You absolutely need to hit the brakes, but don't swerve. A deer weighs over 200lbs and will likely crash into your windshield if you hit it head on. You need to safely loose as much speed as you can because even a side hit on the deer is likely to wreck your axel and prevent you from driving.

Absolutely not true. No amount of speed is going to keep you safe if you strike an animal on a bike. You're better off slowing down so that you have less momentum when you wreck. Drivers should be giving you enough space (even though they rarely do). A deer weighs more than a grown man and will kill you if you hit it at highway speed. A dog will take out your front wheel and cause you to wreck whether you hit it at 15mph or 80mph.

Typically people take the cash value on prizes like that. Because not inly do you have to figure out what to do with what you won, you also have to pay taxes on the value of it.

Yeah, just like how my dad was sincere when he told me "I hope you dont get AIDS" while kicking me out the house after i came out

PA, MI, and WI are all but guaranteed to go together. Any scenarios where they vote for different candidates are mostly just fantasy

Not really since Korean politics has made the entire Seoul area a de facto hostage for peace. Estimates place the death toll for Seoul alone at about 100,000 in the first 48 if hostilities between the North and South broke out due to the volume of artillery currently pointed at the city.

Honestly, neoliberal states might have failed by now if the Soviet Union hadn't collapsed. Capitalism has just aboit finished eating itself as evidenced by no one being able to afford housing or groceries anymore, no real work being done that isn't just feeding Wall Street quarterly goals, and just about everything being turned into a subscription service.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

Syntax is for nerds. I prefer a vibes based language.

Big time

People are also more isolated and dating has never been more difficult for average people. Intimacy has been destroyed in our modern world

Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas

Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.

And I'm ot running a brothel in my hourly motel outside of town. People rent the room for 2 hours, and it's none of my business what happens between them and the housekeeper

Carnegie was big on that. He would pour millions into public works projects like libraries, schools, and performance halls. At the same time he would send auditors to figure out the average cost of living around his steel mills and intentionally pay employees about 80% of that just to keep them dependent on him.

All corporations are evil. All billionaires are bastards.

I rememeber people talking about 2 Girls 1 cup im the gym locker in middle school. 3 guys one hammer was a straight up sniff film that made the rounds of all the forums back in 2009. It reached a point where Lemon Party was mild enough to be referenced on a TV show.

Metric would be perfect if 10 wasn't such a dog shit number to base our counting off of. Sure it works for dividing things in half, but how often do you need to break something down into fifths? Halves, thirds, and quarters are 90% of typical division people do, with tenths being most of the rest since 10 is that only number that our base system actually works with.

It takes a twist that you wont see coming at all. It's definitely worth a watch.

I guess that's why my American ass grew up with Beatrix Potter. My English grandparents had a caravan in the lake district

It takes a slinky to beat a slinky
