Not sure where you live, but that only occurs in some intersections here: those intersections where the pedestrian must push the button to trigger the “wall” signal.

I'd argue it's pretty reasonable to expect more from people behind the wheel of 4,000lbs of steel, given that the likelihood of a driver dying due to a pedestrian collision is basically nil, while the reverse is not. 

But without the green arrow, you don’t know if the traffic coming the other way has a red or not.

I’d add ban the bs left turn arrow as well,

Kind of hard to do when the driver has their eyes glued to the left and is only concerned about oncoming vehicles, with no consideration for anything that exists to the right.

Or just join the rest of the world and change over to roundabouts for 95% of intersections.

This is some victim blaming bullshit, and assumes that all pedestrian strikes occur when the pedestrian is entering the cross-walk from the “right” side of the road.

same stupid tired argument that gets used in gun debates all the time

Eliminating the left arrow? So one car can turn per light cycle at a busy intersection? Ever been ninth in line in the left turning lane? That’s a recipe for road rage.

I will defend the left turn arrow. No it’s not warranted at every single intersection, but it is really necessary in certain spots where you would probably need to sit through 4 or 5 light cycles before you could even hope to get a gap. 

Yeah, weird how the girl who’s been skating on the edge of starvation for years and is basically a poster child for PTSD isn’t really interested in anything other than survival....

Agreed. A line of tax code that allows you a tax break for producing or doing nothing, even going as far to say it encourages the waste of productive resources?  Can it, immediately. 

All the other major streaming services and studios are pulling the same crap. Disney are just the latest. Rather than killing off the providers, the solution is to close down this loophole in the tax law which allows them to get away with it in the first place.

Whatever law or rule or whatever makes it beneficial to bury a finished series (and I’m not necessarily talking about Nemo, here, so much as things like Prodigy and Willow) really needs to be changed ASAP.

I am a HUGE fan of Disney, Star Wars, an Marvel (yes, even the Disney Star Wars and Marvel), but even I am suffering a bot of Star Wars and Marvel fatigue. With that in mind, I would like to see more projects that maybe are not Marvel or Star Wars. I know there is a lot of other stuff on Disney+, but when I heard of

Disney just needs to kill Dinsey+. It hemorrhages money and has barely produced anything of value outside of one or two things (it’s Andor, it’s just Andor). In fact I’d say it does more damage to the IPs they use than just leaving them on the shelf would have. The age of “content” is killing media. 

I wonder if they mean that they finished the old-fashioned ‘actors standing in front of cameras’ part of the production, but took a look at the bill to do all of the CGI and other post-production and said ‘screw it’.

As part of the streamer’s cost-saving “content removal plan,” Deadline reports Disney+ is no longer moving forward with its Captain Nemo TV series, Nautilus, despite having finished filming its first season.

But it was a fun dumb
