the original discussion was about people who honk instantly.
The top of this thread is someone saying they don’t know if you’re paying attention. I was replying to your comment about “honking meaning move immediately.”
Conversations shift as people say things. If I wanted to comment on the original discussion I would have started a new thread relplying to the original discussion. I was replying to you about the thing you said.
There is a period of time in which it becomes reasonable to honk at someone who hasn’t moved. In the extreme example it is not polite to sit behind someone who misses the green light entirely because they aren’t paying attention to the road. At some point the person in front is holding up traffic for everyone behind them and they are the one being rude.
Honk means “pay attention”. If the light has been green long enough for me to honk at you you’re not paying attention to anything on the road, danger or otherwise.
You also said people were trying to pass on the right. If there is enough room for them to pass on the right then there is enough room for you to move over and let them pass.
I used to have a longish commute on the highway and would use cruise control the entire way. It’s bizarre how often I’d encounter some that we would pass each other 3 times because they can’t decide what speed that want to go at. My speed hasn’t changed.
Was driving on the highway and it was packed. It wasn’t stop go, but we were under the speed limit with cars lined up as far as you can see.
I look in my review and I can’t even see the headlights of the guy behind me over my bumper. (I’m in a sedan, not a high bumper by a long shot). This is a dangerous situation so I ease off the gas and move over as soon as I get a chance.
This guy then proceeds to pass me, move in front of me, and slow down. I’m sorry, I thought you were in a rush considering how much you were riding my ass, but looks like you have plenty of time to be an asshole.
Next gap in the left lane and I pull over and accelerate, he doesn’t have room to get in front of me, and doesn’t have room to get behind me again due to all the cars.
I have no idea how long he had to wait to get back into the left lane, but for someone so impatient he was very effective at wasting his own time.
Chicken pork for dayz!
Trump needs that money for his big boy parade.
Good point, I’m starting to think this comic doesn’t appropriately represent reality…
I keep a notepad document of my desktop for making temporary notes on.
It’s that the one that wants me to use it’s AI editor?
Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
I’m on the fence about which is better. Portal 2 is an improvement, but also has its flaws.
Part of the reason I would argue Portal 1 was better is because it was so unexpected. I went in expecting “interesting puzzle game” which it is, but I did not expect to also get “excellent humor with strange horror vibes and incredibly good personality.”
If someone didn’t know what a Glados was I think the first one is better. I also recognize that many people who have never played Portal are well aware of Glados.
Ender Lilies
It’s a mechanically strong Metroidvania with branching paths, hidden areas, and exploration, but what I love about it is the atmosphere and the juxtapositions is uses.
It is a crumbling decaying kingdom full of monstrosities, and the main character is an innocent little girl in a pure white dress. Lily does not attack, some of the monsters she is able to purify to restore their mind at which point they help her. So when you attack a monster appears to do the attack animation, while lily cowers a bit behind it.
One thing I love is when you are in a boss fight and shit is going down hard, the sound track is extremely chill piano music. The soft and beautiful contrasts against the harshness of the situation is a very compelling way.
The sequel Ender Magnolias is good as well. Mechanically there are some improvements, but I don’t feel like the atmosphere or world building is as good. That may be because I played Lilies and was used to it. If your haven’t played either I’d suggest starting with Lilies, and if you like Magnolias is worth your time.
WINE works surprisingly well too. I’ve seen people talk about gaming on Linux using Lutris or launching it through Steam as a “Non-Stean game” but I just put my files in my WINE directory and have better success.
I got a dual boot going so I could try Linux and have a windows fallback. Mint went so smoothly for me I never used my windows boot.
Your right, everyone should just keep waiting for someone else to fix this for them.
Generally that’s what mortgages are for. Considering rent needs to cover the cost of [ mortgage + expenses + the landlord’s profit ] anyone that can afford rent can afford the mortgage.
That’s not to mention the reason housing prices are so absurd is because landlords are buying up all the available supply in order to profit it off of it existing. Without landlords housing becomes much more affordable.
We are having a housing crisis right now. So how about we worry about the large group of people who want to own shelter and can’t, and then we can worry about the much smaller group of people who have the means to move constantly but find hiring a realtor just too much effort.
