Yeah,.even ignoring the joke comments that are funny, alot of people are saying I should fight. I doubt that would be a good idea. It was an honest mistake and I've got a clean record. I think being honest is my best bet.

I thought of that. I saw the viral video with that dude driving during his video court.

I was going to walk. It's a small town and I walk a lot as a hobby anyway.

Since I realized my license was expired I've been walking to work and to the store. Again it's a very small town and I can walk just about everywhere.

However if they are going to ask I might want some proof...no can't afford an Uber right now but maybe I could take some pictures of my walk? Or take the bus just to have a bus ticket?

Do I need a public defender? I didn't intentionally do anything wrong I just didn't know my license was expired? I've got a clean record it was just a mistake.

Yeah, that's one thing I'm worried about. Powers out because of the hurricane. I've got black jeans and a polo shirt clean.

There's no way I can deal with the fime immediately. That's kind of information is exactly what I was asking about...

I live paycheck to paycheck. I don't get paid again until next week.

They really expect people to pay the unknown fine immediately?

Glad I asked I had no idea. Do I need to make the hand motions when I get to "skeet skeet godamn"

I'm housing insecure. I've always worked hard but it's never been "my place" it's always a roommate or girlfriend and I move around A LOT. Plus one of the symptoms of my ADHD is "time blindness" it's hard for me to judge how much time has passed between two events. That's why I didn't think about my license might be expired. 1 year, 7 years, 12 years... It all feels the same to me.

I have the first priesthood. they never say cocaine is a sin only that it's unwise. I never claimed to be wise.

Actually I'm not young. Im 35 but I drive like an old man so never even get tickets much less had to go to court for anything.

I'm assuming my chance of going to jail over this is low but I'm still worried about it. Ive never been to jail and that would cause me to miss work and I need my job.

I don't know if criminal court would be a better option because I can't think of something lesser than letting my license expire accidentally.

Precisely. He considered the doctor to be his father. He likely would have called himself Frankenstein as well.

With this new solid advice, I had an idea and wanted to check with you.

When they call my name should I ignore it, as to not seem too desperate.

When they call my name again should I say "daaaaamn I heard you the first time! My license is expired not my hearing. Chill you're shit nigga" (to clarify I'm unambiguously white)

I haven't renewed my license yet. In my state I have to take the written test again so two appointments at the DMV

Im also in retail management so between COVID call outs, holiday roll outs, and a hurricane... I haven't had a day off in months.

I'll try that one too. Thank you.

Ive been out of the loop with AI stuff, I never thought much about them until I saw the AI girlfriend ads on you tube. Then I started thinking that might be perfect for thinking out loud and figuring stuff out.

It very quickly became clear the girlfriend aps are programmed exclusively (and lazily ) for lonely horny people. I probably should have expected that from the ads but I figured if it's AI it could learn commands like "stop trying to change the subject to boobs"... Nope...

How does that work In this situation tho? My license is expired and I was driving. How could I say not guilty? Wouldn't that just piss the judge off?

Pointing out I can disagree with someone's ideas and still recognize when they are being very reasonable.

capitalists that are less so.

Ah the ol' "you're stupid" rebuttal. Works every time. Automatic win in every debate lol

It's Florida. Titusville.

And the courthouse was closed when I went there today because of the hurricane. Guess they don't have power yet.

The clerks office is closed too, and the website hasn't been updated and still says my court date is today.

I even tried calling the non-emergancy police number and they don't know. They told me to call the clerk on Monday. Which will be fine unless my court date is rescheduled for Monday at 9am when they open.

I'm a capitalist. The person you are responding to sounded very reasonable.

"the US doesn't like"

That's very true. The us does not like north Korea. That isn't saying north Korea is good. It's just saying there are motives at play to make north Korea look as bad as possible.

If I said Jeffrey Epstein was a cannibal, you can say "no he wasn't" without thinking he was a good person.

Don't forget they did that several times!

That's something to consider. I just don't want to seem like I'm being difficult to the judge.

I guess I should also add for clarity that I'm aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.

That's also not really what I'm looking for either. I don't need "how can I brew my own mead"

I'm looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we've had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.

I'm not looking to pretend it's real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.

