This madlibs title sounds like one of @avivor.com's animal prompts and now I kind of want to see what it would like

The UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. You just have to know where to look. I've decided to make a thread here of some of the best ones I've found on walks.

I never campaigned for anyone but will gladly be knocking on doors for Binface!
If I lived in Clacton, I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Count Binface. I’m sure all the major parties will be rooting for Binface although they can’t admit it. Even if Farage wins, there’s nothing in it for him except humiliation.

“Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”

מעניין: בגוגל פונטס יש כמה טעויות בתרגום זכויות האדם שהם משתמשים בו בשביל הפריוויו. לא ברור מאיפה התרגום לקוח, אבל זה נראה כמו טעויות של OCR מטקסט מודפס.
דוגמאות:
"פגיעה בכבודו או בשמו הפוב"

100% agree with that.
And if that doesn't make sense, raise the speed limit so it starts making sense. What surely doesn't make sense is setting a limit in expectation that most people will drive up to 10 mph above it and some will just ignore it completely. Either have a speed limit or don't.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

פיד, תנו המלצות לסרטים שאנחנו גדלנו עליהם בשנות ה80 וה90 ואפשר להראות לגילאי 10-11.
חשבתי על חזרה לעתיד אבל נראה לי שצריך לחכות עוד איזה שנתיים כי סצינה של בחור מתנפל על בחורה במכונית. נכון?

Reading another book that claims, as if it's obviously true, the Soviet space program was ahead of the US. I spent a lot of time reading in this, and I just see it as zombie propaganda. The only reason the USSR even had an *apparent* edge is because it became fashionable to strap humans to rockets.

One thing that took me years of research on A City on Mars to realize was that you can have genuine geniuses who will relentlessly, and without evidence, say things that are so idiotic that they could improve their apparent intelligence merely by occasionally consulting a child.
