Yes, in theory, everyone should be in the middle lane at all times except when actively passing the car in front of them, and they shouldn't use the left lane as a, "fast lane." In practice, virtually everyone uses the passing lane as a fast lane, and dropping in and out of the right lane over and over again is going to create more traffic than just staying in your lane.
Sure, if someone is barely going faster than the middle lane, and there's no one in front of them, then they're being a lane hog and need to move over. But if there are multiple cars in the passing lane, all going significantly faster than the middle lane, then that's just the speed of traffic and you need to accept that. Just because the passing lane isn't passing as fast as you'd like, that doesn't mean you're justified in forcing a car to change lanes every 50 feet.
there is always someone who thinks the ideal speed limit is 10 mph faster than whatever the speed of traffic is in the left lane.
No, I very specifically called out people who want to drive faster than what the speed traffic is in the passing lane. How you think that implies going slower than the middle lane is beyond me.
If you are on any U.S. highway, there is always someone who thinks the ideal speed limit is 10 mph faster than whatever the speed of traffic is in the left lane. They will tailgate you until you change lanes to let them pass, causing everyone in the lane to the right to adjust to the change in traffic, and then repeat the process for every car in front of them, or they will attempt to pass you on the right, creating dangerous traffic situations. Best of all, this person genuinely believes that, "If everyone drove like me, there would be no traffic."
Weird, I don't remember him dissenting when the Supreme Court decided not to hear the case against Arkansas' anti-BDS law. I guess the government dictating who you're allowed to boycott isn't as big a threat to free speech as a middle-school dress code
What is it going to take before people like to join reality? A sitting member of Congress with full-blown dementia? We had that in Dianne Feinstein. A president who can't function past 6 pm or speak without a teleprompter? We had that with Biden. Democrats dropping dead in office? The Republicans have expanded their House lead this term because three Democrats dropped dead. Our country is collapsing under an incompetent gerontocracy, and you think pointing that out is bigotry? Get a fucking grip, dude.
According to the two books written about Biden's mental decline, one of the main defenses people close to the president used was, "If he drops out, you get Harris, and then we'll lose for sure." I'm sure they'll pick some low talent party loyalist who has been waiting patiently, but it seems even the party leadership never wanted it to be her turn.
I mean, it it has pupils like that, it has a wide field of vision. That's the whole point of rectangular pupils. I would assume that having front-facing eyes would also give it depth perception, but maybe it needed that for making difficult jumps or something?
Yeah, but if Vegas ever starts taking odds on when these ghouls are gonna drop dead, or which ones are going to sell us out to the crypto industry, I'm gonna make a killing.
Yeah, the cruel joke of ADHD is that you need executive functioning to do the stuff that makes it better, like remembering to take a pill at the same time every day or managing your time time well enough to go to the gym. I was only able to start exercising when I got a job with a gym in the building, and I still forgot my gym clothes a bunch or times in the first month.
Yeah, we technically didn't know that he was cognitively impaired, but 80% of Americans said they thought he was too old and couldn't handle another term. We were all listening to the guy speak and thinking, "...I'm not a doctor, but that guy seems like he's struggling."
Yeah, that's tough. I wouldn't presume to give you advice on working out, but from personal experience, I would at least advise finding something you like before you blow a lot of money on it. I wasted a lot of money on group cycling before I realized I hated that.
First of all, there have been dozens of articles about Trump's mental fitness. Second, Biden's decline was sharper and more noticeable; that's why, even though they both sounded like rambling old men during the debate, Biden came off worse. Finally, Trump's mental fitness is usually people's third concern behind his authoritarianism and corruption. Anyway, now that we've addressed that, it would be great if you could give a shit that Democratic party insiders hid the President's cognitive decline from the country.
Oof, that's brutal. Are you cleared for physical activity? Working out is the only thing that helps me with my symptoms besides meds (and even then, they work better together than alone).
This isn't, "drama around Bidens declining health," it's another symptom of a sickness within the Democratic party. Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to retire when Obama was in office, so her death gave Donald Trump another Supreme Court nomination. Dianne Feinstein would not leave office despite having severe dementia, and instead died during her term. Jerry Connolly was made Democratic Chair of the House Oversight Committee despite being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He died yesterday, made him the third House Democrat to die in the last 2 months.
The Democratic Party is led by geriatrics who refuse to relinquish power even as they drop dead in office. We should drag every single person who knew about Biden's failing mental state into the light and make sure they never work in politics again. We should demand to know if his cancer diagnosis was known before the election, and if not, why he didn't receive a cancer screening for over a decade. We need accountability for the people who allowed the party to reach this state. And before 2026, we need to go to every single House and Senate Democrat over the age of 65 and say, "Thank you for your service, but you're retiring now. Would you like to endorse anyone for your seat?"
We didn’t know of any obvious major health issues with Biden. He had a shit debate and everyone suddenly acts like they knew something was wrong other than just getting old, being propped up on cold meds or whatever the official excuse was. Prostate cancer doesn’t cause these symptoms.
Sure, no one would have known about the prostate cancer, but plenty of people had been questioning Biden's mental fitness since 2020, and they were called ageist by pundits. Stewart himself was accused of aiding Trump for running a segment on Biden's strange mental gaffes just weeks before the debate. If people like Tapper had been doing their jobs instead of deferring to the administration, we would have had answers, not questions.
Agreed, bur let's forget about her, and Dianne Feinstein, and Biden. Let's ignore everything that happened before the inauguration and pretend we're starting with a fresh slate. He's the third House Democrat to drop dead since January. In five months, three Democrats have been assassinated by time.
So, I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like he's showing early symptoms, he only has a 15% or living more than 5 years, and he's more likely than not to die within the next year...I'm not trying to be cruel to the guy; cancer sucks and it's awful he's going through this. But given how narrow the Republican lead is in the House, it's irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes.
Yeah, nicotine too. Pretty much any stimulant. ADHD is thought to be caused by low dopamine, and exercise is thought to alleviate symptoms by producing dopamine. I know doctors reccomend strength training and aerobic exercises like running or swimming, but I don't know how hiking stacks up. If it's strenuous enough that you feel tired by the end, I'm sure it's helping.
Anyway, everyone's different. For me, if I don't run at least a 5K 3 times a week, my symptoms are terrible, but strength training doesn't seem to help much.
Yes. All stimulants treat the symptoms of ADHD. You were self-medicating that whole time, although your results were way worse than you would get with a controlled dosage of a time-release stimulant like Adderall. If you don't want to go back to stimulants, even under a medical setting, regular exercise will help regulate your symptoms (I personally like 30 to 40 minutes of cardio 3 to 4 times a week).
