I get angry because of frustration about things beyond my control that impact me negatively and can’t simply be ignored. Knowing that extra step is great and all, but doesn’t reduce the frustration or the anger. I’m sure that identifying the difference is helpful to some people who can ignore or address the actual cause of their anger.

Note: I don’t get angry about frustrating things that I can do something about, or can be ignored.

Calm down.

Candyman and Bloody Mary only work if you believe :P

If they didn’t do it they get the same ‘not guilty’ verdict, so what is the recourse for someone who was falsely charged?

I am specifically thinking of the US where there are a lot of black men falsely convicted of violent crimes they did not commit because of racist eye witness testimony or even victims who blame a random black person to avoid social stigma and prosecutors who want higher conviction rates.

Not to mention that not everyone has fingers.

Yeah, it seemed cliche to me. Maybe it surprised some people because it wasn’t a thing in Disney movies?

It’s funny people talking about how things are done in the U.S. and giving different answers.

Yeah, different states have different requirements and processes.

In Kansas, when I got my original license in the 90s it cost like $60 total to get the first one and ever since it has been somewhere between 10-30 or so to renew every 6ish years or something. Originally you had to take a written test that you could fill in at home. Just ridiculously cheap and no real barriers. We also don’t have any kind of emissions requirements for non-commercial vehicles. The lax requirements for driving and emissions is probably the result of the farming lobby.

Spittin’ words of wisdom right there.

That was my experience as a boy and now a man. It isn’t inherently a negative thing because it is shorthand for expectations, but it becomes absolutely horrible when people try to force it on others instead of acknowledging that gender roles are generalizations and not written in stone.

Why not both?

Pretty sure they got bought out around 2010ish which is when they went to complete shit.

An electric one, as in with a motor, is more consistent since you just need to move it at a steady pace. Plus it can do multiple directions at the same time and get in the nooks and crannies a little better. Not a ton better, just a bit.

Anything beyond an electric motor with an on/off switch adds nothing.

Fuck the GOP, hope they all get pancreatic cancer.

Irrelevant to the unwashed masses.

The speed of light is the speed of information, including gravity, electromagnetism, and some other things I am not thinking of off the top of my head. For example, if the sun disappeared right now, the lack of gravitational pull would reach Earth at the same time as it blinked out from Earth’s perspective.

It really doesn’t matter because short of being in a publicallt visible leadership position it will never be enough.

Join rallies, but anonymously? Doesn’t count.

Attended a rally openly but no one took a picture? Doesn’t count.

Told one person? Not enough witnesses.

Told multiple friends? Just covering for you.

Decided this week based on an experience, but no rallies or groups doing scheduled stuff? Doesn’t count.

Publicly attended 3 rallies over the last few months? Just doing it to avoid getting drafted, doesn’t count because it wasn’t long enough prior.

How long does someone need to have a belief before it counts?

Can’t hold a moral stance without shouting it at everyone around you!

When Netflix was under $10 I stopped pirating and just watched stuff on Netflix because it was worth it for the convenience at the price point.

That is how they solve piracy. Everything they have been doing over the last couple of years is the reason for the increase in piracy.