Edit: again to clarify. I mentioned my low bar expectation of "wow, that wild". My high bar, what I really a looking for is an AI that gives responses like "that sounds similar to the problem you mentioned last week, how did you handle that?"

So I can be like "yeah it is kinda similar, I didn't think about that"

That would be the high bar. I'd pay maybe $5 for that experience.

Final clarifying edit: after reading my own post I'm thinking to myself, if this was posted by someone else I'd answer with something like:

"Sounds like you're describing a therapist. AI therapists have a lot of issues but real human ones are getting cheaper with online appointments"

And that would be a very fair answer. Although I might benefit from a therapist, we all would. I'm talking more about mundane daily thoughts and talking to a therapist daily even online would be expensive.

As long as you don't ask any questions... I got you. Meet me beside the dumpster at wendys. I prefer to be paid directly in drugs but cash app is fine to.

Is that you Stephen? I don't think it's going to impact your sales. You could take a shit on the side walk and it would make it to the top 20, and get it's own movie.

I can tell you for a fact if men had boobs our bras would have pockets.

Edit: oh God... I just realized... If men had boobs "dapper Daniel" would use a French cuff bra instead of normal hook kind. It would be secured with a solid gold and pearl bra-cufflink that no one would even notice except he brings it up constantly and scoffs that I'm not taking enough pride in my appearance because I use the hook kind.

God damnit Daniel, no one cares but you. I've never had a date walk away because of my clasp. They walk away from you all the time because when you say "the square alabaster shows loyalty, the round topaz shows I'm driven" all they hear is that you need to control every micro aspect of life and they won't be allowed to where heals anymore because they might be a 1/17th of an inch taller than you. So keep your opinions to yourself you greasy haired little weasel.

I will check that one out when I have a moment. I bookmarked it. Thank you.

Should we supply weapons to foreign nations?

"Don't"

Okay. Problem solved.

It's one of many easy things we could've done but didn't do. If you want a complete answer you can Google it. I said I don't have the time to list it all here but the information is easily available.

I know! I told the Team lead id be in at 2. That's when I was scheduled and that's when I'm coming in. It's not my fault Becky got septic gonorrhea again. I'm going to sell my drones, and then I'll be there at my SCHEDULED time. Don't give me any of that "team player" bullshit either. All that "team playin" you managers have been doing is why everyone keeps getting septic gonorrhoea. So maybe focus more on your z-pack and get off of my back. How bout that.

If you need a drone tho I got you 10 a piece. Price break at 20. Brand new. Predator anti-personal. Can't resell them to Ukraine tho. I'm not pro Russia I just got beef with Zelensky. Owe him some money, don't want him to know I'm out here hustlin. Hit me up.

Edit: if you do want a drone maybe rub some of those z-pack anti bios on the bills tho. Don't need any of the Becky shit. I just got back with my baby momma you know and all she asked is "no more girls, no more drones, no more polyhedron with a surface areas greater than 30^2 centimeters on the larger faces " so we got keep this real down low, you feel me. You know how hard it was to get my kid back bro, so I got to keep this super light, no joke.

It was closed lol rescheduled for the 31st. I think I'm going to go dressed up as a judge.

Lol yeah I know a few people like that. I'm asexual so I almost never want to discuss boobs. Unless maybe conversations about the concept or idea of boobs. For example:

If men also grew full on boobs instead of just nipples.... Would women be attracted to them? Would look for men with larger boobs? Would they want to motor boat them?

I know what your first thought is... "Well if you've had any lesbian friends"

I have, but that doesn't give a meaningful answer. Lesbians like women, boobs are on the physical characteristics of a woman that are different than men's bodies. What lesbians do or do not find attractive is irrelevant for this hypothetical.

If both men and women had boobs, how would that affect how sexy the boobs would be? How would that affect society? Would women walking around shirtless be more normal? Would breast cancer ribbons still be pink?

These are the questions I don't want to bother my friends and family with at 2 am lol.

I mean... That is a theory. I don't like it but it's still better than war. Arguably the cold war and proxy wars prevented a major war...

I dont think of it as a perfect win obviously because of the proxy wars like Vietnam and Korea. Those wars specifically gave me a bucket full of nice medals but cost me every single one of my uncles. There were other proxy wars though.

