I've been thinking more about my previous reblog and honestly I'm still a little baffled by the fact a lot of folks on the road where I live act like encountering a cyclist is the worst thing that can happen to them. because it's not, cyclists overwhelmingly know the rules of the road and follow them, and so long as you're not making them unsafe, you can coexist quite peacefully. maybe you'll have to slow down a bit when you pass them, but that's it.

no, the actual worst kind of person to encounter on the road is someone driving one of those massive pickup trucks. those people know the rules of the road and voluntarily, spitefully elect to ignore them because they think they're above interpersonal responsibility and they enjoy making everyone else as unsafe as possible at all times about it

the people with the "im da king of da highway" mindsets arent the guys weaving in and out of lanes passing people. its the ones going 75 mph in the fifth-most left lane ignoring the drivers passing, tailgating, and honking at them. with their smug superiority for going the speed limit, because why would anyone want to go faster than what theyre going?

Whoever the fuck is driving those tiktokified LED ass three wheelers on the road and whoever invented them I hate you so much with my little heart I wish you a merry die

I've been trying to let myself sit without entertainment from time to time, out of some vague notion that if I don't flick from work to escapist fiction to conversation with loved ones to fiction to a different piece of fiction back to work etc etc then I may have some original thoughts, and perhaps even develop opinions on my own. Of course, I already have some thought patterns ingrained, and even when I'm thinking of whatever topic is most important to me in that moment, I think in a manner that I have often learned from the outside world. All that to say, I spent 3 hours driving today and I primarily spent that time hazily composing tumblr posts in my head about, like, fellow road users and how the sun was kind of in my eyes.

busted out the middle finger to a driver that was tailgaiting me and now i feel bad because it was impolite 😭

When driving, don't tailgate. Always keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you.

First of all, in most cases it's not going to be effective at making the car in front of you speed up. Many people will intentionally slow down or even give "break checks" when being tailgated out of spite for the rude act, so there's very rarely going to be any benefit. You are accomplishing nothing except behaving like a bully.

Second of all, it's very dangerous and possibly deadly. Say, a toddler or a puppy runs out in front of the car you're tailgating causing them to slam on their breaks. If you had actually been following at a safe distance, you would have had enough time to safely react and break on time before rear ending them, or at the very least minimized how hard you rear end them. However, if you're tailgaiting you can cause a dangerous, possibly deadly, rear end collision due to you not giving a safe distance between you and the car in front of you.

Is ending up in the hospital or dead, or being responsible for putting someone else in the hospital or killing someone else worth it just because you're feeling impatient? Road safety rules such keeping a safe distance between you and the car in front of you exist for a reason and save lives when actually followed.

i have such stupid petty lords alliance city state hcs for like. TWO of the SEVEN cities that has but in my defense my brain is ooze and only three of those city states get content

SALLYING FORTH NONETHELESS

the lords alliance, in addition to having trade agreements and standardized exchange rates ala the EU, also has a sports league. meaning each city state has their own team

waterdeep has stupid petty beef with baldurs gate because of it. baldurs gate had zero ideas for a team name so theyre the baldurs gate dragons, owing to ansur. waterdeep, having named their CURRENCY dragons, REALLY REALLY wanted to be the waterdeep dragons but didnt lock it in before baldurs gate. theyre the waterdeep wizards and theyre so fucking mad about it

waterdeep keeps trying to get baldurs gate to change the name. baldurs gate refuses. waterdeep frequently tries to pull shit like "if you lose this tournament you gotta change the name". despite being absolute ass, baldurs gate is still the BG dragons. cope and seethe waterdeep

baldurs gate is a notorious shithole. everyone in baldurs gate hates that fucking city. no ones allowed to talk shit about the gate but baldurians. YOU ALL HATE IT WRONG 😤

baldurians have an ironic pride ala "this is OUR shithole". theyre the number one in homicides in the continent with one fifth of the population getting serial killed BUT THEYRE NUMBER ONE IN SOMETHIN BAYBEEEEEE

the gate has an honestly slept on food scene. youll walk into a trashy pub on the docks with bathrooms that can give you tetanus and have the best seafood youve ever tasted. theres like 90 places just like it. all dingy, all run by rude cunts, with line cooks who will insult you to your face, and the food is artery clogging heaven

baldurs gate has godtier sandwich shops. youll walk into a dingy hole in the wall spot and order a cuban thatll blow your tits CLEAN off

baldurians dont brag about the food scene cuz literally none of it is clean and squeaky enough for tourists and also its just a given

waterdeep has bodegas and they will never stop reminding you they have bodegas (so does baldurs gate but theyre just called corner stores.)

