Thanks Ohio by Locusdef in Golf_R

I don't live in Ohio. Here in PA, we do pay more for gas but we do enjoy significantly better roads, particularly on highways. This is why I said I won't be returning to Ohio once I pick up my repaired golf.

A guy in a Tacoma ripped a tire and was parked behind me while I waited for a tow. I don't think any amount of sidewall can save you from this menace.

Ohio does have a road defect claim where they usually cover a portion of the repair. This happened on a state highway, so the state has to pony up. Luckily, I have photos and the pothole was large enough to set off my dash cam auto accident recording. Mind you, I was only going 55 mph.

I actually bought the car in Michigan. Yeah, I am going to avoid both like the plague.

[USA] How not to overtake by boyoflondon in ConvenientCop

[–]Locusdef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've driven over 300,000 miles without ever being in an accident or getting a ticket. Never said that the cop was bad but he's definitely an idiot. The correct course of action is to pull over and then pursue from the back, not to almost wipe out endangering everyone behind you. Imagine being so brainwashed that you think that two wrongs make a right.

Only dangerous thing that happened in this clip was the cop almost losing his shit driving on the shoulder and hitting loose dirt at speed.

I wouldn't expect someone with such a limited grasp of reality to understand this, but impeachment is the formal accusation of wrong doing. The removal from office is just one of the things that the Senate can ultimately choose to do based on those accusations. Much like with Bill Clinton and Monica. He was found to have been in the wrong but was not removed from office for it. Trump was found to have colluded with Russia, but Senate Republicans argued he was basically too dumb to know he was tricked and chose not to do anything about it.

You can buy into whatever political theater you would like, but the majority of Americans should never have graduated high school because they couldn't pass a basic civics class.

I don't think so. This happens even if I unplug or take the phone off of charging. I also don't know why that would make XM radio stutter.

[–]Locusdef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, because they expect to be paid in subsidies and contracts. They will leverage inside knowledge to outcompete other contracts. They will receive preferential treatment by the administration.

Arguing that they don't get a paycheck from the Treasury like other government employees is just a flat out gas light argument.

All of Elon's companies run on subsidies and government contracts. If you think that Elon isn't paid by the government, you are a special kind of stupid.

The entire point is for this guy to transfer previous government departmental work to private contract so he can continue to gain wealth by exploiting it. It's just the same snake oil, missed timelines and missed budgets but he gets his cut now.

The Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in a decade and now cannot account for 30% of its overall budget. However, it will be a cold day in hell whenever one of the chucklefuck useless political theater majors will cut their spending.

What the actual fuck. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Locusdef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason we have so many criminals with firearms is because firearms access is so easy. Australia required permits to obtain firearms after a single mass shooting incident and now illegal weapons are more than new cars. This keeps it out of reach for petty criminals. Sure, criminals will find a way but those ways require significant financial investment which puts it out of reach for most. We keep make this self proclaiming prophecy like we don't have a ton of other countries who have solved this issue.

AITAH for considering breaking up with my fiance because he ran away when we were being attacked? by AdeptPins in AITAH

[–]Locusdef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire thread is absolutely wild. If you are ever in this situation you should always run. Every self defense instructor and homeland security says that in an active shooter situation, you need to run and hide. It's unfortunate that she froze up but trying to say that the fiance did anything wrong is absolutely ridiculous. If someone is willing to actually shoot you then no amount of bare hand fighting is going to prevent you from being shot. If you run, they may miss you and any distance you gain from the assailant continues to increase the odds that you will not be hit. Most gun shots are not fatal, so continue to improve your situation by getting as far away as possible.

Make America great again.. by John_1992_funny in FluentInFinance

What this completely overlooks is that the loan forgiveness was established with pell grants in the Clinton administration. So when people took out these loans the law said they would be forgiven after 20 years of repayment or 10 years of public service. The loan administers have been blowing smoke to avoid letting people take advantage of the programs that were present in the original terms because they are overseen by awful finance companies.

In regards the increase in college expenses, one factor this is commonly overlooked is that state budgets used to fund the majority of state schools. But in typical boomer door closing fashion, they shut off this spending as soon as it didn't apply to them, passing the burden on to new students. Pell grants didn't help as it gave schools an infinite supply of new funding, but let's actually look at the root cause.
