So yesterday I'm walking up a commercial street here (on the sidewalk, of course), about to cross an intersection. The light goes my way and I get the walk signal. I start to go out into the street pushing my little boy in a stroller when suddenly I notice Like most So then If you're waiting for the part where you'll be proud of me - here it is: While I really, really, really wanted to say 'maybe shouldn't have run the red light, asshole'. I actually held my tongue! Pretty cool of me, huh? |

You make me sad, jon. ![]() I freaking hate guys like that. Don't get me wrong, I don't at all follow the rules of the road on my bike, but here's the cardinal rule I do follow: I do whatever's going to make everyone else around me the most comfortable. If I'm trying to go straight through a T intersection, for example, and the road intersecting to my left has a car that's inching up, trying to get into traffic, I'll swerve and go behind him, so that he doesn't have to wait on me to get onto the road. Stuff like that. I've found that by far the safest thing for everybody is for me to not disrupt the flow of traffic, whatever that may be. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |
