Nobody has been arrested for it here.

There are plenty of so called brown people, though.

“If you arent breaking the law, you have nothing to hide”

Lol. Lmao even.

A flock camera in a rural area will end up like a stop sign in a rural area. Full of bulletholes.

Bob? Is that you?

Is there a law against attempted destruction of humanity? Like attempted murder?

I’m no hero, Im not here to change the world.

I somehow ended up with the Perfect Wife, and my days on this earth are for my family and friends. I know a lot of cool people and I want to brighten their lives as they have improved mine.

That’s my experience too. The cat beats the mouse dead, and I have to grab the mouae and toss it to the chickens.

Emily (not Emma) Watson. Rowr.

I hear that its the sudden stop that gets you.

I wonder how long it will be before someone tries to sell a truck with an engine that runs on coal.

The difference is, the windmills and solar panels and such are in use a lot longer than a tank of gas.

Im probably going to get in good shape from all the bicycle riding.

Edit: Some thoughts about oil as fuel vs oil as a base material for various things.

A gallon of gas gets me all the way to work. Thankfully I have an EV! But wait! The EV still needs oil! And tires! And plastic!

There is a sense of scale missing here. As mentioned, if I were to drive my gas car, I turn two gallons of designer hydrocarbons into heat and motion every day. And then I change the oil every 5,000 miles or so. Gallons and gallons of destroyed or contaminated hydrocarbons every year.

An EV has oil in a gearbox somewhere typically. In my case, its 1.5 quarts of transmission fluid, and it only needs to be changed every 60,000 miles. The tires last 40,000-60,000 miles. The plastic lasts until a shopping cart hits it. It isn’t gallons and gallons of stuff a year.

You also have to make sure the cat doesn’t knock it down, sending the loose trackball to the lowest corner of the living room floor.

Trackball!

Same, there’s a little hardware/lumber store I frequent, they are friendly, they have what I need, they have never made me run the cash register, and they don’t have creepy cameras in the parking lot.

I have a living room table that dad made over 40 years ago.

Or drones.

For a given value of “random”.

A lot of places that did random drug screens, I would be “randomly” chosen every time because they knew I’d pass.

I used to run lasers capable of cutting 19mm steel plate. Have to be sober for that!

Ok, storytime!

I worked in a little fabrication shop back in 2013 or so. The general manager got a hair up his ass and decided he was going to drug test everyone.

We lost everyone on all three shifts except for me, and my supervisor. My supervisor had been picked up a month prior for possession, and was getting regular drug tests from someone else. Im just boring.

The shop closed down a few months later. They couldn’t get anyone to work there, because people who do that kind of work talk to each other.

In my case it was fabrication shops and machine shops. But exactly like you say.
