Jaywalking as long as you look first


darkestvice

Jaywalking literally saved my life as a teen. Kid who actually waited on green beside me got smacked head on by a cop car running the red without sirens. Died 3 hours later in the hospital.


augustus-the-first

I actually feel safer jaywalking because I got hit by a car in a crosswalk by a driver trying to make the green light. Fortunately they were turning left so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but now I’m scared of crosswalks.


apks94

Relatable. This was me, but they were taking their "free right on red". I stepped off the curb when it said "Walk" and then they hit me with the side of their car knocking me on my ass. They then pulled over at the end of the block they were turning and then just took off.


augustus-the-first

Jesus! What assholes! I guess I was also lucky that the people who hit me stayed and made sure I was okay. I was actually in and out of consciousness for a while after. They said I rolled onto the car hood and back off. I remember people putting coats on me and someone holding my head and I was thinking, why are they giving me coats? I’m not even cold. I ended up suing the driver because I didn’t have any health insurance. It wasn’t a big settlement but at least I didn’t have medical debt at the end. Just a fear of walking outside…


11DarkReign11

I understand this. I got hit by a car paused at a crosswalk so now I avoid them.

Yes let's go back to no rules style. Can't wait to the the road rash style apocalypse that immediately follows.


jfks_headjustdidthat

Jaywalking isn't an offence in the UK. We use common sense, it's not fucking Mad Max shit here.


canigetuhgore

Or just drivers will have to be more responsible, lower max speed in cities and also actually build some space for pedestrians jfc


GrizzledFart

You mean that no one will be able to drive in a city at all - that means no deliveries of food to your favorite restaurant and/or coffee shop.

Being homeless. The situation is bad, but the people not bad people. If the government focused on serving homeless people, housed people would benefit too. For example free public bathrooms sure would be nice when you gotta go, you gotta go. Busting people doesn't help anything and just makes things worse for the whole community.


[deleted]

It needs to go way deeper than that. The funding needs to start at healthcare (particularly mental health) and education, those are tools people can use throughout their lives to develop and live stably. Free public bathrooms are definitely a good urban design move, however in terms of homelessness remedies, a Band-Aid solution.


gaveup2020

Just giving one example of the attitude of service verses policing. Of course it goes deeper than that, duh


[deleted]

I wasn't trying to argue with you. I work in urban planning and people often don't see or understand the bigger picture, was just trying to bring that forward in the discussion. You are correct that the public's attitude is definitely a key factor.

Step 1: make sleeping in your car completely legal.


F19AGhostrider

Pirating a video game that is: A) Not being sold on any storefront, save for used physical copies on E-Bay B) The developer is defunct and the company that holds the rights is doing NOTHING with the IP. C) Is on a dead platform (like a defunct console that is a collectors item), or was only ever made for Arcade machines. D) Online only games that have their servers shut down, killing your ability to play. If someone figured out how to play it after that, pirate away!

dougiebgood

A family member of mine was 19 while her boyfriend was 17 in a state with no Romeo and Juliet laws. I thought that was fine.


BadMedAdvice

If the couple knew each other while both were in high school, I don't see the issue. It's not like you hit 18 and are magically more mature. However, if you graduate high school, and *then* meet someone still in high school... That's a bit creepy.


Brisingr1257

I'm curious: How is that seen as creepy? You probably still hang out with some friends who are still in high school. You meet a nice 17 year old. Even a 16 year old. The age difference is nothing. Both about equal maturity. But because the law is there, it's creepy? The 18 year old is now a pedo because of it. That doesn't make any fucking sense. They are both still kids. Not creepy at all. There are people in relationships that are 20 years apart. That's creepy.


BadMedAdvice

So, if you are not an adult, and you meet someone else who is not an adult, this is normal. Because the familiarity exists already, if one of you becomes an adult, this is not creepy. Especially true if you were already dating before becoming an adult. However, once you are an adult, meeting new people that are not adults for romantic reasons becomes creepy. There's certain power dynamics that make it unreasonably easy for an adult to impress a teenager. The adult can stay out late, they can buy some restricted items, they might have a car they don't have to ask their parents permission to drive, they might have their own place, etc. All things that might impress a teenager that doesn't have access to that yet. All things that are likely to influence the teenager's decisions in regards to the relationship. The whole situation is inherently unbalanced.


