I’m in my 40s and it feels impossible at this point. I’m lucky enough to have found a SO that I feel safe to open up with, but I just physically can’t, having spent most of my life packing myself into an emotional bunker. My brain overloads and shuts down, and all I am able to articulate are meaningless cop-outs like “work was stressful” or “I’m just a little tired”. My means of expression are limited to the range between indifference and anger, because the rest of the emotional spectrum was abandoned to atrophy from childhood to young adulthood.
I’m at peace with it. At this point, all I want is to do what I can–however little–to help anyone I can reach avoid the same outcome.
Is this really a privacy issue? It just looks like plain old harassment to me.

Bold of you to assume I own a house
Where do you live that nobody drives unsafely and infrastructure can just be overhauled as soon as a problem is identified? I want to move there!
I’m generally not a fan of the oversized Enter key, but this is beautiful and I’d use the hell out of it
Wait how do I use the cat filter
Apparently even things that start out shitty are susceptible to enshittification
Looks like Target to me.
What can I say, I love tubers
I stared in bewilderment at this image for a good three minutes because my brain initially interpreted the angles backwards (as if the photo was looking down at the vent rather than up), resulting in an optical illusion that your house has some really odd geometry.

I think I probably agree with your assessment, but I really just wanted to highlight that this thinking is endemic to western culture, or at least the slice of it with which I am familiar. Sure, a lot of people might not say things like this face-to-face, but you probably wouldn’t be shocked if you witnessed it, would you?
Just like with any other harmful idea, all it takes is one person in a room to say it loudly and persistently while everyone else says nothing (or fecklessly points out the person’s gender as if dispensing some profound insight).
A big part of the nuance you mention is that Keating was not only defending McBride, but also defending the dignity (what little there may be) of the US legislative body, and fulfilling his role as a publicly elected representative to advocate for the interests of the people he represents.
Also, while I do believe Keating deserves way more public attention and praise for this than I have seen, I would not say that he went “above and beyond” by defending McBride. He did what should have been done by anyone in his position.
I would also assume this, if I hadn’t also repeatedly witnessed the exact behaviour the OP describes. The “instant honk on green” drivers also tend to follow up with whatever reckless maneuver allows them to beat you to the next red light by 1.5 seconds. Inattentiveness and impatience are both dangerous on the road.
