I still struggle with this a bit, lol. I mean, it orbits the sun (though elliptical and not in the same plane as the other planets) and has its own moon. :(

In other news, since I got my little ticket last week, I've seen no less than 4 other cars pulled over by :narc: on the same exact road where I was. They're definitely pulling in some :troywax: , lol.

The moon is like 2/3 size of Pluto which makes no sense

I struggle with the cops/revenue comments… since it’s not like they go to the PD bottom line.

Could you imagine if cops got commission for issuing tickets/fines? Fuck that’d be a shit show.

Some claim that they have “quotas” I suppose it’s case by case basis based on department. But at least with the chp that wasn’t the case here. And I went on a few ridealongs

Ours is an unusually large moon in relation to the size of our planet, yes, but what exactly "makes no sense"? :iono:

Depends on the cops I suppose. Federal/State police doesn't hit town... but do "town" cops really issue traffic citations? They don't have jurisdictions on freeways etc here.

:tits: is seriously depressed and in a terrible mood. She rebounded after the miscarriage OK and the kind of spiraled down, she feels like all of her friends have kids and she has nothing in common with them anymore, hates her job, has to have surgery this week to remove part of the fetus that somehow got missed by the other doctors ( :wtf: ), looking to start IVF again but at this point we're both :disgust: with it all

My dad is degrading at a very rapid rate and my mom is trying really hard but isn't really cut out to be a caretaker and is struggling

I'm eating/drinking my feelings and slowly getting :fatty:

Trying to 'fix' our yard after the trees fell and smashed our shed is a huge pain and another thing :tits: is frustrated by, but she doesn't want to commit to spending money on anything

:ohwell:

I have been actually daily driving the GR86 all week and I will say, exploding motor and all, I love driving this car. All of my coworkers kind of went nuts over it like it was some amazing thing and I'm rich AF which is also kind of fun.

I'm in final interviewing stages for a job at Bosch on their audio team which honestly seems pretty great and I'm tempted to jump to if the opportunity comes through.

I think this is a real thing in small towns where it truly is their municipalities biggest revenue stream. There are some little shit towns between Charlotte and the NC/SC coast for example. Everyone must drive through them, they deliberately drop from 55 MPH highways to 25 MPH in the towns and are very well known for pulling these shenanigans.

In the city of Charlotte, you have to be fucking up pretty good two get pulled, I think they have bigger fish to fry.

But you paid $25 :lolol: Surely that is way less than the cost of pulling you over ( :narc: salary, fuel/mileage, etc).

It was $50 and took probably 15 minutes total so I'm sure they came out ahead.
