Haha same despite not being active at all for months now. In any case, the email explains only residents of the USA are eligible.

Hard to call them stupid when they got to use it for free within the return window. Seems like a good deal. I agree with all the other points though.

Just ordered one. I had no real interest, but once you tell me I can’t have one…I must have one.

Yeah I think I’ll stick to piracy thanks.

I loved Sync for Reddit as an app. But I already was seeing Reddit go downhill even before they killed the apps, that just sealed the deal for me. I was a digg refugee so sadly I’ve been through this before already.

You can also torrent all movies. That way if you want to watch it again later on you don’t need to download the whole thing again like you would with streaming. Streaming is really just downloading without saving.

Well yeah, I’m probably not the only daily active user who stopped visiting all together… after 10+ years of daily active use. They brought this on themselves.

You say ‘what would happen if they didn’t chase cars?’ as if it’s hypothetical, but many places already do this.

So, what happens? They will turn on lights and sirens speed up a bit and make it clear the car should pull over. If it doesn’t, they continue to follow it with lights and sirens. If the bad guy starts driving in a manner dangerous to the public specifically in an attempt to flee, they back off. And then radio the vehicle description to a unit further ahead. Sometimes the unit ahead is unmarked, finds it, and is able to follow at safe speed. Later try to arrest occupants when they get out or can be pinned with confidence. There are also other tools available like traffic cameras and aircraft.

Yes, this sometimes causes people to get away. But it also sometimes saves lives of random bystanders…so some places decide it as a worthwhile trade off. And no these countries aren’t wastelands with Mad Max roads of death.

You are right about some situations being more dangerous not to pursue. Which is why if someone is intentionally running over people, or shooting at everyone, or some other very intense situation… the police don’t back off. But for a speeding ticket, for sure backing off.
