More gay stuff please
 
Guys,

We got caught up in so much if the gay stuff that this thread totally ignored the fact that S Koby Bretz entered the portal yesterday. We were all too busy sword fighting with our boners to do the actual job we are here for. That can't happen again. I'm gonna need all of you to promise not to be so gay. Now if we had gotten sidetracked with titties I could understand, but white hot male action? C'mon guys (pun intended) let's get our shit together.

Omaha drivers are the absolute worst and I say that after having spent multiple years driving in Chicago traffic.

Omahans take personal offense to people trying to merge in - it’s a very weird mindset.
 
Recent article about Cockeye drivers fucking up Omaha:

Headline: "Shocking New Study: 98% of Driving Incidents in Omaha Linked to Cockeye Drivers"

In a startling new report released by the Nebraska Traffic Safety Coalition (NTSC), researchers claim that a staggering 98% of all driving incidents in Omaha, Nebraska, over the past year have involved drivers from Cockeye.

The data, which covers accidents, traffic violations, and other road-related incidents, has sparked both outrage and amusement across the region. According to NTSC spokesperson Brian Wilkes, the study highlights a surprising trend that is sending shockwaves through both Omaha and Cockeye.

“We’ve carefully analyzed thousands of traffic records, and the numbers are hard to ignore,” Wilkes said. “It’s not just a few isolated cases—nearly every accident in Omaha seems to have involved a vehicle registered in Cockeye. Whether it’s a fender bender or a more serious crash, the pattern is undeniable.”

The Study's Findings

The NTSC study reviewed traffic data from January 1, 2023, to December 1, 2024. Of the 1,548 reported incidents in Omaha, 1,518 were linked to drivers who had Cockeye license plates or were identified as Cockeye residents. While many of these incidents were minor, some involved severe collisions, and a number of drivers were cited for traffic violations such as speeding, running red lights, and driving under the influence.

Wilkes suggests that the findings may point to a few key factors, including unfamiliarity with Omaha’s roadways and a “competitive driving culture” across state lines. “Cockeye drivers might not be used to the pace of traffic in Omaha, or they might be overestimating their ability to handle the more congested streets. Whatever the cause, the numbers are hard to ignore.”

The Cockeye Reaction

Cockeye residents are less than pleased with the report, with some taking to social media to express frustration and disbelief. “This is just ridiculous,” said Mark Hanson, a truck driver from Des Moines, who commutes regularly to Omaha for work. “I’ve been driving safely for over 20 years. If anything, it’s the people from Omaha who are the ones causing problems when they come to Cockeye!”

Others from across the river believe the study misrepresents their driving habits. “Maybe it’s the higher traffic volume in Omaha,” said Emily Moore, an Iowan who works in Omaha’s downtown area. “But I’ve seen just as many Nebraska plates speeding and cutting people off as I’ve seen from Cockeye. It’s unfair to single us out.”

The Expert Opinion

Dr. Linda Thompson, a traffic psychologist and professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, offers a more nuanced take on the findings. “It’s not necessarily that Cockeye drivers are more dangerous; it’s about perception. Nebraskans might have a stereotype that Iowans drive differently, which might influence how they respond to accidents or violations.”

Thompson suggests that the study could also be highlighting an unintended bias—people may be more likely to notice or report out-of-state drivers involved in incidents. “When you have an influx of out-of-state drivers in a city like Omaha, they stand out,” Thompson explained. “It’s not just about the driving behavior, but about how people interpret what’s happening around them.”

What’s Next?

The Nebraska Traffic Safety Coalition has vowed to continue its analysis of the data and said they will work with both state governments to address the findings. “We’re not trying to point fingers or blame anyone,” Wilkes said. “What we want is to open a conversation about traffic safety in Omaha and what we can do to reduce accidents, no matter where drivers come from.”

In the meantime, local lawmakers are calling for increased safety measures on Omaha’s roads, including more visible signage for out-of-state drivers, improved traffic signals, and heightened law enforcement during peak travel times.

As for the drivers of Cockeye, the study has sparked a flurry of lighthearted rivalry between the two states. Some residents from both sides of the Missouri River are taking to social media with the hashtag #IowaDriversTakeTheWheel, humorously acknowledging the findings while assuring each other that safe driving is always the top priority.

But one thing is clear: this latest traffic study will likely be a topic of discussion for months to come—at least until the next big traffic report.

57 County are the absolute worst drivers in Nebraska. You see a 57 county driver, you can assume you'll be cut off, they'll drive slow in the left lane, not use a turn signal, brake abruptly and change lanes/and or turn, drive slow up hills, and any other terrible driving practice.
