Yeah, I'm holding off from upgrading phones.

FACK: I have a petty, irritating driving question for you.

Very close to where I live is an intersection of a neighborhood street with a pretty major street (SE Lincoln and 39th for POR people). Where the side street meets the main street there is a sign clearly posted reading "NO TURN ON RED". Meaning you cannot turn from the neighborhood street onto the main street on a red light, regardless of traffic on the main street. Today, and many other times, I've been the first in line at the red light with my right blinker on, clearly could have turned right because the main street was clear, but it's not allowed, so I don't. BEEP BEEP. BEEEP. From the car behind me, wanting me to turn. What do you do here? Today I wanted to simply flip them off but my rear window was fogged and they wouldn't have seen it. Would anyone get out and yell if you were really heated for whatever reason? (NO ROB). Ignore it?

My city is littered with no turn on red signs where they make no sense. I ignore them.

In this case though you should gun it in reverse.

Adam Carolla would urge you to turn anyway and probably belittle you for not already following his advice, but I won't say that

It actually makes sense here because the sidestreet is a major bicycle route and the intersection is one of those weird ones where bicyclists go right to the front.

Tapatalk has redeemed itself

I've been getting a bunch of Muslim dating website ads on my tapatalk; their ad targeting seems a wee bit off.

I'm a schmuck, I pay the $.99 a month to get rid of the ads

Oh it's a month? Lol that.

Use the rear window defroster. No Rob, don't get out. In fact, don't even roll down your window to yell or flip the bird--those can be seen as instigating a fight. It's fine to flip a birdie through the sunroof though. If you don't have a sunroof, what are you doing with your life, exactly?

Really I'm just guessing since I'm never following the stupid sign.

I honk back.

I'm a liberal honker. Basically a honk a day.

Here a honk. There a honk.

Everywhere a honk honk

I pull out my strap and yell IT'S DRILL TIME

yeah i keep getting ads for mormon singles.

I'm not current on the gay slang these days...does this mean you keep it in your pants or no?

Lol at not turning because of a sign. I treat traffic signs as more of a suggestion if anything. No Turn On Red, thanks I'll take that into consideration.

"Stop", yeah, nice try ***hole now go **** yourself.

Next week: "What's the deal with cops who think traffic signs are to be taken seriously?"

Getting ready to VOTE. Early voting GOAT.

Just absentee voted today.

Concur that Twitter's biggest issue is troll/influence armies and abuse.

Twitter as a way to consume news is incredible.

Twitter is Capital I Important for mankind, as it has crowdsourced news reporting and influenced policy worldwide. There are issues with this aspect of it, but things like village rape in India awareness or ND Pipeline pressure or actual discussion of police brutality and lack of accountability in the US or corporate pushback against US States with anti-gay legislation don't happen without crowdsourcing news. Twitter drives much of the mainstream news conversation, especially things they'd rather not discuss. Again, it's not perfect but when media is controlled by so few companies with such clear agendas, it's an essential and super important app. It's the ultimate freedom of speech and check on the media and the government. Yes, the irony of saying that while noting that trolling and abuse are issues isn't lost on me. And yes, the company hasn't been well run.

ETA: Twitter completely blocked in only China, North Korea and Iran. That's all you need to know about how important and powerful it is.

One of my favorite stories from Twitter was when people protesting in St. Louis were getting tips on how to deal with pepper-spray and police control tactics from people in Palestine.
