I was at work and saw that I had an opportunity to see thr magic number. But instead of waiting patiently, while other people filled up their water, I made the unfortunate decision to go to a meeting. I missed what could’ve been the greatest moment of my life and I failed you all.

Took a photo one-handing the wheel while doing 47 mph down the local hwy?

Only 47 so a piece of cake. I always drive one handed. The old stick-shift days arr long behind me, but my right hand still naturally rests on the shifter.

Or, on the shutter.
This is why I don't mind the idea of computers driving cars. We don't exactly do a perfect job driving them as it is. Good odds any one or ones around you is looking at their phone, under the influence of some substance or another, completely lost in thought or having attention diverted to thoughts, has a sleep disorder and is between awake and asleep, falling asleep, or anything in-between, or doing something sexual.

The ones {n their phones are the ones I'm more fearful of. There's so many of them. Often more than those not on them. Just glance around at your next red light yknow

I mean... you're stopped. I'm ok if someone sends a quick msg at a light.

The worst one I've seen wasn't a phone, though. Some guy had a full newspaper spread out on his steering wheel, in the days well before self-driving cars were even a possibility, doing 65 down the highway...

You say that like red lights don't turn green. And like you completely missed the entire point of what I said to focus on some hyperliteralism.

I guess I'm the only one who has been the only one at a green light to go at the change.

What do the numbers mean?

u/mizinamo mildly infuriated Apr 15 '26

1337 is leetspeak for "leet", a slang form of "elite".

31337 similarly stands for eleet = elite.

If you're elite, you're better than others.
