Drivers who ignore "Lane Closed Ahead - Merge Right" signs

On 40 right now west of Asheville the DOT even tries to help the misled like you by putting “both lanes should continue to merge point then alternate merging” on the electronic signs. Your school lunch line approach just doubles the length of the backup.

So you’re assuming 100% human efficiency in this


Dec 23, 2021, 8:42 AM

Perfectly moving single file line? I mean, technically if everyone stopped at an intersection hit the gas pedal the minute the light turned green it would proceed with perfect efficiency too, but that’s not how it works in reality.

Your single file line is going to be stop and go anyway because people are lousy drivers. Merging efficiently isn’t the mark of a jack wagon, as much as being a vigilante who doesn’t understand traffic flow and tries to keep someone from merging.

I think he means Dabo's nihl philiosophy.


Dec 23, 2021, 8:48 AM

Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy. While few philosophers would claim to be nihilists, nihilism is most often associated with Friedrich Nietzsche who argued that its corrosive effects would eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. In the 20th century, nihilistic themes–epistemological failure, value destruction, and cosmic purposelessness–have preoccupied artists, social critics, and philosophers. Mid-century, for example, the existentialists helped popularize tenets of nihilism in their attempts to blunt its destructive potential. By the end of the century, existential despair as a response to nihilism gave way to an attitude of indifference, often associated with antifoundationalism.

1. People who drive either 65 or 25 when the speed limit is 45 on a busy road. This seems to be at least half of all drivers.

3. People who drop off someone in front of the grocery store/Home Depot, and instead of proceeding to a parking spot for the wait, they remain parked directly in front of the store in the clearly marked "NO PARKING" zone for 20 minutes, blocking one lane of traffic the entire time as everybody else has to go around them.

1 and 4 are the same issue I think...


Dec 23, 2021, 9:57 AM [ in reply to haven't seen some of these mentioned ]

People who are so consumed with themselves and what they are trying to do in the moment that they become oblivious to the carnage they wreak around them. After they decide to go ahead and take that left on red when the traffic is already backed up into the intersection and cost 10-15 people a light cycle without saving themselves more than 10 seconds of time. Or when they sidle by the people standing in line to go grab something and then sneak in at the register from the other angle. I about got in a brawl at a liquor store (ironically) over that one. The aforementioned grocery store aisle chatters. Left lane sitters. The people who change their minds on dinner and leave the steak on the bread aisle shelf to rot. The people with 30 items in the express lane. The people who pull up to the gas pump and stop at the first one instead of rolling to the last one. etc.

Given that there is a significant body of scientific evidence that being charitable and giving to others makes people genuinely more happy than being selfish and self-centered, it seems likely that those folks are all just in a feedback loop of shittiness.

I ponder this philosophical question often.


Dec 23, 2021, 10:27 AM

I have no doubt that social media is at the root of the issue, but the question is:

1) Have we always been this selfish, and the widespread vanity and hubris just made society less embarrassed to behave accordingly.

or

2) We were generally more humble and empathetic, and the use of social media (convincing us, quite incorrectly, that our every waking thought is worthy to bestow upon the world) made us far more self-centered than we were?

but yes, simply #2 is true. for a plethora of reasons. the first probably being that people used to have to work for #### and depend on one another to get by. now everyone has a $1.5k phone, a $1.5k TV, an $800 computer and ##### to the high heavens about how tough it is.

It's almost the opposite - how many of grandma's recipes did she take to her grave with her without sharing with anybody just HOW she made everything taste so good?

#### near every single thing "good" about facebook and social media is ultimately bad. Self-centeredness reinforced by dopamine and seratonin hits everytime you get a like not only leads to an overall lower sense of well-being and self-worth, but actually chemically guarantees that we will be unhappy by the end of a scrolling session assuming it goes long enough.

One, because what you see starts to make you feel negative, but two, because even if it's all good and positive your brain gets more and more immune to the dopamine hits and then tries to achieve equilibrium by flooding you with counter hormones. Which will leave you feeling like #### every single time if you scroll long enough.

Take the lounge. There are probably 100 or fewer "regulars" in here who "know" each other. This is the size tribe we were meant to exist in as social primates. And even though it's online, which is another aspect that minimizes some of the positive aspects of social interaction, many of the folks on here have met in person, or interacted more personally than on the board and therefore it's probably much closer to the way were designed to work.

It started when they allowed comments on news articles. That gave people a "voice". Now with the escalation of social media, every mouth breather has an outlet to #####, every depressed Karen can find an outlet to complain and her circle will justify it only to be catty with their friends group when the poster isn’t present, and every ######## can advance some idiotic cause that will become important because it’s trending.

It’s killed our news because people want to be first rather than right. It’s killed critical thinking because stupid people can find any conspiracy theory to justify what they want to believe rather than doing work to find the right answer.

I gotta lotta hate today, imma just stop. But you get the picture of my irrelevant opinion.

Dec 23, 2021, 11:46 AM [ in reply to Bicyclists. On the highway. Who want us to "Share the Road" ]

limit is over 25 mph. Period. I don't care what the stupid laws are or how much your bike cost or how official you stupid bicycle gear and attire is. Get out of the #### way and stay out of the #### way before you get yourself or somebody else killed because you can't keep up and are constantly slowing down and backing up traffic because you are too self-centerd and inconsiderate.

There is a very busy 4 lane road near me that I travel almost daily. Speed limit is 45, but of course cars routinely barrel through at 60+. Almost every day for the past couple of weeks, during rush hour, there is some doofus riding a bicycle in the road, with a line of cars behind him as he grinds up a long hill. About 10-15years ago, there was a young woman who did the same thing in the same spot, and I told my wife one day, "she's gonna get killed", as she seemed oblivious as cars honked and swerved as they tried to get around her. Sure enough, one day I didn't see her, and it was on the news, woman killed on bicycle.

I got behind a pack of these clowns a while back on Augusta/25 heading toward Donaldson Center from Greenville, during rush hour about 5:30. About 15 of them in a pack. Total aceholes.

Grievance against the song 'Winter Wonderland'


Dec 23, 2021, 7:44 PM

Sleigh bells ring are you listnin'
In the lane snow is glistnin'

Okay, right off the bat it's clear this is pre-industrial revolution romanticism, implying that if you're not 'listnin'' you're somehow socially deficient.

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Okay. Fine. Sounds cold.

In the meadow we could build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say 'are you married' we'll say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town

BACK THE FREAKIN' SNOWPLOW UP! Are you saying you and some unspecified lover rolled balls of snow into an imaginary frosty preacher, hoping it would somehow make its ways into town without melting to proclaim you legally married? Are you on peyote or something? You built the d#mn snowman in a meadow. How the h#ll do you figure it'll make its way into town, seeing as how snowmen have no means of locomotion?

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonder--

Oh, for crying out... You have to conspire to face your own plans? I mean, if that's the case, I think one might oughta consider the trustworthiness of their partner.

Don't mean disparage the holiday season or anything, but I get the feeling the dude that wrote that song probably consummated the relationship long before it was made official. Prolly left the chick knocked up and on her own, the b#stard.

Oh well, nothing to do but reflect now. Merry Christmas y'all!
