Except it does. Except for here in the US. You've been gaslit into thinking the way things are done here is the only possible way. And plenty of states where pot is still illegal do in fact prosecute it, for better or ill. North Carolina has some of the worst pedestrian fatality rates in the...

Actually you're sort of wrong with the cars thing as well. Look at the size and shape of most vehicles today vs 20 years ago. Even pickups 20 years ago had relatively low hoods, and they sloped backwards. Now, as an adult male, even the most bare bones F150 is about at shoulder height for me at...

Except the states where this is the biggest problems don't have legal pot, so there's that out the window. Amsterdam also has legal pot, and they don't have pedestrian deaths at anywhere close to the same rate.

Let me quote your original post. First of all, you're immediately flippantly dismissing the seriousness of the problem by using a perjorative. And immediately also implying that it must be at least partially the pedestrians fault. If being tired of people dying in crosswalks by following the...

You're the one who brought up a totally irrelevant topic, jaywalking, and I'm the one who can't have a rational discussion? Discussing people's inability to follow laws when it comes to crossing the street is political? That doesn't make any sense at all. Is saying that speeding is bad also...

I can tell you didn't watch the video because you're talking about jaywalking, which isn't what is being discussed here at all. This entire video is about drivers ignoring pedestrians in crosswalks. You seem to want to make it the pedestrians fault to avoid drivers having to take responsibility...

Cell phone use is a problem but you seem to be implying that it's the primary cause, not a tertiary one which it is

You're right that pedestrians also need to exercise due care, but so do drivers. And yet, how often do you think people actually stop for pedestrians? In fact later in the video he brings up a specific study by a state that shows that drivers failed to yield to pedestrians 60%+: of the time in...

What does it take to get people to admit there's a systemic problem that isn't being addressed? Instead it goes straight to victim blaming.

So out of all the possibilities you pick the extreme one? Not the dozens every day of normal people crossing normal streets and drivers not paying attention or deciding they don't need to follow the law because they're driving a car and thus more important? You can justify almost anything when...

You can look the statistics on this for yourself just about anywhere, including at least two government agencies. What, you think "big pedestrian" has an agenda? I mean if you consider not being splatted by drivers not paying attention, then yeah I guess you could call it an agenda.

Except it's literally the law in almost all states to yield to pedestrians. And guess who is gonna lose in the fight between a car and a human? Bingo. Who do you think is the one who bears a bit more responsibility, "buttercup"?

Hopefully this doesn't devolve like it usually does. Frankly, I think it comes down the selfish attitude of many drivers, extremely poor driver training, and extremely poor road design.

The hand wringing about plastic oil pans has been going on for years, and the only time I've ever heard of it being an issue is if you like to off road. They are built pretty strong, there isn't much chance of them just cracking or breaking in normal use.

I've often thought about picking up one of these. They seem like tanks, even with 2-300k miles they are still going strong as long as the timing belt gets changed on time. I'll probably stick with an alltrack though, for fuel efficiency purposes.

Yeah but his is a 2018 which was why I was interested to see what the deal was.

This is kind of late, but the comment on it about timing chain tensioner sent me down the rabbit hole, because I've been looking to get one of these or an alltrack once the lease on the Taos is up, and I was curious because I hadn't heard of timing issues on the gen3 EA888... I can't believe...

Convenience stores in the form of gas stations aren't any better. They are even worse in fact because they are essentially 100% junk food and alcohol. I guess if the only thing you care about buying is chips and beer they are convenient.

This thread is proving an excellent example of why DG has made such an impression. The number of people who "won't waste time on a BS video" because they "already know better" and refuse to even consider alternate viewpoints or that there could be a better way (even just a local owned...

Thank you for proving part of the point. They sell junk food, pretty much exclusively. It's convenient. Is it any wonder people in rural areas are unhealthier than people in cities, besides lack of exercise? They have little access to quality, healthy groceries. Yeah, they can subsist on beer...
