- Comment on Anon challenges a fine 5 days ago:
My understanding is usually you can go before the judge and explain that the higher insurance rates will be a burden for you. Usually you don’t necessarily need a lawyer to go and ask for that. The judge will often add some stipulations like double the fine you pay now, and you can’t get another ticket for a certain amount of time.
When I lived in Illinois they had formalized the process and called it “court supervision” which is an option you can check on the ticket, but you do have to appear in court. Can’t get another speeding ticket for a year, and they won’t report it to insurance.
When I got a second speeding ticket though after 11 months, I did hire a lawyer. He requested continuance for me, so that by the time they heard the case, it had been 12 months, and I could do a second court supervision. Since then I decided to try to avoid getting more tickets.

I wonder if it has to do with reusing the transmission lines from the coal plant.
- Comment on Is it weird that I enjoy imagining being a witness/victim of various tragedies? 5 weeks ago:
Yours is the best take.
My guilty pleasure is the Air Crash Investigation series, or more recently Mentour Pilot on YouTube. It scratches both itches in my brain – the logic / engineer side, and the morbid curiosity & fascination with disaster.
The Roy thing is maybe pushing a little into weird. But if this sort of thing wasn’t normal then there wouldn’t be whole shows, subreddits, etc dedicated to disasters.

I use talking points like these a fair amount with Republicans. Try to get them to think back to when they were leaders in environmental policy. Get back to their roots of environmental stewardship. It seems to have moved the needle slightly.

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 5 months ago:
I have been happy to get outside my bubble a little bit. But at the same time, many of the Marxists here seem to be in their own bubble.

- Comment on Pharmacy staff from Walgreens, CVS say they’re at a breaking point — here’s what their days look like 7 months ago:
Costco does these and I happened to schedule my COVID shot the same day. It made getting my shot really chill and easy since everyone who would normally be waiting at the pharmacy for a flu shot was at the other side of the store.
