I saw that bridge being built in 2007 when we got to drive across the dam. I suspect I would also go out of my way to find an alternate route!

My sister was driving under an overpass once, and some kids dropped a 1 foot diameter rock off the bridge and it nearly killed her.

My policy is to roll the window down, rain or shine, winter or summer if the car is running and I get out.

It’s a good “fear” I do the same b/c I assume jackass kids put a rock or bowling ball in them.

Me too. I guess my irrational fear is driving into a body of water and all the electronic gizmos will prevent me from escaping.

My wife and I spent three months driving mostly around the US southwest in 2007. Every time we went below half a tank, I started looking to fill up. I was so paranoid about being in the middle of nowhere and out of gas. This was all paper maps and guesstimation too.

Oh man, me too. Not sure if you’ve ever driven across it, but the Tappan Zee bridge across the Hudson is terrifying. It’s extremely high, and extremely narrow. And to make it worse, between the oncoming lanes are open grates!! AAAAHHH. I am sweating just picturing it in my head

I noticed that as well, but did you also note the biggest change today - a new site! Fusion (not new, but new here)

Hello, Fusion.

I didn’t mean to be so curmudgeonly - I was really referring to the online ones “Google has developed a flying train!”. Those are dumb. Little pranks on parents and kids esp. are quite fun.

The conservatives believe poor people chose to be born that way, and chose to live a life of squalor rather than bootstrapping themselves into becoming billionaires. They believe the exception makes the rule. Because a handful of poor immigrants (out of tens of millions) made it rich in the early 1900's.....why can’t…

There is no reason other than “lining his pockets” that Donald ran for president. We aren’t stupid, you fish-lipped fuck.

Fucknut above represents only himself.

Yes yes and yes to all of this.

My father had the family silver stashed away and I recently convinced him to melt it down into ingots for saving it more effeciently.

Amen. I recently got myself trained and licensed, and purchased two guns. I have come to believe it may be necessary to have them. Like you said, if there is a societal collapse, it’s not going to be pretty.

You folks must work in some lame offices. Every Monday morning, my coworkers and I gather round and talk about who we fucked how we fucked them and provide extremely graphic descriptions of who’s gentials were where and how they were implemented and how we would use them on each other and what jesus would think if he…

No, and they are obvious and a waste of everyone’s time. I call for a 25 year moratorium on April Fool’s Day.

A small business owner in the town I work in. A grown ass man.

I am in a Dad’s playgroup, and it’s hilarious because we’ve been doing it for 6 months and there are still other dads who are like “who are you again?” Dude-I’ve been here with my twins for the last 24 weekends, I introduced myself to you three times.
