And even when they ARE "punished", their profits far exceed the fine, which IS their only punishment.

If the punishment for a crime is just a fine, it's only a crime for the poor.

Anecdote: a street near my house in high school had speed bumps next to the park. Occasionally people would be woken up at 3am to a dunk Douchebag shredding down the road at 50 and launching himself off the speed bumps and smashing into stretside cars.

Eventually they had the bright idea (after a few years in a row of snowplows damaging their blades and the road needing repairs) to make a gentle S-curve instead. Now you don't feel like you can go 10mph over the limit, the road only needs minor repairs every 5 yearsnor so, and to my knowledge nobody has launched themselves into stationary vehicles in many years.

Well, as long as you do it while driving a car, anyway.

In fact, I insist.

The fact that people would rather see their taxes bomb a brown person's house instead of building 10 is sickening.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

Half the time when you see someone walking around with the wrong amount of pips, it's just delicious street corn

Best I can do is clean out half a storage closet, put a broken wobbly chair in it, replace the warm orange-hued light with a harsh fluorescent one, put a security camera pointing directly at the chair, and then lock the closet so you have to ask to get in.

Actually, having been on reddit for over a decade before I left, I'd agree that there is a superiority complex present on reddit when someone asks for clarification on an acronym.

Without fail, if someone used acronyms that might be considered by some to be "common knowledge", and another user asks what that means, they'll get down votes and sometimes even a "are you joking? Everyone knows it means blah blah blah" or similar comment.

I once saw a person get over 50 down votes for asking "what does ETA mean?" when the OP meant "edited to add". I had never seen anyone use it to mean something other than "estimated time of arrival" and was mildly confused by the "ETA" at the top of the comment. Not one single person explained what it meant. Just down votes. I had no idea either at the time, and didn't care enough to do some light searching.

I'd say the business ones are dependent on where you work. I've never worked in a corporate setting where I'd imagine they're more common, so I can't really comment on that part.

And the Internet didn’t exist back than in the sense that there was no real yt, twitter or Facebook yet.

Damn, what the fuck was I using to talk to random people about rc stuff and music and shit? CLEARLY it wasn't the internet, as that didn't exist before facebook and youtube blessed the world with their presence.

Gladaed, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
