  • Low tire pressure is not a safety issue, more of a efficiency issue, until it is so low that you’d need to be paying ZERO attention to the car’s handling to not notice. Lower pressure actually increases performance (to a point, and depending on the tire) because it can allow more rubber to contact the road. It is pretty typical to air down to around 20 psi for performance driving even if it’s closer to 35 for daily driving.

    It’s very easy to notice if one tire loses pressure because you’ll have a very strong pull to one side, almost like a bad alignment. I got my tires rotated at a shop and they deflated the tires for some reason and forgot to refill one of them. On my way home I was freaking out that they fucked my alignment because it was handling so weird on the suburban roads home (not even twisty performance driving). My TPMS didn’t even go off until I was basically home already. When I checked the tire it was maybe 15 or 20. Certainly not dangerous but also certainly noticeable.

    The yellow line in the meme is selecting quite a bit of area that isn’t SeaWorld parking, and it’s quite old too. On right it’s selecting some park area and the lot for a boat launch. On the left there is admin buildings and a Marina + parking for that. Check the satellite view.
















  • Yes, they aren’t changing course, but Discord certainly did not say “most” in the announcement and it was a single sentence in a long article about age verification and content gating. They should have been far more upfront about their inference method being the primary one in the first place. This was a communication issue and not a reader issue.

    It’s also possible they decided to tune their inference model to be a lot more, let’s say, permissive so that there isn’t a huge backlash of people getting asked to provide ID when they’ve been using the service for nearly a decade or longer.



  • The problem isn’t that you aren’t allowed to. The problem is that they made literally zero accommodations for pedestrians to navigate the area.

    A protest that walks the route that should exist anyway and shuts down the roads is a good idea. But it can still be illegal. People are arrested all the time for doing illegal shit while protesting. They don’t use an “all or nothing” system from prosecution. They’ll arrest and charge dozens of people in a protest with hundreds or thousands.
