I thought she must have thought that the hot air in the opposite direction would somehow actually slow down a car. Grandma is definitely smarter than me.

I wouldn't disobey a granny with a pretend speed camera

Chaotic isn't just quirky. This is clearly lawful good, given the fact that she's inducing people to, you know, follow the law.

Chaotic good would be if she only did it to cars worth more than $20,000 because "the threat of a ticket puts too much stress on people with so little money that a speeding ticket might mean they can't make rent."

Nah, it's chaotic. A lawful person might ask the cops to set up a speed trap there, as it's their responsibility. She's out there getting drivers to follow the law in her own way.

Chaotic motivation and lawful action are not mutually exclusive, in my experience. Lawful good is believing that there is a right code to live by - "the law" - be that an actual legal system, or a creed.

Chaotic good, on the other hand, is still good, but it's a very personal, sometimes selfish good. They do not have a book or spoken history to point to and say "this is what's right." But they know it when they see it.

That's how I've always explained it to people, after having it explained to me as that 🤷

I think people are too strict on defining alignment. It makes things less fun. For example, I played a Paladin who had a personality that was somewhat selfish, but warshipped a lawful good god. This required his behavior to be lawful good even if it wasn't what he wanted to be doing. His personality was more true neutral or maybe neutral good. What's the alignment of the character?

[-] neatchee@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

.... That's either neutral or chaotic. Maybe even true neutral? They don't respect the law. They get something from the law. That is not lawful good, IMO

[-] chillhelm@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The method is neither chaotic nor lawful. The motivation is. If she wants to enforce the speed limit, she is lawful. If she doesn't care about the speed limit and just wants the cars to slow down, she's chaotic.

Thats what Austin Powers does nowadays. Interesting.

That hair dryer must pack a helluva punch

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

As per the photo evidence: not a single runner made it past her.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Grandma needs some hobbies.

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

This looks like one

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, l ts not design roads to make people want to drive the right speed, let's just continue with the 1960 mentality that ll roads must be like highways and continue being surprised that people drive too fast.

Let's also not design cities for people, let's design them for cars. Car manufacturers say we need more and bigger cars so let's demolishh nice buildings for more hellish parking lots. Climate change is a hoax as we all know, so let's not design cities for people where they can walk and cycle everywhere because we know that the 25 minute city is a conspiracy theory to make the frogs gay.. or something..

I'm so tired of reading shit about shit that could be fixed so easily. It's like watching somebody wipe their ass with their hands and complain about shit on their hands and I'm just sitting here waving with toilet paper but they just look at me like I'm crazy.

People deserve this shit because they don't want solutions

In the US, we don't use the government for the collective good of the people. If it's something that individuals and small groups can do themselves, it's "not the government's job."

Managing speeding? Post on social media about how people need to slow down. Do what grandma do.

Feeding school children? Have a food drive one time a year for the community and forget about it the rest of the time.

Need to pay for medical care? Run a Go Fund Me and get your neighbor's help.

Many americans will open their pockets for small charities, but god forbid you tax them a little more so that everyone benefits from a more efficient system.

We the people apparently want to feel empowered to run an inefficient system ourselves.

Grandma blows

You have a sad life if that’s how you pass time.

[-] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

A pastime almost as boring as golf or fishing. Personality, I think this wonderful lady has something figured out that we don't.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

She's probably made more friends this way than you ever will.

If you added HOA to this title you'd get a much different reaction from the masses🤣
