aww man! finally! i always thought if only there was a switch or a button that could switch my lights on and off....

I was a political science major, and I have been doing a lot of thinking about what a Jones upset would mean. It’s pretty significant, and requires a fair amount of nuanced thinking. So I apologize in advance if this gets kind of dense and long, but here’s the analysis of someone who studies and thinks about this…

I own crappy cars. I’ve had a lot of batteries die.

Is it wrong that I’m hoping it says “Happy Holidays” too?

Every chance I get.

I get way too smug when I see drivers weaving in and out of traffic, cutting everyone off, only for me to beat them to the same destination. You’re saving yourself <1 minute tops by driving recklessly in almost every situation. Shit happens, but driving like an ass doesn’t miraculously make you not late when it does.

Only Waze gives close to reasonable estimates, and it basically routes you down irrigation ducts and through people’s back yards.

This.

If you are playing your time so tight that having to slow down from 70 to 60 for a few minutes makes you late, you aren’t actually planning, you’re hoping for the best. And no one should camp in the passing lane. That’s a dick move.

or if your late just drive normal and be late. that’s what i do, I would rather arrive alive than not arrive at all.

Lived in Seattle, made the shitty commute to capitol hill every day. and 99% of the time if I was late it’s because I was really hoping traffic wouldn’t be that bad. The other 1% of the time was earthquakes.

Tell me I’m wrong though :)

We’ve all done it. We’ve all left late, drove stupid and got mad at everyone else for daring to be on the road.Recognizing it’s usually your own damn fault is the first step in correcting the problem.

Here’s a really important one: If you are late, it’s probably your own fault. Don’t take it out on everyone else.

Very rarely are you late because of a cyclist, pedestrian or slow moving traffic. You are late because you waited until the last minute to leave and expected perfect conditions on the road. So now, you are…

“We find her comments to be very disappointing and demoralizing to the hundreds of people on our team that have left their homes and families and have come here to help the people of Puerto Rico.”

I still miss the swaying grass.

Mostly OT, but I can’t put this is a social thread and I don’t see it anywhere else.

It wasn’t that people didn’t show; it was that their votes didn’t count because of the useless and antiquated electoral college.

>but we’re getting great marks from **the people that truly matter**

Last weekend all we wanted was for the president to stop spending all his time tweeting about the NFL and pay attention to Puerto Rico. He’s done that!

Despite his constantly violating their Terms of Service, they have specifically said that they refuse to block him. So charming.
