  • If your commute is 30 minutes, you’d need to drive twice as fast to do it in 15 minutes. So, in the 35MPH zone, you need to do 70, and in the 50MPH zone, you need to do 100–consistently. Which is clearly impossible. If you follow this logic through to a realistic conclusion, you end up at saving at most two or so minutes by speeding as much as you can. Congratulations, you got home two minutes earlier, what will you do with all that free time?

    Also, the idea that you’ve “saved time” is a bit silly. It’s not like you can bank that time. You’re not going to start work two minutes earlier every day, and end up with ten minutes of “free time” at the end of the work week. You get to work two minutes earlier, or maybe two minutes less late, and you get home two minutes earlier, but that’s the extent of the “savings”. So what?

    Do yourself and everyone else a favor, leave for work two minutes earlier and have a nice, easy commute. Stop being a dick, it’s not your road, it’s not your right, and it doesn’t help you at all. Learn to control yourself, grow up, gain some emotional maturity, stop speeding around, you look like an idiot.
















  • Pretty Baby, the movie made in 1978, could not be made today. If all of those people could be transported forward in time, including 11-year-old Brooke Shields, they would not be allowed to make that movie and distribute it. Yes, could be made now with an 18-year-old actress, as it could have been then, but that’s not what was made, so that movie could not be made now, as it was made then. That’s the whole point of the question. So that exact movie couldn’t be made now.


  • It’s okay with me if people are wrong. I disagree with everyone on at least one thing, I find, if I talk to them for more than a few minutes.

    You could try this–offer your correction, and then never look at the thread again. Disengage. You’ve done all you can do, let it go. Eventually, you WILL get to that point, so get there quickly and on your terms.

    It’s okay if people are wrong, and a lot of people are.

    If you really can’t control yourself, then you might benefit from therapy.
