People think that police should be perfect super soldiers capable of planning 10 moves ahead and seeing every angle before it happens. Nobody is like that, whether they are in policing, medicine, or running Fortune 500 companies.

This is Jalopnik - most here don’t care of the two men just got done serial raping 8 year olds at the local grade school, robbed a bank, and tossed a litter of puppies in front of a train - NO POLICE CHASES ALLOWED!

I feel like a person who is stealing cars at gunpoint (known as carjacking where I come from) is a violent criminal worth pursuing, not just some poor homeless vet trying to feed his family or some shit.

So if the cops never pursued the car, and the suspect went on to rob more people at gunpoint, and possibly shot and killed one or more people in the process, I’m assuming you would agree that “it is unfortunate that those people had to die, but at least there was no police chase!” Right?

I personally am still shocked and angered to find that there are no horses in A Band of Horses. It’s not only a failure of representation. It’s also false advertising.

Don’t listen to the other self righteous jerk. People can change and grow to be better. Your perspective is helpful to this conversation.

I’m OK with being called an idiot. I was an idiot. I’m also nearly 11 years sober, which doesn’t invalidate my misdeeds but at least shows that I did, in fact, address my alcoholism.

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

Drunk driving accounts for so few accidents in the country. Comapred to cell phone driver and sleepy drivers, DUI crashes make up a nearly meaningless portion of the crashes. But its low hanging fruit - no one in theri right mind would ever speak out in support of drunks - but this is misguided tech.

car companies are still making money hand over fist prioritizing high-profit-margin vehicles and leaving everything else on the to-do-list.

Maybe he tipped off the White House about what “Let’s Go Brandon” really means. 

And since they’re shortening their lives with this disgusting nonsense, they won’t need as much food at all period, right?

Yeah when that guy filmed himself eating a calorie surplus, and then gained mass as a result, I was blown away completely.

These two things from that link seem to contradict each other. According to this, it is somehow okay to kill salmonella in meat and contaminated produce via cooking, but there is an exception if it’s recalled? Makes no sense. Cooking either kills germs or it doesn’t. 

Apple has perfected the art of turning want into need, of turning spending more into value. 

Skate Trolls sounds like an animated movie Dreamworks put out in 2006.

As long as nukes aren’t involved, tanks probably will be. Aircraft and drones can’t hold territory (only deny it to the enemy), you need ground vehicles and boots for that.

Classified information being leaked does not declassify it, so that’s moot. In the US these guys would lose their security clearances (and almost certainly their jobs) at a minimum. I imagine it’s the same in their respective countries. You can maybe make an innocent mistake once (but not with TS) but this was…

Yeah, this. :(

Thinking about the circumstances that led to these abandoned cars is quite sad. Could be the owners traveled alone and died at their destination with no next of kin to be found.
