If one person goes by, he gets arrested. If hundreds go by, that's a different story.

The drivers on my morning commute seem to be taking collective action to ignore this particular law after a particular bus would regularly stop 6 lanes of traffic and just hang the sign out for no apparent reason, long after all the kids boarded and the parents disappeared back inside their apartment complex. Just sitting there with the sign out, lights flashing, no kids, and hundreds of cars backed up.

Not that any kids were crossing the 6 lanes in the first place, but now no one on the opposite side of the street stops for that bus. (The ones on the same side as the bus and the kids still stop.)

I'm sure someone took a video of it that got a lot of clicks on social media, where these politicians spend most of their time.

After it entered their field of vision, they couldn't let such an easy opportunity to "think of the children" and "reign in big tech" pass by. So they'll call for an investigation with their mouths, as their left hand takes cash from Waybro, and their right props up a pedophile president.

Wow. That's quite the blanket statement.

Do you need your comfort blanket, bootlicker?

Are you a killer? You're the reason Democrats hate guns, they know their own people are mentally unstable and liable to shoot up schools, businesses, and such.

Gun violence is an overwhelmingly reich wing phenomenon.

Transparency is still cool, but only when used on elements which can be transparent without screwing everything up.

I used to use Compiz with Emerald as the decorator and a liquid glass theme. But I didn't make window contents transparent, I only made title bars (and other decorations) translucent. The text and its drop shadow were fully opaque, same for the widgets, so it didn't create any readability problems whatsoever. But it did look neato.

Transparency isn't the problem, overdoing it is the problem.

People died. Quite gruesomely at that. For what turned out to be someone's stupidity, true.

No, for everyone's stupidity. Everyone involved including every passenger was an idiot. The only one who deserves any sympathy was the teen whose father pressured him into it, when he knew it was a bad idea and didn't want to go. Rush has been well known to be dismissive about safety concerns and random people on the internet knew that the hull wasn't fit for purpose and the main window wasn't rated for the depth. If you're getting into an experimental submarine without knowing more about it than people who only learned so they could make jokes about your probable fate, you're a fuckup.

When you combine that with the fact that it's a bunch of rich fucks who we're all supposed to believe got rich through merit in this chickenshit society, schadenfreude is the most appropriate response, and anything else is boot licking.
