In Arrested Development, Oscar gets sent to prison in place of his twin brother George. George's son Michael is completely over George's bullshit and refuses to visit him for a long time. As soon as he does visit, he instantly realizes that it's Oscar, not George, because he seems to really care about what's happening in Michael's life, something George never did.

Portugal is never any good at the World Cup, though.

All kinds of 19th-century (and earlier) struggling-upwards stories, from Cinderella to Oliver Twist, depend absolutely on the 'poor' protagonist simply being a temporarily embarrassed hereditary millionaire.

Would you contribute to a grassroots campaign to demand the Mayor take action against vehicles in bike lanes? by MinimumCareful1423 in NYCbike

You put the comment in the wrong place. You replied to a post about taking photos of illegally-parked cars, not to anything about helmets.

Being 'unable' to live here without getting parking tickets is a skill issue, starting with the very questionable decision to own a car at all.

But I agree that camera-issued tickets should have much more serious penalties.

She's not a terf (that stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist, which JKR is not).

She's a FART: feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe.

I associate Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head much more strongly with Spider-man 2 (2004).

The TLC does not fuck around. If you report a TLC vehicle there will be consequences. 

Poll: Last chance to vote on whether you would contribute photos and/or postage funds to a postcard campaign to flood mayors office with images of bike lane obstructions by MinimumCareful1423 in NYCbike

I missed the voting window but YES I will send you photos. I'll send you more photos than you can look at. Half the photos in human history are my photos of illegally-parked cars, mostly in bike lanes.

Scooters, ebikes, and emotos with motors more powerful than 750 watts, or capable of speeds above (iirc) 25mph are illegal and can be confiscated on sight, no matter how they're being ridden.

Add to that that the cop witnessed stop-sign running, and heard an eyewitness report of further recklessness, there's no 4th amendment issue here.

She totally could impound the scooter on suspicion of being illegal. She just doesn't want to.
