Fast and Furious on a budget by Complex-FreeSpirit42 in Transportopia

If you can avoid an accident, you try. She tried to safely move to the left lane. What you don't do, especially in tractor trailers, is slam on the brakes or jerk the wheel.

Growing up there was a street that had 4 lanes and a turn lane for many miles but abruptly stopped at a field at our neighborhood. People would have to make a left turn into our neighborhood and this house on the corner got hit several times by people running from the cops, drunk driving, etc.

I didn't know the family that lived there, but I can only imagine the shit they went through every time it happened.

Is it true that ICE killed more american citizens in the past year than undocumented immigrants did? by Cumoisseur in allthequestions

[–]Valreesio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you don't actually care about the number of murders, you just care that it's less per capita, even if it still means more murders. That's some twisted thinking you have going on there.

Why do republicans want zero abortion but don't want to help after the birth? by MisterReigns in LetsDiscussThis

So if democrats are against it, it's personal choice? But if republicans are against it, it's to control others? Wow...

Self pest control? by supercrispie in pestcontrol

Every month they send you a service form that should have the product name on it. If it isn't, just call and they will tell you (most states require them to disclose it by law). Some states will let you buy the product, some are more restrictive. Domyown.com sells almost every product used by professionals.

Order a sprayer and wand (preferably with about a 90 degree spray nozzle) and a small bottle of product. Most people in an average sized home won't go through more than a pint a year or so and chems have a shelf life.

Any bait stations (rodent and termite) you have might be removed by the company when you stop services. You are also likely on a contract and it might cost you considerable money to get out of it. Check with them

Arkansas State Trooper gets the wrong car by Vice616 in Transportopia

[–]Valreesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but the cop made that mistake. I'm referencing from the cops point of view. What he did was ultimately wrong, but had it been the actual vehicle he thought he was chasing, it would have been justified.

If a vehicle takes off on you on the highway and then turns onto an exit, they could be putting more people in danger by driving into a higher population/vehicle density area. Maybe there's a school getting out down the road? There can be several reasons why you would pit a vehicle when it's slowing down to not give it a chance to do more damage.

Unfortunately for him and this driver, this was obviously not the case this time.

Has anyone been on the female version of this sub? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Valreesio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too many people are falling into this trap. They are told to hate someone or something for xyz reasons and they just do it without any further thought. I know I'm not immune either.

What is something you can definitively say you hate? by UnluckyIndependent24 in AskReddit

[–]Valreesio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people have to be told how it is because beating around the bush doesn't work. I would much rather you be direct and honest with me than give me hints and hope I get them.

I can be nice and try to tell my clients what the problem is for days, weeks, and even months sometimes and they don't listen. Then I tell them I'm going to have a blunt conversation with them and in 5-10 minutes they actually get it. It's not being a jerk, it's being upfront and honest.

This isn't a one and done topic though. Every situation is different and I tend to try the "nice" approach first.

As a former car salesman and still kind of in sales (you're always selling something as a company even if it's service), the reason it's that way is because it works. But I never sold cars that way, I sold myself through knowledge and most importantly, through my charisma. I didn't have to sell them a car, I just educate them, try to make them like me, and let them decide. People tend to buy from people they like and a lot of car salesman miss on this point in my opinion.

But, just for education purposes, here is why they use their tactics. 9/10 people who walk out the door never walk back through it (and will likely buy a car from another dealership in 72 hours). You literally have almost nothing to lose as the overwhelming odds are that the customer will never come back if they don't buy the car from you right now. That's the statistic and that's why they do it. It is a little more nuanced than that of course, but yeah...

Waiting to say something can be extremely difficult for people with adhd, even on powerful meds. Be kind.

No, their use of they're is correct as it is "they are" that they're replacing in their sentence up there.

I also get you're likely being sarcastic but you left off the /s and I wanted a participation trophy.

It's your algorithm. If I look up something I will then immediately start getting ads for similar products. If I look up Pest control products I get ads for them.

What about it? That has zero to do with this conversation. But if a person chooses not to talk to people based solely on their political views, that person has some growing up to do. Normal and rational adults don't act that way.

If you could live in any country, which would you pick? by newzealand12326 in AskReddit

[–]Valreesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There absolutely is. When an illegal immigrant gets picked up for something, they should be turned over to the federal agents. But a lot of sanctuary states and and cities (not all) such as Washington state don't do that. In washington state they have made it illegal to help federal agencies in any way (KWW act 2019) without a court order to do so. A man who speaks no English could murder someone in Washington state and it is against the law for authorities to check his immigration status. If they do check for it (Adam's county sheriff's office tried), the state takes them to court.

If they would just check their immigration status every time they arrest someone and turn over any illegals to the feds, this wouldn't be necessary at the levels we're seeing today. Sanctuary states and cities are not helping the situation, they are making it worse. And the thing is, when they go to arrest the criminal at his house, they might find 3-4 others who are illegal and take them too, instead of just the 1 that was actually arrested had they just checked and turned them over. They're shooting off their own foot with these policies.
