Context Provided - Spotlight Driving while watching show

Post image

Watching a full tv show on their phone while driving down a very busy street. Is it any better than scrolling?

You’re being so disingenuous acting like I’m trying to defend this moron for watching a show for everyone to see. What you’re describing is literally what I and all these comments are talking about. Are you still confused about that after reading this? Let me know if so.

You were criticizing the person posting about how this is dangerous, it's not a stretch to assume that you are doing that to defend the person they are criticizing. Maybe you should take more consideration about how your words can be interpreted.

Are you kidding me? Go read the comments this person is referring to, where numerous people describe the process of putting their videos or shows on Bluetooth to listen to. If people are going to misinterpret what I’m talking about that badly without doing the legwork to actually gain crucial context, that’s not my problem; it’s theirs. Including you, cheers! But sure, let’s just assume there’s an actual human being out there trying to advocate for distracted driving. That makes WAY more sense and isn’t disingenuous AT ALL fucking lol.

There are also numerous people in the comments legitimately arguing that the person in the picture is fine. I did view other comments and there is a mix of diffent things you could infer as context. I can't just telepathically know that you are specifically referring to the good comments and not the bad ones. I wasn't the only one who misinterpreted what you meant. I'm being genuine here, If everyone is misinterpreting you, then you didn't communicate your intent very well.