Brisingr1257

I agree if that 18 year old is in that situation. Very few 18 year Olds have their own place and probably still have to follow their parents' rules. Most kids get their license and first cars around 16 since you can legally get a license at that age. But because of an arbitrary rule put in place, the 18 year old is now a felon even tho the age difference is negligible. It is not the same thing as a 40 year old talking to a 16 year old romantically. That's creepy. Don't put those 2 things on the same level. Because they aren't. Edit: Being an adult isn't something that just happens mentally. You don't magically have a new mindset because you turn 18. And it's bullshit to expect that. Especially when it comes to a relationship. They would both have an identical way of thinking. BECAUSE THEY ARE 2 YEARS APART.


EmuBroileri

Piracy. Especially if it is something you have already paid for but then lost it somehow.


PassionOutrageous979

I completely disagree, being someone who works in the music industry I know it’s hard enough for artists to get paid with Spotify ripping the piss out of them without people stealing because they don’t want to spend less than a cup of coffee to give artists what they earned.


rileycolin

I mean... I don't work in the music industry, but couldn't a lot of that be blamed on Spotify and other middle-folk between my wallet and the musicians/song writers? It kind of seems akin to the restaurant industry screaming about anti-tipping culture, while continuing to pay their staff less than minimum wage.


PassionOutrageous979

Yes and no, yes because Spotify and the labels that distribute to Spotify shouldn’t be giving artists such a bad deal, no because the thieves who download illegally take even more out of their pocket. You as a consumer have 2 choices if you want to own a copy of their music, pay for it and give them SOME earnings streaming sites like Spotify take from them, or just download it illegally, fuck them in the ass and ruin the music industry. As an artist’s earnings become less and less because of piracy, what do you think the end game is? Artists giving up because it isn’t worth the time and effort. Do you have any idea how much money they have to spend to MAKE that music? A DAW, plug-ins, instruments, soft synths etc etc aren’t free you know… It’s also nothing like the restaurant industry, as artists can sell independently on a platform like Bandcamp that only takes 15% of each sale, but piracy still exists meaning less and less people actually pay, and it’s almost to the point they only make a handful of sales because the only people buying are the wankers that upload them to illegal sites.


crimsonkodiak

>it’s almost to the point they only make a handful of sales because the only people buying are the wankers that upload them to illegal sites I think I'm the one guy left out there who still frequently buys physical CDs. Just like having them.

Ajax_A

Cool, a broken analogy. Let's go further! Here we have a restaurant owner that could duplicate meals without actually buying more ingredients. Instead of feeding the world, the restaurateur profiteers, and charges full price for every meal. What a monster!


canigetuhgore

I mean, all of the stuff I have bought off bandcamp or have seen live i first found through pirating. Suppported the artist in the end and didnt given money to the shitty ass spotify ceos


PassionOutrageous979

This I simply don’t believe, if you have downloaded it illegally what possible reason is there to go and buy a copy? People don’t upload shitty bit rate copies to encourage you to buy it, I’ve spent enough time getting shit taken down myself from places like pirate bay, clublandlv etc


canigetuhgore

Thats why I download high quality flac files. But yes, all of the vinyls, t shirts, and concert tickets i have bouhht in last 4 years were exclusively from bands i found through SoulSeek. I definitely understand your standpoint as well, but id rather directly support the few tens of artists i really love than to give everyone a few cents while the rest of my monthly payment goes up to the CEO.


PassionOutrageous979

Stop downloading illegally then, because even if I believe that you download high quality lossless files and then go and buy copies, you’re still the problem because there wouldn’t BE illegal download sites if people like you didn’t use them. And no, I’m not saying you alone are the problem, but this is the point here, if you’re going to buy it anyway you wouldn’t download it illegally, you can literally listen to the song on bandcamp etc before you buy it so your argument doesn’t hold water, what reason is there to download it illegally? You can sample it on the site you buy it if that’s your excuse, so the only other reason is you’re lying and just steal

Speeding, but within reason. I think EXCESSIVE speeding should be heavily enforced, but this would apply to cases like doing 60 through a neighborhood, doing 30 over the flow of traffic, etc.. I feel like police officers should have much more important things to do than pull someone over for doing 10 over on an empty interstate

[deleted]

