It’ll be interesting to see how that plays in court. I mean what assistance were they planning on providing exactly? I can totally see stopping a car that has a poorly secured load, but the police comments don’t lead me to believe that’s what was happening here.

He does seem to have... Issues.

10 foot clearance? Daaam, I thought 11foot8 was bad.

I’m willing to bet real money that he has never (or at least in decades) used MLK’s real name. Every time he talks about him, every time he refers to a road named after him, he’s always used the slur because he’s always been among other racist assholes.

The security guards at the library where I work have commented that people who are squaring up to fight tend to actually get more shouty and belligerent once they know that security is there and there’s zero chance that the fight is going to go down.

Made me think of this bit from Tumblr.

That’s because the people who would be interested in the New Yorker aren’t fucking savages.

So what I’m getting here is that the car has plenty of room. Also that the car looks like a slightly aerodynamic brick. As someone who’s had a minivan nearly pushed off the road by wind gusts, I’ll pass.

Back when I was a kid we lived for about a year on a street where almost every tree had some amount of damage on the trunk from the one old drunk guy on the block. That was right around the time MADD was getting started and the cultural attitude was seriously changing from the Andy Griffith show “Ha ha, old guys who…

This is seriously like the plot of an episode of Midsomer Murders, except you know, stupid and blindingly obvious and in no way needing a brilliant detective to solve it.

Pics of the damage.

Was thinking the same thing. “Oh man, I gotta tweet about this!” *splat*

This is what you get when you have people who think the internet is a series of tubes and you assign one of them to find pictures for your website.

Had a similar incident on my street earlier this year. We’re on a dead-end near a freeway so occasionally we get idiots who don’t believe the signs come barreling down the street looking for the on-ramp only to have to barrel right back where they came from. About 1 am an f-150 with a drunk at the helm came pinballing…

So wait, Millennials were killing the car industry, but now they’re killing the public transport and car-free lifestyle industries? I thought they were still working on killing the diamond industry.

I can see where it wouldn’t be desirable to infodump a complex backstory for a secondary character in a movie, but I don’t see where that equates to needing to “erase” said backstory. He’s an asian-american BPRD agent who is a were-jaguar due to a previous mission that went to shit, the rest of the back story can…

Do they still make what we use to call “Guest soap”? The fru-fru little pieces of hand soap in the shapes of pieces of fruit or gems that would be in a bowl next to the sink whenever I went to an older relative’s house. I never wanted to use them because then they’d get misshapen.

Well now they know how their heros felt in oh say, late April of 1945.

He was the president of the confederacy, the head traitor if you will.

According to the story, the bridge was built in the 1940’s and apparently relies on the safety mechanism of some guy looking out a window.
