I find it hard to believe that anyone actually believes all the surveillance fear mongering given how much surveillance actually occurs in reality. But then again, people have repeatedly shown themselves to be that stupid.

 

I’m sure the folks in this community are intelligent enough not to waste time reading National Review, but this is what passes for the conservative “intellectual” argument to keep killing ourselves and others.

By this logic, we shouldn’t have put any limits on tobacco, or required seatbelts.

I love that he just completely ignores the very real ecological impacts of cars in favor of freedom (to sit in traffic and pay an exorbitant amount of fees to insurance companies).

Speaking of freedom, he invokes the specter of surveillance in cities, but cars are literally just rolling computers now that already gather an incredible amount of our data.

There’s so many things wrong with the arguments in this piece, but they all kind of amount to vibes. I guess the author feels like auto drivers are oppressed 🙄.

Following the laws is suspicious? 🤔

It really does seem like driving is the only activity in which laws are mostly optional. Every driver complains about cyclists not following the rules of the road, but they do things that are illegal or fail to take require actions all the time: speeding, rolling stops, switching lanes or turning without blinkers, illegal u-turns, etc. But if confronted it’s just “eh, it’s not a big deal, who cares?”

 

From this article about several cities lowering the speed limit of certain rods by 5mph.

This commenter always complains on any article about transportation.

 

Seeing how hard this team has fought to get back into games, and get taken seriously, has been awesome

 

The last Shark named ROTM was Tomas Hertl 👀

 

Celebrini’s OT winner against Cam Talbot of the Detroit Red Wings was just 🤌

I feel that way about most other major sports (at least in North America). I like that in hockey we can get several minutes worth of action at a time; I get so bored by football games because it’s like 7 seconds of play followed by setting everyone back up, or commercials, or flags everywhere.

Enjoy this feeling boys because who knows how long we won’t be the very last.

I’m bummed that she no longer posts. Her voice and hand sounds were great.

 

This was a really solid game from Vitek, and I know it was a preseason game, but hopefully this wasn’t a fluke.

 

With the talent being developed and the veterans brought in by Big Money GMMG I think this year is the start of the upward trajectory for the Sharks.

 

I know this was a really bad season for the team, but I’m looking forward to next year. It seems like the players are looking forward to recovering and using the offseason to grow.

Our prospects seem really good, and we have the best odds in the draft. I also think we’re going to see a lot of good things in the Lund line.

This was the team that sparked my love for hockey, so I’m gonna be waving that teal flag at the Shark Tank.
