I might would be willing to give up all of my personal freedom if…

There was a law passed that required all vehicle manufacturers and all mobile phone manufacturers to get together and find a way to kill a phone’s screen as soon as a vehicle was started. People looking at their phones while driving has officially surpassed slow left hand drivers, for the most hated people in the world. For me at least.

I’d give up all tech-related gains to go back to 1995 or so, when there was no social media, most cell antennas on cars were fake, and people generally didn’t hate each other based on algorithms.

I would probably be known as a terrorist blowing up everything that has “helped” humanity become less human. No lives would be lost of course. But there would definitely be a lot more backyard swimming pools, trampolines, CD collections would be slightly out of control, every vehicle would be an 88’ Oldsmobile with bouncy suspension, I’d put more cops out writing traffic tickets and less worrying about marijuana, OxyContin would never exist, and the only purple drank we’d ever know would be Nehi Grape soda….
There’s a lot I would take charge of and change. But mostly… I’d change the way I got where I’m at today. Unless it meant that I wouldn’t have my boys. If that was the case, then I wouldn’t change anything until after my youngest was born. And then I’d tickle more. Take more time off work. Drink a little less. And maybe buy a tent. I guess I wish they could’ve been adolescents when I was.

there are lots of other reasons I hate you that aren't algorithm-related.

And still being the best parent possible to your children! You are him. We do it all day long! We do it every day! We dig in the dirt! We do what we do. You are he. He is me. We are we.
Is that enough to get me an invite to your next tasting function? I’ll leave the kids with Obed if you say yes.

Every green light I miss is because some moron had a phone in there face.

Is that guy driving in 2 lanes… phone in face! Stopped in the middle of the intersection… phone in face! Missed that red light… phone in the face! It’s not a boogeyman!!! GET THE #### OFF OF THE PHONE!
Everybody thinks they are immune to the stupidity. They are not. I’m pretty sure there was a myth busters about this ######## or something like it years ago. I can’t remember, because I didn’t think people would ever be stupid enough to think they could watch videos, read text, or look at anything other than the ####### road while they drive their automobiles. Yet here we are! Idiots looking at everything but the road.

Is everyone has paintball guns and shoots paint at cars driving like djickweeds. That would alert the rest of us to stay away from cars covered in paint, and when you see paint all over the back of a car in the left you know to get over and get around them because they don’t understand how courtesy and teamwork work.
