Reply to I don’t know if this was asked a lot but it’s hard to get a clear answer since there’s so much gray area… can I, and if so, how dark may my window tint be on a sedan? My apologies if this is a repeating question, I look forward to y’all’s expertise! by FreeGreenCards_
They almost never pull you over for window tint. I was pulled over once for window tint, a small town where they didn’t recognize my car. Supposedly the business owner I knew complained about it and supposedly it won’t happen again.
It’s basically probable cause but most cops claim they don’t pull people over for it at all and were surprised when I claimed I had been. Just don’t try being a dick if you do get pulled over because there’s always that to get cited on

Surplus? Aren't they crying for money and need to raise rates, annually? How is there a surplus? That's not explained in the article.

Reply to Inspection sticker for my car expired. What can I do, especially if I'm out of state? by GummyBear6009
I’m an inspector.
You have 10 days after you return to Pennsylvania to get your vehicle inspected. Be prepared to prove it hasn’t been 10 days yet if you get stopped.

And the turnpike is optional. No one's being forced to take it.

These extemist Christian puritans are so hypocritical and nonsensical with their "wont someone think of the children" shit. They literally dont care about real problems but care immensely about made up nonsensical bullshit

There’s a Grease School Edition, which is what our high school recently put on, which cuts out quite a bit if the innuendo and completely cuts out the pregnancy scare, although there are allusions to it throughout.

Nah, bad idea. If it’s actually a problem with employees paying too much toll, it should be up to the employer to reimburse the employee. Not the state. PA’s roads are filthy in every corner of the state. Why don’t think hire some trash men with the money to clean it up

I'd rather use the money for other infrastructure improvements or school funding or something, not continuing to further subsidize car dependency.

I'd really rather they use the $ to fix the roads, instead of issuing refunds.

Some reframes that are helpful for some.
-
Alcohol is poison. If alcohol is your thing, try a Whoop fitness band or similar tracker. Have peers who visually being able to see this helped them quit and stick with it. Others who got stuck on the idea that 'Alcohol is poison' every time they took a sip, and broke habits that way.

Is that really who you are? Your human operating system is the story you tell yourself that guides your behaviors. You can write your own. If you do not write your own, usually someone else writes one for you. Your operating system can be a useful tool. Or a mental prison. There's no lock on that prison. You may see this applied in AA or NA by a sponsor. After being prompted to share your story they may hit you with that question, "Is that really who you are"? Can nudge someone into considering the question and re-writing their story into something more useful. A narrative running in the back of your mind works. This is what the military is doing with the Navy Seals Creed, useful example of one framework you can author your own.

Systems are better than goals. "I'm not going to drink all week" is a goal. After a week, cool! I did it. Now what? That empty feeling afterwards is the place your goal used to be. Instead something like "I exercise 30 minutes every day" is a system. Every day you wake up with a new goal useful for motivation. This is the lever in your brain to create endless motivation. You can run as a system of subsystems, which through repetition become habits. One of those systems can be continuously roll bad habits into a slightly less bad habit. Over time this 1% better every day compounds into huge behavior changes.
Call me not a fan of waiting for some governance solution. I prefer my storytelling narrative to include nobody is going to do it for me, better to just start putting force behind the things I want for me. While we talk about funding maybe we can brainstorm more ways to take the edge off.

"The Addams Family musical reflects today’s culture, Board member Robbie England said, but he did not view that as a good thing."
Whelp, that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the school district board... what a bunch of clowns.

Assume the services providing that care have become cartel frauds. Learning to convert that service into a bottomless money printer. What happens when the money printer runs out?
My opinion is the money printer is currently broken, the subsidized skimming from the pool in good times has hit an impasse due to dicey economic conditions. The system has a big rock stuck in it. System needs a creative destruction and rebuild.

Creepy and kooky? Sure Mysterious and spooky? Yes, a bit. All together ooky? No doubt. Promote bad values? Not in the slightest.

This is something I am noticing more and more, and not just in NoLeb.

NoLeb in a nutshell. Yet, despite their non-stop efforts to exercise absolute control over students, most students continue to thrive.

Way to fail the students in your district, Mr. Naum. Never change the reputation of NoLeb of being a student unfriendly public school district. There is a clear reason NoLeb grads so often are qualified to do little more than flip burgers or drive dump trucks.

I'm scared to listen to that interview again. Only listened to it once when it aired live, then again with my husband later in the day. Did I sound like an idiot? I can't remember. I can see why some actors and actresses have never seen their own films. I almost puked before I had to go on air due to nerves. But it was such a great story and I wanted people to know about it. For the record, the best response comment I got about the interview was "That was a driveway moment," meaning they were so taken by the story driving home from work that they sat in their driveway to listen to the end. The worst comment I got was "That woman needs mental help." Har.
Yeah, that storm was something, wasn't it? I remember it well too because I think our work shut down for 4 days, which never happens.
