People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Yeah, it looks like the guy tore a hole in his oil pan by driving over that metal thingy.

Luckily that thirty feet or so isn't enough time for the oil to fully drain and cause engine damage, provided he shut the car down as quickly as possible. It'll be an irritating repair, but replacing the oil pan and oil is a hell of a lot cheaper than scrapping the engine because a piston seized.

Like this guy for instance

I know the driver was a bit old and slow but how do you live your whole life and be such a bad communicator as that motorcyclist. "You don't need to drive your car." What's the dude supposed to say to that. "Your oil your oil." He didn't once say the car was damaged. Stop now. Anything.

I know US cops are cowards and incompetents who shouldn't be allowed to have guns in the first place but it's actually possible to train to shoot to try to minimize the chance of killing people.

You know how some people are like, just inherently really good teachers? They're much better than the average person at explaining complicated ideas in a simple way, helping the layman grasp a difficult concept?

Well logically there have to be people out there who are the opposite of that.

There at least used to be a two story McDonald's in Charlotte. I remember it was a treat for us to go there when we were in town visiting my grandparents when I was a kid.

I don't live in the US. In Finland someone has to actually attack you before you can defend yourself, and any defense must be proportional to the threat, and be immediately stopped if the attack stops. Shooting someone who breaks in to your house brandishing a knife is not allowed for example, because a gun is a disproportional defense compared to the knife.

Several states here in the US make it illegal to stop your own murder too.

Fighting game playerbases have some seriously hosed up people in them. There was a scandal a few years back where a player was banned form most tournaments for beating his girlfriend. And one infamous instance had a guy let a Smash player crash at his place and he caught the dude masturbating into the sleeping bag he lent him.

The schad is kind of on the public of Victoria because they're spending $1.2 million of our money to put up a whole bunch of high-tech poo poo that crank-ed up truck drivers are going to keep ignoring.

Yeah, as soon as I read "every time someone hits the bridge they have to stop the railway line for testing" I thought "why don't they put a big gently caress-off solid gantry six feet in front of and six inches lower than the bridge, so that the bridge is safe and we have another delicious can-opener to produce thread content?
