That’s being a little purposely obtuse as that is obviously putting other drivers in danger. I mean that I shouldn’t have to worry about being pulled over if the radar gun says I’m driving the speed limit, obeying traffic laws, and driving a vehicle that is road legal and well maintained.

Yet an officer absolutely can pull me over and ruin my day and waste my time and money making me go to court over absolutely nothing and the absolute worst that can happen to them is a slap on the wrist if anything.

Idk I don’t think an officer should have the right to pull over a person driving the posted speed limit in clear weather with no other proximate reason but maybe I’m insane.

Where I’m from an officer can always pull you over for “reckless driving” or “impeding traffic”. The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go. These days I just stick to the literal posted speed (as long as road conditions and traffic allow) and I’ll let a lawyer defend me from any citations. I stay in the slow lane and am constantly getting passed but I’ll be damned before I get another ticket for going 6 over.

There’s literally no posts in the linked community but I’m happy to have been informed that the instance is a revival of Exploding Heads, an instance I have previously formed my own opinions on, as you suggest. Knowledge is power.

I have bad news for you: Nobody is here to fulfill your expectations.

Big Comfy Couch. :)

If you don’t understand that anyone you have a conversation with can and will tell other people then I don’t know how you tie your shoes.

“Aww we can’t say hateful things in DMs without worrying about it still getting out.” 😭😭😭😭

The article mentioned this ad format showed up in Waze first.

I’m using Voyager for Lemmy which doesn’t have ads or in app purchases.

I’m 33. Joined up during the APIcalypse and ensuing exodus from Reddit.

Now I feel old because my childhood was basically over before Reddit was born. Am I already old at 33? Gross!

Save WHAT? The gas station takes their bit so I can get to work. The grocery store takes their bit so I can eat to have energy to work, and so I can feed my child. The phone company takes their bit so my boss can keep in touch with me when they want to. The insurance companies take their bits so I can say that I’m insured and have the right to drive, and to put myself deeper in medical debt if anything goes wrong. The landlord takes his bit so I can have a roof over my head. Disney takes their bit so my kid can have her favorite movies and shows on demand because that’s one thing I can give her. And now my coin purse is empty until my employer gives me my bit again. Where do the savings come from, oh wise one?

According to the article, customers who had refunds of $10 or more that got delayed received payouts of at least $150 in addition to the fine so it seems like at least this time the customers were made whole.

My Spotify “family” is all over the place. They just all put in my address when they join and don’t have any problems. Just fyi for yourself or anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Oh awesome. Then you’re also going to charge the parents if their kid shoots up a school too, right? Right Tennessee?

Hey I didn’t say it was even a decent package!

“Off yourself by X date and your designated beneficiary will receive a payout equal to 5% of the expected healthcare costs of managing your condition until your inevitable agonizing death! Act now and we’ll throw in an additional funeral package at no cost!”

I’ve been to many a pump that instructs you to insert and leave your card, then ‘latches’ onto the card once you’ve inserted it, locking it into place until the authorization for the transaction is complete. I’ve seen them in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana.

I wonder if they’re prepared for Microsoft’s lawyers to come knocking when they find out their screen space is being highjacked by another company for profit…
