    I was able understand it pre-coffee so it made enough sense so hopefully mine won’t be a word salad too

    TLDR a long winded version of what you said about the social contract

    But to add on, like you said tolerance is a contract that only protects the parties that follow its terms

    Example: (pick a group of your choice) “Hey _____ person, I’ll respect you if you respect me” Yay everyone’s happy we’re all chilling together even tho I’m 100% certain we have different beliefs down to the core

    But when that contract is broken apply that to the blank above, “Hey Nazi, I’ll respect you if you respect me”. They won’t hold up their end of the deal so why should I hold up mine















  • As a us citizen I can’t speak for everyone but I feel like the majority of drivers are responsible enough for it to work with only a few zooming BMWs

    Meanwhile I’d probably hold up traffic because if I feel like I can’t make a decision with 100% certainty on the road I don’t execute, better safe than sorry

    I may be over exaggerating a bit but mostly with stuff like unprotected left turn and matters that aren’t time sensitive and I have time to analyze I feel like if I have to ask myself “can I make this” and usually the answers no if I’m even asking

    It has made me look like an idiot at some blinking yellows but it’s better than being t boned

    Thank you for coming to my ramble
