The first time I heard Mike Birbiglia was on this episode of This American Life where he was sharing a story about his sleep walking problem. I was laughing so hard I almost had to pull over because of tears in my eyes. He puts on a great live show too, although if you know all of his TAL stories it would be a bit of a repeat.

Implying they are both quotation marks.

One is to signify a measurement. The other is a quotation mark. If you're going to pretend like you're a stickler for grammar maybe you should learn the difference between two completely different things.

[–]Sojobo1 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Implying they are both quotation marks.

You're implying he consciously wanted to use the double prime instead of a quotation mark?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That doesn't even make sense. Obviously the poster didn't think "All right, double prime time." Whoever posted this comment referred to them both as types of quotation marks, and a double prime is not a quotation mark. While trying to correct the OP he used the wrong terminology.

[–]Sojobo1 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I posted the comment. It was about the inconsistency of using different characters for the same set of quotes.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to usernames.

Yes, but you used incorrect terminology because he did not use two different KINDS of quotation marks, he used a quotation mark as well as a double prime. It's not really worth arguing about because apparently you don't know what I mean or why I cared.

[–]Sojobo1 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

“words” - two different characters

”words” - same character

"words" - same character

“words" - two different characters, the only possible rage-inducing combo

I'm going into this assuming the OP and everyone else understands them as quotation marks. I'm ignoring the fact that it is technically the wrong character.

If I wanted to, I could criticize you for using the prime instead of apostrophes in all your comments ( ’ vs ' ).

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You criticized the OP for a grammatical error, and I in turn criticized you. Don't act like I'm a bad person.

[–]Sojobo1 1 point2 points ago

I didn't address grammar at all. It was the style if anything.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For the last time, one was NOT a quotation mark. That means it is a grammar mistake. Not a style mistake.

See cop while driving: Slam on brakes regardless of current speed

[–]xcydal 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Slam on brakes for no reason = begging to get pretense-stopped.

[–]darkstarohio 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Also, if you're in my state, the cop can estimate that you were speeding because you hit the brakes. Been pulled over for it before. Although maybe that's what you mean by pretense stop. Don't really know the term

[–]xcydal 3 points4 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A pretense/pretext stop is an industry term for a traffic stop where the actual reason for the stop differs from the violation used as probable cause for the stop.

For example, if a cop pulls you over for driving "left of center", but is really just wanting to try and get permission to search your car because he believes he'll find drugs, he's stopping you under the pretense of the left-of-center violation. It's similar to an "exploratory stop", where an officer will use some bullshit circumstantial evidence to see if anything else presents itself during the stop.

[–]Phayded 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You would think that an expert on traffic stops such as you would not make the mistake of thinking an officer needs probable cause to stop you. An officer only needs reasonable suspicion, a considerably lower standard of proof from proable cause.

[–]xcydal 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I should have used RS under the exploratory stop, which is more using circumstantial evidence to explore, but most pretense stops would use PC from a small violation.

[–]rooktakesqueen -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why isn't this a violation of the fourth amendment? That certainly isn't "probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

[–]themightytimmah 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is....hence the pretextual reason for the stop, in order to subvert the 4th Amendment's prohibition against unwarranted searches.

[–]abowlofcereal -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

On the one hand it is a violation, but its his word against yours in court if you'd care to hash it out. Also, practically everyone at the PD from the janitors to the Chief has his back. And you've got yourself and (hopefully) an attorney. Good luck.

thats why you put the handbrake on a little bit to slow down so your brake lights don't flash up.

[–]DenjinJ 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you drive stick, you can just let off the accelerator and engine-brake too. You can hear the drone of the engine fall of course, but I do this to wake up tailgaters.

[–]Darrelc 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry, I'm British and it's just natural to automatically (hah) think Manual.

Do autos not have a handbrake? or is it a piddly electric one?

[–]DenjinJ 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, they have the same as any other car - manual braking on the rear wheels. I'm just saying this is another way you could slow down without signalling. Also, some cars may light the brake lamps when the handbrake is used. I know my car senses it, because when parked, it turns off the daytime running lights when I pull the lever. Mine also bites very abruptly - it's almost nothing until the last click, where it's locked tight.

