No, no… you want a penis that can really do things. You want prehensile! See cetaceans and elephants for more details.

They have tried before (and are still trying) to make contraception illegal. The hobby lobby lawsuit about their insurance paying for birth control was a big part of that.

I know… and I also know that we currently depend on truck rigs for shipping in everything, so the taxes would ultimately focus on them MUCH MORE than even the assholes in their coal rollers. That would mean the ‘punishing’ factor of the taxation would be diluted for them, even if we used GCWR of a vehicle as the standard for taxing.

Is that why the guiness consumption is so high there? I never really thought of it as a sleep aid, but it is pretty drowsiness inducing.

The double their for they’re is driving me nuts.

is the equivalent of almost 150% of Denmark.

I chuckled. Weird comparison usage should be embraced! :D

No, your Ford F-350 SuperDuty does not entitle you to roll coal just to drive to and from your job at Bass Pro Shop, Dale.

I think if we just tax vehicles at the rate they destroy the road, we’d quickly see folks stop having giant vehicles. Set the standard as a bicycle (and be unreasonable about the weight, so 25kg), and then use the lovely X^4 function to determine how much to tax.

A bicycle (and let’s just say the average person is 100kg, and added to the bicycle’s weight, to be unreasonable again) costs $0.50 to register… while the f350 (found a weight for the lightest around 6000 lbs, or 2721.5kg) should be about $0.50 * (2721.5kg/125kg)^4 = $112347.47. I think that would do just fine. Maybe we could adjust down a little, so the bike could be $0.05, and the truck $11234.75.

Don’t forget that many were drafted and lied to.

I’ll give you that for vietnam… but even those fellas aren’t around in any great numbers anymore. I’ll even grant the first gulf war as a neutral, seeing as kuwait was invaded, but the politics around everything involved doesn’t really leave any ‘good guys.’

But anything since then? Fuck right off with that. My cousin went and joined up after 9/11, and it still is a mental fuck for him because he realized once he got there how idiotic the country was being to invade another with the idea of bringing freedom.

I was once on waterfox, but there was a weird happening a few years ago where they split it into a classic version and a newer fork, and the difference was something to do with ads and the browser’s interaction with them (the extensions that adblockers relied on, I think, from memory). I stayed on the classic for a little while before jumping to librewolf now.
