    I said the same thing about that firefighting plane that hit that drone. The drone was just hovering there when that idiot pilot flew a fucking plane into it.

    That’s the scary part though, I don’t get any more bugs hitting the windshield while travelling. Used to need to wash it after arriving but now they are just gone… We completely fucked up the environment

      Man, if only back when I killed those 5 pedestrians I would’ve said “the pedestrians hit me”. Now I’m going to jail. Oh well

        I have legitimately had a pedestrian hit me.

        I was stopped and my car was in park waiting for a gas pump to open up. This idiot watching TikTok’s while walking proceeds to walk straight into the side of my car, and then started yelling at me.

        I was in a parking spot too.

          When I was a kid, I ran my bike into a parked car. Of course, this was back before cars were mostly fiberglass, so it hurt me more than the car, lmao

    A deer hit my car once. And that is the right phrasing. It slammed into my moving vehicle which was moving at a 90 angle to its path. I had no choice in the matter.

    It’s good to have an alternate perspective. But this one is pretty bad. Cars and freeways are terrible. But many “bugs” aren’t so great either. Carrying diseases like malaria, destroying trees and crops. Infecting other animals. Then to anthropomorphize them and talk about their “families”, just seems like an odd analogy. Maybe one could make a similar analogy about viruses.

      Humans also carry diseases and destroy the landscape and each other. By your logic, we shouldn’t care about anyone dying, or try to empathize with anything outside of ourselves. Seems like a sad perspective, IMO.
