Throw people in jail for driving too fast? That seems pretty extreme.

It’s hard to police speeding on a highway. Typically if you do get pulled over for speeding, it’s because you’re going way faster than those around you. So even in a 55, if everyone’s doing 80, you’ve gotta be doing 95 or more for a cop to single you out and arrest you. (Or maybe the cop has a quota to meet.) And where I live, local cops can’t use radar, so it’s hard to prove how fast you were going.

And then if you do get arrested, you’re most likely to get a ticket and points on your license. Get enough points and they’ll take away your license, but that means you’ve been caught repeatedly. And points expire eventually, plus if you go to your court date and plead not guilty, a lot of the time the judge will just remove the points. So a speeding ticket from years ago generally won’t have any bearing on your life except for the cost of the ticket.

So within reason, you can pretty much speed all the time consequence-free ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep! That was the first qntm book I read.

I disagree. There are two roads near me with a limit of 55 mph, and traffic on those roads regularly moves at 75-80. Driving 55 becomes dangerous when all of the other traffic is going so much faster, because nobody expects you to be that slow. You risk getting rear-ended, and if traffic is heavy, people who end up behind you now have to merge into a much faster lane of traffic to get around you.

Yeah Riker has nothing on Captain Jack.

But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine

He broke my little bottle of

Right?! Picard could fucking get it.

I only know 3 of these shows and they’re all awesome

Oh shit latkes are like bringing a gun to a knife fight. None of the other options even come close.

Please tell Leonard he’s precious 🤍

Nice! My LCARS fitbit:

Ah it’s jeans season again

When I do this I use a curly line instead of a straight line, because it feels like cheating to use a straight line for a task I didn’t do. One of my more neurotic traits haha

Sounds like the enclosure needed an airlock or something

If the dog gets sad or hurt in any way I will fucking bawl, it’s inevitable. :(

Does this moron really think they’ll be able to spout off this mouthful of nonsense to a cop if they get pulled over?

I mean, go ahead Muskrat, but please also go the fuck away.

Food deserts, I imagine.
