I'm sure we could name 50 high-profile ones. Jonesboro, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Parkland...the list goes on.

Dude just described half my neighbors. Except it's hard to tell how miserable the wives look because they're always wearing those huge sunglasses.

What? No. The president has a "gas price" lever that they start turning down a month and a half before an election. As always.

Most cars have recalls, usually for benign shit. My Honda had to go in for a fuel pump. Now it needs to go in for some infotainment cable. I'm pretty sure there were a couple others, too.

5 in a year is a lot though. Even for a new model.

Yeah do I really need a searchable archive of FlyingSquid scratching his ass?

Actually. Yeah, sign me up.

I shave my head, but I still refer to myself as a natural bald.

The executive isn't supposed to be wielding power unilaterally. What the president does now, with executive orders and signing statements and line-item veto, is massive overreach.

In a properly functioning democracy, the president delegates authority over most everything to trusted advisors (i.e. head of FCC, or DEA, or what have you) who are placed in that position because they have demonstrated both great political/leadership skills, and appropriate knowledge of the area they are governing. The president still has the final say-so in the form of veto power, but that's pretty much it.

But farmers can give massive doses to their herds as a prophylactic, and that's totally fine?

Not sure if true or gaslighting.

500 carjackings in NYC in a year? Oh the humanity.

There's literally a million cars on the road on any given day just in lower Manhattan.

Get a sense of scale.

10k pedestrians get hit by cars and trucks in NYC every year and you're worried about the health and safety of 500 carjackers (probably fewer, given potential for repeat offenders). What in the actual fuck?

The bumper...I don't know what it's called...that little clip with the snow that fades in and reveals the logo.

It's terrible.

For one, a lot of people actually don't know what TV static is. Analog broadcasts stopped almost 16 years ago, and before that, most younger people had cable.

For another, static is really difficult to compress. It looks horrible and consumes way too much bandwidth for just a couple of seconds that won't even load right. If anything, they should cache a local copy of the bumper in-app in a format that doesn't look like ass when every pixel changes every frame.
