Forgotten how to drive in the rain? Multiple cars involved in Memorial Drive crash

By adamg on Thu, 11/21/2024 - 6:05pm

The Crimson reports Memorial Drive near the BU Bridge turned into a demolition derby around 4:15 p.m., with at least one vehicle flipped on its roof. Police shut both sides of the road.

Subject matter fixations, shitposting, whining about being "censored" or "policed" all scans.

What about just making him invisible?

Using some of the same words, phrases and syntax. And some of the same fixation on topics when tossing a marginally tangential comment on a story.

When the last account appeared, I thought I noticed some similarities to a previous one, I want to say “notfromboston”. And maybe even another account before that, but that’s digging too far back in my memory.

Markkk? I don't remember the full name, I think it had a zip code at the end.

Either that, or Refugee went dadaist.

I'd agree with SwirrlyGrrl and say he's gotten banhammered thrice (Markk02128, notfromboston and Rwgfy) and they try to sign up under different names and emails to evade detection. The way they're going, banhammer #4 is nigh.

You forgot Roman.

Especially on the internet? There exist so many workarounds that bans seems senseless. I think the only way that all of us will be free of the voices that we don't like to hear/read is by the creation of an ignore button, and requiring users to login to see comments. Banning don't work. Trolls going to troll.

may help. If you can't ignore written words on your own, without a special feature, it may be time to get some psychological/emotional support.

...is the standard cavalier response of someone whose own skin has never been touched.

Dogwhistling like refugly does adds fuel to the fire that results in people getting stomped in real life.

If you can't ignore written words on your own, without a special feature, it may be time to get some psychological support.

If you can't recognize what's going on around you, you are either a child or a perpetrator. It may be time to grow a conscience, or maybe just grow the fuck up.

And have endured some of the worst of human behavior and have been stomped many times in life without a filter "feature." It's called building resilience to the nastiness in the world - including nasty childlike presumptions you just made about someone you know nothing about. But I'll be just fine despite your mean-spirited nature. If you need an ignore button to hide from things you don't like on a PC screen, what happens when you're faced with the asteroid storm of offensiveness that is the real world?

Boy, I've faced "the asteroid storm of offensiveness that is the real world" my entire life. If I can opt out of some of it? Hurray for me. You have nothing to teach me.

By eddie on Fri, 11/22/2024 - 12:52pm.

I made a comment unrelated to you. It's not all about you. But I agree that you should probably use an ignore button if you can't read something you disagree with without having a hissy fit and being nasty.

By Cleary Squared on Fri, 11/22/2024 - 5:42am.

Eight car accident, car flipped over, some injuries, and you come up with a mocking LOL?

This is the day where I say Kinopio, who hates cars, pitbulls, police and other things with the intensity of a million suns, seems downright and completely rational when they come on, post their usual screed, and then leave. And they have every right to do it, despite me not agreeing with most of it.

This bot is a sociopathic twerp. That is all.

Makes zero sense, but you do you.

  • DeAngelis wrote that four vehicles were involved in the crash, “one of which rolled over.” He did not comment on the medical status of any of the individuals involved in the crash.

    This rain today was extra slippery.

    ...because of ... Science. The most slippery road conditions, other than snow and ice, often occur when it first starts to rain after a prolonged dry spell.

    That's because the road has lots and lots of microscopic tire particles and other oil-rich detritus packed down on and just below the pavement. And oil is lighter than water. So when the rain begins, the oils rise to the pavement surface, and it can be exceptionally slippery. After a few minutes, depending on how hard the rain is falling, the oils on the surface gets washed away and the road is just a regular wet road.
