Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

CTA Red Line trains are stopped in both directions between the Wilson and Thorndale Avenues after a person was apparently struck by a northbound train at about 4:50 p.m.Tuesday, a CTA spokeswoman said.

So that' why my commute was so slow. (I was on the first southbound train they let past Argyle.) There were about 25-30 cops and CTA employees standing around on the platform....

hip deep in pie

Ones who come to a stop >1 car length behind the car in front of them at the light, whether or not they spend the duration of the red inching forwards.

I'm pretty sure that I was taught this was safe driving practice, in case you get rear-ended. But it's been a while, I can't really remember.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That may help if you get accidentally rear-ended, but I'm guessing your chances of getting rear-ended in the first place just jumped exponentially.

If anyone does that in front of me in Los Angeles traffic, I get so far up on their ass as to force them to move forward. it is simply unacceptable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure that I was taught this was safe driving practice, in case you get rear-ended

Why inch forward, though? I stop pretty far back when judged against the average non-freak (parking distance back so I can swing out of that lane of traffic without hitting my car on the one in front), but I stay there. There's nothing in it for me to stop where I don't want to be stopped, and I see people doing it up to two car lengths back.

If anyone does that in front of me in Los Angeles traffic, I get so far up on their ass as to force them to move forward. it is simply unacceptable.

I admit, I do get that reflex. I just don't like the proximity.

::googles caprese salad::

That's very pretty. It's made me want tortelloni, though.

It's especially annoying if the cars ahead of you are wasting space, preventing you from getting into the left turn lane until they pull forward....
