I remember Craig’s face from the PBS commercials/postcredits for Dinosaur Train. Years passed, then I was force feeding my kids Hey Arnold! and saw Craig Bartlett in the credits. Had to look him up and was happy to see it’s the same guy.
Have you played the Cliff Hangers music to those children, because if so I love you.
I never knew wild animal mass vaccination was practiced. My mind blown today.

Didn’t anyone tell you not to hassle the Hoff9000?

I am behind the times on some abbreviations. And dense.
What is AD in this context?
This sounds like you encountered an actual road troll, but it could’ve been one of those things akin to 2 people trying to speak at the same time, where it takes 2+ attempts before they figure out who’ll talk and who’ll listen.
The matching of your speed during your pass attempt seems like the primary offense.
The only justification I can concoct is if your passing attempt made the driver realize they were going slow enough to make people wanna pass, and they chose a stupid and inconsiderate time to accelerate. But that possibility is undermined by their subsequent braking. Maybe the braking could’ve been reflexive as they watched you and oncoming traffic approach bumpers, but that’s a second unlikely thing that’d have to be true to shed a troll label.
I knew a guy who was that kind of troll. Riding in the car with him, he’d mutter “don’t pass me” and would go faster purely to avoid being passed. So I know those trolls exist.
You say it was 5-10 seconds before oncoming traffic would arrive. That feels close to me. 5 seconds is too close to be passing in my opinion. 10 seconds sounds safe.
Having not been there myself, I’m can’t feel certain either way. But kudos to you for considering that you might be wrong. Just that fact portrays you as attempting to do right, and lends credibility to the trolliness of the other driver.
It’s a game, you’ve been played
It’s the fox, you’re the sheep
It’s a pied piper song
That has lulled you to sleep
It’s a lie and you fell for it
Hook, line, and sinker
A hand that you shook
That then gave you the Finger
A fraud and a fake
A cowardly king
A LIE to your FACE
But you STILL KISS THE RING
This is the Breakdown!

Does Rise Against count?
I am not a good gatekeeper of “mainstream” or “sellout” etc but this feels like a hostile thread so I guess criticism is incoming.
I feel like the entirety of RA’s discography fits this theme perfectly. The songwriting is part of why I can’t get enough.
(I can’t speak for their recent Ricochet album - the sound quality is poor and lots of fans hate it; we hope we get a rerecording some day. Set aside Ricochet and I feel like you can’t go wrong with anything else of theirs.)
Trying to list deeper cuts that might be good hooks:
Album / Song:
The Black Market / Bridges
The Black Market / People Live Here
Endgame / Disparity by Design
Endgame / Midnight Hands
Endgame / A Gentleman’s Coup
Nowhere Generation / The Numbers
Nowhere Generation / Sudden Urge
EP Nowhere Generation II / Holding Patterns
Wolves / Welcome to the Breakdown
Appeal to Reason / Entertainment
EP / Megaphone
And you can’t go wrong with the back to back tracks “Prayer of the Refugee” followed by “Drones” from the album The Sufferer and the Witness.
Even older albums have good stuff but I didn’t list them since idk if you’d call them “modern”. Tip the Scales + Give It All are good tracks.
Nah man, they’re all going to heaven.

I can’t meet whatever threshold of proof, but there’s no way “Driving any slower than the speed limit is just as dangerous” ISN’T what the raging lunatics on the road tell themselves when weaving thru traffic before they comment the same thing on posts like these.
It’s such a common brain blind spot. Videos of lunatics flipping their own cars trying to pass someone will have comments blaming the other car.
Thank you for your shirts
It’s tough for me to imagine having a talk about sex toys with any of my differently-sexed kids in the future.
However, on the topic of safe use I have seen too many videos of surgeons removing a football-sized orc dildo from someone’s ass. I think I would find the courage to at least mention the importance of a sufficiently-flared base, especially if I’m on the hook for their medical expenses. Also, the junk caught in the metal cock rings. I’m sure there are more examples.
Search “couch riser” on Amazon for some ideas. These are intended for raising the height of a couch but could work as prosthetic legs. Might need to get creative on leveling to the right height though.
