I sympathize, but I honestly think that anywhere that’s that car-dependent has reckless and aggressive drivers. It’s why I get so frustrated with drivers that insist that bike lanes, transit, etc. will make traffic worse - it would literally do the opposite by taking cars off the road.

Exactly!

How much is that as a percentage of the average monthly income, would you say?

It’s supposed to be for better or for worse. Lately it’s just been better if you’re a red state that refuses to invest in education and worse if you’re a blue state that actually generates money from your educated and well-paid citizens. Enough is enough.

Interesting that the drivers didn’t notice the “increased” speed limit. Either it wasn’t convincing or people don’t pay enough attention to speed limit signs. Probably the latter.

Sounds like an invitation to set up a new power company - I’m not sure how expensive electricity is in India but solar farms in rural areas are generally a good thing.

Can you imagine the increase in American literacy rates and decrease in emissions?

Because the former is legal, and the latter can be handwaved away.

Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you’re probably not going to get much money out of it.

While I like the comparison, that’s giving Theoden over there a lot of credit.

It doesn’t. Unless they’re talking about saving their passwords in Firefox, in which case it sounds like they’re not using a Mozilla account and their credentials aren’t synced.

Too many Americans celebrate ignorance, it’s depressing as fuck.

Papers, please.

As with most people in that position, they’ve been fucking over people for so long that they’re terrified of someone turning the tables on them. Hence gathering ungodly amounts of wealth and insulating themselves from the world.

Well, he claimed that his intent was to be a one-term President. Now we see that was a lie.

Intoxication? Do they mean indoctrination?

I should amend: if you’re there wilingly, it’s relatively progressive.

For the Middle East, it’s relatively progressive, from what I understand. That being said, that’s a low low bar.

I don’t know about truly NSFW, but I’ve known a few firehouses whose crew pose for calendar pictures and then use the proceeds for a party or expenses. Maybe call your local fire station?

What the hell, that sounds like an amazing day.
