People say this all the time, and I’ve never seen any kind of proof, either.
The only thing people point to is one area in a Houston suburb where they installed red light cameras, and people were so scared of running the lights, they would stop short in the yellow, resulting in more rear end accidents. Hardly a compelling reason to be against these cameras nationwide.

The Internet immediately worked, which is one big difference. The dot com financial bubble has nothing to do with the functionality of the internet.
In this case, there is both a financial bubble, and a “product” that doesn’t really work, and which they can’t make any better (as he admits in this article.)
It was obvious from day 1 how useful the Internet would be. Email alone was revolutionary. We are still trying to figure out what the real uses for LLM are. There appear to be some valid use cases outside of creating spam and plagiarizing other people’s work, but it doesn’t appear to be any kind of revolutionary technology.
I mean, he makes the rounds in the right wing grift-o-sphere somewhat regularly, has huge name recognition, and likely a very positive q score among maga types.
He probably doesn’t need any leftist outrage to win a primary in the right district.
I’m saying that you can’t use scotch guard or anything like that.
It’s been a while, but I don’t believe that they were allowed to use cardboard or anything of the sort to prop up or modify the appearance of the product. Instead, they would cook say 100 burger patties, go through dozens of heads of lettuce, slice 100 tomatoes, etc, and pick out the perfect pieces to make a burger that looks the way that they want.
The most that they could adulterate the food was to make a slurry with corn starch, water, and food dye that could be applied with a paint brush to make things look juicy, etc. They would use a clothes steamer to make a pizza look just right. Lots of tricks, but it had to be something that you could just pick up and eat, even if you wouldn’t necessarily want to.
The reality is that the plan is to appoint somebody to head the DOJ who will both enforce the Comstock act, and classify birth control as “abortion causing materials.”
The Comstock act makes it illegal to “mail” abortion causing materials, which could be interrupted to include medical supplies used in abortions, birth control, the Plan B pill, possibly even other medications that have the mere potential to cause miscarriage. This would make it nearly impossible to perform abortions or access birth control in states where they are still legal, all while still technically adhering to the holy “state’s rights” scripture.
I mean, just lock up the nitrous chargers. Put them in the office or the liquor room or whatever. They don’t need to be kept in the walk-in.
If this manager is buying readi-whip or any other pre-made whipped cream canisters, they deserve to be fired from both a culinary and business standpoint. (I don’t think those kinds of canisters need to be kept refrigerated anyway.)
Still gotta keep pointing it out. The goal of these people is to normalize their shittiness, so you need to keep saying, “this isn’t normal, these people are whack as fuck.”
The biggest problem is that it’s classed as a civil issue, not a crime.
I steal from my employer: they call cops, I go to jail. Very simple.
My employer steals from my paycheck: I have to call a lawyer, they have to agree to take my case, we have to sue, employer produces fake payroll documents, I better have proof of what my real pay should have been, we have to go to mediation, figures are exchanged, employer claims they can’t pay the full amount without going bankrupt, have to take a settlement, lawyer takes at least a third of that. Big pain in the ass, no guarantee you’ll see a dime. Even if employer pays you back, they can go right back to screwing the rest of their employees over.
Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he’s The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, “hey, our company is basically brand new, we’re still working out some kinks.”
Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there’s no need to try to reinvent it.
I’m surprised that they haven’t released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.
It’s very frustrating. Here in Ohio, there was a maybe bribery scandal on a bailout for two energy companies. The former house speaker and one or two other legislators got prison sentences.
The bailout stayed in place, however, and all Ohioans are stuck paying an extra $50 a month, just for having a fossil gas line active. If you have a gas stove, water heater, or furnace, it’s fifty bucks a month just to be able to use them, plus whatever you actually use on top of that.
I have a regular who I have to periodically remind not to play what I call “novelty songs.”
It’s like, “Sarge, I know that you genuinely want to listen to Monster Mash, followed by four different James Bond movie theme songs, but you’re killing the vibe here.”
The ironic thing is that the show Seinfeld was more like IASIP than Friends, in that the characters were mostly shitty people, and the joke was usually on them (even though they similarly often destroyed the lives of people around them.)
Tyson announced several months ago that they were cutting back supply, just so that they could charge more. They’re one of, if not the largest chicken supplier (and they are fully vertically integrated) in NA, so them raising prices affects prices across the board.
Prepare for more pain as bird flu seems to be spreading in US cattle populations.
Kinda. These people like hierarchy, partially because then they know exactly where everybody stands. They of course don’t want to be at the very bottom, but understand that they won’t be at the top, either.
I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean. How do you train a dog to be a therapy dog for another animal?
These dogs are companion animals for the cheetahs. They grow up together, and share a strong bond because they think of themselves as litter mates. They end up well trained, sure, because they live around staff at zoos who are professional animal handlers, but the relationship between the animals is pretty much the same as two puppies or two cheetahs that were raised together; if you adopted two puppies from different litters the same week, and raised them together, would you think of one of them as a therapy dog for the other?
Chicago Police Department leaders said Thursday they have decided not to punish any officers whose names appeared on the leaked membership list of the Oath Keepers, an anti-government extremist group that played a key role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol....
Because the unite the right march was explicitly about white supremacism? You think there were some “very fine people” marching around and chanting, “Jews will not replace us”?
Spoiler: there weren’t.
I’ve never seen footage of a group of Nazis marching around and thought, “I bet some of those dudes are actually pretty alright.” That’s also not something I want my presidents thinking.
Overall, it shows union rates being mostly a wash in 2023, but that’s due to a large increase in total jobs that year; raw number of members went up, rate slightly declined. Black workers made up almost the entire grid increase.
The point that maybe relates most to what OP was saying:
These statistics don’t capture the number of workers who want to join unions. Evidence suggests that in 2023, more than 60 million workers wanted to join a union but couldn’t do so.
The goal is to create chaos, so that when Trump declare himself the victor on election night (which he will, no matter what the results will look like) it seems credulous to his base.
Then lawsuits will follow, with possibly some state legislatures declaring Trump the winner despite him actually losing the vote in their state.
