FRIDAY RANT THREAD

NYE FUCKED UP MY SLEEP CYCLE. IF A HOLIDAY FALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, WE SHOULD HAVE THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF. AMERICANS DON'T DEMAND ENOUGH VACATION TIME. WE ARE TOO PRODUCTIVE WITH TOO LITTLE TO SHOW FOR IT. I'M TIRED.

u/ArrenPawk 2d ago edited 1d ago

ALSO SIMILAR: WHEN YOU'RE IN A TURNING LANE WITH A FLASHING YELLOW ARROW YOU CAN ENTER THE INTERSECTION TO MAKE THE TURN

THE NUMBER OF DRIVERS IN EUGENE WHO DON'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A FLASHING YELLOW DEFEATS THE ENTIRE FUCKING PURPOSE OF FLASHING YELLOWS

EDIT: APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING POINT OF CONTENTION IN OR BECAUSE THE WRITTEN LAWS ABOUT THIS ARE SO CONFUSING AND UP FOR INTERPRETATION IN MANY STATES. SO CONSIDER THIS A DOUBLE RANT ON BOTH DRIVERS AND STATE DRIVING LAWS

15

u/RightingTheShip 2d ago

THIS IS WRONG. YOU DON'T ENTER THE INTERSECTION UNTIL IT'S SAFE TO MAKE THE TURN. IF THE LIGHT TURNS WHILE YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, THE PEOPLE WITH THE GREEN NOW HAVE TO WAIT ON YOU TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION.

6

u/ArrenPawk 1d ago

YOU'RE NOT WRONG. MY ISSUE IS MOST DRIVERS I'VE EXPERIENCED HERE DON'T EVEN TAKE THE CHANCE TO TURN ON A FLASHING YELLOW, EVEN WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARS. APPARENTLY IN EUGENE THE DEFINITION OF "SAFE TO MAKE THE TURN" MEANS THERES ABSOLUTELY NO CARS WHATSOEVER ON THE ROAD

-3

u/Key_Act3502 1d ago

THIS IS WRONG. WHEN IT IS SAFE TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION YOU CAN DO SO QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY BUT YOU’LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE IF YOU DO NOT ENTER THE INTERSECTION.

WHAT A HORRIBLY WORDED BROCHURE BECAUSE IT MAKES IT UNCLEAR IF “ONLY TO MAKE THE MOVEMENT INDICATED” MEANS IMMEDIATELY OR ULTIMATELY

1

u/RottenSpinach1 1d ago

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU MUST YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A FLASHING YELLOW BEFORE YOU MAKE THE TURN. ALWAYS. AND YOU DON'T ENTER AN INTERSECTION ON A SOLID YELLOW UNLESS YOU'RE ALREADY GOING SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT SAFELY STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. EZPZ.

1

u/TinyTerryJeffords 1d ago

RATHER THAN TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY THE BROCHURE ISN’T SPECIFIC ENOUGH HERE’S A VERY CLEAR EXPLANATION FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY THAT I ASSUME IS TRUE STATE-WIDE SAYING YOU CAN’T WAIT IN THE INTERSECTION FOR YOUR OPENING. FAST FORWARD TO MINUTE 2: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v9U0LJ1r9Us&list=UUwPH_ktRyEtWLwHNwsbaN0w&index=30

u/Key_Act3502 9h ago

READ THE PART OF THE BROCHURE THAT SAYS THAT “you may cautiously enter the intersection” THERE IS NOTHING THAT SAYS YOU CANT ENTER IT UNLESS YOU ARE CLEAR TO TURN. ALSO IT SAYS THE GOAL OF FLASHING YELLOW IS EFFICIENCY.

u/liveanimals 2d ago

PLEASE. DO NOT PASSIVE AGGRESSIVELY HOVER WITHOUT A TURN SIGNAL UNTIL I LET YOU OVER. IT IS MEANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER DRIVERS. EUGENE DRIVERS ARE SO BAD.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT I CAN FEEL MY RETINAS BURNING TO CINDERS WHEN FACING DOWN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND PEOPLE STILLL CAN’T SEE PEDESTRIANS? IS THIS LIKE WHEN SMOKERS CAN’T TASTE ANYTHING, SO THEY OVERSALT THE SHIT OUT OF FOOD?

WHEN YOU’RE WEARING ALL BLACK, AT NIGHT, NO ONE CAN SEE YOU EVEN WITH BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS, UNLESS THERE’S SOMETHING REFLECTIVE OR A DIFFERENT COLOR, SO THAT THE LIGHT CAN REFLECT TO THE DRIVER’S EYES, ALLOWING US TO SEE YOUR ASS.

u/SnooCrickets2128 1d ago

BUT WHY ARE THE STREETLIGHTS NOT AS BRIGHT AS BEFORE!?! I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE EVERY-THIRD-BLOCK STREETLIGHT.

