Seriously, Can they stop mimicking real life driver behaviors?
"You shouldnt do that because thats not how it is in nature" is logic that can be used to get rid of everything but raw, fur covered meat and water from our diet.

I almost never see anyone talking about AOL proggies.
Those things were so legit. Half of them probably were viruses, but being able to run games in chatrooms and such were so awesome.
Man, it was amazing.
The internet was not a utility. It was not a necessity. It was not in 7 billion pockets. It was the refuge of nerds, techheads and the like.. a fancy, affordable refuge for the curious and weird.
Exploring websites via webrings, guestbooks, and a literal yellowpage website that listed known websites. Everything felt like an adventure, like you were a brave explorer charting unknown lands. Never getting use to the whimsy and wonder that you discovered around every turn.
And the chatrooms were nothing like they were today. All you knew was their handle/screen name. Social media didnt exist, the ironclad rule of telling no one your name, age, location was in full effect and respected by everyone. So you'd spend all night talking with people from all corners of the globe, on common interests and unique experiences. . laughing with eachother well into the night before you had to log off, on the promise of doing it all over again the next night.
There were no ads, viruses were rare (at least until the later 90s when KaZaA/eMule/etc popped up), the corporate hellscape and consolidation were still too far off to be considered by any but the most paranoid conspiracy theorists.. an absolute magical era of time.
Having your own lawyer is better than legal aid.
Having legal aid is better than having nobody/defending yourself. but you should verify whats said before you commit to any deals.
Legal aid isnt inherently bad, but the system definitely seeks to undermine the defense they can provide you by grossly under funding the legal aid system for the workload it has, that can result in situations where legal aid workers carry inhumanly large case loads and just arent able to give your case the time or attention it should receive.
Yep.
Everything he did, he did it wrong, and it was evilbad, because he was a black man in what had been, until that point, a role dedicated to white men.
And a solid 3rd of the country had a psychotic break because a man with the wrong colored skin won the oval office.
Modding is the kind of job that I think would automatically disqualify anyone that asks to become one outside of a very narrow set of circumstance (current mod mia, community dead and an user active in it trying to get control to revive it)
He's sure his AI will figure out that problem for him.
because online, stupid people with bad opinions cant shoot/stab/assault you when they cant handle legitimate criticism and facts.
Unlike real life, where people just smile, nod, and get the fuck away.
the whole raw milk fiasco is, of course, idiots running wild with only having partial information because they cant listen to a full explanation of anything as that would be inconvenient to their agendas..
There is some legitimate criticism against ultra pasteurization because it scalds things like milk at such an insanely high temperature, that it does indeed kill pathogens, but it also damages the nutrition and flavor as well, even though it only holds that temperature very briefly, typically 5 or less seconds.
lower temperature pasteurization, like flash pasteurization makes a better tasting product, thats still just as safe, because it uses half the temperature of ultra but has to hold it for 15-30 seconds.. and in the world of MAKE MOAR MONEY FASTERER, thats just no good for the bottlers, even if it provides a product that is superior in taste and nutrition, but with the downfall of shelf life (but the shelf like is still like..2 weeks, and who is gonna keep milk around that long anyway)
of course, all the idiot brigade hears is "PASTEURIZATION BAD!" and come to the brilliantly stupid conclusion that, to get the most health benefit, that they gotta suck it straight from the dirt and shit covered teat.
Then have the audacity to act all shocked when they pick up all the shit-born diseases.
Lots do, but credit card warriors tend to be more active since they have FOMO and the whole idea of "I paid for all this, I'm losing money if I dont play!"

My town currently has 4 highway on/off ramps. one on the far right (where the yellow and green lines start), one in the middle right above my industrial area, one in the middle left, between my farms/logging industry, and a 4th one off screen to the further left that goes to a seaport.
I would assume that traffic would follow the yellow line, using the offramps near their destinations.
instead, ALL the traffic coming into my city, is coming in on the far right and weaving through my surface streets (a 4 lane road, not highway, ring road, and 2 lane connector roads), causing massive traffic headaches and even bigger backups as they try to follow the green line to get to the far left through my city.
Why are my Cims dumb and bombing through the middle of my city, instead of taking the highway?
and another topic.. this torrential crush of vehicles coming in off that one far right offramp regularly causes huge backups for 4+ chunks on the right highway. I have lane mathmatics. I have a very long runup where they have plenty of time to get over. I still get idiot Cims taking the furthest lane just to get ahead of the crush before stopping and trying to merge in right before the offramp.
I miss TM:PE traffic lines.

Yep. I remember AOHell and Firetoolz specifically, though I'm sure i had others, lol.

AOL deserved all the hate it got, but it was also such a great place to be.. Keywords, chatrooms galore, AIM, it was definitely a magical time.
