That reminds me of REI in America. They’re technically a member-owned co-op, but they’re definitely a huge corporation making buckets for somebody, probably the leadership. So a non profit version of that

That makes sense to me

I am just wondering who would do all the work of warehousing, distributing, etc., if there was no profit motive.

People have sex in youth hostels though

Yeah but you don’t have to stay in that room. You have freedom.

One time I accidentally said a kid’s name on a 2-way radio, and we were not supposed to use their names over the airwaves.

I’m not sure if I had critics thought, it was just a mistake

The wire

If it’s a fine then it’s effectively only illegal for poor people – unless the fine scales with wealth

Wouldn’t that just push sales into the black market? Unless the government nationalized the sale of cigarettes, which seems… not great, if they believe in smoking cessation

Like maybe there is a word missing in the title of the submission

Is this a trick?

Trailer park :/

Entrapment exists because people need a legal defense against law enforcement getting them to do a crime.

Even if it’s a public place, if he was a business (and maybe he his because it’s a yt channel) he may need to give you a model consent form before sharing your likeness

There is a theory that sanctions against a country with a tyrannical ruler hurt the common people more than the oligarchs / dictator. But eventually they do make life more difficult for that ruler

He had such a way with music. I saw the “we are the world” documentary and it was amazing to be a fly on the wall and watch him work with all those musicians

Indubitably (wtf)

I loved it! The zombeh attack were the only videos I knew, but I watched them many times.

Even today I associate the Shaun of the Dead theme song more more with Edd than with Shaun.

Also,

It… I. I. …I… It’s Tort!

Imo it’s a waste for police to pull anyone over for this, unless they’re actually a danger to someone. Biking and being on the phone is way safer than driving a 1000 pound battering ram with limited visibility doing the same.

I used to bike like this when I was a teenager, and I try not to now. If someone was in the crosswalk, I’d slightly adjust my speed and path to pass behind or in front of them as space allowed, just like they were any other obstacle. Because I didn’t realize how unpleasant it feels to be startled by a bike going past, or even if you know they’re coming it’s still uncomfortable that they’re going fast.

As a biker it took me a lot of life experience to realize that even if the situation was perfectly safe (I’ve always been in control and never hit anyone), pedestrians are not unreasonable for disliking bikes riding fast in their personal space.

But in a lot of countries, bikes have to be like pedestrians sometimes because the bike infrastructure is so spotty or non-existant. You’ll try to use the bike path but it just ends. Or there’s so safe way to turn left, or whatever.

But in other places, like Berlin, Germany, old people will yell at you if you’re biking in the wrong place and it’s pretty great because there’s usually a good bike path right there that you could be using.

PS. In my walking experience, bikes are way more likely to see me if I’m crossing a crosswalk than cars. Sometimes cars drive right through when you’re waiting to cross, where a biker will usually acknowledge me and let me cross.
