1000 users here now
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

For the most part, cops leave me alone. That was not the case in my younger years. It helps that I don't do illegal things as much anymore.
I used to get tickets constantly. I wasn't a wild speeder, just always got caught.
I drive MUCH faster now, more frequently and for longer durations. I also drive a bright green muscle car so I'm not inconspicuous at all. I haven't gotten a ticket in ages. The last time i did get one, I paid a lawyer to make it go away.
So money and a good beard seem to put a stop to most of that. Being able to go 80-90 and not worry too much about it is nice (on clear empty roads, not like a dickbag weaving through traffic).
«Now that I’m older, I can disregard the safety of others on the road without consequence” isn’t the brag you think it is.
See other responses about not giving a shit what others think.
I, too, speed at times. lol
