I have my license and still own a bike. I mostly rode it around the suburbs of Detroit. I would ride to work and just cruise around a bit on weekends. I was enthusiastic about it until I was hit from the rear at low speed approaching a stop light. The driver who hit me simply wasn’t paying attention and was following…

If Trump learns he can speak the magic words “national emergency” and do whatever he wants without being checked or balanced, what makes you think there will be elections in 2020? Somebody in what was the GOP needs to stand up for the American people at some point or we could very well be done. There are right wing…

That might not be what any sane person was expecting, but it is exactly the image of the “migrant invasion” they were force feeding to their terrified base of supporters...

Imagine if we had police police, specifically to police the police. Now imagine these police police had the same hard on for “justice” and being “tough on crime” as the regular police and adopted the same practices. It would be a blood bath... but we are coming to the point where it might be the only way out.

I had not either until I started paying much closer attention. Yes, I’m a white man. Yes I completely see I’ve never had to worry about this because I’m white. I wear whatever I want, including hoodies, and nobody has ever said a thing to me about it.
The first time I became aware of this is when I went to a friend’s…

The NRA has not been quiet enough... Did you see the disgusting twitter episodes where the NRA told doctors to “Stay in their lane” and not talk about gun violence? I guess the NRA position is simply that doctors should just shut up and and focus on stitching up any survivors of shootings, you know, because avoiding…

“I also don’t think he would get through the Senate” Really? I have the opposite view. The senate blocking a Trump nominee is hard to imagine at this point... We had one recent nominee sit there and lie under oath multiple times and he was confirmed.

I concur. I’ll add a guess that the fault is in the key fob itself. Either the user is hitting the remote start button inadvertently, or there is an internal fault in the fob that is causing the remote start to trigger when the torque is applied to the key.

This is actually the part I find most troubling. It should be expected that you are going to find uninhibited racists inside a gated community, but the actual dispatching of police to a location away from the supposed “crime” scene for an allegation of trespassing is very problematic.  It implies the police knowingly…

As a local, I had no idea “Almond Boneless Chicken” was not a thing elsewhere.  Neat!  

As others say, a car or motorcycle get’s put away, and then life happens. This can be any reason, but there is a psychological component. The owner isn’t using it, but doesn’t necessarily want to part with it. Stick it in the barn/garage/field/woods and “out of sight, out of mind”. My extended family has created, and…

Or had shot it down... never to fly again.  That’s what I want to believe.

If NY has similar requirements, as MI, that isn’t such a good deal. First, teachers generally don’t get as much “vacation” as the public thinks (just because the kids aren’t at school does not mean the teachers don’t need to be) and that vacation time comes with zero flexibility. Second, teaching pretty much requires…

Neutral: I already contributed to auto sales once in 2016 and again in summer 2017, so I am sitting out for 2018 and hopefully will not buy again until at least 2026.

The NRA and gun loving Texans would be twisting themselves in knots if that had happened. In a world of castle doctrine, “stand your ground” laws, and unaccountable police, I guess it really is might makes right.  Maybe???

So... How drunk and/or high was this officer during this? I’m sure she was arrested and booked. Right? RIGHT?

I mean, I certainly hope so... If I walk into my neighbors place and shoot him in the middle of the night, I’d expect to be arrested no matter what my explanation for the event was. It’s almost like there is a…

I think this take is overly generous to this family. I see nothing but an attempt to profit from the murder of a little boy. I think a monument should be placed elsewhere in or near that town and include a footnote on the fuckery perpetrated by these people so their names can live on in infamy.

The experts made solid suggestions with the exception of “Expert” 3: Kristen Lee. He specified heavy commuter traffic and parallel parking. So the big Ford doesn’t fit (literally). Also keeping in mind he is a cyclist, I would delete that suggestion and replace it with a Subaru wagon. Probably the Impreza. The Impreza…

Aspects of this look a lot like the Fiat Spyder to my eye.

I nearly rushed to order one too, but then I realized it probably wouldn’t deliver the same message about casual racism when worn buy a white guy.  People would probably think I was wearing it to express “white pride” or something.
