Yeah, it’s usually Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), not, “Drinking and Driving.” But its not like facts have any influence over the Sovereign Citizen movement, so I don’t see why we should start here.
I hope this is the beginning of a new Sovereign Citizen style movement that uses hyper-literal misinterpretations of the law as a defense.
One summer, when I was 19, I became deeply infatuated with a British girl and it took me two full weeks to realize she was really dumb.
The Pokédex also heavily implies that Meowths are using coins that they find and collect, not generating money out of thin air (though I don’t know if the anime follows the same rules).
LOL, that’s fucking awesome. Also, does this mean that I can just fuck with any dork wearing these? Like, if I’m in within earshot of them and I say, "OK Meta, show me pictures of orangutan genitals!’ that’s just gonna get displayed on their glasses?
LOL, wait, seriously? Is that confirmed?
Not sure that, “sorry, we botched our entire tech demo because we couldn’t get the router working,” is a better explanation.
I envy you.
(He was an annoying self-insert character for young boys that was more prominent in the first two seasons. You migr know him from the, “Shut Up Wesley,” meme. He was played by Will Whedon who, by all accounts, is a pretty chill dude).
“Come to Las Vegas! Win a free trip to El Salvador if you accidentally get swept up in an ICE raid!”
It’s a Wesley episode.
Yeah, but the answer is TNG, Season 3, Episode 2, The Ensigns of Command. That’s about when they hit their stride. If you’re very brave you could start with Season 2, Episode 9, The Measure of a Man, but that season is pretty hit or miss (if I remember right, the season finale was a clip show).
Meanwhile, this guy openly admitted to joining Bluesky explicitly to screenshot people and report them to Laura Loomer, and was throwing out slurs in the comments to provoke them, but it took at least three reports and over 24 hours for the moderation team to do anything about it.
(Also, warning, slurs, obviously)
Wahh wahh I’ve seen comments like this before, I need jump into someone else’s mentions to get pissy about it for 20 hours, wahh. I wasn’t even replying to you dude, imagine how much time we both could have saved if you’d just downvoted my comment instead of appointing yourself arbiter of the FuckCars discourse.
The fuck are you talking about? Yeah, they don’t get to have the nuance; it’s not in the fucking post. It’s a pithy 50ish words about how they’re so much smarter than other people for not driving to the grocery store. I pointed out the reality is more nuanced than that for most people, and your whole response has been, “yeah, well, they probably know that, so why don’t just act like their response is nuanced?” To which the answer continues to be, “Because that’s not what they fucking said, are you high?”
Except there are places where that’s true. There are also people in places with the same mindset who buy trucks for twice the price of a reasonable hatchback…
Yeah, I never said this wasn’t true, but again, none of that is in the fucking post. The dude’s not making a nuanced point about people who live in walkable areas but buy large trucks over sensible hatchbacks. He’s making a sweeping statement about how people who don’t walk to the grocery store are idiots, but America has the walking score of a developing nation; if you live somewhere where you can walk to the grocery store, you’re breathing rarefied air, and calling other people stupid for driving is entitled.
Like, what are you so pissy about? That I was responding to the content of the post instead of the points you assume the 4Channer would make, but didn’t? OK buddy, in the future, I’ll try to infer what you presume the OP’s hidden beliefs are and tailor my comment to that. Seems reasonable.
Yeah, that would be a great point if the entire post wasn’t a 4Channer framing this as personal choices and not systemic ones. The dudes not talking about how the car industry destroyed railcars, he’s dunking on people who drive to the grocery store, and the implication is clearly, “everyone can and should do this,” which is bullshit.
Oh, this wasn’t even a right on red. The green light for cars was lined up with the walk sign for pedestrians going rhe same direction. In a situation like that, when a car with a green light needs to turn through the crosswalk, they are supposed to yield to any pedestrian crossing at that time, but apparently the people of Orlando have so much car entitlement that they don’t even slow down when a pedestrian is standing in the middle of the crosswalk trying to complete a legal crossing.
This is assuming you live in a walkable town or neighborhood. I remember a reddit post (can’t find it anymore) of a guy trying to walk less than 2 miles to an appointment in Orlando. He followed Google Maps directions down the shoulder of a highway that led to a dead-end, backtracked, tried again, and finally made almost all the way to his destination, which was on the opposite side of a 6-lane highway Google wanted him to cross.
I’ve only ever visited the theme parks in Orlando, but I experienced one intersection I had to share with cars. I spent every walk sign waiting for cars making a turn to yield. Even though I had the right of way, literally none of them did, until I finally had to run across the street because the cars at the red light, who could see I was 1/3 through the intersection, floored it the second their light turned green. Sure, fuck all of those car-brained drivers who refuse to yield to pedestrians, but also fuck that city for not fining drivers for shitty behavior, or at least changing their traffic lights so all cars have red lights when pedestrians have the walk sign.
Anyway, point is, personal choices are important, but they can’t overcome the systemic issues created by car culture without collective action. And Orlando sucks ass.
Rabbits’ digestive systems are so inefficient they have to eat their own shit to get enough nutrients.
Wait…it can actually hit the corner? I thought that was just a legend.
