I'm pretty sure those who have set it at 60mph have calculations you didn't consider.

Maybe there are places on the road where someone may suddenly appear, be it human or a wild animal? Maybe the road can get slippery? Maybe the cars going above 60mph create too much noise in the neighborhood? There are many more reasons one could set a road at that, and many may not even come to your mind.

And no, this is almost certainly not about tickets. If it is - screw them and follow the rule!

The danger is created in the first place by normalization of speeding.

I am aware that, technically, if I'd drive by traffic at any given time, accidents will be less likely. But this danger of variable speed is not created by me moving too slow, it's because of others moving too fast, because speeding is normalized in the first place, which introduces the problem that wouldn't otherwise be there. The lane speed should be within bounds of speed limit, the rest is not and should never be my problem or fault.

Now, don't get me wrong, if my actions can prevent an actually imminent accident (such as speeding up to let someone return to lane before reverse traffic traps them) - of course I will. But for regular driving, I strictly adhere to the rules and regulations. If this gets someone who breaks the rules in an accident - that's on them, maybe it'll teach them a lesson.

They won't; sponsored by the big capital, they are not capable of providing a large systemic change without losing the platform to speak on.

The issue is systemic, and Dems are not fit to solve it. Third party, funded by the regular people, is the only way forward.

My fear every time

Never actually happened, but still

This one answer is serious and true, just heads up.

This.

I drive by the limit, and every time I say this a bunch of folks jumps in saying I am the problem when I stop my lane and poor poor speeders have to adapt and not crash into each other.

Speed limits are there for a reason. Speeders love to say shit like "they're outdated", but this is also wrong, they are up to date with vehicles on the road.

Drive. By. The. Damn. Limit. Those who installed them are more informed than you about risks and dangers on this track, and no, your car brakes are not as good as you think they are (and also there's likely someone behind you with worse ones).

Honestly, many of them you know full well, but that's because yes, they are that good:

  • Minecraft
  • TES III Morrowind and TES V Skyrim
  • The Witcher 1 and 3
  • Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Dishonored 1 and 2
  • Warcraft III and World of Warcraft

Completely deserve their legendary status

It's just a negative penis size!

(But really, clitoris is kinda a derivative of penis)

14cm

I'd say it's a fairly average European dick

While it may sound weird, it's actually super true.

You'll be amazed at how long it actually is once you try to slip it out.

 

The+One+And+Only+Correct+Way+To+Hang+Your+Toilet+Paper-3048017586

I just had two different rolls of toilet paper sitting in my bathroom, and looking at them from the shower I got an epiphany.

Some rolls are soft on both sides, while some only on external one!

And if you have the latter and tend to rip two squares and fold (and it's easier to fold downside up), if you hang it over you'll end up with the rough side!

Those people just don't want to hurt their bums! All while the rest enjoys more easy access to toilet paper while hanging it over.

Endless debate...solved?

The trip was longer than I expected (10% learning and 90% rehearsing), but here I am, completing my first step (think of it as A1) of the loooong journey to figure out how this entire thing works. Got myself a few HSK1 tests to confirm - all passed.

Working on HSK2 now! 祝我好运 (wish me luck)!

Wonderful family New Year (self.positivity)
submitted 1 year ago by Allero to c/positivity
 

For the first time in 8 years, our entire grand family gathered together this New Year's night.

It was a miracle - a message from my childhood, and a way to relive that magic again.

We celebrated through 3 homes in different parts of the city, had walks, fireworks, Christmas trees, easter egg hunts (tshhh, yes, easter eggs in New Year), delicious food of course, and through it all, and above all - a lot of genuine smiles and connection we all embraced together.

It was my push to celebrate it this way, and I'm extremely happy how it played out. Having some more memories to cherish though this - hopefully great - year!

So, I'm a long term fan of Bat for Lashes, and recently I figured out they made collaboration with The Album Leaf - a very new group to me.

I'm not normally much into ambient, but this album, Future Falling, is a true musical masterpiece. The head song has all it needs - the calm rhythms, the great progression, and just that feeling of...a great future ahead.

The track Near is amazing, too, Bat for Lashes' voice falls on it like butter on the bread - never would I think she's so good with it!

And everything, really, is so well-balanced, well-thought-out, I can't even describe. Have a listen, even if you never thought (like me) that ambient is for you!
