America: defined by fear for well over a century.

It’s not a breather, however, as this is still Discovery—and for better or worse, that means that it can’t simply just be Star Trek,

Yeah that happens when you let a rural society a 100 years ago dictate how tech should be handled.

Wait, we still have rednecks telling the whole country how to do things, even voting a morally corrupt, incompetent and broke conservative president into the White House some years ago.

Yeah.  Older cars were better at surviving crashes.  It was at the expense of the people inside, however.  Given the choice I’d rather it be me who survives a crash, rather than my car…

Absolutely! This is a remarkable engineering win for modern cars. Even lower cost ones. 

Burn this image into your brains for the next time some idiot writer or commenter tells you how much better cars were in the 80s-90s.

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t.

The number of people in that comment section defending drivers hitting cyclists was disgusting.

Sure, yeah, people protesting for civil rights are totally the same thing as idiots who make their cars spin.

That’s not the same.

Wreckless  operation of a vehicle is not a constitutional right. You might want to go back to driving school.

The people doing donuts were just peacefully protesting.

I’m in the district Gournades represents.

“Of course, we all know that keeping the streets nice and serene likely isn’t the real intent of the bill. Traffic stops are often more about revenue than safety, and increasing fines from three digits to four ought to net the state some nice cash flow. With these stops disproportionately affecting low-income drivers,…

People complain all the time about Doctor Who episodes that hold their hands or spend too much time on long info dumps - and now that we get something that may not spell it all out, reviewers are all like, ‘jeez, what a hot mess, nothing is explained, it’s all just dropped on us.’
