I unfortunately don't see how that could ever work as no matter what work around is given in case of emergencies, they'd just use it for non emergencies anyway

How does a toll by plate arrangement work if it can't read your plate? Where I'm from (not the US) all pay by plate places require you to have signed up for their service with, typically, a credit card, in order to use them.

Yeah that could work, as long as we keep the third party neutral and actually neutral, not in favour of just letting cops do what they want

Finally. We should have stopped the practice entirely when we killed them off during Covid.

Kidnappings, robberies, crimes of similar natures

But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s

I think that was the point

Not throwing my garbage in the wild makes me have no idea how often straws end up in the ocean, so it seemed like a wild thing to go after.

Any idea if it's people dumping all this stuff in the wild or if it's because we throw it out in our bins that it somehow gets to the ocean?

Very true, but be careful not to end up in an echo chamber

According to the article the conservative party in Canada has also suggested it, in order to fix the "hate" young Canadians are starting to have for Canada.

We are on lemmy shitpost, so I wouldn't take it seriously

Good to see that we are once again using the excuse of protecting children for why this is perfectly fine

That means an average U.S. citizen uses 1,46 straws a day. What the fuck are you guys doing? Compare that to the U.K. where it's 0,18 by your own numbers.

I agree with all except the "Check out of national politics" part. You cant decide who is President anymore, but you should still keep an eye on what national laws they may pass or should be prevented from passing

Well a pack a day for 30 years is "only" about 10957 packs. If a vape is equal to 20 packs a day, you only need to vape for 548 days to have surpassed your lead intake.

So if they've been vaping his entire first presidency, then they have at least 40 years worth of lead intake.

They clearly gave us the biggest hint in 2000

I'd take breath income, purely because it's passive. If you ever lose your legs, you lose your income, but if I ever stop breathing, it's no longer my problem that I have no more income

We do? Guess my history lessons didn't cover this. I thought we were all equal, apart from the US only joining during the last half

I don't know about other people, but I myself would like to one day build a snowman and run it over. Something about driving through a snow pile and making it "explode" just sits right with me. Would never run someone else's snowman over though, as they built it for their own reasons.

I think it's shaping the perception that guys tend to spend more time playing video games compared to women, or at least that is the view from a societal standpoint
