  • Just a short while ago I was invited to dinner at a friend's. Wouldn't you know it -- rounded couch. Immediately called CPS and got their kids sent somewhere they can have a chance at a decent upbringing.

  • This one?

    I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

    Nothing in here about never attacking anyone, unfortunately. But even if there were, they forget these words about three seconds after saying them.

  • Yeah exactly. Even in jest I loathe this unquestioned impulse to punish the offender without any thought to collateral. This driver's primary offense is being oblivious to their impact on others -- what message is sent if the reaction is just as oblivious?

    Okay I'm done policing morals.

  • I know we're being hyperbolic here but hard disagree -- how awful would that be for everyone on-board? And absolutely not worth the damage to public infrastructure. There's an established procedure for dealing with blockages, and I hope that process irreparably damages the truck and results in a hefty fine for the owner

  • I wonder if jail just seemed like a better alternative than continued homelessness. I've never had to choose between the two so I have no idea, but depending on the weather and the last time I ate, a victimless crime such as this would be a good way to get there.

  • I recommend a countertop portable induction burner if you're not ready to get a whole new stove yet. It worked out very well for me, but I generally only need one burner and my favorite pans are induction-friendly.
