Uncommon Opinions

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I go through these situations EVERY day. One of the highways I've been driving every day for years has speed limit signs posted that say 55. It's a two lane road with minimal passing zones and people go 40-45 all the time. It's either they are going too slow or you're going 60 and someone is still riding your back bumper. There is no in-between.

Then on the interstate this morning I'm driving behind a creeper van (the ole Chevy Astro Van) and the speed limit posted is 70. I have my cruise on 75 so I put on my signal to get over in the fast lane and pass him. As soon as his front tire is at my rear quarter panel the guy speeds back up to 80+ so I got back in the middle lane. I rolled back up on him again so I go around him again and the same thing happens. He did this 4 times before I finally got around him and merged back into the middle lane.

I never changed my speed.. cruise was set on 75 the whole time.


This is probably more of a gear grinder, but I just wanted to say I deal with it every day man.

This drives me insane, happened today in an instance that could only have been someone who enjoys messing with others. Behind someone going 40 in a 45, no biggie, I'm not a fast driver and typically keep it to about 5 over. So I move left to drive around and realize I'm not gaining any ground, look down and I'm now going 55. Weird, so slowed back down and got back in the right lane, and they slowed back to 40 again. This can only be the work of some jerk.

Happens on foot too, like at the store I'll be stuck walking behind someone slow (I'm a speed demon at the store, I want to get my **** and get out as fast as possible), and will seize an opening to go around someone and as soon as I get even with them they out of nowhere kick it up a gear and walk side by side with me at the same speed. Now I'm looking like the jerk so I slow down so we don't block the whole lane, then they slow to browse again, ugh.

People need turn signals and indicators in all facets of life so I can figure out what the hell people are doing. Make a Black Mirror episode of that

Re: Uncommon Opinions

There are definitely people (men) out there who take it as in an insult to be passed, and they will speed up to prevent it.

They are also the ones doing 80 in the slow/exit/truck lane on 3 lane freeways, because they are scared of someone passing them on the right and shaming their manhood. They are idiot children.

This is me. You pass me, I’ll catch up and spin you out or put you into the wall.

This is the only way to be. After all, second place is just first loser

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Put me down in the uncommon opinion ledger that if 10 cars are all 5 mph over the 70 mph speed limit and theres a 10 car pileup because they ran into someone 10 mph under that 70 limit , then those 10 cars are at fault. But my real uncommon opinion is that if you cause an accident while speeding you should lose your license for 3 months. Now, if you just get a speeding ticket but no accident then you just pay the ticket.

In football, celebratory helmet slaps should be banned

There's a major collision, players are slow to get up, teammates force them up, they're disoriented, players proceed to assault the head area anyway

That's friendly fire and seems totally dangerous!

I cant decide whats worse, the helmet slap or a fanny slap. This why god gave us high fives.

Slapping hands is the lowest form of male primate ritual. In fact, even some of them have moved on - they’re using sign language now.

Sonic 3/Knuckles is an incredibly underrated game. Great soundtrack, map design, abilities...best game ever on the Sega Genesis.

I'm going to disagree.

I've always been partial to Bert "Be Home" Blyleven and Mike "You're in good hands with" Alstott, but I guess that's not that uncommon an opinion.

I'll go with Oddibe "Young Again" McDowell.

Not sure if it is underrated or not. Easily the best one that I played, though I liked the end levels to Sonic 2 a lot as well as they go toward space. Now before I go on about the awesomeness of Sonic 3, Sonic 2 did have a better head-to-head race mode in playing an entire level, instead of "laps" of a small course with a level theme like Sonic 3.

In 3, I would play as Sonic and my friend would be Tails. The fact that you could play co-op levels and let Tails pick you up in flight is astounding (I don't miss my friend jumping around as Tails in what I called the "big ring" bonus levels though, heh).

Never mind the fact that the lead character you choose to play as (Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles if you had the expansion cartridge) often times had different level designs or boss battles, and if you beat the game and bonus stages you were rewarded with a Hyper Sonic perk on subsequent playthroughs.

Speaking of which, I still have to finish the Sonic game I got for PS4.


Anyway, you want an underrated SEGA Genesis game? Tiny Toon Adventures: ACME All-Stars.
