I was going to reply with the typical "gooble gobble gobble gobble" but yours is far superior.

GDPR was a good move. Hopefully others are soon on the way.

"less harshly" is not what the meme is OP responding to is saying. The meme is saying "vehicular manslaughter goes unpunished and you won't even be arrested" which isn't true at all.

My wife says: something with a lot of bass.

Probably just hating on Jordan Peterson and venting. I get it - I don't like making the bed, but it's not like there just aren't benefits of doing so lol

1. Having a tidy living space helps to provide some, and myself, with mental clarity. Honestly not sure how much of this is backed by science, and I'm lazy and don't want to look it up, but it seems to be true from personal experience.

2. If you have a thin sheet and a duvet, that stupid thin sheet can get all fucked up over time and you have to take the whole duvet off to fix the thin sheet and then making the bed becomes a much more annoying process. Doing at least a quick tidy up each night helps prevent having to do all of that.

Like you said, they should just leave others to living life the way they want to if it helps them and isn't hurting anyone else. That's like if someone said they hate it if someone eats broccoli from the stem first instead of the top. Like, who cares they're eating healthy, leave them alone lol

Still enjoying it!

Still reading "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami. I'm 2/3 of the way through it now and I hope to be close to 3/4 in the next few days.

I hope to read through Kafka on the Shore soon, so I'm not reading anything past the spoiler mention in your post, but I don't think you should force yourself to read something you don't want to read unless you really have to, or if you can see a positive in finishing it i.e. it's a difficult read for you and finishing it will make you a stronger reader, which is something you want.

My AP Lit teacher said Gravity's Rainbow was the most difficult book he ever read, and he highly recommended it. I'm terrified to try and tackle it, but I hope to do so one day. I'm going to focus first on some classics after I'm done with my current book.

Bare minimum would have been not pulling her over in the first place, or giving a warning. I've encountered cops in the past that ticketed me for things that I found out later I should not have been ticketed for, and they were dicks while they did it.

This wasn't the bare minimum, and they didn't abuse their power. Definitely wasn't a "bad cop".

Yeah I love it when he provides solutions.

Hard disagree. My wife was stopped due to expired registration on our car - My fault, long story. The cop gave her a fix it ticket. Nothing else happened. They're a good cop, or at least they were in that moment.

You know what would have happened if they were a bad cop in that moment? She would have been deported for having brown skin.

Good cops don't make headlines, but they exist, and I'm grateful for the good ones we've encountered.

That being said, bad cops can fuck right off.
