My first instinct is always to concede to other people (even when I technically have right-of-way)

Imo, you should almost always take the right-of-way if you have it. Politeness be damned, the safety of yourself, your passengers, and the other people on the road ought to be the highest priority. And the safest thing you can do on the road is be predictable, which means taking the right-of-way when you have it.

Yeah, I know. It's just that every time I arrive at an intersection slightly before the other person I'm doubting whether I was really there first and/or if the other person recognizes that. That and a bunch of other situations where I'm trying to process things and it feels safer to just wait (even if it isn't actually).

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
