      We should probably frame all of lifes choices as trolley problem models. Speaking of which I’d like to proudly nominate now that our next president be Mr Shia Le Bouf, with carrot top as his VP. The two are obviously better than a third term for trump and couchfucker Vance, and we have to think of harm reduction. Do you want Shia or Trump?

        If 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Shia, 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Trump, and 2 million are trying to divert it to a third track, then I’m helping pull it towards Shia

        trolley problem says there is never any sort of third choice. You have to hit one. Which is why it works so well in political discusisons. Politics becomes not the ‘art of the possible’, but the art of holding your nose and doing what you are effing told.

        So we are hitting the old lady then, right?

          It’s not about “doing what you are effing told,” it’s about taking the action that will most likely lead to the least harm. Like, the resurrected corpse of Karl Marx would obviously make for a better president than either the resurrected corpse of Adolf Hitler or the resurrected corpse of George Washington, but if Zombie Hitler is anticipating 75 million votes, Zombie Washington is anticipating 75 million votes, and Zombie Marx is anticipating 2 million votes, you would be a fool to vote Zombie Marx

            I think you massively discount the harm caused by allowing any zionist to win. What we need to tell our party leadership – at all costs-- is if they push a zionist on us they cant win.

            You get what you demand and you encourage what you tolerate. We cant tolerate genocide support within our own party as some sort of political calculation.

              Again, if 150,000,000 people are voting for a zionist anyway, then voting for the non-zionist doesn’t help anyone. The best you can hope for is the slightly less harmful zionist. The only way you can not allow any zionist to win is if you do something really cool that I’m not allowed to recommend

              You must understand that the average american likes Israel, and so any party that stops supporting israel may gain your vote, but they will lose many more

    I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:

    A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?

    • Honk your horn and yell at them.
    • Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
    • Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
    • Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.

    I was so tempted to pick the last option.

      See, this one understands. Combo multipliers are important to winning new high scores!

      Ooh, an elementary school playground during recess! engages 4WD

        ALSHUALLY, 4WD drifts are less oversteered/less doublelaney than RWD (I actually don’t know if this is true, I’m just repeating what I understood of it from Initial D).

          …but you don’t drift with 4WD (in this scenario), you change to it because of the uneven terrain that comes with an outdoor mixed-environment like a playground, where one can traverse concrete, grass, dirt, mud, sand all in a few seconds. Locking differentials are a plus if the vehicle has them, especially in sand for this situation.

          E: also the skyline is technically awd as I don’t believe you can disengage the 4WD. 4WD implies the ability of 2WD and possibly a low/high range gearbox. It bugs me that the show uses the term 4WD for this.

    My truck is lifted so that I can safely cruise over all the babies in the road. Just gotta keep them between the tires.

    How about driving with at most that speed that would allow you to break to a full stop inside the range you can see. Or within half that range if the street is to narrow for another passing car.

      That’s my favorite thing about these images. The car is so far back even speeding it should be able to stop
