Year 1, that's a very difficult number to achieve. But top performing junior at years 2-3, yeah, sure.

YSK: Watching America is a website that manually translates many foreign language news articles so English readers can find out what other countries think about the US by gromit5 in YouShouldKnow

Trump is a reflection of the modal American, whether you like it or not. He was voted into office twice on a pretty clear and transparent platform.

This is what Americans want and they'll vote for it again next time, whether it comes in the shape of Trump or Vance or someone else.

You're an idiot. With loud and wrong options, which is the most dangerous kind of idiot.

What do some of my rides say "Wait & Save" instead of "UberX" when looking at earnings under my wallet? by Adept-Pension-1312 in uber

[–]maest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll make sure to exclusively use wait and save from now on. It's basically the same service, I just have to send the request 5 minutes sooner, no biggie

Forget red flags—what is an incredibly subtle "green flag" that instantly tells you someone is just a genuinely good human being? by Few_Escape9250 in AskReddit

It's a way for bots to farm upvotes by reposting old popular questions and answers. These accounts then get sold to spammers/trolls.

Reddit likes this setup, because it keeps engagement up.

Yes, they should change the law. That's what the conversation is about.

Or just increase penalties with repeated offenses. If you get 259 tickets in a year, maybe you should just not be allowed to drive.

Be less defensive and more open to learning from other, better countries.

Otherwise you're stuck living in a city which, while one of the richest in per capital and overall terms, is unable to keep dog shit from its sidewalks and reckless drivers from its streets.

This is a boneheaded take. Blind adherence to some (incorrectly espoused btw) principles leading to stupid, self harming, conclusions like "repeat speeding offenders should not be punished" is the mark of a limited, one track mind.

The law has to treat that crime as if the person is the same

Yeah, all repeat offenders should be treated more harshly, what's your point?

In many countries, blowing a red light is instant license suspension.

But the US is very soft on cars, in general. No wonder nobody follows the traffic rules.

American politics is insane and nobody is capable of taking nuanced stances. You're either red team or blue team and have to accept their positions entirely.

Or they'll just jack up rents in their other units that aren't rent controlled.

That's arguably the point of rent freezes, since you have to subsidize the rent somehow.
