  • I do think you’re overreacting. However, failing to yield right of way is pretty serious because it demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic road rules, and that can lead to carelessness and accidents, as you’ve unfortunately just experienced.

    Do you feel like your driver’s education was adequate? You may benefit from further study of yielding, what to do at intersections, and the steps required to make a safe stop or turn. YouTube is really good for this. Then reinforce it with practice on roads with less traffic.

    It’s true that nearly every driver gets into a fender bender at some point, but driving is necessary in many places and that’s why it can be such an important skill to learn. Don’t be discouraged by an accident, but do make a point to be more attentive to who has right of way because failing to yield can be very dangerous.




  • They are heavy-handed and it comes at the expense of atmosphere and tension; a lot of their efforts come across as cheap even though there’re obvious signs of attention and care.

    I think the remake of Silent Hill 2 suffers for it. They shouldn’t be given this franchise IMO. You can see it in Layers of Fear and The Medium, and even in The Observer and Blair Witch to some extent.

    I like Bloober Team (I’ve played a ton of their games, obviously) but they just haven’t impressed me to the point of convincing me they can remake of Silent Hill properly. It’s an important franchise and they miss the mark on all of the subtleties that made the originals excellent.




  • Both are good options, it really depends on how busy you’d like to be and in what ways. I’d hazard a guess that there’s more rote memorization involved in medical school, but both are going to be very dense.

    I’d like to introduce another one though: engineering. If you like understanding how things work and you’re good at math, it could be a great career too. 4 year degree plus a few years (depends on jurisdiction, in my country it’s 5 years) of on-the-job training under a licensed engineer. There might also be EU agreements that let you practice internationally.



  • Why do you feel like not contacting someone so that you can feel better about a mistake is the same as killing someone?

    Seems like a moral justification for bothering someone (for no reason other than to assuage your guilt) and comes off entitled as hell.

    This is akin to Matthew Broderick begging for forgiveness from the victim’s family despite knowing they don’t want to give it. Stop.










  • First Nations leaders also have expressed concern about Carney’s plan, saying they fear it will side-step their land and water rights, and have asked for more clarity on how they will be involved.

    I’m extremely worried about this plan with regards to indigenous sovereignty. I’m all for a better economy, but Canada has a responsibility to meaningfully consult with indigenous communities that it normally shirks and I’m not convinced it won’t do so here due to the nature of the project (“nation building”).
