I’ll take two

Well… that’s true.

Wow, neat! Thanks for the explanation

How do you do that?

If the OP had only written “Horns should come equipped with different sounds to better communicate with other drivers”, which is the overarching gist of what they were musing, the thread would be different. But they added the story which prompted the thought. Instead of considering the benefits, or even drawbacks, of the proposed suggestion- you fixated on the story itself, seeing a great opportunity to interject some moralizing and also indirectly boast to the rest of the readers about what a good driver you think you are. There’s nothing to debated about what you wrote, everything you said is correct.

But it’s easy to admonish others opening up to explain a mistake by clubbing them with an imagined perfect scenario.

Should all people be better drivers? Yes, of course. Is that realistic? No. And is it really related to the actual proposal the OP opined on? Very tentatively.

Also, I certainly don’t think you are a bad person. A very human person. Just like me. And all the upvoters who are now thinking “Yeah, OP’s dad should be a better driver! And thinking that makes me feel better about myself” instead thinking about auditorial communication.

That was a wild ride.

Various horn sounds is a good idea. I always wanted text messaging displayed on the vehicle.

How does your comment have so many upvotes when it doesn’t address the actual topic about a new horn sound at all? It’s just finger wagging.

A good example of why humanity is doomed: people are shackled to their reflexive need to jerk off their egos at any and every opportunity they see rather than focus on thinking.

I just had a great mental picture of some scientists chasing down and tackling a wild dog to try and shampoo it.

The great thing about being weird is that nobody knows when you’re on drugs.

While there is much evidence of foreign involvement I have no doubt there was intense fuckery on the American side going on. Collusion, in fact. There’s just too many ‘coincidences’ and random things.

The official narrative is wrong and wrong on purpose. The true story will probably never be known.

Yeah, he’s a real person. He wrote the 48 Laws of Power, one on Seduction, one on Strategy. Another on careers.

If you’re willing to take all his works with a helping of salt it’s pretty entertaining.

Don’t bother, there’s nothing there to get closure on.

He wanted to screw on the first date and when that didn’t happen he immediately moved on to the next prospect. He’s not looking for anything but booty.

Don’t waste your time.

Psh, somebody can’t do math, '96 wasn’t 30… years a-

…fuck.

Yeah, that sealed the deal. On the bright side, it taught me a pretty good strategy that’s paid off since: now I wait until a series is out and completed. If it gets decent enough reviews I might get a copy. That way I avoid the hype and inevitable let down when it gets cancelled or ends poorly. Like skipping the game of thrones despite having read all the books.

Series with stand alone stories are easy, like Black Mirror or Death Love + Robots. But I have caught a few good series over the years.

I don’t have any streaming services. Hell, I don’t even have a TV, so that’s less temptation to starting something on a whim.

No, not at all. And I say this as someone who is the exact opposite. Type… uh, z personality (Type-Z, as in zzz…).

It’s just that well adjusted type-a’s don’t really stand out much. They might be a little on the nit-picky side of getting things right, known for showing up a few minutes early, have goals they target and work toward. Maybe they stress a little more than most when things don’t line up but over all, they’re the ones who are starting normal businesses, putting in the extra hours, etc.

You need these people in society because they keep things moving and the wheels from falling off. They’re the ones that actually care enough to do it right.

And some people are just wired for high intensity situations, do well in them, and that is reflected in their lifestyles.

But those with unresolved personal issues stand out a lot more, like the guy in your example. Whether it’s from performance conditional love from the parents as a child, some kind of mania, or what have you, they are more extreme. Ironically, they often do become very successful and it then becomes even harder to treat them because their success is reinforcing their unhealthy habits.

Conversely, in non type-A types, their dysfunction is often much harder to see. That’s your perfectly average coworker who seems fine when they leave for the day but goes home and cries in bed until they fall asleep.

Was going to say the same!

I was never a big tv watcher to begin with but after that whole fiasco I realized the whole thing is a scam designed to string you along for as long as possible. They start with one or two good seasons and then just wing it until it runs out of steam and don’t give a shit about the story as long as they’re making money. So disrespectful to the viewer’s time and emotional investment. It violates a basic principle in storytelling: begin with the end in mind.

I quit watching all TV after that, with the exception of the Walking Dead (due to the gf’s insistence) which only further cemented my convictions.

That I am going to lose my fucking mind. I have untreated psychiatric issues so it’s not only possible but at some point probable. Every day feels like a roll of the dice but I white knuckle through.

They died. That kind of put a damper on things. Haven’t had much contact with them since.