3

u/RottenSpinach1 1d ago

LED STREETLIGHTS CAN SOMETIMES APPEAR LESS BRIGHT THAN MERCURY VAPOR LAMPS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT LIGHT SPECTRUM THEY EMIT, WITH LEDS PRODUCING A MORE BLUE-WHITE LIGHT THAT IS LESS EFFICIENTLY REFLECTED BY ROAD SURFACES, LEADING TO PERCEIVED LOWER BRIGHTNESS EVEN IF THE LUMEN OUTPUT IS THE SAME; ADDITIONALLY, LED LIGHTS ARE OFTEN DESIGNED TO DIRECT LIGHT MORE PRECISELY DOWNWARDS, REDUCING LIGHT SPREAD AND POTENTIAL LIGHT POLLUTION, WHICH CAN ALSO MAKE THEM SEEM DIMMER TO THE NAKED EYE.

THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF "UNHOUSED" INDIVIDUALS... THE ONES WHO ARE JUST HAVING ROUGH TIMES BUT WILL CLIMB OUT OF THE HOLE SOON . AND THE ONES WHO ARE COMPLETE DIRT BAGS LEAVING A MESS OF TRASH AND FECES EVERYWHERE THEY GO!! I SAW THE 2 GROUPS DUKING IT OUT OVER A PILE OF TRASH LAST WEEK AND I WAS IMPRESSED AT HOW MANY HELPED CLEAN UP DUDES MESS ONCE HE LEFT TAIL TUCKED! NOT ALL HOMELESS ARE NASTY!! MOST PPL AVOID EYE CONTACT AND DEFINITELY WON'T SAY GOOD MORNING TO THEM AND THAT IS REALLY SAD! ONE DAY A GENTLEMAN STARTED CRYING WHEN I SAID GOOD MORNING TO HIM AND I WAS CONFUSED HE MUST HAVE SAW THE CONFUSION ON MY FACE AND HE SAID THAT NOBODY SAYS GOOD MORNING TO HIM ANYMORE AND INSTEAD THEY MOVE AWAY FROM HIM ON THE BUS AND IT MADE HIS DAY SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAT I SAID THAT TO HIM! JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE RUDE AND PRETEND THAT THEY DON'T EXIST CUZ THEY'RE HUMANS TOO AND IT'S GOT TO BE HORRIBLE BEING TREATED LIKE YOU HAVE RABIES.. BE NICE EVERYONE!

u/LabyrinthJunkLady 2d ago

I HAVE A HANDFUL OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW WE COULD HELP THEM IMPROVE. THEY'RE JUST IDEAS, DETAILS AND LOGISTICS WOULD STILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT. FEEL FREE TO RIP THEM APART OR ADD YOUR OWN.

CONTINUING DRIVER EDUCATION. INSTEAD OF JUST RENEWING LICENSES YEAR AFTER YEAR AUTOMATICALLY, PEOPLE COULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A BRIEF QUIZ ABOUT SOME COMMON PROBLEM AREAS AND THEN BE GIVEN THE CORRECT INFO. NO PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS, JUST A FORCED REVIEW OF THE RULES AND GUIDELINES. PEOPLE MOVE HERE FROM OUT OF STATE ALL THE TIME AND PROBABLY DON'T BOTHER TO CHECK THE WAYS OUR LAWS COULD BE DIFFERENT.

PSA'S. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS? WE'RE ALL INUNDATED WITH TONS OF BS ADS CONSTANTLY ANYWAY. WHY COULDN'T SOME OF THEM BE USEFUL? PUT THEM ON STREAMING SERVICES, SOCIAL MEDIA AND DATING APPS, AND JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED BILLBOARDS. I CAN SEE THE ONE WITH THE MERGING ZIPPER NOW.

MAKE THE CAR COMPANIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS PAY FOR ALL OF IT.

DIY PSA'S. SORT OF. MAKE SOME GOOD SIGNS OF YOUR OWN AND DISTRIBUTE THEM TO HOMELESS PEOPLE FLYING SIGNS AT HIGH TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS. IT WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING TO READ THAN THE SAME OLD "ANYTHING HELPS. GODBLESS" HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND GIVE THEM TIPS.

INSTEAD OF TICKETING OR JUST TAKING AWAY THEIR LICENSE, FORCE THE WORST OFFENDERS OUT OF THEIR CARS AND REQUIRE THEM TO SHOW UP TO A GUIDED WALKING OR BICYCLING GROUP, KIND OF LIKE COMMUNITY SERVICE EXCEPT THE GROUP IS JUST DESIGNED TO EXPOSE THEM TO HOW IT FEELS TO BE A PEDESTRIAN. SO MANY OF THE SHITTER DRIVERS HAVE NEVER HAD THAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE OF VULNERABILITY. IT GIVES YOU A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE BEHIND THE WHEEL. LIKE A RESTORATIVE JUSTICE SORT OF THING.

15

u/JustRenea 2d ago

HOW ABOUT IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSIT AND ACTUALLY MAKING IT A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVING? MOST OF THESE RANTS ARE ABOUT DRIVING. IMAGINE IF Y'ALL WEREN'T FORCED TO DO SOMETHING THAT CAUSES ANGER AND DEATH JUST TO GET FROM A TO B?!