waterdeep prides itself on being a bustling clean center of commerce with healthy tourism and generally is just a straight improvement on baldurs gate in every way. why wont you give us the fucking team name come ONNNN

the beef between BG and waterdeep is petty and eternal. your never getting the fucking team name we will put BHAALISTS on the football team before you fucking get it.

if the bg dragons make it to finals in anything its either a fucking divine miracle or waterdeep ran their mouth. the winner of the bet pool is determined by whether or not theres divine intervention on the field. the intervention doesnt have to be in baldur gates favor. sometimes helm would rather a second spellplague than see the dragons score.

waterdeep WILL have riots outside the stadium if they lose. baldurs gate is just happy to be there and also too busy illegally tailgaiting in the parking lot. someone fit an entire blackstone grill in their trunk and if you go down aisle f you can get a pulled pork sandwich and a corona for $7 out of the back of the purple miyata

back alley murders in the gate go up if the dragons win a trophy to balance out the good luck. dont want bhaal to crawl out of the sewers and startin killin again. might not be related but why risk it

baldurs gate is fantasy detroit. waterdeep is fantasy new york. and neverwinter is fantasy chicago

i’m going to the seoul concert on sunday too, do you know how early we should show up? it’s not actually six hours before right? :(

I'm going both days, Saturday and Sunday. I've also been wondering about this, whether I need to do an open run to the booths opening at 11 a.m. because I very much want a goddamn Lightiny now and KQ isn't selling it online ahead of time. (Apparently this company has also miscalculated the number at least once and RAN OUT before a fan meeting). Given what I have going on outside of Ateez (which is more than you might think! LOL), I will at best probably arrive around 1 p.m. on Saturday. How about I do that, and then I let you know what that was like?

In case you're not already in Korea - we had a warm Saturday but it was VERY cold yesterday and we're going to be slammed with a Siberian cold snap the middle of this week, so I don't know what the weather will be like on the weekend.

It sounds like it might actually be fun to go very early though, because what the K-Atiny are describing sounds like tailgaiting before a football game. Crafty Atiny are posting on X that they will be doing 'give aways' of keyrings and other things they've made to share. There's three booths to visit if you want to do all the multiple authentications and cross checks they are demanding - the goods booth, a game booth, some sort of special 'zone' for fanclub members - and there's also the work of having to get 15,000 people inside a stadium and seated, so while not six hours, it sounds like there's going to be stuff to do for almost the duration (inclusive of standing forever in one line or another).

if you're getting tailgaited speed up

[molsno]

can't stop thinking about the tesla that tailgaited me while I was speeding 10 kmph over the speed limit and kept flashing his brights in my mirror because he wanted me to speed up even more. like bro do you not see my fucking california license plate. I'm a foreigner in this country and the last thing I need is to get pulled over by a cop who thinks it would be fun to write up a ticket for a california car. I already don't speed up to accommodate tailgaters because I think they're the scum of the earth so I maintained a steady speed and he eventually overtook me while blaring his horn at me. anyway all this is to say that I think tesla drivers should kill themselves

who: austin + theo (@theoxeverhart) where: tailgaiters (sports bar)

some people might avoid this type of establishment if they were a professional football player, but austin was a fan just as much as he was a player, so he sat at his usual stool at the bar, eyes up on the late game, nursing a half full beer. out of the corner of his eye, he spotted theo approaching and indicated the seat beside him, a full beer waiting and a plate of appetizers between them. "sorry," he said with an apologetic smile. "i was starving. mozarella sticks are awesome." he took a sip of his drink and tipped his glass towards the tv. "who you got in this one?"