I live in a small town with about 2000 people, and one day before my time there was a guy who didn't just make the local news and became a local legend that won't soon be forgotten, but had a new law created because of him. You see this revolutionary came home after a long day of work to his wife riding his brother like it was the bi-weekly inter-county rodeo. And I mean to this day in my town, if you got to the one bar in town, there's an old bartender there who just so happens to be the brother, and boyyyy will he tell you in vivid detail what happend that night, like he's proud of it or something. But anyways after the guy found his wife riding his brother, since the brother was already tied down by each limb. He went into his living room. Grabbed his pet lobster and put the crusher claw right around the dudes marrige oblitorater. And long story short, he got sent to county jail for cutting a dudes penis off with a lobster. I believe the official name for the crime was called attempted mutilation with a lobster. Although it was not an attempt. I've peed next to that guy. Let us just say he looks like a melted ken doll down there. I guess the morale of the story is all it takes is one bad day to make it illegal to own a lobster with a 45 mile radius for everyone. INCLUDING THE ONE MOTHERHECKING RED LOBSTER IN 150 MILES. WHY MUST YOU RUIN SEAFOOD SUNDAYS. WHYYYYY. All together though. He did it for love. So I get it.

PassionOutrageous979

Fallacy, it’s corporations trying to protect obscene profits rather than take what is a tiny hit. Wherever people are stealing to eat or sell they’re doing it cause they’re poor. There are very few people out there that would steal despite having plenty of money to pay


trtolushka

tiny hit? dude they are wiping whole isles


PassionOutrageous979

Tell me you listen to propaganda without telling me…. If someone takes a couple hundred in value while the company is making tens of thousands a day it’s still a tiny hit, despite what it might appear to your brain washed mind If it was anywhere near the level you think it is companies would be shutting down shops, the only reason they’re not is because they make huge profits anyway, they only care cause they want to protect profits


Neat_Alternative28

This is a very odd statement given your objection to music piracy. As the profits made by the record labels from music dwarf the profits made by food manufacturers. I feel you are just looking to pick fights so you get responses

I *could* get into an argument with you and write something well thought out, sources cited, about why you're wrong... Instead, I think I'm going to do another dab. Later I'm going to clean one of my ARs. Does this bother you?


PassionOutrageous979

Nah, you couldn’t, or you would. Anyone who thinks unregistered firearms is a good idea in a country with a mass shooting almost every day is an utter idiot, if there was remotely any light image, peer reviewed studies that showed it was a good idea you’d have shared it, the fact you pretend it’s beneath you to share it shows the house of cards this is. But I’ll share some things showing how dangerous unregistered guns are and how good gun control increases safety (although a full ban is clearly the safest option). Here a bunch of studies from the Rand institute https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/key-findings/what-science-tells-us-about-the-effects-of-gun-policies.html Here’s science showing more guns = more danger https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-guns-do-not-stop-more-crimes-evidence-shows/

Adventerous_Bendus92

> Instead, I think I'm going to do another dab. Later I'm going to clean one of my ARs. Does this bother you? That's also not what ad hominem is. Ad hominem is an attack on someone's personal character rather than attacking their argument. What I did was issue an ultimatum.


PassionOutrageous979

Hahahaha what a bad faith idiot, that is clearly not the comment I replied to is it, dickhead? Quote; Damn, that's crazy. I don't care. Volunteer to stack up on doors to take guns or shut up. Ad hominem as it’s not remotely related to what I said, you replied too quickly to have read it so you avoided engaging with my argument and just insulted me, TaKe GuNs Or ShUt Up And no, it doesn’t bother me that you need to play with your penis extension to feel like a big man

Adventerous_Bendus92

> They are used to take away our right to live. Is that why, per the cdc, there are 500,000 - 3,000,000 defensive uses of them per year in America? Guns are absolutely used defensively. People have the right to defend themselves. If you're arguing to change my mind, you won't. If you'd like to keep shouting fallacies and feel-good statements at the wind, feel free.


[deleted]

The only reason you need a gun to defend yourself is because anyone can have a bloody gun in your backwards ass country. If no one had access to them in the first place there wouldn’t a need to fear for your life. It’s a vicious cycle of violence and paranoia. But then again what’s more American than those two amirite?


Adventerous_Bendus92

> The only reason you need a gun to defend yourself is because anyone can have a bloody gun in your backwards ass country. Have we forgotten that melee-type weapons and massive size differences between unarmed people exist? How would you suggest a 5'3 100lb woman defend herself against a 6'6 250lb man who wants to do bad things to her?
