Traffic Lights

A couple of months ago I was driving down a country road and came to a traffic light. It was red. I sat there for a couple of seconds.

A thought snapped into my mind. Why am I obeying the lights, why are they in control. There is no-one here. I can see for miles, I would know if anyone is coming. So why am I sitting here, obeying the lights? Because I've been told and taught that it's the right thing to do? Or just because I always have? How many human seconds are spent sitting at empty red lights globally?

All this went through my mind in a fraction of a second. In a fraction of a second I'd noticed it, evaluated it, weighed it up and decided.

First post I've been notified for since I've subscribed with RSS. It feels nice to be one of the first to witness another one of Garry's infinite nuggets of wisdom

Like a Garry to a light, You achieved enlightenment at a red light and still waited. That's very human of you.

Noticing huh

I too wonder at times, whether or not it makes me at odds with society at large because, I have stopped at an obviously out of operation 4 way stop ligh for an inordinate amount of time. 🤔

Hey,
I just discovered this page and I love those posts, gotta catch up.
I, too, am plagued by these kinds of thoughts from time to time. Sometimes they can be eye-opening...

Hey Garry! Can we get dark theme? Do you read these? Bro I always run red lights when theres nobody there, and my friends all freak out because they think the fucking phantom honda civic is gonna instantly materialize right next to us and go 40 miles an hour straight into our side killing everyone even though we couldnt hear it or see it's headlights coming. It pisses me off like theres nobody there dude chill

Break the Matrix.

Thanks for everything, Garry Newman.

Hi, Garry, I hope you're reading this. I'm a huge fan of the game that you and your team created. However, 2301 days ago, I was hacked, and a bad person used banned apps. I restored my account, but I couldn't play the game anymore. All this time, I've been writing non-stop in support, hoping that I'll be VAC-free and able to play the game again. Now, I've decided to try writing to you. My name is Victor, and I've also sent you an application on Instagram. I really hope you'll respond.

It's almost been a full year since you posted anything Garry! :(
A postmortem about S&box's launch or pacepunch's/your future projects as a next blogpost?
Been reading your blog with pleasure for as long as I can remember. (2012ish)

Hey, Garry.
Please check your Instagram DMs; my name is Alexandre Samborski.

An injustice has occurred in the game Rust involving more than 15 people, and it seems no one is willing to listen to us or help.
