Is that KC Green? That's exciting. Looks like a fresh new style.

Yesterday I introduced someone to Gunshow by way of the Anime Club. We were talking about creepy-ass animes about princesses so of course I mentioned Princess Robot Bubblegum and Smegma Princess. I'm part-way through a full re-read. I also need to reread Gun and HIAGB.

I hate those fake buttons so much. And love them when they are actually active.

[–] ___@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

I'm a fan of referring to them as beg buttons, a term that I was introduced to through Not Just Bikes on YouTube

i dont care if they work, I'll always jaywalk and when I'm on the other side if it works I press the button and go about my way so I slow down the next traffic for fun

Where I live, pedestrians are always right. Doesn't make me jump in traffic (because if you don't want to die, you have to wait) but it's a good thing IMO. Jaywalking? Get rid of that lunacy ffs.

I don't straight jump into traffic I just make calculated risks and then jump. the only times I've been near-run over was when I was waiting and normally walking, the asshole just didn't stop I was pushed by his hood. then another time while skateboarding a car was undecided while parking and decided to randomly reverse on the sidewalk I was skating on

The "No" on the sign is for the cars to stop not the pedestrian.

Is it? He keeps clicking the button as if he’s waiting four something to change (like turn the light red)

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

But... the light is in black and white.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

Obviously the pedestrian fault for not waiting an extra6 minutes to get to the other side.

I'm Illinois is the driver's fault.
