It's comforting to see how many people confuse "but you never complain when bad things happen to guys!" with "I think you're a boring whiny windbag!" If you manage to trot through half these environments and not see people complain about M2M prison rape, for instance, that's likely on you and not for lack of "God, Stabler, you went there AGAIN???" Factor in that the more personally threatened a person feels the more likely they are to speak out--it does seem much more balanced than the people giving MRA a lousy name claim.

The WTF is strong with this one.

Tommy, I have to tell myself many of those are 'shopped, and the rest were comped a high-quality laser removal with good painkillers. Sheeit.

Unrelatedly--anyone here deliberately stop a car and a half, two cars behind the next one at an intersection? Is the assumption that that's always an artifact of the driver not paying attention? Or is it something people mean to do?

No. I hate that (especially when I can't make a turn because drivers ahead of me are doing it). I have no idea why people do that.

I stop well behind large trucks to avoid unsecured crap falling off them when they take off again, but with regular cars I figure if I can see their bumper over my hood I'm far enough away.

I don't know, there's something poetic about a No Regerts tattoo. Like they must really mean it.

Speaking of driving--the other day I was driving on Broadway in Chicago and a car coming from the opposite direction made a left-turn in front of me, forcing me to slam on the brakes.

As I did my panic stop, there was some chirping sounds as wheels locked up for a fraction of a second before the ABS modulated the brakes to unlock the wheels. There was not a loud screeching sound that you get when you lock up the brakes on a non-ABS car.

I kind of miss that. There's something a little satisfying about the loud screech of brakes that calls attention to the asshole who forced you to slam on the brakes.

Yeah, my current Focus is the first car I've owned with ABS. Possibly the ABS prevented me from hitting a girl that ran out in front of me a few months ago, so I guess I can't complain.

I've been told that if you can see where the tyres in front of you touch the road, you probably have enough room to pull out of that lane if you're not boxed in, and that's the safe amount to give (from a self-defense point, but seriously, who lives on that high alert? Oh, right. Krav people)

Hmm. I don't think I like that standard, as depending on how much rear-overhang the car ahead of you has, the distance could vary a lot.
