  • Someone might weasel out of ticket/fine/jail whatever so we shouldn’t bother?

    That is the most shit excuse to not make laws.

    I was passed by a pickup in a 100 zone… that guy had to be doing 120 at least. I guess since he wasn’t caught we should just cancel all speed limit laws?

    Come on… try not to be so pessimistic. It’s not about saving every single person, it’s about trying to statistically get things better for more people overall.




  • You’re overthinking this - perfect is the enemy of good and all that. The automobile manufacturer would bear this responsibility. The scale of the problem is very different when the object is the size of a car and has to go through a huge regulatory process in order to be sold in the country in the first place.

    Just because it’s hard to enforce laws for a small instance in a grey market doesn’t mean it’s still not useful.

    I remember seeing a sign on a wall in one office that explained this. Makes way more sense knowing that.

    I can’t say I’ve had this particular conversation with a doctor (or ever will) but all this said, I’ve also had some real arseholes for doctors. A little compassion and even a quick explanation goes a long way.

    There is a big difference between not understanding something and never being taught in the first place.



  • This is a great thread. I’ll add Jesse.

    Jesse is there to hang out with his buddies and wants to just BS.

    The game is just common ground for a Jesse or group of Jesse’s to shoot the shit for an hour or two at the end of a long day. Previous generation would find your Jesse hanging out at the bar, or sports ball games. Jesse’s really started appearing in games en masse during covid. They aren’t necessarily good at the game, often bad, but that doesn’t matter.

    My gaming group are all Jesse’s.
