I think there is a certain personality type of fairly intelligent and perceptive person who goes through a phase in their life lasting maybe a decade, from about age 15 to age 25 or so, in which they realize that many people and many institutions of society are hypocritical and corrupt. But instead of continuing a…

So her choices were...

You are entitled to your wrong opinion. Mr. Meseeks is awesome.

Jumps to conlusions about a suspect, aggressively confronts him, no de-escalation, reaches for gun instead of numerous less-than-lethals available, ignores surroundings (screaming neighbours), and keeps moving towards the man with a walking stick, giving up the advantage of the range afforded him by his gun and taser.…

One of the cops used a Taser - it’s a shame his partner went straight to his handgun. Two tasers makes for a much different story vs. one taser and multiple gunshots.

Not a double standard, but perhaps a different frame. You’re seeing this as an age frame rather than a gender frame. And while I hear the points you and someone else have made about the possibility of the older racers thinking they’re showing respect by giving her unsought for advice, I would say it is always a bad…

White woman born and raised in a mostly white town near Chicago. So, sheltered and ignorant. Aware of my ignorance, biases, and bigotries, though not as a teen.

Once, I was taking pups to the park when realized I forgot my hat (nasty sun here) so I turned around. Coming up to the first stop sign I heard some commotion and turned around just in time to see the yellow lab eject herself out the rear window. Not sure how she did it but she landed on all fours and slid about 15…

Whiteness and white people are two different things. There is no redeeming value in whiteness, which was created to separate one group of people from everyone else, assert that manufactured group’s superiority, and oppress others, often on a sliding scale of. White people benefit from this system whether they mean to…

Thanks for sharing.

My senior constituent constantly complains about the smell of her transit cabin but never acknowledges that she and her junior partner have vomited multiple times inside the vehicle. At this to the stench created by assorted cereals, french fries, craisins, at least one empty yogurt pouch and the Florida heat...I may…

In more relevant news to 99% of us, I’m thinking about banning food from my car, as well. Some of my constituents (notably the upper middle class white people between the ages of 4 and 7) are complaining loudly about this, but as a compromise I’m thinking about altering the rule to state “All rides under 30 minutes…

Lol, waaaaa. Baby had to read a headline that disagrees with him.

Get a grip snowflake

Sorry important things are important and getting in the way of your escapism.

Palm plant to forehead — jeez, not more of this shit! One more time: we don’t need ignorant commenters complaining about Foxtrot Alpha posts showing up on the main page.

How may car-related posts do you normally find in the Foxtrot Alpha blog?

well, a lot of them still seem to be alive, so not really roadkill. What’s eel season look like up there?

How much slime can a hag fish slime? Not much to go a long way.

Used to be that cars did not have the complexity and electronics that they have today and that you could reasonably fix these sorts of problems by sending money to a mail order speed parts company.
