Excellent stuff from SV.

before dinner + several drinks tonight, I heard this argument, to my shock, on FOX a couple times.

In a poll between Trump and having a nail driven through my penis, I'd probably choose the latter inasmuch as I'm more confident of my penis's ability to heal from that trauma than I am in America's

i admire this. shamefully, i think i would choose trump in that instance, even if doing so would make him president.

it would be interesting to market a coffee shop on the basis of the honesty of its clientele

I guess those jokes would make more sense if I knew what turn signals are...

actual lol

amazing

excuse me but how do they signal a turn in (whichever Scandinavian country tuomas is from)

lane changes are forbidden there since the incident of aught four

btw there is a dedicated tuomas pvmic thread

I know what those things are now, since it was explained in the thread. And we have them here too, it's just that I don't know anything about cars, so I wasn't sure at first what that term was referring to.

I didn't know that indicators are called turn signals in the US either

indicators is a more elegant name for them

oh ffs

I prefer "clicky blinky things"

they're kind of a sore subject with me because i dated someone who would get annoyed that i overused them. like, pulling out of the driveway i put them on out of habit even though no one could possibly be behind me.

you should have adopted a genuinely irritating and very out of character habit, like chain smoking with the car windows rolled up

btw TS's previous post is vvmic

"Blink's very strange!"

how could someone get annoyed with 'overuse', are you expected to check all around in case there's no-one there or no pedestrian about to come round the corner before you use them? No, you make it a fucking habit and do it all the time so people don't have to second-guess what idiotic drivers are doing grrr grr non-use of indicators is one of my biggest pet peeves

otm and idiot drivers who signal one way and then go the other. that must be some kind of dyslexia right bc it's not that hard to remember which way to flick the fucking thing

yeah that was my thinking, kinder.

when you think no ones there is exactly the time blinkers are most valuable

i am moved by the outpouring of support

Moved in which direction? It's sad we'll never know

Was gonna ask how/why you signal exiting a driveway but realized you're probably one of those AAA backer-upper commando savages

of course you signal leaving the driveway. most driveways give you at least two exit options, so you signal to let people know what you intend to do. even if you only had one choice, you'd still signal, to distinguish yourself from someone just sitting in a car waiting for life to happen. plus kinder otm. you signal no matter what cuz it's an excellent habit for a driving person to have. harrumph for emphasis. boy this really steams me up.

i was always taught to call 'em "clickers" as in "okay, put your clicker on"

how is using a turn signal to indicate that you're backing up "letting people know whar you intend to do"? i have just never seen anybody do this, sorry

they're turn signals, not "i'm doing something" signals. go ahead, sb away

what sort of driveway doesn't require a turn when backing out?

the driveway in question isn't one where you back out. you drive out front first.

i just don't know who you're signaling to. if it's a car that's going to be right behind you, i don't know what information signaling is supposed to convey. if it's cars/people behind you, a turn signal is not conveying any information to them about your backing up. information!!

xp ok fine, you're cool, we're done here

that was the point. it wasn't necessay; just out of habit. that's why the person in question would gently chide me about it.
