My gentleman’s code says don’t hit anyone unless they’re a danger to me and I have no other choice, in which case your sex will not be considered.

The only difference in my choices is I don’t think I would have let the guy’s hands free. He had him completely incapacitated, if he kept his arms pinned until the cops showed up it would have been perfectly fine. Like you said, no need to take the risk.

We can’t pretend that the next thirty years won’t involve a serious peer-state conflict. It’s great to point to the last twenty years where we’ve been fighting insurgents based in caves and despots armed with poorly maintained fighters from Soviet era communist states, but that’s not always going to be the case, and…

How on earth was his FIRST reaction not to close the bloody valve on the bottle?!

Seriously, I don’t know how that judge doesn’t see the irreparable harm that this kind of action is going to have. Even if you assume the father is 100% in the right and the mother is nothing but a liar this does not help the kids, especially when you’re being so insane that you don’t even revisit the issue until…

Even if the father is 100% correct, you can’t issue a court order for someone to have a good relationship. That isn’t how human beings work. You can require the kid get counseling, you can require that the father have access, but it’s insane and absolutely indefensible to think that it’s appropriate to JAIL a child…

Are you insane? Think about what you’re claiming to support: a judge is attempting to enforce a legal order to a child that they have to love their Dad. What insane police state are you supporting where a court can put a child into a penal facility under contempt for exercising the most basic free right a human being…

Many of the justifications of piracy are the responsibility of the publishing studios themselves. The studios aren’t being paid any more to develop titles, artists and coders are getting shittier conditions than ever before, and distribution costs have never been lower, yet somehow games cost more today than they did…

While I don’t think Riot owes us anything, the company grossed $1 billion last year, so somehow I don’t think they’re struggling to maintain solvency.

While I’m sure there’s plenty of affluent middle-class families that use Escalades to haul bass boats around rural Utah in my mind that just doesn’t mesh. If you want to haul 2.5 kids and 3500lbs of crap do what every sensible person does: buy a Raptor.

I mean, in the end it’s not honestly a car I’m deeply in love with, but if someone wrote me a check for $90,000, told me they’d cover the insurance, and said I had to buy a Caddy it’s definitely what I’d open my garage to every day.

The light beams are scattered, blue or purple and often not even wired properly, which leads to dim headlights.

Seconded, this should be COTD.

Is there anything an old 240SX can’t do?

They start at $73K.

NP. You’re right, most people don’t read.

As I said, I understand your position. I don’t agree with it, but you also got shat on by a lot of people who were clearly not paying attention, and I don’t think it’s justified.

You realize that reckless driving exists everywhere and is more or less 100% subjective to the citing officer. You’re also never going to find a sympathetic judge if you try to argue that sliding sideways, intentionally out of control on a public road doesn’t classify as reckless. If there’s people around you can also…

I understand your position, but it will always be flirting a fine line between trying to teach risk mitigation versus suggesting implicit approval. I know you’re not saying it’s OK, but that’s the message some parties (reads: negligent idiots) will choose to take.
