Well you can start driving in US at 15

Like I said quick Google

Even less Germans driving, proves my point more

Germans only really drive if they are willing and able

Americans are forced to drive

Car deaths in America aren’t happening because they have automatic transmissions and can’t drive as fast as they want.

Just the seer amount of drivers, more cars on roads to crash into, and less willing and able drivers.

Quick Google

In 2024 36% of Germans reported using the car daily.

In 2023 95.3% of Americans older than 16 drive on occasions.

83 million Germans, 63% above 16

340 million Americans, 65% above 16

52 million potential drivers in Germany, 17 million actually drive

221 million potential drivers in America, 210 million drive daily

17 million vs 210 million daily drivers

~12x more drivers, only 2x more death

Per capita isn’t really a way to look at it

Besides automatic cars or lack of a manual transmission is not causing accidents.

Chance of death goes up significantly with speed

No one has ever crashed because they couldn’t go over the speed limit

Bank robber. Get away driver.

Would be a good analogy.

Yes, the bank robber shot and killed the clerk.

But they are both bank robbers

Who is more evil? The one that does the act or the one that enables it?

Astroturf. Much homey

I’m 25% Finnish (Grandmother)

I enjoy saunas

Is 25% enough to enjoy other Finnish things?

“Free”

Nothing is free

Someone paid for the fountain. Either you, your neighbor, your friend, or your fellow countryman. But someone.

Why nickel and dime everyone that is probably never going to even see the fountain instead of letting the people that want/need pay for it?

Cold filtered water at just a single park you regularly go to is probably worth 3 bucks a month.

If extra money went to park improvements, that would be even better.

I don’t see why everyone wants “free” when it’s just a hidden cost that you’re probably paying anyways. Yes, probably costs more for the people that use the service more, but that’s the way it should be.

Personally I’d rather save 20 dollars on my taxes and bring water to the park. Even still tap water is just fine.

Why would I even want to pay 5 dollars more in taxes so someone doesn’t have to bring a water bottle?

This is a premium service that shouldn’t be the burden of the taxpayer.

It’s “I can excuse animal cruelty, but I draw the line on abortion”

They mean a day old chicken that has hatched. They are comparing a human embryo to a live chick.

If it is a male chicken that is not going to lay eggs, it will get shredded

To my knowledge they do not have an inexpensive way, let’s be honest any way that costs any money is probably not going to be used unlessed forced, to find the sex of the chicken before it is hatched.

It’s called chick culling if your interested in reading about how 7 billion male chick’s get shredded each year worldwide.

So a Japanese character that I’ve never heard speak English says something in Japanese. English words pop up on screen.

You’re telling me you read the English words in a random Japanese/English accent? Like a stereotype voice?

I find subtiles distracting

I read the words that pop up on the screen in my own voice in my head and basically ignore the voices because I can not understand them anyways.

I enjoyed Death Note in dubbed

I enjoyed Alice in Boarderlands in subbed, dubbed was bad

I’m split on Money Heist. My friend showed me it in English and I watched the whole first episode without realizing it was dubbed. Trying to watch it subbed after that was like the characters were not speaking the language I thought they did. It was weird.

I can see some people hating the lips not matching up, but I don’t really look at.

Maybe if I was big into subbed shows I’d like them more and I’m sure I’d get better at enjoying subtitles.

But I am the kind of person that would want to rewind a movie or show because I didn’t understand what a character said. I hate feeling like I am missing important information.

Sleepaway Camp

They would only be in a bad situation because minimum wage is low and they will be missing tips.

A pizza driver in the US is guaranteed at least minimum wage while they are on the clock.

To my knowledge, Uber style delivery services are not going to fire you for not working a night.

The typical pizza place has managers that will force workers to work. If you are forced to work and someone calls in a pizza, you are forced to deliver.

Im sure there are people out there that have 4x4s and enjoy the extra tips in the hazardous conditions.

But you could also be risking some poor soul life that’s being forced to deliver in their Honda civic.

Those people can’t say no to their managers in fear of being fired. It’s what the whole comment was about. They can’t quit, fired could be worse.

A delivery driver is already towards the bottom of the job ladder

Not many can say “I can be without work for a week or two while I look for a better/safer job”

Can they say no? Yes, can they really say no? Probably not

Coke does an inaugural bottle for every president

This is just the first diet one

Same style as every other inaugural coke

Coke has been doing this every year.

He probably wanted to be special and the ability to say “First DIET coke inaugural bottle”

From the comments here, it seems like his plan of making people think Coke is doing it to endorse him is working.

It’s misleading

This is the first diet coke, not the first inaugural coke.

So “Company continues its tradition with making a special inaugural coke bottle”

Them not doing it would be more of a political statement

Could be a better term for “Hash Browns”

Potato + Hash = Potash

Hash could be anything chopped up. Really should say Potato Hash Browns to be specific.

Could say Potash Browns or simply Potash

How is slavery bad for capitalism?

Slavery is amazing for capitalism.

Slavery is cheap labor.

Capitalism loves cheap labor.

Most toilet bowls are made of porcelain, which is different from plain ceramic.
