I had a car head towards me doing that ...lucky for me it hit the car right in front of me an landed upside down next to my car. They pulled the old lady out thru the back window and she was frozen as if she was still sitting in the seat gripping the steering wheel.

It was, when happening, like slow motion.

Freaky

story time


I was driving to meet my friends so we could go to the pub and see a local band. it was in calgary and was -30C (-22F) the roads were pure ice. I was driving under a bridge and a mini van decided to pass me going at a much higher rate of speed. They hit the ice and started to spin. everything was super slow motion in my eyes. the van was spinning next to me and I had no where to go so I let off the gas and let the car naturally slow down as hitting the breaks would have made it worse. the van then spun directly in front of me and if I didn't let the gas off we would have collided. We literally were facing each other hood to hood and that's when i felt it slowed down the most in my mind so much we stared eye to eye... it then felt like it went to super fast like a movie and the van just hit the snowbank and flipped into the air and spun a few times and landed on its side, slid and flipped on its roof.

I finally stopped and starting running to the van and it caught fire. I could see the driver wasn't moving and decided to do the thing.... I literally ran up and slid like a baseball player into the van through the broken glass and propped up the guy released his seat belt and pulled him out. the fire had gone out by this time (I think someone used an extinguisher)

I waited for police/ambulance and gave my statement in writing, the cop asked where I was going I told him to see a band. he gave me $5 for a beer and sent me on my way.

my buddy used that story the whole night to get me a date. it was successful that night lol

The doctrine stayed in effect, and was enforced until the Reagan Administration.

Cable news channels are not FCC regulated and thus didn’t and would not have fallen under the fairness doctrine.

At this point I’m convinced Fox themselves are the ones putting out there that Reagan freed them to be what they are because it scores both Reagan and themselves points with the right.

and with the way the last 8 years have gone it has been proven that they can lie bold in your face and the right doesn't care.

I feel like if the fairness doctrine continued to exist, it would have eventually evolved to cover cable TV as well since more than 80% of homes had cable at some point.

But since Ronnie Raygun killed it anyway there was no chance for it to be expanded.

At what point were the Republicans going to agree to add that to it though?

And wouldn’t it work both ways where the GOP wingnuts would’ve gotten time on CNN, MSNBC etc.?

Not defending Twitter or Musk but I’m finding the sudden proliferation in “X and Musk are anti-semitic” news pieces and comments from politicians a little coordinated.

Also, has this worm been on TikTok lately or is a platform owned by foreign corporations in unfriendly nations off limits for criticism despite the fact there’s likely far more pro-Hamas Shit happening on there that’s filtering to college campuses and city in general.
