I thought buses just stop at a station, you have to signal to the driver to stop? I've never ridden a bus before, so at least that's my main reason, but if I got on and didn't see a button or anything, I'd probably make that mistake

Yeah, but that saying is absolutely brain dead, because if you take it literally it states anyone that has ever missed their exit is a good driver, which clearly isn't true

I know Luis CK has gotten a bit problematic for other reasons, but I always liked his take on this in particular.

Apologies as I couldn't find an original video, just this weird channel animating the original audio. But every time my wife and I are in a car and see someone cross multiple lanes to get to an exit they almost missed we look at each other and say "but that's their FAVORITE way!"

It differs regionally.

I had to rake a detour in an area that looked like a maelstrom hangout in cyberpunk 2077 because my gps didn't tell me which lanes i needed to be in when i crossed a junction.

that's so wild. is it too personal to ask what country you're in?

Still better this than to be the person who weaves across three lanes of traffic to go after their exit, or who sees the exit lane diverging and chooses... Neither, then they just stop there.

I see this all the time on the road and I just don't get it. People would rather tailgate me for miles than change lanes and go around. Someone please explain why people are like this.

Meanwhile I'm changing lanes the the very moment I see a car going slower in front of me. One thing I absolutely hate is having to turn off the cruise control once it's on, and I use it everywhere, even on city streets (I drive a sports car so it's easy to accidentally speed if I don't).

Edit: I don't understand these downvotes. What's wrong with using the passing lane to pass? Why am I the asshole because someone is afraid to change lanes? I already drive 15 MPH over the speed limit, and always stick to the right when I'm not passing (even though no one else in my city does this). So if you're tailgating when I'm already doing my best to be more courteous than the average person in the road, that makes me the dick?

Someone please explain why this comment is triggering so many people. I really don't get it.

I used to think the same before I tried driving in California (European btw) and the left lane WAS AN EXIT???

Honestly, I think what he got lambasted for was almost innocent compared to all the other #metoo stuff.

I'm pretty sure what he did was, at the time, under the guise of a consensual sex act that the other party agreed to. Now of course there is a power imbalance and he admitted as much (His statement is here) but I found it pretty mild compared to all the wild shit happening and that happened.

I'll admit it's gross and he did abuse his power over those women but he owned up to it and was honest. Huge difference between jerking off with someone watching/participating and actually raping someone though and that distinction is important.

I'm American, but like I said, I've never had to ride a bus (besides HS school buses). My sister used to ride a bus to community college, only cause she was too afraid of driving originally.

Yeah Louis's situation seems pretty unique. Not on the same level as someone like Epstein or Weinstein. He didn't do anything with his own employees or underaged fans. Sarah Silverman has been a big supporter of him and confirmed that he was always like that going back to when there was not a power disparity in their early club days together. His apology statement is one of the best I've ever seen.

But... There's still some red flags, including some in just discovering as I am refreshing myself on the details now. If the 5 accusers, it looks like the first 2 were from an incident in 2002 at a festival where they escalated to to event organizers... And nothing happened. Then Rebecca Corry in 2005 on a TV show set who declined and reported the incident... And nothing happened. I can't find when the other incidents happened, but like... Surely after these first 2 cases someone would have communicated to Louis how this was bad, right?

And Dave Becky, Louis's manager at the time, sent letters to the victims threatening them to try to silence them. He later apologized and dropped Louis as a client, and Louis later publicly supported Becky and apologized to him as well. I'm not sure what to make of the whole mess, but if Becky was threatening victims that kinda feels like it should be worth some jail time, and if Louis ordered him to do so... Yikes.

Also I don't think there's an objective answer as to whether he should have retired, or how long he should have stayed out of the spotlight before returning. If I were him I probably would have just retired, but at the very least I would have spent a few years out of the spotlight. The initial article with the accusations came out in November 2017, and his next public appearance was August 2018, not even a whole year. And there was no easing in with less controversial material - he jumped into School shootings. He has since released a special called "Sorry" where he didn't apologize but instead kept getting more controversial and used the F slur.

He's also very good friends with Dave Chappelle, a certified piece of shit, and Jerry Seinfeld, famous for dating 17 year-old high school girls. And I get it- he got his break early on by opening for Seinfeld, but ya know maybe just tone down how public that friendship is given the circumstances?

I don't feel the need to break out the torches and pitchforks for Louis, or pretend like none of his earlier works ever existed, but i'm also not in some huge hurry to defend him and restore his career either.
