If you nearly ended up in her back seat because she had to make an emergency stop your tailgating.
I mean maybe American driving laws and norms are different but there we go. You're supposed to leave a distance between yourself and the other vehicles such that you can stop safely

Well it's kinda obviously a AI cartoon avatar.... I mean....if you needed to check

Might be different in the USA but in Ireland an amber means stop, unless it is unsafe to do so. And if your tailgating somebody then you're the one making it unsafe.

My 7-year-old Tiguan has an automatic sensor that dims the head beam when it's detects and oncoming vehicle light. I would have assumed that was normal everywhere?

Thankfully I live in a civilized country. Thankfully my child never had to worry about any of these issues.

Brian Lucey @brianmlucey.bsky.social · 14h

Blame the parents. Presumably even in America they are literate. They made a decision to expose their child to deadly danger. Poor kid, stupid parents

The poor bastards? They decided to ride into THEIR NATIONS CAPITAL like an invasion. Nah dog.

Brian Lucey @brianmlucey.bsky.social · 14h

They could always just not go.
They knew what they were doing, the knew why they were going there, they decided to go. I don't have any sympathy here

I give you the beef rib at Sanders BBQ in Berverly, Illinois. Diet coke for scale.🤤

I'm finding it hard to muster sympathy for the national guard members shot in DC.
They knew they had no reason to be there, they knew that being there was empowering a wannabee tyrant, they knew they were on the wrong side of history. Nuremberg defences incoming I'm sure
Am I wrong here?

Is today American Christmas when they celebrate a group of illegal immigrant military aged male religious fanatics starting a process of genocidal colonization?

Good. The old voters who voted for brexit deserve every piece of their miserable existence to be miserable

This man was the worst minister, in the worst cabinet, of the worst government, in the most useless parliament that this country has ever seen. The fact that he even thought that he would run for president.... Dustin the Turkey wins every time

If Donald Trump were a worshipper of a chaos God in Warhammer 40k, as he seems to be cosplaying it recently, whom?
* Dark King , apotheosis of the emperor?
* Tzeentch, God of tricksy?
* Nurgle, plague god?
* Khorne, God of war?
* Slaneesh, God of excess?
* Chaos undivided??

Brian Lucey @brianmlucey.bsky.social · 1d

You'll have magiots sucking smokestacks to own the libs

Brian Lucey @brianmlucey.bsky.social · 1d

Which chaos God would DT worship? Not khorne, he's too cowardly. Nurgle? Probably Slaneesh and Tzeentch would be 50-50

The golden, double-headed eagle is the Imperial Aquila, the official sign of the Imperium of Man; bulky, golden armor with oversized pauldrons (shoulder pads). This aesthetic references to the "Auramite" armor worn by the Emperor and his Custodian Guard. Oh, and hes on an eternal throne!

Brian Lucey @brianmlucey.bsky.social · 1d

So, Trump posted this. This is, frankly, batshit insane. It is not just him as a king. It is iconography of him as the Emperor of Man from Warhammer 40k. A militarised absolute ruler, a literal godemperor, who routinely uses genocide as a political tool.

Wait.....is he dressed as an Ultramarine? A w40k space marine?

I pretty much do understand what mass extinctions are. I've been reading about ecology geology paleontology etc since I was 17. I was always a big fan of Steven J Gould. Have you read Snowball Earth?
You only see the sliver of me that is here. Don't presume
