Huh. I guess conservatives are going all in on speed limit laws
Someone just needs to explain to Republicans that eliminating speed limit laws means cops will have fewer opportunities to harass, imprison, and murder black people on falsified accusations without social or legal repercussion. They'll come around.

Though funny enough, I'm on their side on this one. Over-enforcing speed limits (at the cost of other, more impactful forms of policing) has just become a loophole for municipal, county, and state governments to compensate for budget shortfalls. It's little more than a backdoor regressive taxation scheme at this point. Of course that's a problem Republicans also created through starve-the-beast bullshit, but that's neither here nor there.

My opinion is to raise speed limits, but increase criminal penalties for violating them. In other words, eliminate minor instances of speeding as an infraction for which the penalty is a fine -- then cops can't ticket-whore to meet arbitrary quotas, which aren't set in accordance to safety needs but rather governmental fiscal desires.

What was it Tywin Lannister said? "A man who must say he is the king, is no king". Something like that.
This particular "king" definitely needs to let people know exactly what he's the king of so less people with common sense buy into him.

Now, let's not smear the good name of Arius by comparing him to Tate.:)
True. Arius nor Arkham have somewhat better standards than Tate. At best potatoes is a disposable pawn for either of those two. Though Arkham is almost as pathetic as Tate when you stop and think about it.

The exact quote from A Storm of Swords is "And any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king at all", when Tywin attempts to counsel his aggressively assertive grandson Joffrey.

A funny event in anti woke world is the latest crime by the Republican party. They kicked George Santos out of the House. This despite Santos being a former president, a WW2 veteran, an astronaut and the guy who created the covid vaccine. Just what are they thinking.

Oi, shame on you for neglecting to mention his other accolades.

Owner of a 6090Ti. Four touchdowns at Polk High. Played as Akuma in Resi Evil 2. Inventor of the question mark? Giraffe whisperer. Sixth Power Ranger. Revolutionar War hero.

Also, very important, but is the baby taking over his seat util the next elections?

Heard he was the only survivor of that submersible that imploded, can hold his breath for longer than Kate Winslet.

police body cams never cease to be absolutely necessary, one of the most important evolutions in direction of transparency and properly informed democracy
Honestly, the last one just seemed like an otherwise good-faith dumb fuckup. The cop went too far in cuffing the kid and putting him in the back of the squad car, but otherwise the interaction seemed to go well enough. The cop was listening to the kid, wanted to see the bill of sale, and get the information on the actual thief, so it was clear he just wasn't just being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole -- he seemed legitimately ignorant of the difference between custody and detention when dealing with juvies. That's on that cop's trainers, not the cop.

The other instances in the video? Fuck 'em.

"If you're ever in an argument with an another car, you will win."

You will also be dead due to your flimsy human neck snapping like a twig from deceleration force, but winning is winning I guess.
One wonders at the result of such a disagreement with a tree or telegraph pole. I used to think vehicles without crumple zones being wrapped around them was a figure of speech.

Wanting to stay alive rather than winning sounds like loser talk!

Seriously can people stop pretending that Musk is smart now? It's obvious he doesn't understand basic physics; he thought it was a smart idea to launch a rocket from over concrete.
