My teacher weaponized his discount. In the grade school I was at you stayed with the same teacher for 1-6 grade, and my teacher kept a classroom library. And every year when the book fair came around, every kid that kept their grades at the B line or higher got to bring him one book that he would buy and add to the collection.

My class ended up makin that man put up two new bookshelves over those six years.

My program offered free weekend rentals from the local video store. Then fuckin blockbuster gobbled up all the locals and said “no, fuck that shit”. Luckily I was aged out by then.

To 1, your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical. It does absolutely nothing to prove my argument wrong that everyone would be safer is speeders slowed down to a reasonable speed.

For 2, nearly all highways in the US are set for a speed limit that is both safe for that road and allows for reasonable efficiency of travel. Your example here is once again a bad faith gotcha argument based on insane hypotheticals.

It’s become clear that you have nothing meaningful to contribute here. Have a nice life, I’m out.

What you’re advocating for is allowing entitled psychopaths to set the speed everyone is forced to go because you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.

I’m obviously not saying anyone should be doing fucking 10 on the highway, I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.

Every study we have shows that the roads are safer, there are less crashes and they are less deadly when everyone just goes slower. But apparently you would rather risk getting turned into a rorschach splat than advocate for the thing that actually makes roads safer.

The state of the road in your scenario is already unsafe because of the people doing 75. Every. Single. Study. Shows that there are less crashes and they are less lethal when everyone just slows the fuck down. But none of you entitled fuckwits will accept even the tiniest bit of personal inconvenience for the sake of your own safety and that of everyone around you, so we have to live in fucking Mad Max instead.

This is a bullshit talking point used by psychopaths to try to justify their antisocial behavior. If the people around you are going so fast that just doing the speed limit becomes unsafe, they are the ones wholly responsible for creating those unsafe conditions. They are driving faster than the conditions (and let’s be real, their own ability) would reasonably allow for, they are the only ones that should be held responsible for the consequences of their freakish behavior.

Yeah, a lot of people don’t realize that electrolytes are just as important for hydration as water. Especially if you’re doin some heavy activities and sweatin buckets. You lose so much potassium in effort sweat, and you’ll just start locking up without it.

Dammit, now I gotta go get me a sketti.

Mostly because almost nobody knows it exists in the west.

It’s an experiment I’ve been trying: if I have nothing to say, I don’t say anything. I’ve found I tend to make myself look like an asshole far less often this way.

Bruh, why your meatballs come with a analog horror filter?

Fillin that whole establishment with uppercut.
