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

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.
