Whether it’s you breaking or the car doesn’t matter. The person behind you sees break lights and reacts.
If it’s the car reacting before you, less braking will be required and the likelihood of rapid deceleration due to hitting the car in front of you decreases.
Both of those things give the person behind you more time.
The planet is great. It’s the fucking occupants that are a problem.
I make a little more than double the cap. I’m in favor of increasing or eliminating the cap but that would double my check in the future. (Not quite, I haven’t made double the cap my entire working life, but it would increase it a lot.) That would still help a bit because not all of our withholdings go to basic social security. Some goes to disability, spousal benefits, etc. Increasing taxes and benefits proportionally, which is the way benefits are structured now, doesn’t solve anything.
I believe social security has a lot of value so I’m in favor of not just fixing the funding, but expanding it as well. But if you want to make it healthier just with payroll taxes they would have to be progressive, like income tax, without increasing benefits.
Bilbo is rich and Frodo is a nepobaby.
Exactly, charge me what you need to to pay your employees what their worth.
Shit, I’d take paying them enough to go back to the way it was before anything less than 20% was taking food out of the server’s mouth. 0% fuck you I’m never coming back. ~5% substandard. 10-12% acceptable. 15-20% excellent.
That’s better. I guess the Aristotle helped with making coherent arguments.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Yes, I did read it. I’m going to need a source that says he was quoting Diogenes of Sinope and not one of the other “pretty much all of the famous Greek philosophers”.
Maybe you should brush up on basic logic with Aristotle.
I like how you included fuck with the modes of transportation. Now I’m imagining some sort of tricycle or quadcycle that harnesses thrusting motion to propel you.
I agree it will take him some time, maybe not quite as much as you think, but my point was I don’t think anyone else could even get there. Even Regan had limits in what the faithful would put up with, he wasn’t teflon. But no matter what Trump does, the MAGAts will support him and the moderate republicans, if there is such a thing anymore, will go along to avoid earning their wrath.
There is only one caveat I can think of. Trump can do anything without losing MAGAt support, but he can’t say anything. There have been scattered instances of Trump saying something that deviated from the MAGA ethos and actually getting booed. He can still do the things that would get him booed but say he’s doing the exact opposite and those morons will never question it. He just has to keep assuring his cult he’s hurting the people they hate.
As long as he keeps tossing red meat to those hateful scumbags by abusing our most vulnerable fellow citizens and increasing oppressive efforts on other groups they hate, they will cheer any and every thing he does even as they’re being herded into forced labor ghettos.
The difference is republican voters gargle his balls to an extent I’ve never seen, not even with Regan. The whole thing about being able to shoot someone on fifth avenue might be the truest thing he’s ever said.
What this means is, with the help of a willing Congress he can do anything. Even things previous republican presidents couldn’t without losing support for themselves and their lackeys in Congress. Republicans in purple districts couldn’t pass just anything and expect to get reelected, but with Trump taking the lead you hardly even hear about individual representatives so they’re willing to vote for some crazy shit.
He can feed them shit and call it caviar all day, every day. Republican voters will eat it up and never question it no matter how much it harms them.
Republicans always do this to some extent, but usually there is a limit.
Trump has no limits.
Not only is decriminalization not legalization, even if something is legal your employer can prohibit it as a condition of employment.
I can guarantee you, even if marijuana is completely legal tomorrow and available in every 7-11 I’ll be fired for testing positive, and for good reason. At least the reasons are good for me, for a lot of other jobs drug testing is bullshit.
While they do seem to be pro Ukraine, that’s not their raison d’être.
They’re just a national defense/defense industry shitpost community with what seems like a genuine appreciation for cool vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment, even if most of them would prefer that equipment was never used for its intended purpose. Credible defense was for serious military posting on Reddit, but I don’t think there is a lemmy community for that.
Right now a lot of that equipment is being used in Ukraine so a lot of posts reference it.
Edit: Also, Russia is currently providing a lot of fodder for shitposts.
I suppose you could bake a brownie sphere in microgravity. That might be hard to get the center cooked without burning the surface though. Maybe a metal ball as a pan that you could coat with batter.
Waiting for the hexbears to chime in with critical support for Tucker.
You’re missing the bottom row of dark hands. Please fix this before I spend all day thinking about it.
It also wouldn’t hurt to change the font size on “this” so the middle row doesn’t bulge out.
Just make sure you finish on the Bach. Never finish on Debussy.
