So do I, but I could have a tail light out, maybe I’ve still got something hanging from my rearview, maybe a passenger isn’t wearing their seatbelt.

As others in the comments mentioned, police can usually find a number of reasons to make a stop. There’s really no reason to answer anything other than no to that question.

How about:

Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

Do people usually give an answer to “Do you know why I pulled you over?” other than no?

Unless you have the ability to read minds how would you know why you were pulled over?

I guess if you wanted to be nice/polite you could say “No, officer.”

Hotels/motels still exist.

I’m not going to get into the discussion about whether renting should or should not exist but I can get behind the idea that renting for profit shouldn’t be a thing.

I don’t know about you but when I was a teen in the times you mentioned we went out to those places as a group, not alone. If a stranger approached one of us and tried to get us alone it would have been weird.

Social media can certainly make it easier to isolate an individual while also giving them a sense of safety. A teen today can be sitting in the safety of their bedroom all by themself and be groomed by someone through social media.

Like with most things technology has made this easier than before and in this case that’s not a good thing.

People should not own more than one living place and that place should be the place that they live in.

This isn’t realistic. Maybe not owning additional homes for the sole purpose of renting to make a profit would be a better statement to make.

She is listed as a writer for pretty much all her songs

I don’t know anything about anything in this Taylor Swift conversation but Elvis was listed as a writer on all of his songs but wrote none of them. It was a requirement of his management that if he performed it, he got a writing credit.

What point? I’m honestly trying to find out if it’s only considered swatting if an actual SWAT team is deployed or if that’s become the generic term.

There’s a term for this, called genericide. Like how Kleenex is used for all facial tissues or Qtips is used for all cotton swabs.

If all you want to do is find reasons to get offended and be combatant take your bullshit somewhere else.

I’m so sick of people like you on Lenny eroding actual conversation so you can mud sling and interpret everything in the worst possible light.

Sometimes a question is just a fucking question jackass!

Blocked for being the waste of space you are.

I thought shocked and surprised were synonyms.

Interesting read about this..

The native cultural influence is pretty strongly interwoven in the fabric of Minnesota. It’s very possible the thought process was just that the locals associated that image with their state, just like the brand name.

The Anishinaabe and Dakota have had major influence on the state and that’s been recognized more in recent history with the renaming of certain places back to their native name, like Bde Maka Ska.

Most of the naming in the metro(and the state name) comes from the Dakota peoples. The Anishinaabe were located more in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin so you’ll see the influence there. For example the town of Biwabik in the iron range which is the Anishinaabe word for iron.

Good to know, glad you take advantage! Amazon is one of several companies I avoid on ethical grounds but I fault nobody else for shopping there.
