What is your area? I’ve lived in about 20 US states, in cities and rural areas, and it’s always been 1 cop per vehicle.

You’re thinking of cop shows from the '70s and '80s, not reality.

I don’t want to be the guy defending Hitler or Jeffery Dahmer, but

I’m a school bus driver and I regularly get infuriated by people who drive past me when I have my red flashers on and stop sign out, wishing there was a cop around. Only once so far have I gotten my wish … and unfortunately it was the cop driving past me at 40 mph just as some of my kids were about to cross the road. I looked down and saw him with his phone in his right hand and his left hand on the wheel, not paying the slightest attention to what was in front of him.

I’m lucky he didn’t run over any kids, because I probably would have gotten shot.

They make money by taking your money up front and then paying you back as little as possible at a later date.

That’s not entirely the case. Typically, there is a lag (of a few years) between the payment of premiums and the paying out of claims. Insurance companies invest the premiums in the meantime and profit off the interest/gains from these investments (called the “float”). Well-run (and well-invested) insurers can actually collect less in premiums than they pay out in claims and still be profitable.

Apparently, jury nullification nullification is also a thing.

What happens when someone finally pulls down the pants of the bully; humiliates him in a crowd of people? That’s right. His followers, that group of laughing Hyenas that follow him around, start to ditch.

You’re describing '80s movies here. In reality, the bullies mostly just go off to college and get great jobs in finance. Or become cops in LA - which is what my personal high school bully did.

The wood I linked I’m just using to frame out the cabinets themselves. It would be much too crappy to make the doors out of, although I probably would have considered it if I hadn’t found a full kitchen’s worth of good-quality cabinet doors on Craigslist for $250.

This stuff, definitely not fancy at all - in fact barely acceptable for cabinetry. I don’t know where you’re getting your wood, but you can’t get 12" wide 3/4" planks for anything close to a buck fifty a foot where I live. This is the closest thing to it at Lowe’s, and it’s absolute garbage, full of knots, badly warped and not even an actual foot wide. Even poplar would be more than twice as much for 6’ boards, and oak would be three times as much. The manufactured stuff I listed is at least straight and unwarped and it’s a full 12" wide.

I’m in the middle of building new cabinets for my kitchen and I was freaking out over what the wood I’m using costs (about $25 for each 8’x1’ plank) until I priced even the shittiest prebuilt cabinets at Lowe’s. Holy fuck those things are expensive, and they’re just shitty pressboard.

the same cheap shitty grey vinyl flooring

I have never in my life hated a house product more than this shit - and I grew up in the ‘70s surrounded by the fake wood paneling and the nasty shag carpets. I don’t even understand what that flooring is trying to emulate. No real wood is light gray and comes in 6" x 3’ planks.

I’ve been renovating a house since last year that has that shit in the living room and I’ve intentionally left it uncovered the whole time in the hopes of fucking it up so bad that I’m forced to replace it, but unfortunately it is extremely durable.

I drive a school bus and it’s depressing how excited elementary and middle-school kids get when they see a cybertruck. Shit, they still get excited when they see a tesla and those things are everywhere.

My favorite thing is when archaeologists dig up female statues with big breasts and wide hips and call them evidence for a “cult of fertility”. I guess that sounds more sciencey than “porn”.

Drag trolls does drag.

“This is an absurd accusation. We make money by employing children and undocumented immigrants and violating safety standards, not by colluding on prices.” -US meat industry

As Bloom County advised: “don’t step in the leadership”.

I’ll bet there were green peppers on the free steaks.

It’s pretty hilarious that Republicans want to get rid of undocumented immigrants when our food and shelter are literally dependent on them. Apparently food and shelter are not that important.
