Reply to LPT: If while driving you tell signal for a driver to go through and they signal for you to keep driving instead, just keep driving. by [deleted]
How about just follow the give way rules so nobody has to teach anyone anything, exaggerated hand gestures or not.
You can show off your manners by following the road rules.

I hope people will think that about Musk instead of retweeting and reposting his crap non-stop

There is some truth to this. But we have a weapon we don't use which is to stop feeding into it constantly. Every mention and click feeds their little empires.

They will notice less revenue. At some point it becomes more work than it's worth. What if I told you the solution wasn't binary, that you could deplatform them in increments by ignoring them?

Reply to LPT: If you own a car in a cold climate, purchase a windshield cover + mirror covers. You'll save time and be less frustrated since you'll have less to scrape or clean off from your car by cumulus_floccus
As someone who lives somewhere where it occasionally gets to -40 in the dead of winter, this would just be more inconvenient. I've lived here my entire life and I have never heard of anyone using anything like those.
Snow removal is not an issue. Sometimes you do have to scrap ice but if you had a cover you'd be have a cover stuck to your car and still have to scrape ice. Then you'd have to store the covers somewhere. Not everyone has a garage to store the covers in. And if they did have a garage, the covers would be pointless.
Just scrape the ice for a few minutes as your car warms up. We have just learned to cope with it.

By letting haters trigger them, they are granting these haters power of them and everyone else. Views translate to ability to sell ads, which is what keeps them afloat. Ignoring them makes them irrelevant, which is their nightmare.

That is uncalled for. What’s so hard about driving the same direction you’re currently driving? What you’re saying does not make sense since obviously the driver who you first signaled to has already acknowledged you and will very unlikely hit you. I hope our cars are never close to each other.

Sometimes it can be difficult to refrain from mentioning that stuff... And I do seriously try to be unplugged from the mainstream news. Sometimes wanting to bring it up is almost like an itch or something. Don't know how else to liken it

That's like saying that you can ignore a tumor and it'll just go away.

You can be aware without feeding the frenzy.

Yes yes yes! A very misogynistic guy recently became popular online and a lot of people were using the hashtag of his name, typing his name out, and posting videos of him as they criticised him.
If someone like this guy is spreading misinformation on a topic that you’re an EXPERT in, then sure, call it out. Everyone else should hush up and ignore that this person exists. Every time his name is typed out, or a video of his is shared, his platform gets bigger and hundreds and thousands of people who otherwise wouldn’t know of him, are now ingesting his beliefs.
I get just as riled up about blatant sexism/racism/etc as much as the next person but my opinion doesn’t need to be publicly shared. Sure, I can use any platform I may have to publicly spread awareness but there’s a big difference between spreading awareness (helpful) and capitalising on a sensationalised public figure and (unhelpful).

Chances are they’re waiting for you… so chances are also there that they’re going to assume the same as you’re advising of your hand gesture and you’ll both end up smacking straight into each other head on.

Wait. So you don't want crispy fries?
....
Okay. So for starters, you should be in jail.
However, you can just throw them in the microwave for a bit less time with a glass of water next to them inside of the microwave as well.
