ASSHOLES BEHIND THE WHEEL
There are people who think they live in a video game with infinite lives. I say people, but they're nothing but a bunch of huge assholes. They're just big sacks of shit who put the lives of dozens of people at risk every time they get behind the wheel.
I saw a video on Reddit where a driver goes out at night to burn rubber around the city, comes across a cop car, does a donut around them, and then, just for kicks, decides to lead them on a chase, putting the lives of many people in danger.
On Reddit, they talk about "squeezebenz," who claims to be the most wanted man in New York by the cops and boasts about having outrun a police helicopter twice.
The encounter with the police car happens at the 2-minute mark.
In another video, you can see him in broad daylight weaving through traffic like it's a scene from Need for Speed.
But this always ends the way it ends; causing an accident with more or less injured or dead. The sad part is, they almost always walk away unharmed.
- We're running late, not now.
- Come on, just a little while.
- No, I still have to get dressed and put on makeup.
- Come on, just a bit.
- I said no.
(Persistence pays off)
GENERATIONAL CLASHThe generational clash has always existed, but today it’s stronger than ever. In the past, cultural, technological, and social changes moved at a much slower pace. A grandfather and his grandson could share customs, values, and even lifestyles that were fairly similar. Sure, there were differences, but societal evolution didn’t completely break the bond between generations.
Now, however, the speed of change is overwhelming. What a great-grandfather experienced in his youth and what his great-grandchild lives through today are worlds apart. A great-grandfather might have grown up without electricity at home, without television, without access to mass education, without the internet, without globalization. Meanwhile, his grandchild or great-grandchild lives in a hyperconnected world, where technology evolves every few years, culture shifts constantly, and communication methods are entirely different.
This gap creates divides that didn’t exist with such intensity before. The difference isn’t just about tastes or values but about how we understand the world. A teenager today doesn’t just have a different way of speaking, consuming content, or interacting with society; they also grow up with a set of values and experiences that might seem completely foreign or even incomprehensible to a grandparent.
In the past, a grandfather could teach his grandson the same skills and life lessons that he himself had learned. Today, many grandparents feel lost because modern life bears no resemblance to what they once knew. On the other hand, younger generations feel that their elders can’t fully grasp their reality because they didn’t grow up in a world like theirs.
The result is that the generational clash has become a deeper divide than ever before. It’s not just a matter of age—it’s a matter of worlds moving at entirely different speeds.
