They want to make money. Spreading disease is just a side effect.

I wonder if raising the licencing age to 25 would reduce the curve or just shift it to the right

I would also assume this, if I hadn’t also repeatedly witnessed the exact behaviour the OP describes. The “instant honk on green” drivers also tend to follow up with whatever reckless maneuver allows them to beat you to the next red light by 1.5 seconds. Inattentiveness and impatience are both dangerous on the road.

It’s objectively worse from a profit standpoint, so I can definitely see them disappearing outside of secondhand sales

Maybe a step further: dialup-punk?

Is this really a privacy issue? It just looks like plain old harassment to me.

tfw no evil moon milf gf

Bold of you to assume I own a house

Where do you live that nobody drives unsafely and infrastructure can just be overhauled as soon as a problem is identified? I want to move there!

Wait how do I use the cat filter

Apparently even things that start out shitty are susceptible to enshittification

Looks like Target to me.

What can I say, I love tubers

Hershey is going to start making chocolate??

I think I probably agree with your assessment, but I really just wanted to highlight that this thinking is endemic to western culture, or at least the slice of it with which I am familiar. Sure, a lot of people might not say things like this face-to-face, but you probably wouldn’t be shocked if you witnessed it, would you?

Just like with any other harmful idea, all it takes is one person in a room to say it loudly and persistently while everyone else says nothing (or fecklessly points out the person’s gender as if dispensing some profound insight).

A big part of the nuance you mention is that Keating was not only defending McBride, but also defending the dignity (what little there may be) of the US legislative body, and fulfilling his role as a publicly elected representative to advocate for the interests of the people he represents.

Also, while I do believe Keating deserves way more public attention and praise for this than I have seen, I would not say that he went “above and beyond” by defending McBride. He did what should have been done by anyone in his position.

Quit crying. You’ll be fine. Don’t be such a crybaby. Man up. Put on your big boy pants. Boys don’t cry. Boo hoo, gonna cry about it? Gonna cry like a little girl? Be a man. Face your problems like a man. Crying doesn’t help anything. Take it like a man. Don’t be a baby. You’re acting like a girl. Grow a pair. Suck it up and move on.

Why will men do literally anything besides talk about their feelings?

This, because it’s how i remembered it being drawn in Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land
