr. Fartographer?

Kind of related to this… I was out on a run this spring and I was approaching an intersection that I didn’t have to stop at and the road to my left had a stop sign. I saw a car approaching the stop sign, and there weren’t any obstructions so I was clearly visible in my bright green shorts. I’m always watching because people suck and I’m glad I was, because I ended up parkouring this dude’s hood when he finally stopped 10’ past the stop sign. I was the Heisman trophy for a moment. I turned around and gave him the “what the fuck” hands and gestured at the stop sign, and this mother fucker looked at me like I fucked up. Fortunately I didn’t get taken out at the knees and I just kept going . I still think I should have busted his side mirror off and put a fist sized dent in his hood. I’d love to watch him try and explain that to a cop.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I’ve never heard the term cross ride before, so your question was useful. Perhaps it’s the keying thing, but a bunch of the comments in here are about hitting the car, so yours isn’t any different. Whatever I guess, fake internet points and all that, but it’s peculiar.

I agree. I also think a bit of humor can help spread a message. I think the statement is kinda funny and I do think they are terrorists, and so do they.

I can’t tell if there’s a /s missing there or not, but if there is, this person allegedly pointed the gun into a crowd and advanced showing intent. I would also agree that even in jest, if you brandish, you are signalling intent and immediately forfeit your right to life.

I should clarify a little. I do think MAGAs are terrorists, all of them. I was being cheeky about the part about the redundant statement being redundant. My last comment was in response to the person saying it’s not redundant until mainstream media calls it, which is technically true.

Let’s not forget when they called themselves terrorists. If someone wanted me to support my belief, I would reference that. If I were to ask a MAGA the same thing for their negative generalization, I’d imagine I wouldn’t get a response built in truth, like when they say all Dems are pedophiles, or something like that

Hopefully we’re in that 6 month window.

The rifleman allegedly pointed his rifle at the crowd, which is illegal, not a thought crime. The protester was defending the crowd from the rifleman, not protecting themselves directly.

There seems like a very easy solution here that doesn’t require AI.

Ghosts aren’t real.

Maybe guns are bad, and maybe if you bring a rifle to a high tense situation and hold it in any manner that may seem threatening, you deserve to get shot. Super sad that an innocent died. Had the “good guy” with a gun hit the target only, then at least there would only be one less moron carrying an AR-15 today, not a sad casualty.

He killed Democrats, not a scumbag CEO.
