This feels like an analogy for bike lanes.

Not voting also means your vote doesn’t matter. So does voting third party.


I feel like speed limiters might cause a bunch of difficult-to-predict issues. But increased penalties for moving violations in higher size/weight tiers would probably be atleast as effective.


They’re also remarkably litigious, with armies of lawyers. If you got into a physical altercation you’d probably end up convicted of assault.


Without windows hucking a brick through it would be a pretty impressive feat.


Even worse they COULD make trucks that do everything new trucks do without being so huge. Kei trucks would do most of what people use American trucks for.
Hell, American trucks used to do everything modern ones do at half the size.


Honestly, requiring a separate license for larger vehicles would probably be more effective. It’s already pretty common to have separate licenses for different classes of vehicles.
Make it require a more rigorous driving test, and maybe more expensive too. We should probably also outlaw consumer vehicles with such shit visibility anyway, but that’s a different issue.


Not to mention, during Trump’s first two races, him and his cronies did everything they could to meddle with the results. Do we all think they just gave up on that the third time around?
Ehhh, kinda? There was a group of non-benders who saw benders as oppressive. But their leader was secretly a water bender who was basically using them, and they’re mostly just portrayed as “Crazed revolutionaries who are going too far!”
You weren’t really encouraged to empathize with them or see the world from their point of view.


I mean, his death is not his own fault, and I’m not trying to say otherwise. This was murder, plain and simple. But kicking the car was still stupid, pointless and dangerous. Encouraging other people to follow this guy’s example is pointless, stupid, and dangerous.


Well, choosing not to kick cars that belong to clearly dangerous people has never gotten me shot.
Honestly, I think choosing to move on is absolutely the best course of action. Kicking the car in some act of vengeance, or expression of (even justified) anger isn’t going to make things better but it might make things worse. That bullet could’ve hit anyone in the vicinity, and even if dude hadn’t pulled a gun, the car he was driving is just as deadly and has plenty of potential for collateral damage.
Like I agree with you that the shooter definitely shouldn’t be driving with that mental state of his, but just because he’s in the wrong doesn’t make it right to escalate things such that everyone around you is in danger too.


Ehh, combustion is just slow explosions.


I’d actually recommend you don’t.


Not defending the shooter, he definitely had a severe over reaction to the situation. But dude had no fucking survival instincts. Why would you kick the 2 ton box of metal, powered by explosions and driven by someone who clearly doesn’t care about your safety? In the land driveby shootings no less.


The US military is huge. We’ve seen soldiers disobeying unlawful orders recently with Trump’s new attacks on Iran. It’s delusional to act like there’s no nuance in this.


Cultural values that strip people of their freedom for something as harmless as cannabis possession don’t deserve respect.


I mean, an unknown quantity of that money has just gone to well connected middlemen who got a suspiciously good supply contract with the military. Essentially laundering taxpayer money into billionaire pockets.
I was more thinking “The lane you’re supposed to be using is blocked by a bunch of parked cars”
