What are you talking about? There are lots of roads with speed limits above 65. I was just legally driving 80mph. You have bad opinions and are objectively wrong.

Not around here there aren't.

The point is limiting top speed to 65 miles per hour is demonstrably fine, not that there aren't places where it's legal to drive faster than that at the ATM moment.

So your statement that it's illegal was wrong and lowering the limit to 65mph and putting governors on vehicles wouldnt actually improve road safety.

The posted speed limit is roughly that everywhere in North America except the west with long flat stretches of highway. The posted speed limit is a totally different thing from putting speed regulators on cars which is a broken idiot solution to traffic issues. Similarly being unable to conceive of situations where you would even briefly accelerate to pass someone is brokebrained and implies you have little experience actually driving on a highway. I’m imagining gripweed cruising along in a semi’s blind spot at 65 « I’m safe! »

You’re objectively wrong unless you’re not the goon that lives in Finland. Also, you don’t know how traffic flow works very well. I’ve been to Finland, people definitely speed except in the .1 mile before the speed cameras.

How about all cars have speed limiters built in that change the max speed the car can go based on the population density of the area they are currently in. If you'r eon the open highway between cities, you can go as fast as you want. But the closer you get to a population center the slower you can go. By the time you're actually in the middle of a major city, you can't drive over fifteen miles an hour.

It's pretty easy. We came up with trains like 200 years ago. Juts make more of them. Where you can't do trains, do buses. Boom, done, easy.

When I lived in NYC it was nice being able to take the subway anywhere, but less nice when you realized it would take a completely unpredictable but typically way too long amount of time. Or sometimes your R train would turn into a D train and drop you off in chinatown.

I solved climate change a long time ago. Change nothing and just move everyone away from the coasts and deserts until we colonize Mars or the moon or whatever.

I don't want to creep on you but I am fairly certain you live in Chicago because I remember you liking all the same teams my dad liked (he liked bad teams btw)

Assuming you are in Chicago, gently caress off with your long-term schemes to make your dumbass lake city relevant. No one wants your weird dogs or anything else. Lincoln wasn't even from there.

Ugh, I don't want anyone else coming here. Let my city slide gracefully into the rust belt like all the rest of the great lake cities in peace and quiet.

I still remember that Jason Siegel Muppet movie (remember that was a thing that happened) which spent its entire runtime insisting beyond insistence that the world needed classic Muppet Show antics again without ever once pausing to justify why our culture needed them. It was pure Gen-X masturbation. Bitch I grew up with Sesame, Fraggles, Muppet Babies, Muppet movies, and still cry like a bitch at certain songs about/by Henson and even I didn't like the loving Muppet Show reruns growing up.

The best part is when they show the Muppet Show 2.0 in the third act and the footage is intercut with shot inserts of generic happy parents and their kids gathering around a TV to watch like a loving marketing reel and literally no one bought it because the entire concept was over a 1/3rd of a century out of date.

Then some cokehead pitched "Muppets, but it's 30 Rock/The Office" and again no one bought it because literally no one wants that. No one wants anything from the core Muppet cast. Let them die. Go do more cool poo poo like Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

This is the same world in which loving Sesame Street has sold its first-run episodes to premium networks in a terrifying gentrification maneuver though, so "gently caress this gay earth" and all that.

Ketchup on hot dogs isn’t just ok- it tastes good.

Ketchup is also good on eggs, and in KD.

Ketchup chips are good.

All burgers can be dipped in ketchup, especially if you mix in hot sauce.

Ketchup is too sugary, but I'll allow it on french fries the few times a year I eat those. Would never buy it tho, Worcestershire, mustard, and various chili sauces are so much better.
