You’re definitely on the right track.
The only actual job of the police is to file crime reports.
They do not prevent crime. Protect innocents. Make people show up for court etc. They have no obligation to stop a crime in progress or protect someone being hurt, even if they’re standing right there and could stop it.
Anything in the justice system that you value is either done by someone else, or actually isn’t done at all.
I was going to sarcastically ask “ever ever?” but suspect your statement might just be literally true…
I got my prependix taken out as a kid due to an infection.
Bathroom attendants - since people got all the high value stuff.
I don’t mean people that clean the bathroom etc.
I mean the guy that stands at the sink and makes awkward small talk before handing you a towel you could have got yourself and expects a tip.
EDIT: Y’all I’m pretty sure no one’s having sex or shooting up in the bathroom at the fucking Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas … Coke - probably. I don’t know where anyone else has seen a bathroom attendant, but every place I’ve seen one at I’ve been wearing a suit…
Taking your golf bag to the course counts as hauling now?
Oh. I think that’s just throwaway newspaper comic quality plus jpeg.
I think they’re playing off the vanity of the car makers and owners wanting everyone to know exactly what car it is.
EPA has never banned small trucks. This is from consistent misinformation that shifts blame from car manufacturers to the government.
EPA made a scaled plan that required improvements to emissions from smaller trucks first, then larger trucks over the years.
Car manufacturers chose to abuse that flexibility by simply not making smaller trucks, instead of making ones that meet the standards, which is why trucks have steadily inflated in size in the US as they make whatever the next unregulated size class is that year.
You can of course partially blame EPA for not having the foresight to predict that would happen - but they also make regulations under pressure from politicians and lobbyists who are themselves influenced by car manufacturers.
Remember way back when, when you could set icons to be whatever you want?
This is literally the “You never know when my brother is coming” joke in real life.
Hmm. Is it just world@lemmy.world or the whole instance?
I didn’t know it was the mods. I was wondering how it hadn’t been banned yet for being obviously biased.
I’ve heard it that the first 11 don’t complain.
If you’re the majority you don’t have to leave; you can refuse them a seat.
I recall Nazis were only about a third of the Reichstag when Hitler enacted emergency powers, and maybe that in the population.
Republicans I think are between a quarter to a third of the US population - and the more famously crazy ones not even that.
Everyone blames EPA while forgetting two things.
The manufacturers chose to do this; no regulations prevent them from making a vehicle like the one on the left that meets the new standards. They’re just evading the standards.
Politicians of all walks allow regulatory capture, so almost all regulations are influenced by the people that should be regulated, making them useless or easy to evade.
Except the people who own the monster trucks never carry more than 1500 lbs and rarely take it on the highway.
Unless they own a parrot, not much.
I’m happy with my current liver, thanks.
Must have dropped out of strawman school…
