  • It’s usually less that that too. Typically if you show you have got your license within the time of getting the ticket they let you go. If he just showed up and said he has an appointment or was going to make one, the judge would’ve made another date so that he could prove he got his license. Then no fine or jail.

    Happened to me. I was pulled over without a license. Immediately went and got my license. They made a date but the mailing address they sent to I wasn’t there. Being dumb I thought meant it was handled.

    Lo and behold like 10 years later, when I’m getting hired for my current job they say I have a bench warrant. I went down to the courthouse the next day, the judge gave me a real weird look since it’s been like 10 years, and said " do you have your license " I showed it to him, and then let me go.



  • Dude you hit the nail on the head right there. I’ve been thinking of installing Reddit back because some of the content I enjoyed there is just not here.

    Ive tried to recreate the subs I had on Reddit to here, but it’s empty. So I just browse All and block anything that has to do with politics, but it’s impossible because everything is just lefty politics in some way. Like I’m a liberal person, but I feel like I’m considered right leaning from some of the shit people say on here.

    And if I don’t have NSFW off it’s just trans everywhere.

    Like do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be, but I don’t wanna see THAT lol

    6 years old all the way. Ok yeah sure, investments, Bitcoin, be rich. However, I’d love to relive parts of my past that I would want repaired that money couldn’t exactly fix.

    I’d be a better older brother to my younger brother. Hang out with him, take him to his football games, take him to movies, play video games with him. Instead of being the douchebag party guy that ignored him. We have a good relationship now, but I wish I could’ve given him better memories when he was a kid of his older brother and guided him more/better.

    I’d help my Mom with her addiction that took ahold of her because she couldn’t cope with what happened in her childhood. Maybe she’d still be around today, instead of me being so self absorbed in my own stupid shit.

    Avoid the bad relationships I was in, and have the knowledge to recognize when a relationship will go badly. Including the parts of myself that help make the relationship bad.

    Maybe the money would help with some of these things, but I really think my attention and presence would be more impactful.


  • Dude, ok. The responses you received imo are somewhat disingenuous, and bandwagonish.

    Is it the answer to Skyrim or Fallout? God no.

    It is fun? Yes. It’s Skyrim/Fallout in space. Don’t expect much more than that.

    You want an ultra realistic space fairing game? Play Elite Dangerous.

    You’ll have have at least 40-60 hours of fun. I’m not trying to be a shill here. There are a decent amount of things you can extract from Starfield for why you won’t like it. However, it’s still something worthy of experiencing.

    Especially if you steal it.

    Yes, yes they are. Which is why you pay for their services.

    If a you pay a mechanic to fix your car, and it breaks down on the way home, you take that shit back and tell them to fix it.

    If you pick up your car and the mechanic complains of an overdraft fee from the bank, because everything hinged on you picking up your car at noon instead of 3pm, that isn’t your problem.



  • And it was never designed to be. It was always meant to be a republic.

    We first were a confederation. Were your idea of a true democracy was more or less in place. The revolutionary war was won in 1783. The constitution wasn’t ratified till 1789, and the bill of rights written until 1793. Before that the US had almost no central government, and each state was independent from one another. Had their own currency, banking system, laws, and military.

    States still have a lot of that same autonomy today, but there was no central government tying them together. If the US went to war and a state didn’t want to go, they wouldn’t. A little more complex than that, but generally that’s what it amounted to.

    Having this type of system created a bunch of problems and came to a head when Shay’s Rebellion happened. I won’t go into depth about it, but mainly confederated Massachusetts couldn’t fight off the rebels attempting to take over the state. Since the US was a confederation there was no central government the state couldnt call on for help, and all the other states more or less said ‘meh sucks for you’.

    This incident lead to the Constitutional Convention that wrote the document we still uphold today, and bringing in more of a centralized Federal Republic, and not a decentralized confederated one.

    My ranty point is, we tried the whole true democracy thing and it failed. So we went to a Federal Republic, still very much democratic, but moved away from a true democracy.
