It's a wee bit to the stabbers left yeah?

Runs right through the liver iirc (or is the vena cava different?)

I've eaten several roadkill deer lol.

Limits what you can do with the meat, but it's still venison.

Both of these things can be true though.

Also in this case that hitch isn't effectively blocking any space the truck wasn't already ( with the trash can there, so much if the sidewalk is impassable due to the truck the hitch is practically a non-factor).

Generally the bigger concern about them is increased damage in a rear end collision.

Not sure how a kid of a stockbroker and a marketing exec is at all "working class"

I don't disagree with the general premise.

But saying "this quarry hauler is only barely worse than pickup trucks" when it takes double the distance to see one...feels disingenuous. Same with the "this tractor cab has better visibility but requires a special license", yeah cause a heavy laden trailer massively increases the stopping distance and requires a more advanced skill set.

I also feel like the kinda situations where "a three year was suddenly less than 1m from my bumper with zero warning" is more of a walkability/road design/driver awareness issue than one specifically solvable by increased visibility. I'm also aware I'm no traffic safety scientist; also more visibility is of course better.

I feel like this focuses on something that's rooted more in emotion than logic or data, but there is a link between hood height and pedestrian injury severity iirc, and lowering that does increase visibility as a result.

Spend 8 years watching both parties ignote their struggles, and then vote for the one that's actively promising to make them worse?

Bold move, Cotton.

I guess "default to assuming it's untrue" wasn't how I should've put it.

If they told me the sky was blue, I wouldn't say they're wrong but I'd probably still look up just to be sure.

Hmm yes, to save the democracy one must absolutely kill the democracy. We just have to suspend certain rights and liberties until "the enemy within" is rooted out.

Certainly not fascism.

Wouldn't we all, but needs must when the devil drives.

Wounded Knee (the second one not the original one) was 1973.

Kent State in '70. The Bonus Army (homeless WWI vets) in the 30s. Blair Mountain (coal miners on strike) and the Tulsa Race Massacre in '21.

Only a half dozen times in the last 100 years or so.

So, considering the stranglehold the two party system has on American politics....what was the right answer?

Vote for a third party candidate, that is systemically prevented from attaining a position?

Yeah the Democratic Party is tragically obsessed with pandering to the right and holding their "moderate" position; but damage control is damage control.

You should default to assuming anything Fox says is untrue without a second source to verify. Because legally they can just say whatever they want and aren't beholden to any type of journalistic standards because they aren't news.

They have no more credibility than a random social media user.
