    So true. Cars don't give a flying fuck anymore. The speed bump in front of my place gets a LOT of action these days

      I have a running theory that long COVID neurological symptoms are severely underestimated as a cause for maniac drivers

        I think a good chunk of it is the decay in social bonds by isolation, and also divisions created by anti-mask anti-vaccination (etc) sentiment.

        My partner and I have had multiple conversations about this specifically, as well as all the other shit that goes on in public.

          100% have had this thought as well. That and it seems like half the people on the road are not sober, at least in my city.

            Yeah I assume most people swerving around are drunk. Many people really didn’t handle the “lockdowns” very well. So many people either didn’t handle isolation well, or realized that they don’t like their spouses or kids as much when they had to be around them.
