It's getting pretty stupid out there.

I was coming home and I was on a four lane road that narrows down to a two lane before a culvert so you must merge into one lane before the culvert. As I was in the main lane, one car ahead of me, an asshat in the lane that ends passed him and cut him off just to get across first. Then another asshat next to me tried that but he must have been wasted because I heard a loud CRUNCH as he slammed into a parked car. I am glad he hit the parked car instead of me but WTF is wrong with people these days??!!??

The world is full of crazy , lazy A-HOLES in a hurry to go nowhere

Society is being purposefully pushed to the brink. It will bring in new regulations and legislation to restrict and remove any autonomy or independence.

We have been systematically dumbing ourselves down. The exchanges Natasha and I have had with our children's educators would astonish you. It seems ours are "exceptional" students/people.

Add to this a "pandemic" (2020+ definition, not the pre-2019 definition) which crippled people (physically, psychologically, and morally) and the economy, a "war" (and another on the way), and the other crises (border security, drugs, food, formula, inflation, rioting and individual acts of violence, divisive identity politics, an ideological shift) and we can see the outcome of those pressures manifesting into the poor behaviours and questionable judgements.

Keep your head up.

A lot of drivers in general are going "free form" on their driving practices. The number of near misses in both state vehicles & my own is unbeleivable. The other day I almost was in a head on with an asshat in a bro-hauler passing a long line of traffic in a no passing zone. Nobody uses stop signs or red lights. I'm wondering if it's one of the signs to justify motorheadmike's statement

We are in a different space at the moment. Anyone that hasn’t noticed is not coherent imho. Left is right, right is wrong, yes means no, and no one is held accountable for jack sh*t.

The world is strange to me ATM so should I isolate passively or become an advocate for ‘how things should be’? At 55 I battle with that question. I used to consider that I was a normal person in the majority of our society defined by going to work everyday, supporting myself and those I’m responsible for. But I believe I’m getting closer to being in the minority.

As I said before, I believe were are in a strange place. I’m pulling for us to get through this, but until then, I watch my back. I hope all of you are watching yours.

Its NY. Do you really expect anything less ? We have those a-holes out east now. They make driving an adventure. Sad thing it used to be from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Now since Covid theyre all over the place full time. I honestly wish I could leave the island but Im stuck here until Im in a box. LOL

One thing that I used to enjoy... going to Carlisle with my 2500 crewcab 4x4 towing my open car trailer. Driving on the BQE no matter what time is always the same. 2PM or 2AM people still wouldnt let me merge. Then I would jerk the wheel enough to whip the trailer. It was always fun to see people swerve out of the way to let me in.
