I’ll start:

Idaho - when people think “racism in the United States” their minds go to the Deep South. The Deep South is absolutely pretty bad, and there’s of course the whole history with the confederacy so it makes sense that’s what we think of, but Idaho is let off the hook way too much given that it’s a hotbed of Nazis and Christian nationalists trying to form a white ethnostate. Idaho needs to be more closely linked to virulent racism like the Deep South currently is. And tbh I’ve been to the Deep South, I like it down there, it’s actually pretty diverse in many areas, if I had to live there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You couldn’t pay me to set foot in Idaho.

Gen X - look, if we’re gonna do generational warfare gen x needs a lot more hate. Sorry to any xers out there but boomers have been punching bags for a while, millenials are starting to get a good amount of hate, and they’ve always been made fun of for their Harry Potter and office love, tbh a lot of millennial shit is just considered cringe these days, gen z obviously gets all the “ugh what’s wrong with the youth” hate and this new media cycle has them being portrayed as pretty much the new hitler youth. Gen x needs to start getting some more hate, especially now with all these weird gen x venture capitalists influencing the trump admin trying to realize their vision of a neo fascist network state

honkies honking their car horns

agony-shivering

Sometimes honking is necessary to get everyone off their phones so they notice the light turned green

This fits perfectly with how underhated cars are because in any type of built up enviroment at night or when there's people not in soundproofed metal cages around indiscriminately sounding off the 110dB airhorn from inside one so some idiot in another one doesn't make you wait two minutes longer because you're both in the stupidest form of transportation, is ridicolous. I'm literally walking ova heah, fuck off with the noise.

Car horns should be louder on the inside than the outside honestly.

Yeah, agitation work has left me sadder and wiser, seeing how many people drive staring straight down at their phones.

I agree that's appropriate use, but I hesitate sometimes because I've heard road rage stories that scare me.

As someone who's had a gun pointed at them in traffic, I feel you.
