  • It’s honestly great, I used to have a partner that we would take turns reading chapters to each other. If we went on a road trip the person is the passenger seat would read while the other was driving. We would read many nights. Immersive worlds and characters would give us new things to talk about and get us thinking/talking about what might happen when we weren’t reading. When we went to work you’d find yourself thinking/yearning to be back with them so you could experience more of the stories together. The adventures of the characters seemed to push us to want to venture out and travel more as well. Ive never went on as many trips as I did in those years. We lived and dreamed together, it was wonderful.



  • The number of truck drivers whos first language wasn’t English who made deliveries for the distributer I worked with recently was high. The number of times that speaking to them came into the scope of their job was 0. They pulled up, backed a truck up at 3:30am once a week and handed us an invoice. They take a nap while we unloaded the back, then they left. Driving through the night doesn’t require you to speak, it requires you to be awake and have decent eyesight/perception. They could have been missing their left leg for all we cared. Trucking is like clock work. If you want groceries with the freshest dates in stores when they open, you need as many people willing to drive overnight and early morning workers to get them from the distributors to the stores and on the shelves before anyone wants to wake up.







  • So what’s the angle here? Are we supposed to be mad at the LAPD for requesting footage from the surrounding area of a guy getting run down by a car? It seems like an extremely warranted reason to gather the footage. If people are worried about privacy then they need to fight for laws pertaining to backdoors and strict guidelines on when/why cameras can be supenoed. I believe it is highly likely a large majority would have voted for this to be a situation where it was turned over legally.

    “If a person is being charged with a felony for hurting another person and a judge grants it then it should be allowed. If the charges don’t lead to a conviction then it should be reviewed by a 3rd party organization of whether it should have been warranted originally. Infractions result in penalties/ dismissals of requesting parties”

    Something like that much more flushed out would be reasonable.
