Yup. Be predictable, not courteous. You'll save lives.

I'm fine with moving forward and using his car as my new stop line until the lane is clear. He's the asshole for assuming everyone waiting behind him wants to be as courteous and patient.

Leviathan ,

Another thing that enrages me is people who think driving slowly is safer for whatever reason.

Getting on the highway? Let's SLOWLY merge at 60% the speed of oncoming traffic.

Changing lanes from stationary traffic into a full speed lane? I won't wait for the lane to clear, I'll just turn signal and move into the lane REAL SLOW because that's safe.

Turning right? Let's slow down to a complete stop and force traffic to a halt so I can turn right.

As a delivery truck driver I can't tell you how many people think that everyone else can just stop on a dime for them and they're being safe because they move over at a snail's Pace.

Leviathan ,

Yeah, that's because you know how to drive. I can't tell you how many people just turn in front of a truck and expect it to slow down for them. Playing with their lives.

At 100 km/h (low-end highway spreed), or 1,666 m/minute, or 27.7 m per second, a 2 second gap leaves approximately 56.6 m (185.6 feet) between cars. With the average car length being ~4.9 m (~16 feet), even the absolute worst driver can merge in a space ten times the size of the average car, assuming they're matching highway speed.

Most people have no actual concept of how long 2 seconds actually is or how much space it would leave in reality.

I spent the last couple of years selling and eating fancy cheeses and I'd say that isn't true. Some are better melted, some I let come to room temperature long before eating and some (almost none, though) I prefer cold.

Trust me, some cheeses will turn into an oily puddle when melted.

My guess is your experience is with young, semisoft, and American cheeses?

Leviathan ,

Yeah so young cheddar then, the aged stuff separates pretty badly and weeps oil instead of melting properly.

Leviathan ,

Were living* unfortunately.

I left to work for a non-profit a little bit ago. I seriously miss getting invited out to visit cheese, beer and wine (and whatever else local) producers. I spent my vacations just going from place to place.

My dream is to produce goat cheese, so maybe someday I'll be back in the life.

Leviathan ,

You know what, that is totally valid and I'd do the same.

Leviathan ,

Gasp!

Leviathan ,

A Black-capped Chickadee! Nice.

Leviathan ,

Thanks for the info! Learned something new today.

Leviathan ,

hot labor summer

Haha they wish

Not a classic lunatic, but this person seems to be doomposting on linkedin ( sopuli.xyz )

Alt text: two posts from the same person on LinkedIn. First post is someone dressed as spiderman lying on the ground in a park while it rains. Second post is an apparently naked person floating in a water body in a boat with their limbs hanging out.

Leviathan ,

Definitely better than that guy who dropped out of high school and did coke until his rich daddy got him a job and now he posts about how hard work and manifestation are the keys to success.

Leviathan ,

I think you may have replied to the wrong person. They were talking about the crazy Q movie.

Leviathan ,

None. Quality of life is already a huge bonus.

Leviathan ,

Absolutely. You might compare their work, which janitors generally work themselves to the bone and have to deal with filth, while CEOs have to deal with stress. What about retirement? People who work manual labor generally destroy their bodies and have terrible quality of life after retirement or just in later years in general, CEOs get to walk away with their health. Work is work. If they put in equal effort they should make an equal wage.
