So far, over 50 people have completed my Do You Vote survey. See the results here!

It's called confirmation bias. And, yes, there's a s**t tonne of people on the Internet (including on FB, Threads, and the miserable entity now called X) "doing their own research." We're in that glorious age where the Nut Jobs can all-too-readily find each other.

Nowhere does it say, "Speed the f**k up and lean on the horn when someone merges into a perfectly fine space at regular traffic circle speeds." You don't "own" the space in front of you. As**at.
