    You know what goes great with volatile flammable vapors? Distractions!

    I hope whoever invented that shit stomps on a rake and the rake somehow goes up their ass.

      One of my favoirte “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me” contradictions in modern life is a 50 foot by 10 foot billboard next to the high way screaming “don’t look at your phone pay attention to the road!” On a road lined with brightly colored bullboards. Hell, some are giant animated screens now.

      Everything about cars is treated with this insane level of ease and casualness that nothing else with their level of danger gets, I guess simply because they’re for common civilian use?

      Forklift drivers are held to a much higher standard than car drivers, despite forklifts being much less dangerous
