  • Depending on where you’re at in the States it varies. Around where I live in western NY state they mostly don’t care about speed necessarily it’s more reckless driving. You could be cruising what would be 15-20kph over the limit for y’all and generally speaking the cops don’t give a shit as long as you’re driving for the conditions and with the flow of traffic. But they’ll nail your ass to the wall for half that if they see you weaving through cars without leaving stopping distance.

    In a lot of areas I go through regularly they’re way more likely to light you up if they see you brake hard when you see them posted up than if you just cruise past them at a reasonable speed even if it’s technically over the limit. Hell, I’ve had troopers in traffic with me doing what would be like 120 in a 100 in y’alls terms not giving a damn because everybody was leaving enough stopping distance and we were all doing a steady speed not driving erratically.



  • Right? I’m not a big conspiracy person either. But my Gods between the Epstein stuff, the live tweeting this investigation, and how hard they’ve pushed the left wing violence narrative it’s so hard to look at those messages and not think something is fishy.

    It feels so much like that time the Russians tried to brag about catching some Ukrainian terrorist and stage a photo with all the evidence they seized including 3 random copies of The Sims. Or that time the IDF tried to claim they found this pristine copy of Mein Kampf in a child’s bedroom they bombed. They’ve done so much lying that any info that’s convenient for them I have a hard time believing isn’t a lie.

    The guy absolutely could just have been “Like That” and overshared. I’ve definitely known people like that. But with everything that’s happened I just can’t help but feel like it’s suspicious that the texts just so conveniently happen to just perfectly answer all these questions the administration has in just the perfect way.


  • Yeah no they’re fucking wild. Oh yeah let me just text my partner telling them the location of a note that I totally made admitting to doing it but that I planned on never telling anyone. A letter mind you that was apparently destroyed but not before taking a picture of for fucking posterity I guess? Oh and remember how I was engraving bullets the other day? That thing that you were presumably there for if I’m asking you if you remember.

    I adore the meme that Patel’s FBI fabricated those texts between the alleged Kirk shooter and his partner. Just the fact that they’ve done such a poor job gaining public trust that a bunch of people watching the story ended up like “Okay, I wouldn’t have thought the FBI would fabricate evidence like this before, but Kash Patel has utterly convinced me that they fabricated these texts. Look how conveniently they answer every single outstanding question for the investigation and sound like they were written by a 40 year old federal agent and not a college kid from Utah.”

    It’s objectively fucking hilarious. Especially if the texts are actually real.





  • I sent the image to my partner and accidentally caused her psychic damage by not immediately knowing that this was the Spice Girls too. I was born in '90 while she was born in '85 and I was like 26 when we got together, so we’re not that far apart in age. But where that gap falls is sometimes huge for us.

    She’s apocalyptically gay, like “Mistook not being entirely repulsed by a boy for having a crush on them,” gay. So naturally, she was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I knew of them, but I didn’t really start branching out in my music tastes until the mid 2000’s. Before that it was basically entirely the Country music my Mom listened to or the Classic Rock my Dad listened to.

    So yeah, this was another thing that I accidentally caused psychic damage to my partner with because of our age difference.



  • Oh is that what this is referencing? I definitely knew of the Spice Girls, I was just never really into them when I was younger. I was one of those kids whose family only really listened to Country music and didn’t really branch out much until like the mid 2000s. But when I did I was more into like Linkin Park, Celldweller, and like random DDR and anime music.








  • Depends on the time in which he had to do the deceleration. I did some more looking and I guess that this page comes from Action Comics 1000 from a short bit where the current iteration of Superman is getting deja vu like flashes of things that this iteration of the character has not done but were rather part of the overall character’s history.

    So this likely came from a very early iteration of Superman that A) wasn’t nearly as strong or fast, and B) that the situation most likely began with attempting to stop a runaway train from crashing. Then while attempting to stop the train, a child wandered into the path of the train and Clark couldn’t exactly let go of the train to move the kid out of harm’s way.


  • So I did some more looking and it seems like this image is from a… basically a clip show of a “story” that’s going through the history of Superman.

    So in that context we’re likely looking at a significantly less powerful Superman earlier in his history. Which also means that the situation was likely that the train itself was going to crash and he’d been pushing on it for much longer with the kid having wandered into the tracks while he was in the middle of stopping the train.
