freelance jackass since 1987; pronouns are irrelevant because labels are made up. I like free speech more than you.
been trying to figure out my dental insurance for literal months and I still don't understand it

man Rocco doesn't deserve this slander lmao

eh, what are follow-ups anyway
December 17, 2025 at 8:05 AM
that's because you care more about solving problems "the right way" than about solving them at all

and also you don't think the actions of Brian Thompson and his ilk are problems. these are obvious conclusions from your words.
December 15, 2025 at 4:23 AM
sorry bud, I'm not able to hear you over the sound of you being wrong about everything you've said so far
December 15, 2025 at 4:19 AM
you'll note that it's still putting words into other people's mouths, and it's still trying to derail a conversation to one you think is better for you

you're still wrong, but that's all right. you're allowed to be.
December 15, 2025 at 4:15 AM
no one said this. you made it up.
December 15, 2025 at 4:05 AM
you're lying about what other people are saying
December 15, 2025 at 2:55 AM
you're making up a guy to get mad at and wondering why nobody else is mad at the guy that doesn't exist
December 15, 2025 at 2:50 AM
why are you putting words in other people's mouths in this way
December 15, 2025 at 2:34 AM
so you don't live anywhere where weather happens, I understand that

why does everyone think that their perfect scenario is the only one that can exist?
December 14, 2025 at 3:07 PM
hey look, a bad faith response that assumes the worst case scenario and that every mitigation will fail

how come you get to do that but I don't

actually wait don't answer

actually if we're talking making changes that actually help, they wouldn't be cops, they'd be strictly traffic enforcement with no broad police powers. unless you'd argue that we shouldn't have traffic enforcement at all, I see no reason not to employ more people to do the necessary parts of the job
December 14, 2025 at 4:59 AM
again I ask, this means we should add more of them?
December 14, 2025 at 4:37 AM
I can think of reasons why they're useful to have around, the unfortunate part is I can also think of very real situations where they would be abused, given real life incidents.

kind of sucks to live in the good old us of a right now

I prefer actually having to do something wrong before having the government violate my privacy unjustly

tbh I'm not sure why those aren't here yet; we have the digital price signs in the grocery stores now, it feels like it ain't too far out
December 14, 2025 at 3:49 AM
I do too. it won't happen, and at some point all you can do is decide between forcing compliance through mechanical means (what is under discussion) or coercing it through the threat of punishment

1. a speed limit wouldn't need to be dynamic for this to work as described;
2. every school zone is by definition, but I'm not sure if it's in use elsewhere
