Pedestrian Deaths Spike in U.S. as Reckless Driving Surges - NYTIMES

[Seoul Gleou]

i like to revisit this video every year. it reminds me that humans are not that different from these guys. look at how he's smiling scrolling through IG. he's even liking videos with other chimps

are humans really so different? ive seen people pull their pants down in the middle of a store and shyt. ive seen people get out of a speeding vehicle to jump on top of it, people rape, karens scream like chimps when they want a manager, etc...

at the end of the day, 2020 proved we are all just hairless apes too stupid to appreciate what the smartest and most well meaning of us can do, and what we can do collectively

maybe i shouldve put this in locker room thoughts. fukk it im already here

A while back an older white dude cautioned me to be careful when crossing the street. Like who doesn’t know that. So I’m thinking here we go with white folks providing unsolicited advice. But when I saw him again, he cautioned me yet again. This time he was very distraught. He’s like dude these people are reckless. They will run u over.

so in my head I’m like, I’m already careful. But I’m gonna have to be more alert cause it seems dude has seen some sh1t.

long story, since that time I’ve read news reports of people getting hit. And I saw a few incidents almost happened in front of me.

Like when it’s ur right of way to cross, u expect cars to stop. But the reality is u don’t know who is behind the wheel. Some are under the influence of some very powerful drugs, maybe even drunk or just old and senile. U just can’t expect anyone on the road to be normal. As such keep ur eyes on all vehicles and walk fast outta their way.

I work with car accidents and accidents are up and the severity of the accidents has risen as well. You would think with all these new technologies it would help but nah. More people are drinking and driving during covid era now.

Nah society has always been fukked up

Only difference is that we have Camera phones, 24/7 News cycle, and Social Media to document everything

I used to think that too.

But North Philly crime is 90s levels. Like we didn't have camera phones then, but you still could feel the uncertainty in the air.

People are driving entitled out here.. You actually have people who believe you're supposed to go 100+ mph in the left lane because its the passing lane.. And will argue you to no end..

People are driving entitled out here.. You actually have people who believe you can sit in the passing lane and not pass cause of the "speed limit".. And will argue you to no end..

Cars are becoming unnecessarily fast and only getting faster. Doesnt pair well with how easily it is to get distracted these days driving.

Breh your grandmas 75 caddy would dust a Prius. There were more 350s on the street than there are 350s pushing Walmart carts. Its distracted drivers IMO

If people knew how to drive they would be able to maneuver through all of the idiots on the highway. Its easy as fck if you know how to do it..

I swear I read about 3 people getting run over at the same intersection in the same week in the DMV area last month. Unbelievable

One of the worst things this country did in the 21st century was be carcentric and suburban sprawl And drivers get slaps on the risk for being reckless.

What does the word "limit" mean in speed limit?

Bruh, I thought I was the only one noticing the uptick in unhinged drivers. Driving through steady traffic these days is constantly stressful because of these idiots.

I know, I would never be able to get home if I had to wait on the courtesy of the average person to get over.

True, I agree. I'm just looking from a historical perspective. Like we JUST got DNA Forensic testing in 2001. Imagine all the crimes not accounted for or all the unsolved cases in the 1900s, 1800s, 1700s, etc.
