I was just reading through the statute:
Does that actually apply to the debt collectors from ABC?

Also, does it even matter if I waited six hours to blow? I could've easily had two drinks and been totally sober by then.
One of the cops was already heading back to his cruiser because we’d basically settled things regarding the fix and since there was barely any property damage $117, but then the other guy just went out of his way to write me up! It's like that saying: "Don't try to help someone, just screw them over instead!" haha

Any offenses committed before December 31, 2007, are governed by the old statutes, regardless of whether the report was filed with the municipal court at 12:02 AM on January 1, 2008.

As for those officers working in pairs... hahaha... let me tell you a story. A car hit me in a crosswalk, the ambulance rushed me off, and the local police held the scene until the traffic investigators arrived. The traffic unit conducted their investigation without me being present because I was stuck in trauma care over at the hospital... those very same investigators showed up at the hospital two hours later, just as I was emerging from my recovery, bandaged up and hobbling down the hallway. There they were: two guys, one rookie and one seasoned veteran. They sat me down while the kid just stood there watching, and the veteran started scribbling my statement into a little notepad. Then, he actually suggests I have a smoke, looking utterly baffled when my breathalyzer comes back at a perfect 0.00000. He tells me, "The gentleman said you were yelling at him!" (Please, I’ll just laugh and thank him for picking me up 🙄). I gave the young guy a subtle tilt of my head—just enough to make him wonder if the waiting room floor had been properly sanitized... the kid looked away, and the veteran tells me they’re filing reports against the driver for hitting me AND against me for running a red light... which I DID NOT do! He just shrugged and said, "Well, that’s for the court to decide," then pulls a scrap of paper out of his notepad, hands me his cell number, and says, "Once you've recovered a bit, give me a call so we can grab coffee somewhere in town." 🙂

Regardless of how it plays out, if you accept the summons to court and they throw anything at you that isn't just a warning and $33 court costs, you should demand a confrontation with BOTH officers who were on the scene. Either you'll manage to push it into the statute of limitations (because those bureaucrats almost never show up), or you'll get the chance to ask why they bothered testing my breath six hours later—basically when I'd be sitting at home having dinner—and why one officer insisted on the whole ordeal while the other was busy daydreaming on the job. 😉👍

I find myself immediately drawn into this "shady" line of questioning... specifically, I’ve heard whispers from certain circles that when the payment notice arrived at $167, they settled the $17entirety of the debt using the exact same reference number provided... however, due to some absolute incompetence over at the Municipal Court—where it seems logic goes to die—the statute of limitations expired, and now nobody owes a single damn thing 😁

Is there any truth to these rumors?

Is it an eyelash root growing out of control... or did you just pick a fight with a pregnant woman? 😈 (A stye)

So, with San Francisco Pride approaching—and given how relevant this topic feels right now—I’ve been chewing on a thesis that was previously mentioned. Mind you, these are just my own musings; I haven't backed any of this up with actual scientific research or anything of the sort.

Let's break it down step by step:

It’s basic human nature, really—people tend to lash out when they feel threatened. From that perspective, I can somewhat grasp the logic behind certain homophobe panics—that irrational fear that some overly feminine guy is going to show up and somehow force a change upon you.

But that premise is fundamentally flawed, isn't it? Because, let's be honest, you don't simply "become" gay through external pressure.

Fear of the unknown tends to manifest in two distinct ways: one group of people reacts with curiosity, seeking to understand what they don't know, while the other group—well, they just swing wildly at shadows.

On the flip side, there's the fear of social rejection, which can also trigger aggression. It's that crushing realization that you might belong to a group that society dislikes—the fear of being mocked or physically targeted. In an attempt to distance themselves from their true selves, some people choose to surround themselves with diametrically opposed social circles just to prove they aren't what they truly are.

It is quite interesting, though, that the most vocal homophobes often belong to groups composed almost entirely of men—think aggressive sports hooligans, Skinheads, and the like.

There have even been documented cases in Germany where Skinheads would beat someone up, only for one of them to follow it up by giving the victim his phone number to "hang out" later. A bit of a strange contradiction, wouldn't you say?

That leads me to my question: Is the suppression of one's own sexual orientation capable of fueling a total, visceral hatred toward it?

Just to be clear, I'm not looking to offend anyone here—neither homophobes nor homosexuals. I'm genuinely curious if anyone else has reached similar "empirical" conclusions through their own observations.

If you ask me, the textbook definition of a closeted homosexual projecting as a homophobe is Stanley Kowalski.

Mozart died old, isolated, and largely unappreciated, spending his final days lamenting how the world is simply suffocating under a mountain of mediocrity... Not because he was truly exceptional, but rather because he possessed the sheer audacity to believe he was a genius (and he genuinely did)

If you happen to be one of those eccentric, socially awkward intellectuals—and let’s be honest, Tesla fit that description perfectly—then this is your inevitable fate. You might be better off just biting the bullet now and trying to blend into the social mainstream... However, if you are a true visionary, then none of that social noise, the endless distractions, or the mindless busywork will ever diminish your creative spark (Albert Einstein)

PS: That is, of course, assuming you actually care about being "normal"

This film is nothing more than a run-of-the-mill, mannerist eyesore—pure kitsch, really—and a pathetic attempt to replicate All that jazz👎 which, if we’re being honest, does the exact same thing but without all those tacky digital enhancements

Leah said:Listen, folks, please don't go playing fast and loose with WD-40... that stuff acts as a solvent for just about everything living, including all those vital lubricants in your bike's drivetrain—think derailleurs, hubs, pedals, and so on. Sure, there are specific degreasers designed for this, but honestly, the gold standard is to let your bike air-dry in a heated room for an hour or so, then apply a light coating of high-quality dry lube (you can find the good stuff at any local shop) to the chain. If you've just ridden through a bit of rain, most modern bikes don't even require much maintenance beyond the chain itself. Now, if you’ve gone and ridden straight into the Atlantic Ocean, then we’re looking at a much more complicated headache... 👍

Exactly! And while we're on the subject, do be wary of those "authorized" repair shops, because some of them—take

operate under the bizarre delusion that it's perfectly acceptable for a bike to squeal even when it's spotless. Their logic? Well, since it's clean, it shouldn't squeak, whereas greasy bikes don't make noise. 🙄 It makes me wonder why a pristine, store-bought bike from a big-box retailer doesn't make a sound, yet one that has been "serviced" (which is really just code for being drowned in WD-40) at the aforementioned establishment sounds like it's channeling spirits from the underworld because its soul hasn't quite found peace yet. 👎
