“Innocent children”? Do you have children? Because mine are assholes whose only purpose is to constantly terrorize me and keep me poor. 🤣

Depends on the life insurance, I think? 🤔

They are too sensitive on here for jokes like that. Even the word truck or BANG scares them.

That’s between them and their therapists. It’s even funnier for me because my kids and I (even my wife to a lesser degree) joke around in every conceivable way, bad, good and everything in between, and that’s just how we roll in our family. My kids love it, evidently, me too. I imagine how many people are butthurt by that right now, and can’t stop laughing when I think the images they must have of me in their heads without ever having crossed a word with me.
Let them downvote me to hell, have some overly-delicate mod delete the post, or even ban me (no idea if that’s even a thing here). It won’t change anything.
We’re doomed as humans if all there is ‘I’m offended’ time anyone says anything. It used to be that everything was a joke, now they are the jokes. So sad.

the reason i’m a proponent of the adaptive cruise control systems is that i was very, very nearly in a 30 car pileup on the Grapevine (if you don’t know the stretch of road, I-5 north of LA, south of bakersfield. very mountainy and curvy, there’s always a fire or an accident when i drive by four times a year). It was foggy and the ACC saw the car ahead of me before I did, let us stop before hitting it and making it a 32 car pileup.
When I was growing up (80s and 90s) that size accident would have multiple fatalities. Only one person had to go to the hospital, and she was pregnant. They wanted to check on the baby. Everyone else just had light bruising/abrasions.
Modern cars seem like a miracle compared to what i started driving.