Anyway my point is 2 fold.

1. Arguably that strategy prevented a much bloodier war between Russia and the US but there were still better ways to handle that without any war.

And 2) if you ignore the proxy wars the "cold war" approach is one way to avoid war, I guess. The government equivalent of the obnoxious drunk guy flexing his muscles and saying "you don't want none of this bro"... It's better than a war but not my favorite strategy. Although I might not like that approach it did prevent a war, it was better than a war.... So... Good job?

Again the proxy wars ruin that but they were unnecessary and didn't change much for the US or Russia. Obviously they did a lot of damage to the countries we fought in. My point is the cold war approach didn't need that to prevent the war. It actually pushed us closer.

I'm just saying the "I've got a bigger gun" diplomacy... Well it's definitely a strategy that is better than war...

Yet you asked the question anyway just so you could say "there it is" and pat yourself on the back like you uncovered something.

It's like if I said "I don't believe I'm the death penalty"

And you responded "what about for really bad people"

"Yes even for really bad people"

"There it is!"

It's nonsense.

No one single thing could have fixed the complex situation. If you want the complex answer, Google it. Better people than me have explained it. I don't have the time or energy.

Yes someone explain my poor phrasing. They even mentioned the word I mentioned but I forget.

I'm not the capitalist version of a tanky.

I believe the concept of capitalism could work, and I believe it would work better than socialism. Another common ground I have with socialist is that I understand the examples of my preferred... Arrangement of society have been corrupted and not run under the ideas they claim.

That's what I mean by common ground and that's where I sympathize. I wouldn't want someone pointing at trump and saying "that's capitalism!" And I would never point at Kim jun un and say "that's socialism"

I also understand the "ideal, pure, perfect implementation" of either idea probably isn't possible.

I lean more to capitalism.

That's what I meant when I said "I'm a capitalist" I misspoke.

Fair enough. Other people asked but you absolutely did not. You are correct. I'll take that L

Funny side note I think the problem with both systems is lazy people not doing what they should.

I won't go over the example for how lazy people could effect socialism because I'm sure you've heard it a million times before.

I skip straight to capitalism.

People don't vote with their dollar like they should. Everyone hates Walmart, they still shop at Walmart. Everyone hates child slavery, they still buy chocolate. Women want real pockets in their clothing, they still buy clothing that does not have pockets.

I'm lazy too in that way. I don't shop at Walmart, and I don't really like chocolate.... But I hate how shitty airlines are... When I fly tho, I buy the cheapest ticket on the cheapest airline. Every single time.

That's the problem with capitalism. I'm lazy, we're all lazy.

I do mean that sincerely. I gather you disagree with me and that's absolutely fine. There's definitely a lot of solid arguments out there against it. I understand.

You at least respected I don't have the time or energy right now to get into a long complicated discussion. I just wanted to say what I told soldiers instead of "thanks for your service"

I shouldn't have lumped you in with the others, and for that i do sincerely apologize.

Edit: and I'm not as much of an asshat as I sound in my comments to others. I'm just tired and too busy to go into all the complexity involved in avoiding a world war. Obviously that would take hours to even get to "I respectfully disagree".

Losing what?

I'm new to this platform and can't tell if I already replied to this or not.

I totally understand and agree with your point. In case I already replied to this I'll just give my short answer.

If I could snap my finger and magically make a perfect capitalist system (or socialist for that matter) no corruption or greed. Starting absolutely fresh and right with the perfect principles in place for the system... And also all of us people started fresh, well rested, well fed, thinking clearly...

I think people would still buy the cheapest chocolate and ignore the slaves, they'd still shop at Walmart, and I'd still book the cheap airline ticket and complain I have no leg room, and a handful of super rich elites would quickly regain literally all the power.

You absolutely nailed it on the head with everything thing you said, that's exactly why I don't call out system true capitalism. I also agree the lives we are forced to live prevent us from having time to sort this stuff out.

I just don't think we'd be less lazy (myself included) even if we did have the time and energy. I feel the same problem in both systems.

1)good idea

2. revaluation

3. get lazy

4. back to essentially where we started.

There what is?

"War is unnecessary. Don't message me about war you like. Just look it up yourself"

"What about this war"

"Unnecessary"
