Well you're at a college. If you want people to follow rules, be more specific, or don't get pissed when they follow the stated rules but you feel like the rules should include something else.
If the concern is liability, then don't just say "don't skateboard" and get mad when people bike through the area. You said no skateboards. This is not a skateboard. Rules=followed.
If anyone feels like chirping in with "you know what they meant" that really doesn't matter. Not to me, not to people who don't understand that sort of thing, not to courts.
Besides, I feel like clarity is some thing you should strive for at a facility for higher education.
I lived within view of one so every time I heard a mildly distant crashing sound, it was almost always someone fucking up at the roundabout. Quite a few Dukes of Hazzard wannabes were completely sober, but "didn't know the area and were speeding". In case you're wondering, it's well lit, you have ample warning with both reduced speed and the big circling arrow signs, and it's even at the end of long straight hits so you have a clear view of what's coming. So as far as I'm concerned, there's no excuse.
I've never heard more bitching and moaning about communism than when the city first started considering putting "those damn communist euro things instead of a proper stop sign"
Like damn Bro I didn't realize people could hate efficient traffic flow so much.
In almost every case, it's because the entity that owns it doesn't actually have to use it daily, because then you know they'd fight to get whatever safety measures they can cram into it.
Last city I lived in had a new intersection put in with a 2 way stop (only one of the roads stops, and you have to yield to main road traffic)
After tons of minor accidents and altercations arising from disgruntled people having to swerve or slam on brakes, the city out out a statement saying basically they've done studies and it's safer than other intersections so nothing will be done to it.
Two or three years go by and one of the city council people moved and now has to use that intersection.
Within a month it had stoplights installed without a word.
Could be a coincidence. Maybe they even had been planning that for the entire two or three years.
But I personally believe nobody gave a shit until an "important" person (you know, that high-stake, much coveted small town council seat) had to use the intersection.
I made about $3,000 more last year than the year before, so now I have a little under 30 days to use literally all the healthcare related things I can before I lose government insurance.
My yearly medical costs are higher than $3,000 but not enough to justify getting insurance.
So now I get to lose money because I made more money, Unlike all those fuckwads who blather on about how they're paying more in taxes now than their raise was...
I have exactly 0 accessories, paraphernalia, or otherwise branded items in my possession that indicate that.
I feel fairly confident that most people here are aware of how childish, arrogant, and honestly just downright insufferable Rick and morty "fans" can be.
nuggy sauce reeeeeeeeeeeeee screeches in the background*
It seems like every time it comes up in conversation, and the other person is a fan, they immediately seem to launch into a tirade about how modern shows are all crap because they're stupid, not like THIS show. It's like the "you have to have a high IQ" meme just became the unironic norm for a lot of people.
It's usually fart jokes and lowest common denominator humor dressed up in Sci fi tropes. You aren't special for understanding highschool introductory phycisal science.
Futurama is arguably the same kind of show, but they know exactly what they are, and the writers actually have well educated backgrounds to make the science stuff a bit less... "VX nozzle on the turboencabulator"-esque
I'll 100% grab a rifle to help defend my neck of the woods, but no way in hell am I supporting an offensive war.
Never Again Volunteer Yourself, but in a defensive war it's no longer capitalism and the military industrial complex you're "defending", it's your neighbors.
It's funny you say that, because I turned a good bit of my right side into what looked like hamburger by flipping my bike on a pothole.
There's a running joke (probably in every state, but I've mostly heard it in relation to Ohio) that the state flower is a traffic cone, and the state tree are the big orange barrels. Brand new roads get ripped up every winter because plows and road salt aren't good for... Well, anything except cars. And they're not even goor for cars long term.
Actually, I was assuming more people have heard the joke "more astronauts have come from Ohio because they're fleeing the state" more than assuming "this person is American"
But yeah, Ohio. People meme on it being boring and full of cow farms and corn fields for a reason.
Also occasionally our rivers catch on fire and trains get a bit tipsy.
Okay so I'm guessing here, and if my guess is right I'm just not familiar enough with bio-sciences to really be sure.
Are these neurons?
And is the joke "These neurons are all over the place so it's no wonder my thoughts are too"?
Genuine question. I'm more of an engineer than biologist.
