Each car needs a separate policy, but if you get all your policies through one company they are likely to throw a discount at you for multiple cars. OTOH, it also means if you get in an accident or get a pile of tickets your rates will probably go up on all of them. And, of course, you probably don't need collision on a shitbox car that's paid off.

It may also make a difference what you use them for. They may give you a lower rate if they know it is not used daily. I know someone with an old 60's-era Mustang, he has it on a special policy that is much cheaper because it's for classic cars only. But there is a limit to how much he can drive it in a year before his rates go up. It's basically for old cars that you only drive to car shows or just to show off, and keep off the road entirely in the winter.

Don't you think he looks tired?

So, as long as some humans are successfully making new humans, whether or not the rate is exactly 2.3 is irrelevant. World population has been skyrocketing for the past 100 years. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for that to backslide a bit. It can probably go down 5x and we'd still feel like the place is crowded.

The only thing to worry about is some widespread event that affects fertility workdwide. Like what if these micro plastics are really getting into our testicles and reducing sperm counts? They are getting everywhere. If men everywhere started shooting mostly blanks then we would all be in a panic.

It's super cheap, though, so a good fit for young people with no money who can withstand its famous effects on your bodily functions.

Your downvotes are likely the ones who get those.... issues.... with Genny Cream Ale

They want to confuse things to normalize coups. "Jan 6 was no big deal because Democrats stage coups too."

Joe Morelle has been doing awesome lately. No doubt fueled by late-night Garbage Plates and Genny Cream Ale.

Yes, but only for Republicans. See, there is no "R" in the word Invalidate, but there is a "D". Checkmate, liberals! You can't logic your way out of that one!

.... and then got him convicted on charges of illegally possessing a weapon. Must have been massive.

Well, if the choice is between being perceived as a creep vs watching the kid get hurt, I'll pick the option that doesn't end with an injured kid. But if the kid is just wandering and not in danger, like I said, there's no reason to intervene, for just the reason you listed.

It all comes down to a lack of empathy. These people made their own life choices that worked out for them personally, but can't get their head around the notion that other people can make different life choices (or have the choice made for them due to circumstances beyond their control).

It's like they perceive only one path to happiness - the path they took - and look with disdain on anyone who is doing it differently.

I'm sure Vance read Aniston's story and was secretly thinking to himself "Hah! That's what you get when you promote your career over your family", while booking several campaign trips which will take him away from his kids for weeks at a time.

Like, physically block them from going in the road by walking in front of them and say "Hey, is that your mommy over there? Go to her".

You obviously missed the part where the SCOTUS declared that former Presidents (and Founding Fathers) have had the right to molest the flag all along. Ben Franklin called it the Writ of Flageus Gropus. He may have been drunk at the time, though, and confused the barmaid for a flag.

Oh, if I'm asked, it's a different story. It means the mom needs the help and does not mind it. But it's a sad fact that too many people (particularly in the US) are paranoid and their mind immediately goes to the worst possible scenario in a new situation. So if I offer without any context whatsoever, they will think I'm some sort of weirdo.

I've been given the stink eye before while at a playground -- while watching my kids. Hey, Karen, sometimes dads help out with the kids, too!

Dad here. I simply don't offer if it involves their kids, it is far too likely to be misconstrued. Plus, that mom is probably doing all she can to keep it together, and knowing that someone noticed could put her in a worse place mentally. If I'm out with my wife, she has offered out help before, and that is much less likely to be judged. It's just a fact.

(I will offer to do things like take the shopping cart back, but I would do that regardless of whether they have kids with them or not.)

I have sometimes seen little kids wander off while their mom wasn't looking. I do pay attention to where they go, and try to keep them in sight. Sometimes it might have only looked like they were wandering, only to find they were going toward another trusted adult. But other times you can see that moment of panic on the mom's face when they realize what happened. It's enough to be able to point and say "they went that way" and they can go get the kid themselves.

I won't interfere unless the kid is going into a dangerous situation, like a street or into water. Even then, I won't touch the kid unless it's the last possible thing to do to keep them safe, I am more likely to get in their way and ask them where their parents are.

Well, that and he knew that he could grift lots and lots of money from people as long as it was for a "campaign". Plus, if he claims that everything anyone ever does is "election interference", then it becomes easier to justify using campaign funds for everything.

In fairness, Democrats got totally fucked by the redistricting done by the Special Master for the 2022 Congress. That guy might have given the Republicans their majority all on his own. They ended up having to redo the map for 2024. The tweaks are very minor, but look to be a lot fairer this time around.

Sentencing was supposed to be two weeks ago, but got moved to September while they work out whether the bogus SCOTUS ruling applies to the case.
