It’s all been downhill since Florida rigged the election for Bush in 2000.

I like how Invincible addresses this. He tries to save people but it always ends disastrously because normal people break really easily when handled by someone with super strength and speed. His best bet is to take out the villain that is the source of danger.

Harrison Bergeron? Who’s ever heard of that? Aston’s career was launched by his role as an action hero in “Icebreaker”.

I was sceptical too but have you seen how ripped she is lately? !

I already did

At least in my state school zone speed limits only apply on school days/hours. The rules should only apply when they are meant to apply.

Call it dumb all you want, but it’s true.

Poloticians don’t see this as a problem to solve. They see it as the solution to holes in their budget.

Any ticket that is a flat cost is a regressive tax. I think we both know that income based tickets would never fly in the US.

That’s a great policy California has to limit local government from using it as revenue generation, but it far from normal. I’m in Chicago and we don’t have anything like that.

Chicago speed cameras issued $90.9 million worth of tickets and fees to drivers in 2024, handing motorists a fine every 24 seconds for a total of 1.84 million violations.

That link title should be self-explanatory.

You assume that the system is fair. It isn’t. Its rigged to generate revenue. I’ve gotten automated tickets for legally turning right on a red light. My city got busted a few years back for shortening yellow lights just so they could give more tickets. Now they are adding speed traps to any road that is vaguely close to a school or park that will ticket you even if it is the middle of the night on a Saturday where no kids should be around anyway.

In theory these are good for safety. In practice they are revenue generating machines for local government and a regressive tax on the poor.

No, thw rounded corners of the intersection

Cars would be hitting and driving over those 4 lens shaped bits of curb all day.

I’m sure he would happily give up Alaska to his Russian buddies

Correction - Has led, is leading, and will lead…

A large band around the equator will become unsurvivable. Hundreds of millions of people will flee to cooler climates. Countries will already be straining to provide food and water for their people. This will lead to wars for resources. Nations with nuclear capabilities will fracture and collapse, leaving their weapons in the hands of warlords and despots. Pandemics like COVID will become increasingly more common, not just for humans but for our livestock and crops. I hope you are right, but then again 5 billion might be a conservative estimate.

This is true for a lot of forager type animals. Chickens will kill and eat mice if they can. I’ve even seen videos of horses snacking on baby chickens.

We are just beginning to understand how much the chemical Imbalances that lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders originate in the digestive tract and how microplastics from food may disrupt the processing of these chemicals.
