Speeding doesn't get you places faster, unless you're going super far or super fast.

If you gotta get somewhere 60 miles away, that takes an hour at 60mph. At 70 mph, it takes 51 minutes and 26 seconds. Hey, 9 minute time save. On an hour of driving. Assuming you never encounter anything that makes you slow down. Not a single slow car, intersection, or car merging.

The average one-way commute time in the US, according to the Census Bureau, was 27.6 minutes in 2019. If we assume that commute had no traffic(it does) and there are no intersections(there are) or anything else to slow you down, and speed limit was 30(uncommon) just to give every MPH over maximum effect on travel time, going 10 over, a full 33% faster, saves a bit under 7 minutes, which is not a 33% shorter time. If you hit one stop light, you've lost all or most of the time saved.

Tl;dr if you speed you're a fuckin moron.

1. “Well it works when I do it” is still not a good excuse to speed dangerously.

2. I have unmedicated ADHD. As you can imagine, I am often running late. If I leave late I accept I am going to be late. Why? Bc untreated ADHD raises the risk of car crashes by about 40% and I’d rather be late than dead or the cause of someone else’s death. If you cannot leave on time then your consequence is to choose between being late and attempting to be on time at the risk of endangering your and others’ lives. Choose carefully.

3. “People like you are the reason dangerous drivers get even more reckless—” Nope, sorry. Those people are fully in control of their own driving decisions. Blaming reckless drivers on people going the speed limit is stupid. Sucks that a truck driver totalled your car but that’s on them, not on safe drivers who might have made the truck driver mad.

4. Again. I have ADHD. Time management is a bitch. So is dying in an avoidable car crash. This (car crashes and other fatal accidents) is one of the reasons untreated ADHD is linked to lower life expectancy.

Yes yes don't speed but also: if you're going slow as balls, get out of the fucking passing lane.

If you tailgate me when I’m going five over the speed limit in the slow lane and there is ample room to pass me in the adjacent lane, I WILL slow down. If you tailgate me coming out of a red light as I get up to speed (and I’m not slow about it), I WILL take longer. If you tailgate me when it’s a busy time on the streets and I’m keeping up with traffic, I WILL slow down. I can see you back there moving to the edge of the lane to see if there’s someone in front of me. It will give me great pleasure to piss you off in those particular scenarios because you are acting like a child who isn’t getting their way. Fast lane and someone is going slow? That’s reasonable, and even a signal for them to move over. Slow lane? Get off my ass and get over yourself. Also, if you are going 70 on the surface streets (speed limit near me ranges from 35-45 on major roads) I hope your car catches on fire.

"Don't do this rude and dangerous thing and expect everyone else to be ok with it."

"Ah, yes, but, have you considered; I'm special and laws, both traffic and physics, don't apply to me? Check and mate!"

And then when I want adequate public transport so that I don’t have to deal with them pulling dangerous shit, they pretend I want to abolish all cars so that they don’t have to listen to me.

‘I’m pretty sure that the majority of my sexual experiences in my teens and 20’s were done out of politeness’ says Maya, 28. ‘You end up in a situation where you’re worried about offending someone if you don’t go ahead – whether you’ve led them on or what they’ll think about themselves if you back out at the last minute. And in relationships, I’ve had sex when i definitely did not want to but just kind of felt bad about not doing it – what if the other person thought that i thought they were crap in bed or didn’t fancy them anymore?’

Happy disability pride month to people whose physical disabilities were caused by someone else intentionally.

To those who survived violent hate crimes, to those who survived violent assault, to physical abuse survivors, to torture survivors, to child soldiers, to prisoners, to war and terrorism survivors, to people who were starved to the point of bone/joint/musculature and GI issues, to all who have to live every day knowing that if someone had not consciously decided to hurt them, they would not have those physical conditions.

The concept of "spyware" has disappeared from the common internet lingo after it became the case that the word could now be used to describe nearly every major website and a huge percentage of the most commonly-used software.

Once upon a time, websites & software that tracked your activities were considered borderline illegal, amoral, and certainly undesired.

Now it's a business plan.

Conservatives don't have any defense for their kids when it comes to actual groomers/rapists.

They can't criticize the church because then all their Old Testament homophobia takes a hit.

Conservatives would rather protect their homophobia than their kids.

Here’s an easy way to explain this: when I went to school in the 90s, bullies said that their victims had AIDS. I am about 90% sure that these children did not actually know what AIDS was; they just knew it was something that people were being ostracised for and that was good enough for them. Same with bigots and “groomer” accusations.
