    And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.

    That’s actually if you’re lucky my dude.

    If you’re really really unlucky then you slam your truck into a minivan full of kids on their way to school and kill them all because you decided to drive through a layer of Vaseline ice on your windshield and endanger everyone else around you.


  • My rebuttal is that it’s simply unreliable to ask random faculty members to tell you the truth about things that make their school look bad.

    That’s not unreasonable, even for yes, this huge liberal hippie.

    “We called each school multiple times for 3 months” tells me absolutely nothing. It could have been two calls, it could have been two thousand, but they are extremely short on details for some reason.

    And since they outsourced it to a third party it adds another layer of obfuscation that makes it difficult to answer anything.

    And finally, the way they settled on not being able to confirm or deny most of the shootings, but still phrased it as if kids shooting each other at school wasn’t a big deal. Like, seriously?

    I’m very disappointed in the author of this NPR article, which usually does their due diligence on these issues.




  • Yeah! Fuck the environment when your car wants to track which apps you use on it!

    *Edit: Lol you guys would be hilarious if the climate situation wasn’t so dire.

    Is it better for the environment to drive an old car?

    In conclusion, buying a used car may avoid the carbon emissions of manufacturing a new one – but you should also bear in mind the lower fuel economy, higher exhaust emissions, and ongoing maintenance requirements.

    So no, it’s not always better to just drive a leaky piece of shit forever instead of upgrading. The car you’re buying has already been made, it’s carbon been produced, and now you’re generating less emissions with the newer more efficient vehicle. This is pretty simple stuff to keep in mind next time you want to act smug about smog.
