You are a brainwashed propagandist with that comment. Good for them. Can you explain to me why the US and NATO did not intervene with the genocide in Georgia? Make that TWO genocides. Who did? How much territory did they take? You know that counts in your inaccurate figure just as an example.

Americans are too stupid for the Internet.

It used to be “have a beer with the president” now it’s a social following. Both are ridiculously stupid qualities to have in the highest office. And America is getting what the voters deserved with these terrible candidates.

Seconding. I have a 3D printer. A couple of them. And I use JLC for PCBs and 3D prints because they have AWESOME printers and it’s just as fast to push the button and have it show up from them as it is for me to find the time and baby a print.

Land of the free! Free speech. Freedom of press… No wait, not like that! Only free to say and print the propagandist perspective.

If a pig is going to ticket you for an issue they’re saying your vehicle is unsafe. By then letting you drive away, they are not protecting or serving your wellbeing at all. They just deemed your vehicle hazardous to you and other drivers and it requires a civil penalty plus fixing the hazard. If they let you drive away, all they’ve done is collected money for their domestic terrorist pension fund.

Either it’s a hazard that warrants being pulled over and ticketed, or it isn’t. And it almost always isn’t a hazard. It’s an excuse to shoot coloured people and do warrantless searches.

Discretion for application of the law at the pig level is rife with abuse. In the US, so much so that the laws mean nothing. Pretty much at any point in the day, anywhere you are, you are guilty of a law somewhere. This means if they wish to get you for something, they can. Their discretion. Just decide to apply the law.

As for your example, no for many reasons. If you’re injured, an ambulance should be driving you with sirens. If your country is so broken as to be unaffordable to help their sick and weak, it is a broken country. Which it is. And let’s say you are driving it. Police should expend zero energy pulling over speeding vehicles. It is a cash grab, it is not safety. If it was for safety, it would just send you a ticket.

For example in a civilized country where I primarily reside now after leaving the shithole that is the USA, police don’t hide and ambush people. There are speed cameras every so often and when you go 15mph over the limit within 10 seconds, your phone notifies you that you have been fined for speeding with your picture. In the government app you can contest it, pay it, etc. If you continue speeding you just get more fines. There have been cases of people who did go fast as you suggest for personal reasons. No cop hindered them at any point in their journey. They got a bunch of tickets electronically. They contested due to an emergency, judge agreed, tickets dropped.

No safety issue with a loaded cop pulling you over in an emergency preventing you from helping your loved one. No interaction with police at all. The law is applied 100% of the time fairly to every person from the delivery driver to the “president”. If there is a reason you believe discretion is needed, a judge will decide if that discretion is warranted.

“Fix it tickets” are not a national thing. Some places do it, some places don’t. It’s just easier to say with a general meaning like Kleenex versus tissue paper.

Many places just issue you a ticket. End of story. Once the ticket is issued you are on notice that your vehicle is not considered legally roadworthy. You are legally supposed to park it and not drive on public roads until fixed. Tow it to the shop if you have to.

Obviously this is onerous and stupid. But it is the law. If you have a minor issue, 99% of the time the pig will let you go and get it fixed like you said. But they don’t have to. “Officer discretion” is a fancy way of saying applying laws on a whim. Picking and choosing when to enforce laws and against whom.

In some countries it is much more clear cut. If you need to fix something the police escorts you to a staging area, like a big parking lot and that’s where your car sits until it’s fixed. Once fixed the popo there check it before you drive out. People in the lot changing bald tires, burned bulbs, fastening new side mirrors, etc.

I mean… He’s not wrong. You shouldn’t need your phone number or email as a requirement to drop off a prepaid package with a mailer. The courier service has that info there’s no reason Walgreens should need it.

If you’re getting insurance, asking historical insurance questions should give them a better understanding of your history, like if you’re a brand new driver or not, etc. But it should not be required. Instead of “we have to know this” it should be “we need your history to determine policy risk and provide coverage. The less information we have the higher risk we have to assume and the more you pay. If you don’t want to tell me your history that’s fine, but you’re going to pay more”. In reality the insurance companies use giant databases to know exactly who and how you were insured. Payment histories, claims, everything. So it’s moot and still wrong.

The sov cit movement is ridiculous, but they’re not always 100% wrong in their stances.

Anecdotally I had a UPS Store try to pull the “you have to wait in line to drop off a package so we can get your details” crap for a prepaid drop-off. They can make you wait in line if they demand because they can ask you what’s inside to determine if it’s hazardous. That’s their loophole for preventing drop offs. But they cannot demand your information. I’m not super important but do a fair amount of business with UPS for a rando (thousands $'s week which is a rounding error to them) and after a complaint, got a followup, and magically now they accept packages without requiring information. But you still have to wait in line for them there. The purpose of the information was to get you on the store’s email list for promotions and presumably data sales.

Bully terrorist state steals assets of other sovereign nation.

That’s the headline.

If you were a minority you’d be pulled over every day, probably each way to and from work with that as the reason. Given expensive fix-it tickets each time. And most likely had your vehicle searched or impounded for multiple failures to comply. Not being hyperbolic, this has happened often. One guy it was 1 day, 3 tickets and then impound because he failed to fix the issue in a day.

When the rules are applied on a whim by whatever person with authority feels like, you live in tyranny. That isn’t an orderly system. It is a failed nation.

American definitely has a culture. And most of it is shit. Keep that idiocy away.

Yup. And eventually all gone there. The plan isn’t secret, they post on social media and make news conferences about the new Israeli territory’s geographical boundaries.

They’ve even made references to the greater land they claim which extends all around neighbour countries. Obviously they’re not going to invade Saudi… Today. But start making the PR claim today, and eventually the rhetoric moves with it

The Chinese influence is absolutely viewed as positive. When the Chinese influence, a road, a port, a library, a school, etc gets built. When the US influence people die and everything gets bombed to death.

What’s surprising is the Philippines has such a low US influence number considering the history and the US right now using it as a pawn to harass China. Even Australia has told the US to back the f’ck off from the south China sea and using Philippino shipping lanes and vessels as pawns to start WW3 or WW4 at this point.

Freedom of speech and press is the USA is criminalize anyone that provides a world view opposing the regime.

Fully agreed, couldn’t say it better myself. My guess is some intern slapped it out of a generative AI. There is a LORA for this exact type of poster for free. It would take about 5 seconds to make this.

If you ever travel outside the USA you’ll see how half the world population agrees that the US is a murderous oppressive country. And since 2016, those feelings have grown so it us much more than that. The only people still deluded enough to think the US has anything but murder to offer the world, are Americans that live in isolation.

He’s a stupid old man. But this is the sort of non-news story smear campaign for “candidate too old”. It’s the same exact story for Trump as it was for Biden a few months ago. Both may be true, but let’s stop being hypocritical.

Also if anyone has done a traveling sales pitch, which is all he’s doing, this happens sometimes. One of the presentations I have and give to people all over the planet is basically the exact same thing for all but 1 or 2 slides because it’s “tailored for every audience”. You go on autopilot. And sometimes you seriously don’t know where you are. You get on a plane and show up. The only people that care he missed the name of the place are people too stupid to realize he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care where he is, it could be Iowa or Montana or Missouri, they’re all shithole places to him and he just wants back on his plane and to GTFO as soon as possible. These aren’t his people. He really could not care less than he does.

There is a law that makes everything illegal and another law that makes everything legal. It’s purely up to the authoritarian regime masters, aka district attorneys and congress, to decide to do anything or not.
