In Georgia this is actually illegal. Even if you are doing the speed limit in the left lane, if you are impeding the flow of traffic, you can get a ticket.

That’s my favorite part. Like they’re in a Perry Mason mystery and they’ve just cracked the case. You know they think they’re going to drop the mike and everyone will cheer.
Yeahhhhhhh, that’s not going to go how they think it’s going to go.
And I would retort, “Nuh uh.”

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•‘Scan your face’ laws for the web are having unexpected consequencesEnglish821·14 days agoYou don’t have to go back that far, just look at digital music. People were trading files on Napster, and the music industry was having a fit. Steve Jobs opened the iTunes Music Store and started selling all files for .99, people started gobbling them up, and piracy went down. Then along came Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc., and most people are happy to pay. Why, because it’s so much easier and convenient than trying to pirate it and get it on your phone/player.
Don’t get me wrong, people still pirate, but the percentage is low compared to what it was before these easy legal options. People will always take the easiest route, legal or illegal.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?English15·1 month agoThat was probably me on Reddit. I’ve probably posted it there on a similar post.
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Shamelessly stolen from RedditEnglish1011·1 month agoY’know, I understand where you’re coming from, but my dad did his time in the military, including a stint in Vietnam. He’s 81 now, and I don’t see the harm in giving him a little bit off of a bill for his service. He’s not obnoxious about it, but will sometimes ask, and take it if it’s available. If not, no big deal.
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Shamelessly stolen from RedditEnglish51·1 month agoMy dad is a veteran, and he will sometimes ask, and sometimes they will ask him. Almost always, especially in restaurants, he just says that he is, and they give him the discount.
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?English30·1 month agoMy wife & I were going into a restaurant one afternoon, and there was a man in a wheelchair with no legs below the knee sitting next door at the exit to Walmart. His sign said that he was a homeless vet. As we started in, I told my wife to hold on, and I ran over and gave him $20. When I got back, my wife said, “Did you just give that guy 20 bucks?” I said, “Yep, why?” She said, “You know he’s just going to spend it on alcohol.” I said, “I hope so, the guy ain’t got no legs, let him have a good drink!”
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?English111·1 month agoWhere I live, there isn’t much walking, but the homeless stand at intersections and hold signs and look at you while you wait on the light to change.
My wife, who is a much better person than I, will keep $5 McDonald’s gift cards in her vehicle and sometimes hand those out. She says that there is a McDonald’s within walking distance of almost anywhere in town, and that $5 is enough to get a couple of things off the value menu and a free cup of water. If they’re really homeless and hungry, at least they will have something to eat.

I have a simple rule – I see Norm, I upvote Norm.
He is missed.
Yes, they were killed to death.
