Where is the correlation? South Carolina? Some in Arizona? Is the point that there’s more UFO sightings in places with low gun ownership? Please explain.

Yeah, the joke is that aliens might be scared of the gun places.

(Reality is just that the % is higher in rural areas, and more people = more sightings)

I’m probably biased, because I’ve only really seen well-made advertisements posted here, but MAN are some of these older ones good.

They were so fun and over the top.

Gaming ads in the 90s didn’t give a fuck.

“Our game will literally kill you. Try it, pussy.”

I bet that second map would look dramatically different if it was sightings per capita.

Also how many are repeat callers.

“Hey Bert, Old Man Jenkins called in another Santa Clause, do you have eyes on a plane around the airport?”

“Sure do, Tina. Small single engine is making it’s approach now.”

“okay thanks. I’ll give you another ring when he calls in for the 243rd time this year…”

Back when I was a teenager in church, some of the local cops would be talking shit about the “crazies” they would arrest, and apparently one guy would call in about UFOs every time the nearest air force base used the training airspace that was overhead. Multiple times a week, and I guess never listened that it wasn’t aliens.

What’s your job?

The laugh is, the Watch Me Die mode (the Ultra Violence of the 64 editions) is probably the easiest “hard” mode on original hardware, purely because the technical limitations prevented lots of enemies (of any tier, not just hitscan wankers) being spawned - and space limitations prevented difficulty spikes caused by Boney Bois (Plutonia-style) or Arch-Bastards ruining your day by not being included in the game at all.

It’s still a very, very good Doom game. 64 and PlayStation Doom should be played together for the alternative Doom experience.

You can sell pictures of your gaping asshole and still be a good person.

It’s just a matter of perspective.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone not super experienced in truck driving to assume the vehicle will be able to drive on most roads. I feel like there’s a lot of “Person blindsided by uncommon hazard gets laughed at” around.

FlyingSquid OP , (edited )
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I am not super experienced in truck driving, but I think the reasonable (and rational) thing if I am driving a big truck, is to not take a chance and go under that if I don’t know how tall the truck is.

MadhuGururajan ,

It’s also not unreasonable to expect responsibility from people who regularly handle vehicles of several tons to know how to drive.

America has this weird aversion to critcizing drivers.

MonkRome ,

Most of these places have numerous warnings to trucks to turn back. Anyone looking at several warnings and continuing on, or worse too distracted to notice, sorta deserves the chiding.

That bridge 11’ 8" that always gets posted, has an over height sensor that stops the light to red, a sign warning you that you are over height, hazard lights, and the height bar is in bright yellow. People still hit it regularly.

norimee ,

That’s why bridges have the hight written on it.

I think it is resonable to expect someone to inform themselves about the hight of the vehicle, especially if they are not experienced in truck driving.

If you are not experienced and do not inform yourself that’s just careless.
