  • Aye, and 2 seconds is the bare minimum. A company I have worked for wanted 4 seconds between you and the car in front. That always felt a little much, but it definitely helped prevent wrecks.

  • Even funner fact: anyone remember the USS Liberty? A common thought is Israel did that to pull us into their war then. Nowadays you would have a presidential candidate boldly declaring that [insert 'vile' country of choice] killed our troops and we must rush to war against them. I bet there are israeli leaders just salivating at the idea of repeating the scenario.

  • I'd just prefer to tell them how to get rid of carbon in their bodies, and if they looked up the process they would get the real info about it dealing with carbon. It's not my fault they don't know the context of what would happen when the carbon goes away.

  • My pet belief: It's because conspiracy theories (the modern parlance) are for unexplained things. Everyone knows that cabals of corporate cat-crushing cunts exist and are evil exemplified, but the truly crazies (who will be the visible and audible ones ranting about a conspiracy) aren't going to latch on to stuff that's easily explained by facts. They want to be the masterful mind who metes wisdom to the misled masses, and that takes leaping ahead of evidence (which is a good thing in science when you base it on evidence, and simply posit something that can be tested with the goal of discovering whether it's true or not, rather than just wholeheartedly believing in your conspiracy theory and refusing to consider evidence against it).

  • Alleged? Oh man, let me just get out my modern day naval warfare mini figs, and the modern rulebook (do you like 2e or 3e?), and let's see your battleships take on my missile destroyers! It is ON, Farragut!

  • Maybe I'm just grumpy, but by the time the potatoes are finger-licking good, you'll be quite unalive. Even if the potatoes were boiling first before you went in, you're still going to have an impossible time not screaming and flailing as you suffer third degree burns in fractions of a second.

  • Ah, shit, what's that initialism/mnemonic again?

    I am so glad that once we're out of school, no one in their right mind would ever not have a guide nearby with all the information you could ever want for your job.

  • can do whatever because of the supreme court

    No he can't, because he's biden/democrat. The supreme court made it particularly clear that they get to be the arbiters of what is allowed. They are going to allow everything if the president is republican, and deny everything otherwise.

  • You might not even get a public defender. Is an expired license at the same level as a speeding ticket in your area? If so, your government might only assign public defenders to 'criminal' charges with potential jail times. Just be aware of that before you start desperately trying to find one that doesn't 'exist.'

  • This is classic republican style speech/base-rousing. '[insert city/state/region/country here] is terrible, it was once so much better, but now it's horrible. It's not you [insert crowd euphemism here] here, it's all those damn [insert boogeyman euphemism of choice here] coming in and ruining things! We've gotta take back the city/state/region/country!'

    It's exactly what old what's-his-face did with the Haitians and dogs, the 'illegal' settlement in Texas, etc. Trump and his team are just so stupid because they take it so far that even the republican politicians in those areas look at them with stupefied expressions and correct the record.
