A girlfriend recently said "I'll give my man Luigi a DAY PASS," tracing her figure with her hands. Cracked me up.

And at the exact same site that birthed the meme

This sounds like you encountered an actual road troll, but it could've been one of those things akin to 2 people trying to speak at the same time, where it takes 2+ attempts before they figure out who'll talk and who'll listen.

The matching of your speed during your pass attempt seems like the primary offense.

The only justification I can concoct is if your passing attempt made the driver realize they were going slow enough to make people wanna pass, and they chose a stupid and inconsiderate time to accelerate. But that possibility is undermined by their subsequent braking. Maybe the braking could've been reflexive as they watched you and oncoming traffic approach bumpers, but that's a second unlikely thing that'd have to be true to shed a troll label.

I knew a guy who was that kind of troll. Riding in the car with him, he'd mutter "don't pass me" and would go faster purely to avoid being passed. So I know those trolls exist.

You say it was 5-10 seconds before oncoming traffic would arrive. That feels close to me. 5 seconds is too close to be passing in my opinion. 10 seconds sounds safe.

Having not been there myself, I'm can't feel certain either way. But kudos to you for considering that you might be wrong. Just that fact portrays you as attempting to do right, and lends credibility to the trolliness of the other driver.

I (M) had the same with one that worked well in all ways except for that side effect. But I was still new into getting onto an SSRI so I hadn't exhausted all the different kinds/brands yet. We moved onto a different one and we got rid of the side effect. I get that not everyone might be as fortunate though.

I enjoy that community as a non-participant. A user's decision to merely interact can reveal much more than they intended to reveal - super interesting to me. Just the existence of the community pits dudes with insecurities against their own lack of self control or social tact, for all to see.

Future me might comment there too quickly after overlooking the community name. I'll get a warranted Tsk and I'll see myself out. No big deal. It's not a kick in the nuts unless I make it one.

In public, even. 🥵

It's a game, you've been played
It's the fox, you're the sheep
It's a pied piper song
That has lulled you to sleep

It's a lie and you fell for it
Hook, line, and sinker
A hand that you shook
That then gave you the Finger

A fraud and a fake
A cowardly king
A LIE to your FACE
But you STILL KISS THE RING

This is the Breakdown!

Does Rise Against count?

I am not a good gatekeeper of "mainstream" or "sellout" etc but this feels like a hostile thread so I guess criticism is incoming.

I feel like the entirety of RA's discography fits this theme perfectly. The songwriting is part of why I can't get enough.

(I can't speak for their recent Ricochet album - the sound quality is poor and lots of fans hate it; we hope we get a rerecording some day. Set aside Ricochet and I feel like you can't go wrong with anything else of theirs.)

Trying to list deeper cuts that might be good hooks:

Album / Song:

The Black Market / Bridges
The Black Market / People Live Here
Endgame / Disparity by Design
Endgame / Midnight Hands
Endgame / A Gentleman's Coup
Nowhere Generation / The Numbers
Nowhere Generation / Sudden Urge
EP Nowhere Generation II / Holding Patterns
Wolves / Welcome to the Breakdown
Appeal to Reason / Entertainment
EP / Megaphone

And you can't go wrong with the back to back tracks "Prayer of the Refugee" followed by "Drones" from the album The Sufferer and the Witness.

Even older albums have good stuff but I didn't list them since idk if you'd call them "modern". Tip the Scales + Give It All are good tracks.

I'm still seduced from before.

What the French, toast?!

It gets easier and easier to envision the "Peewee German" moniker sticking forever.

Seconded on that Wheeling video

Maybe Garfield can be our Winnie the Pooh

FWIW I took it to be a response to OP rather than you. Perhaps they felt their comment was a continuation of yours so they replied to yours. Idk
