Well, I kind of got an answer… the C&P people called just now to schedule the appointment. Apparently it’s for just one of the things on my claim. So… yay? But still, why tf is this being done after the rating change?

…and is there going to be another C&P apt for every other issue on the claim? If yes, this is going to burn like ALL of my sick leave.

Eyes on the prize though, which I kind of already have… possibly in error.

I’m so confused.

Well it’s like they say: can’t make an omelet without murdering a few babies!

I’m with the furry on this one. Fuck tailgaters.

I’ll personally just slow down until they either get the message and back off, or get annoyed enough to pass. Or if I see a piece of debris ahead, maintain speed until the VERY last second, then swerve to avoid it - they won’t have time to react, and will run it over. I got some asshole to run full speed into a chunk of some other car’s bumper doing that, and I gotta say it was the best high I’ve ever had!

*above does not apply to slow drivers camping in the fast lane. If that’s you, you’re the asshole.

To be clear, I don’t ever break check, as that’s dangerous as fuck - I’ll just drop a mph every few seconds until they fuck off. Idk if I’d call that rage… my safety is compromised by them riding that close to me, so finding ways to get them off is a defensive move. I also don’t want to be the one to change lanes, since collisions tend to happen during transitions, so that’d just be switching from one unsafe situation to another. If I tactically annoy the other driver until they move, then it ends the risk to me without increasing the odds of hitting someone or something else… and since they’re already putting my safety at risk, I don’t really give a damn about theirs.

As for the debris situation, yeah I got nothing - that was rage, lol. But damn did it feel good! Thankfully there’s not enough shit on the road to make that a go-to option, but I’ll definitely scope the road out ahead juuust to be sure before starting the slow-down thing. Cuz, and I can’t overstate this: fuck tailgaters.

Lol, we’re still not prepared to handle the misinformation Uncle Clide types up on Facebook with his own two thumbs.

This will continue to be a dumpster fire.

…almost as much as Biden helping to fund a genocide on Gaza supports a second Trump term.

I’ll still vote for him, cuz lesser evil n’ shit, but wagging your finger at voters for drawing the line at genocide is a pretty tone-deaf move.

I’m with you. But I can’t bring myself to blame folks who feel burned out at the options of calm and composed genocide or enthusiastic chaotic genocide.

Like I said, I’m still ultimately going to vote Biden. Lesser evil is lesser. But, fuck dude… I’m so tired of this shit.

strawmen

There’s a lot of that going around. A lot of us are justifiably pissed off at the Biden admin for funneling our tax dollars into a genocide… but calling that out is just being met with a wave of “if you don’t vote Biden, you’re supporting Trump, which is even worse!” which… no shit? We can be pissed off at Biden and simultaneously still willing to vote for him over Orange Hitler Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

Fuck if I know, but we’ve at least got a pretty solid case study to work with. What should the average German have done preceding the Nazi’s rise to power?

Cuz… that’s probably what we should do.
