I have been telling people this for 26 years now to no avail. I wish I hadn’t busted my ass now so all the motherfuckers since then who claimed IT is useless could eat the giant dick of downtime.

Pretty confidently incorrect there with your capitals and italics.

Fair.

That is literally what a zipper merge is, and what you are supposed to do. Go to the end and merge. If they are “cramming” in, then the people in the lane are not doing their part either, because you are supposed to let people merge.
When people properly zipper merge, traffic will keep flowing. Your complaint about reducing throughput is a “well of fucking course it will” because you’re putting more cars through the same space regardless of where they merge. People who slow down with hundreds of meters of space, then stop and wait for someone to let them in makes the problem worse, not better.
- Comment on That's a no 2 weeks ago:
The the merging lane is empty for a half km, then it’s proper to drive to the front and merge. If you just drive slow, then you’re a problem for the sake of being a problem.
Drive to the front, match speed, zipper merge. It isn’t hard.

I can’t speak for anywhere else, but here in Canada, emergency response team is not a full time job (except in the largest metro areas). Members do regular police work until an emergency.
And even if the cities with full time ERT, they rarely respond as a full team. They are often dispatched to assist constables for other duties. It’s very rare for a full rollout of a tactical ERT team here. And even more rare that shots are fired.

Agreed—me neither.

I submitted some things I wrote years ago to AI and asked if it was written by AI and it said yes.
If you write intelligently and using proper sentence structure, the default now is to believe AI. It’s sad.

:D
I don’t know if that was a purposefully funny comment, but it was both clever and funny if so.

- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 3 months ago:
You didn’t say where you’re from, but I know in some countries and cultures, you have deep rooted superstitions about attracting bad luck to yourself.
On both sides, my grandparents would put money in a wallet given as a gift. You were never allowed to keep a door open in case a robin flew in. Never put new shows on the table. If you go on a trip. never go back for something you forgot. Leave through a different door than you entered the house.
These were all things they thought bring bad luck. It’s possible your parents have some cultural superstition they never passed on. My grandmother would throw salt over her left shoulder until the day she died, even though she said it was a dumb superstition. My great grandmother told me fairies like to play “pranks” based on irony. I could see the joke you made being taken the same way by my great grandmother.

Not to mention the utter American arrogance of stating that because the US doesn’t like something, the rest of us will blindly follow along.

- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 4 months ago:
Did everyone forget he drove around with a dead animal, and dumped it into a park?
No one should listen to this insane lunatics ramblings. But the addiction is a symptom, not the problem. He likely became an addict because he was mentally ill. Or, the addiction (and brain worm, and eating random dead things) made him mentally ill.
Either way, someone with delusions shouldn’t be in charge of anything.

It’s never been about the children, but if you enact something “in the name of child safety” they can shout down any opposition by screaming child predator at anyone who does.
After all, anyone who opposes a child safety bill, must be a predator right?

I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. “Promoting Violence”
I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. “Promoting violence”
Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. “Inciting violence”.
Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don’t agree with that world view.

The title of the article you posted is clearly not the same article given that it’s not the same headline or the fact it’s not even about Star Trek.
You’re clearly a troll, and I’m done wasting time with you.

I’m not sure why you’re arguing. YOU linked to the article I responded to. Did you actually read it? And did you notice that the article now redirects to a different article than the one you linked to?
It really wasn’t hard to find a different source that for the same article you ooriginally posted. Many other sites reposted.

It’s previously been reported that Haynes and Grahame-Smith’s movie, produced by Simon Kinberg, "will serve as an origin story of sorts for the main timeline of the entire franchise
Literal prequel

I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.
Every studio: “What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity.”

Just to further your point. It’s like Cirque du Soleil, scripted, but they are really doing those moves.
