I think the issue is that those headlight are often times both - obnoxiously bright to oncoming traffic and don’t throw the light far enough for the driver because the light has no focus and direction.

That sounds like something a CIA agent would say...

Well, that’s kind of the point. Over the last generation or so being gay has gone from being both a crime and a mental disorder to something that is a small enough deal that you can maybe still get elected president. We’ve had 46 presidents so far, 45 or 46 of whom have been heterosexual (depending on your opinion of…

That is certainly one way to look at it. It’s not factually correct, though: he did in fact win the Iowa caucuses. Also, he is not in fact a CIA agent. What you are saying are conspiracy theories.

I think Buttigieg’s nomination is actually pretty interesting, if you care about politics. This is a guy who has just vaulted himself from mayor of a small city, to a Cabinet post running a department that is in itself half the size of said city. He did it by raising his profile with a presidential run—one that was…

Neutral: My first interaction will be me, getting more and more frustrated at the slow, erratic driving of a delivery van to the point where I start shouting and honking angrily. It is only after I finally pass the inconsiderate asshole will I discover it was driverless. The slow realization that I was the real…

if they didn’t want you to use all that runway, then they shouldn’t have paved it.

If you’re scared of nuclear power

And, if you don’t understand climate change at this point, we’re not debating anymore. You’re behind and we’re going to have to leave you behind or just drag you along kicking and screaming.

Hopefully with a functioning adult in the White House we can get back to repsonsible management of resrouces and address climate change with real solutions. We’re going to need a fully comprehensive plan of action, every available avenue as far as renewables, E vehicles, the way we think about how we eat, the clothes…

I hope this doesn’t come off as condescending, because I really do want to understand. Why continue to do this?

Was going to say, that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works at all. IRS reimbursement rate can’t even be applied in this situation, it’s irrelevent.

Tax income does not equal actual income. That 58 cent per mile assumption is going to be way higher than actual expenses for your car because it’s based on averages for work vehicles, most of which are big trucks/vans, not a tiny cheap sonic. Your fuel cost is probably ~7 cents per mile. Your repairs at 6K over 50k…

Your nuance in discussing these topics is enabling to the worlds evilest people! You are equally as bad as them! Fuck you!

Just to be clear: The Developed World needs to just have open borders, full stop. A transparent, well-regulated immigrant system where we know where everybody is and what they’re doing would be far safer, cheaper, and more effective than forcing people to roll the dice on a leaky boat or a hike through the worst…

5th Gear: Being American, I’ve not been following the British news as closely, but what I do see boils down to basically everything that’s happening in the US, except a thousand times worse and they aren’t getting rid of Boris any time soon.

This.
