We can address the problems with policing without letting drunk drivers have free range of the road. Drunk drivers also murder innocent people.

No one has ever offered to play battle shits with you?

Many adults can see over the roof of a parked prius to cross a street, many of those same adults cannot see over the truck the same way. This makes the truck more dangerous just by being parked on the street, no driver needed.

A lot of the time the truck is put on a lift and the part is dropped out from under it. Removing body off frame is a ton of work, no one is doing it unless they absoultely have to

Technically they aren't that badly sized. You don't want the whole wheel well filled with the tire, it needs room to move around. If they were ever to go offroading they would have plenty of room without their tires scraping against the body of the truck, although this pavement princess probably never sees dirt.

Not 10 miles at 2 am seeing double. And even if they could some wont. Alcohol does this thing where it makes your brain bad at decision making.

Sometimes you really gotta ask it to downshift by pushing the pedal down then most follow through with high speed cause they are worried to lose it. Way easier to just start in a good gear.

Manual transmissions were better for this stuff too. You can pick a lower gear with more torque to give you power to get up the hill without high speed. Most automatic transmissions can let you force a specific gear as well but many people don't know how to use that function of their car, which can partially be blamed on poor driver education.

I used to be a burglar like him, until I took a bullet to the knee

So common to see the rear wheels past the stop line. I wish cops would at least give out warnings to reduce this habit. Its so normalized most don't even realize to stop before the line.

My uncle got like 5 DUIs in a similar area in a similar car so my experience is different than yours. Most drunk drivers are not easy to reason with

We dont deserve this planet. Since i was a child some of the smarter teachers had told me, climate change and garbage are going to be our biggest issues. I was so naive I thought governments would seriously try to fix it. Instead today I see products like disposable vapes with a touchscreen and bluetooth. Just throw it in the gutter when it is empty and keep spending money.

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
