I love how it’s popular to shit on cruises, but anyone here been stuck in an airport trying to just get on your vacation when weather/staff/mechanical issues makes you miss a flight or a connection? Or on the subway when there is a strike? Or at the beach when the red tide hits? Any vacation is subject to possible…

Wait, didn’t he buy the stunt Lotus from the Bond movie? The one that turned into an actual working submarine? You figured out his plan! :)

70 years old and uncontrolled acceleration? No doubt what happened.

If you are trail braking in corners on the street, you are driving irresponsibly. Stop it.

That article is about driving on a track, not the streets. When you left foot brake in normal driving, you are only going to use more gas and wear out your brake pads early. Also, in an emergency you are much more likely to end up pressing the brake and the gas at the same time as there is no place to brace your right…

Yeah, I guarantee that if a boy had been drunk, jumped in the pool in his underwear and woke up being raped, this judge when throw the book at the rapist. The fact these old-school POS people treat the crime differently depending on the victim proves they aren’t fit to do these jobs. 

I had the same question about good credit consumers - but I have a theory. You know how they always ask what payment you want and not what rate? I assume there are people that pay their bills, but aren’t all that savvy about sales tricks. It’s quite possible these people aren’t paying attention to all the lines on the…

In Milwaukee, they changed the rules about chases and in 2018, had three times as many as the previous year. But only caught 38% of them. I think getting a tag and tracking them down later sounds like a much better option than risking innocent people’s lives at the time and letting 6 out of every 10 people still get…

Can you back that up? I tried looking for info on it, and found all the stories about how a change several years ago lead to a huge increase in chases that was causing a huge mess.

I nominate this statue to use for Trump. This thing still makes me laugh.

“Kathy, I’m lost”, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why...

My feeling, too - especially since there is the story about how they bought out their partner right before signing the TV deal without telling him about it. Although looking into it now, it just recently got tossed - with Chip countersuing. Who knows what the truth of that was - but I do get a kick out of the claim…

It’s just like his inane term limits proposal. No one takes that crap seriously - he has a history of putting forth obvious PR stunt legislation that it is never going to even see a vote, much less get passed.

This is obviously not all that relevant to the story - but I wanted to make sure these worthless scrubs get no credit at all. The math equation for age-dating came from XKCD, the nerdy comic. https://xkcd.com/314/
Granted, I am not sure if he even created it or just used it in a joke, but it’s been around for years. He…

I like puppies!

Thanks for sharing that - it actually was very enlightening for me.

I’ve had a complicated time deciding how to support reproductive rights as a man. When younger, I fully admit that I was ignorant of the larger role that controlling abortion and birth control had in the restraints placed on women. I have a better grasp now, and I pay more attention to the issues and vote accordingly.

It’s especially important when you realize that’s how a lot of the systemic racism and discrimination got into the realm of acceptable in the first place. “Are you sure I should treat other people terrible because they look different? Well, it’s been that way for more than 10 (100 - 1000) years so it must be right.”

I’m just curious - are you are a white dude, that sounds like a white dude? If you are, I’m not saying that it invalidates your opinion - but try to imagine what playing online is like when you get shit just for sounding a certain way. Nothing about how you play, just for who you are. Would you still think VC is…

Always bugs me, too - though I admit I don’t share any belief the flag needs special reverence. I am just allergic to giant doses of hypocrisy. But it does tie in nicely with the message that Repubs often like the rules only so far as they benefit them.
