Regarding her culture views, she doesn't realize that her side is the one promoting the rot of our culture.

OP vs. traffic laws (and Spatial Reasoning)

It seems like pretty much unanimously, everyone says the black truck who is merging is at fault.
-- "Welp, pickup truck driver shouldn't be allowed to operate a vehicle.. doesn't understand how to merge at all."
-- "Black truck without question. Legally, objectively and logically."
Make it make sense. What the fuck? The black truck was already at speed of the flowing traffic, and the truck filming was way behind it. Then it just....keeps speeding up to crash into it?
-- "Pickup. It's the merging vehicle's responsibility to either pick up speed and merge, or slow down to let them by before merging. How is this even a question?"
The black truck had already picked up speed, was ahead of the traffic on the highway, and went to merge. Just look at the first frame of the video, it is several CAR LENGTHS ahead of the truck filming, at highway speed. Then the filming truck (which would have seen the black one way before we see it in the video) just willingly closes that gap and crashes into it.
What the fuck? How is everyone saying this is the black truck's fault?

If anyone Sean deserves the same goodwill you extend towards to OW teams. If someone's going to have the gall to argue that Overwatch is the most mismanaged game in history, I'm going to disagree and point out plenty of contrary examples, namely the game that started out as a literal lie.
I take nothing from Murray from turning the ship around, but I mean, so did Keller and clearly most people throwing in their two cents don't care because we keep talking about things that aren't even relevant to the state of Overwatch as it exists if you load the game up right now.
If people are going to keep crying about PvE or just drone on about how much fun they had with the game back in 2017 without any further analysis on how the industry or even they as human beings have grown in the eight years since (like, I hope these grown-ass adults have changed to some degree in eight years), then I see NMS as fair game strictly as a comparison for the sake of the argument.

Yeah, that confused me until I realized she's using 'colonized people' as like a descriptive collective noun. Like going around town, flipping her chin up and going "Wassup, my Colonized Brethren". "Holla back, my Colonized People." *weird stares*

Overwatch 2 has to be renamed Overwatch because we’re all adults now.
If you don’t think about it all, this argument really starts to make some sense!
The No Man's Sky comparisons make sense too. After all, that's a game that's been massively updated to have what people wanted from it. While Blizzard completely cancelled the PvE and is walking back nearly every other reason they claimed justified the "2" and dumping the original.

Wasn’t Overwatch the salvaged version of Titan MMO? And that Overwatch 2 wanted to be Titan lite initially?
Kind of proves the game was never as cohesive as she tries to allude. It just telling that the first thing that comes of her mind with the word “mismanagement” is NMS rather than Duke Nukem Forever or The Last Guardian. Almost like alluding to a Overwatch redemption arc  (that will never came).

Looks like they picked their speed based on the semi in the right lane but didn't keep an eye on the lane they were merging into. Reminder that the semi was NOT just going a constant speed.
At the beginning of the video the semi is accelerating, when it should already long be clear that the pickup is aiming for that gap. It's entirely plausible that the pickup was actually matching what the recording semi's speed was a few seconds earlier, and the earlier part of the recording was deliberately excluded.
Everyone saying it's 100% the pickup driver's fault is crazy. It's like there's some kind of "don't dare make me slow me ever" mind virus going around making people drive like absolute assholes. It's not 0% either of course. I'd even buy that it's over 50% if we give the semi the benefit of the doubt over what may have happened before the start of the video. But saying that the semi driver is 0% responsible is insane.
Everyone on the road has a responsibility to take reasonable measures to avoid collisions. Someone violating right-of-way doesn't make it okay to just stubbornly crash into them. Even if someone runs a red light in front of you, you still have some amount of responsibility to not deliberately make it worse.
The semi driver makes NO attempt to slow down, even with ample time to do so. I'm not saying he should slam on his brakes, but he didn't even take his foot off the gas. Given the choice to slow down slightly or cause an accident, he chose to cause an accident, and that's not okay.

Given the choice to slow down slightly or cause an accident, he chose to cause an accident, and that's not okay. The person entering the highway is supposed to regulate their speed to enter safely, those on the highway are supposed to maintain speed. Constantly changing speed on the highway is a driving hazard. Slowing down is not necessarily safer, it depends on traffic conditions. On the highway, constant speed is the safest thing for everyone, the problem is that humans don't maintain constant speed.
Stopping in the onramp, if necessary, is incredibly safer than expecting drivers on the highway to stop for you.
We also don't see what's behind the semi. Semi drivers have the best available awareness on the road and maintain constant speed the most. It's not reasonable to assume he could have slowed down significantly versus properly regulating speed within the traffic. Even if the Navitron isn't working.

No, shutting the fuck up is free.
edit: Also, the dudes trying to turn a physics problem into some kind of moral and social problem. Another thing that happens all the time on there.
So many threads on there are like this:
"Just end capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy and return the stolen money and all the land to Black and Indigenous people and nobody will have to worry about having their money safe as they won't need money to live a dignified life. Simple as."
"Why is everybody in this problem a wealthy white cishet male? Haven't we coddled them enough? Can't we focus on other people's problems for a change?"
"The teddy bear money storing community is very hostile to wlw and it's activating my years of trauma at the hands of chuds like Jude."
It was simple, then you made it stupid and about some shit you're on about.
