The joke is that the FBI is correcting him on how to be properly racist and intimidating. Because, ya know. The FBI has a history of enabling behavior like that.

Did you read my entire comment before posting this?

“Now, see, the issue is you did it in your yard. That’s incorrect.” - The FBI Probably.

If you’re in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.

This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.

This is written evidence to that fact.

Honestly. This is a social network platform. Assume all you post and share is being collected via web crawlers and data brokers pulling from the api.

‘LinkedIn’

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It’s really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

Grub and GrubHub

When you shop at big box stores, the money leaves the community and goes to the wealthy 0.01%ers.

But the evil of their methods is that typically once they move in there’s literally no other options left. Everything else either goes out of business or your wages drop so low you can’t afford anything else.

These are a blight on American society.

These types of stores didn’t used to be possible for various reasons. But removal of anti-trust regulations and a focus on car-centrism have enabled this hellish combo of monopolistic box stores that can pop up, kill the competition and leave a wasteland behind in which it is both financially and legally impossible for the local population to bring back local stores.

Local stores tend to be in the older town areas where dense-buildings were once legal, and are grandfathered in. These get bought up and flattened and replaced with a mcdonalds or a gas station while the walmartification is in full swing. Then once walmart implodes there because no one can afford it anymore, walmart closes and the other chains close as well. No one can afford to replace walmart or the gas stations at scale for the obnoxious amount of land they use, but they also can’t replace them with more dense buildings because its literally illegal.

Obligatory 'We need to diversify transportation options" comment.

That’s what Georgians thought in 2020. They voted anyway.

And then Georgia flipped blue.

I mean if I name them do I have to own the domain or…

Damn, if only the systems your phone network were ran on hadn’t been forcibly closed source and scared good devs from interacting with you because of your sue-happy nature regarding BSD/Unix.

Oh no, not a penny degree. help, somebody help us.

Whether a truck or a small truck or a sedan. A poor park job is done by a poor driver. And Poor driver doesn’t need to have a license.

But in a world where automobiles are your only means of transportation, the need to make Driver’s Licenses easy access increases.

I will concede, my value on trucks was incorrect, but that does not invalidate an entire argument, especially since the entire argument did not depend on that detail.

People are easily manipulated at scale ( No one is immune to Propaganda ). Fear marketing is more powerful to those who are anti-social, and car centric infrastructure perpetuates an anti-social society by sprawling people out and segregating them in transit through a car, and segregating them in their homes based on class.

Everyone in the US needs a car, whether they want one or not.

He definitely could’ve parked better, but the greater issue at hand is if driving was a requirement in the US but instead a luxury, The privilege of driving would be restricted to those who can pass a more rigorous driving test. But since in the US, public transportation has been designated as being for the poor and the desperate, their upkeep and social understanding of them has reflected this.

No one wants to ride the bus or take a train in the US because “Ah it’s dangerous, everyone gets stabbed, shot and bludgeoned there!!”. The reason for this is deceptively simple, if you designate something as only being for a class of people that is known to fall into violence as a result of their material conditions, then that thing as well as everything else that they use will reflect that negative connotation.

But similarly, should cars and trucks not have a similar reputation? As cars and trucks are in frequent accidents and so many complain about bad drivers. Road rage, and police chases. Why don’t cars have the same negative connotation as public transportation? Because you, me and most people who are not in the “poor and the desperate” category use them. If any negative issues come to light at all, the solution isn’t to avoid driving, the issue is to improve the driving experience, hence all these absurd massive tank trucks.

The “reason” I alluded to that was deceptively simple earlier, is not that if something becomes associated with bad events and behavior it will become undesirable. the deceptively simple reason is In-Group/Out-Group bias.

Because those with middle-class wealth all the way to the richest all use Cars, naturally this form of transportation sees the most improvement. But since public transportation is only used by the poor and the desperate, it sees neglect instead of improvement.

No, a UPS uses at least 1 Lead-Acid battery, not LI-ION.

(🛻 * 📏) = 1/( 🍆 * 📏 )

You can blame the driver for parking poorly, or you can blame the manufacturer for making a massive truck that can barely fit into a standard parking space, or you can blame car-centric infrastructure for making it so that everyone has to drive, even those that are insecure about their length.
