So, was it the law or the driver that hit you
Turn right on red does not mean you just proceed without stopping first
In Oregon you can make a left on red from a one way onto a one way, and from a two way onto a one way.
But you canāt pump your own gas, like New Jersey.
You can now - recent development.
Jersey really is its own planet.
Well, I hate turning right on the green, and I know the bastard across the intersection turning left does not have the right of way, and many times has the yellow arrow. But they turn anyway.
As a pedestrian, I am generally more worried about people turning right on green than people turning right on red. People turning right on green mostly have the right of way and may not look over their right shoulder for the people that are about to enter the crosswalk. People turning right on red donāt have the right of way and are likely to look over their left shoulder for people that are crossing. Of course, if I am crossing from the right side of a right on red turner, then I will make sure to make eye contact before getting in front of them.
I walk in areas where there arenāt always a lot of pedestrians, so I generally go on the assumption that drivers arenāt expecting me unless I know they have seen me.

Iām more worried about right turn on green, but Iām pissed off at right turn on red because right turn on red is taking away from pedestrianās āterritoryā for a lack of a better word.
An old friend of mine moved to the old part of Harrisburg because heās really anti-car/pro foot travel & bicycle.
He likes the towns that were well developed prior to the introduction to the automobile because theyāre much mor walk & bike friendly in their layout.

What about the drivers who have the green light to go through the intersection?
One of my motivations to live in Europe for a bit is the pedestrian- friendliness.
You would fit right in with the saudis 15 minute city
News outlets still saying āformerly Twitterā after referencing X. No shit. We get it at this point.
I bet it irritates Elon to no end, and heās an asshat. So I approve.
X is a stupid name. Twitter was gay a gay name but you could verbify (yes, that is a word) tweets to tweeting or tweeted. X sounds like a name that a nerd thought would be cool, and X does have a dark or mysterious quality to it, but in the end, youāre just posting on the internet like any other idiot. Having a gay name like Twitter and gay terms like tweets and tweeting is more fitting for what the platform is.
You canāt look at tweets anymore without an X account. There were some people I liked checking out once in a while, but didnāt want to make an account. Now you canāt view anything if youāre not logged in.
I have seen people write out, āX, formally known as Twitter.ā As in, we call it X for short, but the formal name is still Twitter. I donāt think thatās what they meant, but itās still hilarious.
And people thought Elon was going to save the day.
Whelp, this is a fun one.
So a couple of years ago I got a MERSA infection in my foot. Kept getting perscribed antibiotics non-stop since then. You know what antibiotics donāt kill? Yeast. But they do clear everything else out to make more real estate available for the yeast. Like my buddy Saccharomyces, who likes to turn any carbs into ethanol.
So after 3 days of medical supervision and blowing into a breathalyzer after every meal, apparently I have auto-brewery syndrome. How the fuck is this a real thing?

I kinda hate MRSA. It took out an awesome woman BBār I knew.
I hope you can find a solution to this.
