Correlation does not equal causation. 

How much do I have to pay for a feature that will let me run over people I don’t like and be cleared of any criminal or civil penalties because “the car was supposed to prevent this”? I would pay a lot for that.

It’s really tiring to hear this disingenuous argument once again. No one is saying the kid deserved death. No one is saying that people who carjack others and are then killed in a police chase deserve death. No one is even saying that someone who is using a firearm in a situation involving the police necessarily…

The same weapons that keep you safe and able to say whatever you like without fear of someone breaking down your door and hauling you off to a re-education camp? I bet a few groups in China wish they had access to these evil weapons so they don’t have to get forced abortions and work as slaves. But, nah, all weapons…

“Get ready with me,” they said, “except it’s 350 BCE and I’m about to be a human sacrifice—at least that’s what some historians think.”

This cultural appropriation is ok because?

That would be pretty pathetic if we were talking about that show.

Yes, deaf mutes get screwed over pretty hard too. Give it a rest.

That’s not a complete picture. China’s emissions have increased 500% per capita in the last 40 years, and India’s has increased 400%. The United States have decreased by about 33% in that time while increasing productivity. Approximately 24% of Chinese citizens and 87% of Indian citizens live in poverty as defined as…

The Jalopnik writers and editors believe that any job that isn’t a corporate executive is “exploitive” and “low paying.” It’s the usual nonsense that all companies are terrible and every worker is getting the shaft and too stupid or powerless to realize it or do anything about it. 

Where will we get the electricity? If you think the electrical grid in major cities is going to have issues, wait until you try to tie these all in to a rural REMC or something similar.

You can put a gas station every 3 feet, but if there is no gasoline to put in the underground tanks, it isn’t going to fulfill it’s…

When is it wrong to hope that these “accidents” start killing the “drivers?” All the time?

Biden releasing a glut of crude from our strategic reserve

You left out quite a few concessions such as an $8500 ratification bonus for everyone, a $250/month increase in pension payments, inflation protection (cost of living increases every quarter for the entire contract), $0 dollar healthcare contributions from the employees, better vision coverage, better 401k…

I go through this intersection almost daily. This is the first pedestrian I have seen crossing that direction, and maybe the third person I’ve seen in 20 years crossing any direction. 

Where do you see that? The driver stopped behind the crosswalk. 

Except he wasn’t fleeing the police. He was fleeing his latest crime with NO police in pursuit. Lest you think this is from some conservative source, here’s the CNN report on it.

Where are the “police should never chase criminals” posts?

They do. It’s call allocation. When the Hellcat was released (and later the Demon) and dealers were trying to mark them up, Dodge told them that they would lose their allocations if they were caught doing it. They had a choice to either sell one at a large markup and never get one again, or play ball, sell it at MSRP,…

The spike strips themselves are generally not what causes the injuries and deaths. It’s either the suspect trying to directly hit the officer or the suspect wildly swerving to avoid the strip. Spike strips, when deployed properly, save a lot of lives by slowly deflating the tires.

The radio idea is great in theory,…

So the person he killed who was a felon in possession of a gun would get the same treatment?
