Reply to comment by biskmater in TIL That the character who first said the phrase "fortune favours the bold" - Turnus, in the Aeneid, spends the rest of the story suffering military defeats before he's killed and heads to the underworld, miserable, at the end of the last book. by Equal_Caregiver_4909
In my experience, fortunes favor the connected

Reply to I've driven up and down I-5 100 times since 2014. here's some fun facts about to know by KanyeWaste69
As someone that's driven extensively in most major metros around the country... Worst drivers and most aggressive drivers in the nation. The self centered, self righteous dipshits who drive 60 in the left lane are probably the ones pissing off the aggressive ones into a homicidal rage. It's a shit combination of mental retardation that puts everyone else in danger.
The left lane is always the most congested since so many are allergic to keeping right in the pnw. Except around larger interchanges, the right lanes are always more open and easier to navigate.
That line in the left lane around federal way, I don't know if its got a name but it is just a terrible construction job from the lane expansion where the road was created at different heights exactly where you're tires go. So it constantly pulls into the lower section and the traffic beside you.
The HOV lane is the passing lane. This is the only way to get around that selfish left lane camping asshole that speeds up every time they're passable and slows down again every time they're not. Those are the fuck wits that cause all the cacading brake checks in the left lane.

Reply to comment by NergNogShneeg in I'm wondering if anyone will get what I mean when I say... There are a lot of truly psychopathic drivers on I-5 between Vancouver to Olympia. by midgethemage
Same. Lived in Philly which has notoriously crazy drivers, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago. Lived in 9 states total. Drivers in this area are the absolute worst. People are suicide/homicide aggressive. I've never seen so many accidents. I got a dash cam now.
And there are more self centered dipshits around here too. Pulling out in front of traffic. Driving slow unless they can be passed. Left lane camping.
Then the infrastructure is stupid as well. Few turning lanes, even at busy intersections. Lanes that abruptly become forced turns. No ordinances against vegetation/structures blocking line of sight at intersections. Red left arrows. Speed limits are all slower here too.
The weather doesn't even bother me. It's the people that I fucking hate here.

It's time to end this capitalist charade. All of your taxes feeds these rich fat fucks, and you get pissed on for it.
