I'm a car guy and far from manly. I drive a loud annoying stick shift because it's fun and life is too short to be bored while driving.

Yeh, but unless I uproot my life and move to a different country, I'm stuck doing it, so I can either bitch and moan about how much I hate it, or have the best time I can doing it 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sounds like I'm exclaiming that something is hot, then clarifying that it was a potato.

Alright, bow out if you must.

Cringe, and implies you're trying to win an argument rather than have a conversation.

Also, I'm sorry, but you're totally wrong. I know what kind of intersection you're talking about, this definitely is not it. Maybe it's a regional thing, but XKCD is an American webcomic, these intersections are all over the place and you definitely are not supposed to stop in them.

Intersection

This is the kind of intersection you're talking about. You'll notice that the center area where the car turns is much longer than the area in the original post, in addition to having clear lane indications.

If someone were to stop in the intersection in the OP, they would have to be stopped at an awkward angle not parallel to either lane, and if someone were to follow them into the intersection, the second person would have nowhere to go.

Long story short, there's two different kinds of intersections being discussed here, regardless of whether or not you acknowledge it or which one you believe is being depicted. One of them makes the comic make sense, while the other does not. Which one do you think the artist intended to draw?

Tell your friend I work for the same company in an at will state, me and my other techs stayed home for the strike ~two weeks ago and they didn’t do anything.

If any more get planned (I heard about one at the end of this month but don’t know if it’s going to happen or not) I’d encourage them to participate!
