Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 posted:its a east/west thing. in philly you walk anywhere, anytime. in san francisco we were visiting and the guy is like, "wait dont cross yet!" and there were no cars in sight. Portland has the best pedestrian culture it’s almost mind boggling how prone for disaster we are here Driving culture is to stop for pedestrians at any unsignaled intersection, crosswalk or not, and I’d estimate from my many years of walking and jogging that you can count on traffic stopping to let you cross about 80% of the time, the vast majority of the time, but not 100% of the time You can see the problem, I’m sure

Drunk driving is such a weird phenomenon because most people will readily admit it’s bad but also the number of Americans who haven’t gotten behind the wheel after having too much is probably limited to people who have never had a drink and people who have never driven a car The number of people stopped and arrested for dui is probably a very small fraction of the number of people who actually get on the road drunk. There are people out there who do it on a near daily basis who never get caught or at least haven’t been caught yet. There are people who used to do it far more often than they’d care to admit but wised up and never drive drunk anymore, never to be caught Our entire legal system in basically every state has a parallel process for dui, that goes entirely differently than basically any other criminal matter, because if you started actually throwing people in prison for it you’d very quickly run out of space and also if you think staffing crisis is bad now, well yikes

The Voice of Labor posted:pizza was invented by the earl of pizzaballa when, during a card game, he desired a food item that could beeaten with one hand so that no one could look at his cards while he ate I love this story so much because there’s absolutely no way that many people hadn’t already landed on the sandwich concept but some rich guy does it and it gets trendy for other rich guys and ooh now we have an invention

I e said it before and I’ll say it again, the English with their extraneous u’s and their weird pronunciations and all the rest of it are probably the only people on this planet who don’t have a pass to mock Americans That includes Australians and Canadians btw

Weka posted:Dutch bros sounds like the sort of thing Americans would name a sex move It’s about the most American of coffee places, in that I’m not even 100% certain there’s an option to get a drink that isn’t 99% milk and sugar by volume I’ve never been but they’re usually parking lot kiosks with lines that snake out into and entirely disrupt traffic and afaict they’re drive up only
