Maybe I haven’t looked closely enough, but most trikes I’ve seen are almost as wide as a small car, so I’d assume that lane-splitting wouldn’t even occur to their riders. ---

I’d assume that some drivers will do anything they think might remotely work, and are oblivious to what happens when two objects try to occupy the same physical space at the same time. ---

**Moderating:** Let’s drop the riveting discussion of lane splitting, okay? I’ll leave this open for discussion of Mike Lindell’s … Issues. But the whole lane hijack needs to stop, or if y’all are really interested in it, it can go to a new thread. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > I don’t get it The numbers “14” and “88” are both well-known codes used by Nazis. Bolding mine at the end of this quote: > [@](#): > > 1488 is a combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is [14](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/14), which is shorthand for the “[14 Words](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/14-words)” slogan: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The second is [88](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/88), which stands for “Heil Hitler” (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet). Together, the numbers form a general endorsement of white supremacy and its beliefs. As such, they are ubiquitous within the white supremacist movement - as graffiti, in graphics and tattoos, even in screen names and e-mail addresses, such as [aryanprincess1488@hate.net](mailto:aryanprincess1488@hate.net). **Some white supremacists will even price racist merchandise, such as t-shirts or compact discs, for $14.88.** [https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488) ---

Given Lindell’s financial issues, I wouldn’t (even if I wanted his pillows) order from him now. I mean how much _more_ financial/legal issues is he going to get into by taking the funds for all the orders and just not shipping the product. Or even with good intents, if he’s as behind with his shipping companies as he is with everyone else… I predict doom. Well, correction, =more= doom. ---

This seems like Lindell’s “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND OUT OF MY MIND!” sale. And he’s going all in on the “only the far right will buy my crap now” idea, which is probably accurate. ---