Though with an auto, if you take your feet off both pedals, you'll coast forward almost as if you had the clutch all the way in... even in Canada where almost everyone has an automatic, I can't get used to that - I learned on motorcycles...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This happened to my brother. He was speeding when he saw a cop and hit the brakes immediately. The cop pulled him over and asked him if he knew how fast he was going. My brother said no, and the cop said, "Well, you sure did slow down fast, son."

Cop didn't get a reading and let him go.

[–]jonnie5 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Chill, homey. Unless you're in a speed trap, cops don't really care how fast you're going... except if you're passing on the right, doing 103 mph, with grandma in her wheelchair holding onto the bumper, and blasting the chase music from the Dukes of Hazzard... then they'll probably pull you over.

Especially if you have a nice car and you're black. Or a beat up car. Or riding a bike. Or walking down the street.

I never liked his standup either... until I listened to "My Secret Public Journal Live". Most of the quotes I'm seeing in this thread are from it, and it's hilarious.

I just realized that quoting Birbiglia makes you look like a novelty account, because his quotes would seem perfect with a novelty account. xD

Being a media blinded pansy.

Being a product of mentally ill/religious/cowardly parents.

Being mentally ill.

Being a egomaniac coward that thinks everyone gives a shit about their comings and goings.

Having been a criminal for enough years to give a predisposition to not trust the police even after the criminal behavior has stopped.

Yes. It's their job to find people breaking laws, including victimless non-violent ones. Sad state of affairs, really.

[–]spastacus 0 points1 point ago

Okay I will.

You on the other hand may want to look into what police state means and what police harassment means. One is an all encompassing aspect of social fabric and one is an individual problem. By using one to describe the other you look like an ill informed nutter. If I lived in a police state I would be right there throwing rocks and molotov cocktails but simply because you get shit on by the police and I can't buy weed comfortably doesn't mean shit in terms of a supposed 'police state'. If you lived in a police state you wouldn't be sitting on your ass bitching in a public forum about being in a police state.

[–]GophaKyorselv 2 points3 points ago

You're lucky enough to have never witnessed firsthand just how easily things can go from a simply cop driving behind you to a full on suppression of your rights, realizing your life may be ruined forever at the behest of an overzealous police officer. You do live in a police state, but there's not much you witness to out there in white-person middle-class suburbia to disrupt the way things are... thanks to the police-state-of-affairs going on there. Good luck redditor! Make sure not to swerve 'cross that double yellow accidentally in front of the wrong guy.

Well there's two possibilities: the blacks are less capable, or less educated (and/or mix of the two). Lets have a black man make the test up so it won't be impartial? Wonder how society's going to react to this if 100 years from now the whites/jews/asians are still scoring higher than the rest. It sucks either way because I don't think one ethic group can never handle being above or below another ethically. Shit always goes down eventually.

[–]HotRodLincoln 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, there's also a third possibility that educated blacks still don't like the police, and don't want to be them...

[–]davidyourduke 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So they fight the man by proving they can fail the tests? What?

[–]HotRodLincoln -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So the educated ones (ie the ones with other choices) take the tests in lower percentages.

[–]davidyourduke 2 points3 points ago

So maybe it's a cultural thing, where the intelligent ones avoid law/civil service, whereas not as many intelligent whites don't? That makes sense, thanks

If our police were actually here to protect and to serve instead of to keep up their quotas, ensure their benefits and pensions, and obey without question, we wouldn't have this problem.

Either that or there's a police car driving next to you and everyone starts going tremendously slow. Drive faster you little shits, the speed limit is 45 not fucking 30, the cop isn't going to pull you over for driving the speed limit.

[–]DenjinJ 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That actually annoys a lot of cops because they have somewhere to be too, and everyone blocks the way. Just don't rip out in front of the pack, and they probably understand full well that a few mph over the limit is just what traffic moves at - they drive out of uniform too...

...but then, there's that chance, so everyone buckles down. I just don't go more than 10kph (typical wiggle room in Canada) over the limit through intersections in front of police.

I let my friend borrow my truck last week so he could get to and from work. He was pulled over at 5:30 am while heading to work. The cop then says "I know you're driving the speed limit, but you looked suspicious." The cop is white and my friend is black.

I was more pissed about this than he was. Fucking a, man. Fucking a.
