Out of curiosity, what country are you from? Most of the reports I see about the police being awful seem to come from the US. I’m from Romania, and I once had to call the police because a guy was harassing and following me in public. They arrived quickly, dealt with the guy, comforted me, offered snacks and water, and then explained the process and logistics to me. It was a really positive experience. Are the cops in the US really that bad?

My dad and I text constantly throughout the day when we’re apart, so he’d notice right away if something was off.

I disagree. If there’s a hard minimum, there should be a hard maximum too. By your logic, I could argue that younger people mature at different rates, but no one wants to see 14-year-olds on the road. The same should apply to older drivers. If you’re 80+ (or whatever age is deemed most appropriate), you’re just not sharp anymore. Stay off the road for the safety of everyone involved.

There should be a maximum driving age.

I mentioned Barbie, a fictional character, and you responded as if I had deified Mattel. I clarified what I meant, but you continued with an unprompted anti-capitalism rant and even insinuated that I’m a troll. Very mature and pleasant of you. P.S. As someone whose country already endured 42 years of communist, anti-West/anti-capitalist rule, please spare me the anti-capitalism rant next time. Thanks.

Omg, I’m literally not talking about corporations, though? Barbie is a well-established character. It embodies a concept.

I’m talking about Barbie, the fictional character. Growing up watching and loving the direct-to-video Barbie movies, I’m certain that Barbie absolutely would never.

This is an insult to Barbie. Barbie would never.

10, hands down. I was (and still am) raised by a single dad. He’s great. He’s non-monogamous/non-committal (or just aloof, you could say), so at home I’ve always had all of his attention to myself. I’m a total daddy’s girl.
