Unable to make bail criminalizes poverty

And some people still think women have it easier... smh

Pitbulls are also the most abused species of all, because of some small-dicked asshats using them as status symbols or intimidation devices. Poor mistreated animals, shelters full with them.

makes a lot of sense from what i’ve seen on the road.

I'm certainly not one of them. When I drive I make sure I activate my turn signal when I leave the driveway and leave it on for the duration of the journey

Worldwide? In a given country?

It used to be that you could buy optional extras for your vehicle, such as metallic paint or a sunroof. I think it's indicators nowadays. Or, the drivers who don't indicate where necessary are telepathic and the rest of us mere mortals haven't learned how to read their minds yet?

Over here it's fashionable to turn on your blinkers WHILE taking a turn, not before. "Hey look, I'm taking a turn!" ::sigh::

I often wonder how some people have passed a driving test.

Not signalling makes me wanna punch people in the throat.

I don't think Beemers even come with one - I've never seen a driver actually use on in those cars

I was at an intersection and this person had their left blinker on and was in the left turning lane only to go straight instead. They would have t-boned me if I would have assumed they were telling the truth

One of the best items I ever bought was a dash-cam. The latest model I have also has a rear facing camera as well. Would never, ever be with out one ever again.

We are a society that prioritizes cars over people. People driving cars think they are invincible- and especially those who find automobile laws stupid - speed limits, stop signs, turn signals, etc...... Biggest blame is the automobile lobby who DIRECTLY impact this mindset. They certainly don't want pedestrians and cyclists to be a priority.

Beemer drivers. Who else ;-)

Defensive drivers avoid accidents by paying attention to the cars around them, not the signals they may or may not be using.

I'd like to see the data sets used to derive this stat. Seems rather hazy. Who did the reporting? Witness statements, forensic data? There is so much variation in law enforcement data collection that, as much as it feels accurate, I don't believe it's meaningful.

It's not just BMW and AUDI drivers now, even the Police don't use INDICATORS!

I am so glad my car screams at me if something is too close

In North Wales it’s illegal to indicate on a roundabout……………I presume? 🙄

And people are running res lights alot more than they used to simply because they don't want to wait another round of lights. SMH

Sounds like b******t to me. It's nice to know that somebody is going to turn, but if failure to signal is a factor it's pretty much always because somebody wasn't paying attention to what's actually happening. I really can't figure out how failure to signal actually causes an accident.

Where is the documentation for this? If you got into an accident because the car in front of you didn't use their turn signal it means that YOU weren't paying attention!

Always need the D

Guns, I really really hate guns. People wonder why crime has increased its because of the guns. It's to easy to get them they don't check for the things like sings of suicidal thoughts or anything in the process of buying.

We know. They gave up avocado toast to get where they are. No other way to explain it

I wonder what the figures are for vehicles with touchscreens and accidents.

Oh I bet they can.... they just don't wanna tell you

Reservations are a form of segregation.

And then when you reach 69, you are so blissful because you can't remember the bad life you had.

I would guess it’s higher than 1 in 7 unfortunately. Remember, when you seek mental health they have to write you up for something so they can bill insurance. At least in the US.

I spend all day with myself and I'm not a big fan of me so of course I'm going to pick apart every aspect of myself and the lack of self esteem won't let me gloss over the crappy bits of my being. Depression can lead to deep introspection that will either drive you further down the hole or can help you recognize patterns in your life that trigger your symptoms. Can be a useful side effect or a curse.

I did not know that before I lost my first baby. People should talk more about this. Young women should be prepared.

I was once asked if i'd ever kissed a man to which i replied no only for him to then force his tongue down my throat. Did i report it? no because no one cares when its a man being assaulted.

But don't dismiss the importance of pressing charges. It may scare the perpetrator when suddenly faced with any consequences. It could make them not want to risk doing it again. Also a record of accusations may help getting a guilty verdict in a later rape trail.

in the USA...

Being in Rwanda at the moment, which has banned non-reusable plastics, this can change its just it is expensive to do so and so governments do not

I have known several men whose entire mood and outlook on life is based on how their favorite sports team is doing, and I think that's the most ridiculous thing in the world. Sports are for entertainment and the second that you make it your life, you're going to be disappointed.

We didn't evolved to be sedentary creatures, gotta use it or you lose it as they say.

Source: Pulled from my a*s? This century, Gallup polling has consistently shown the percentage of Americans not reading any book in the past year at between 16 and 18%. That's just "in the past year", not "never reads books", though I imagine a sizeable part of those who don't read a book even once in a whole a year probably don't read at all. Still, absent better evidence, it's probably closer to 10% than 60.

21000 now and counting.

Best wishes and long life to recovering Pandas

But try to get some decent maple syrup in Tokyo.

OR, more likely, one in ten women put “father not known” on their child's birth certificate. If the Father wants to be on the birth certificate, and he is not married to the mother, HE HAS TO BE THERE WHEN THE BIRTH IS REGISTERED and agree. And he then gets paternal rights, and duties, in bringing up the child.

Nuclear is the safest best way forward as of right now.

I just wash my hands in my pee, such a time saver!

These stats will never cease pissing me off. Almost all of Bezos "wealth" is directly tied to the value of his amazon stock, of which he retains 10.5%. This is true for almost all the much hated billionaires....they have STOCK, not 100 billion sitting in the bank. And because they are board members, or executives, they cannot sell that stock withOUT multiple levels of approval.....because if bezos decided to dump all his shares, not only would he get a fraction of a penny of the supposed value....but amazon would cease to exist, 1.5 million people would be unemployed and countless people wouldn't get their very important overnight delivery of edible underwear, twinkies and condoms. The only way they have money to spend, is either by trading stock....or taking loans out against that stock....because a loan is a debt.....that money is not taxed up until the point stock is actually sold TO COVER THE DEBT. Which is why musk paid $11 billion in taxes last year.
