That one clip was funnier than anything in Rush Hour 3.

I thought Supermotard was a dick on a bike who weaves in and out of rush hour traffic at 150mph.

Los Angeles, CA

Today on the 405 Southbound at Wilshire Blvd, a driver in a pink Power Wheels Jeep fell asleep at the wheel, reversing suddenly into busy rush hour traffic, causing an 11 car pile up. 6 People were killed and 12 more injured. Police are investigating whether the driver was intoxicated at the time of the incident. Traffic was backed up and slow from the 101 for 3 hours.

"Knowing the top speed of a car doesn't tell you how fast you can drive in rush hour. To actually see the difference in page loads between all three browsers, you need slow-motion video. This one’s also a tie."

Holy crap that's about the worst piece of advertisement I've ever seen. They're basically admitting they're slower, but hoping you wont notice?

Apparently Westwood Village Theater, since the Bruin theater is right across the street. Google win! Damn, I should have gone over there!

Perhaps she's late because she had to deal with the God damned 405 on/off-ramp traffic on Wilshire at rush hour! 45 Damn minutes sometimes just to get from the Santa Monica side to the Westwood side, and Sprinkles is closing, damnit! But I digress.

^Taxation, one could argue, so I'm willing to concede it. Others, like probhibiting marijuana possession or gay marriage are clearly tyrannical. Using my criteria, it is easy to see why (neither have victims).

What criteria do you use to determine which policies are tyrannical and which aren't?

Speeding, running a red light, driving on the wrong side of a road, and driving drunk can all potentially involve victims, so I can see why people are tempted to make them illegal. But can you identify a victim in all instances of the above actions? Take for instance, someone doing any of the above on a stretch of road through Nebraska, where there are no cars or people for 50 miles. There are no possible victims, so how can those laws be anything other than tyrannical?

Now, speed, run a red light, drive on the wrong side of the road, or drive drunk in the middle of rush hour in a congested city, and you might be able to identify a victim. If you could, the crime would be reckless endangerment, or worse. Reckless endangerment is like murder or theft, it always has a victim no matter what the circumstance. You can't say that about any of the four actions you mentioned above.

So, why make speeding, running a red light, driving on the wrong side of the road, or driving drunk illegal when all you really need to prohibit is reckless endangerment? If you prohibit the former four, you open up the potential for tyranny. If instead, you prohibit reckless endangerment, which always has a victim, then you have solved a safety problem without tyranny.

yeah, taken out of context. probably clean95% of the time,. quicker and more efficient to clean up if they wait 'til after rush hour and do it all at once.

Going along with the idea that you want to keep this a community-based site (not letting YouTards invade), here are a few conservative and most likely unpopular thoughts for the Sift...

I'll mention this first, since, surprisingly to me, it seems to be a contentious subject. Keep PQueues as they are. They give identity to members, sometimes moreso than sifted videos. Most are not sifted because of the time posted, number of views, number of buddies that check your PQ.

Set the default for the front page back to "Newness." The mentality of the Sift has changed. I've read complaints from people saying the quality of sifted videos has gone down, and the "Hotness" tag was supposedly the remedy. The only thing that has accomplished, from my POV, is an acceleration of dumb videos being upvoted. Whether that is because of voting cliques or not, catchy titles or not, doesn't matter.

Force people to "sift" through their own personal preference of videos. This ensures a genuine appreciation for videos that are posted, with no bias based on what other people like. While going through the "Hotness" page lets you know what has been upvoted in the past half-day or so, it's barely a recognition of the quality videos that are out there. The first few are usually good, but once you get to the second page, videos with only 2, 3, or 4 votes defeat the purpose. It perplexes me sometimes when a day-old video with 2 votes can appear on the "Hot" list, and this happens often.

On the flip-side, videos that aren't recognized right away for the same factors (no 'catchy' title, not posted at 'rush hour', long videos) are ignored. I've used "Newness" all the time and the majority of them are now only getting 10-15 votes max. I'm not speaking out about my own videos - I couldn't care less about how many votes my random shit gets - but I HAVE noticed that if any of mine make the "Hot" list, they are a sure thing to get sifted, whether they are better quality than the others or not. It all depends on how many votes are received in a certain amount of time.

Some people don't know the 'hot' times to post videos and we shouldn't have to care about that. To make it fair for everyone, both the Front Page and Unsifted should be set to the "Newness" or "newest queue date" factor. If something is posted during a 'slow' time, it will get more exposure, and vice-versa. Let the people do the math (votes per view) in their own head if they want to - or, of course, use them as a secondary option.

I think this back-to-basics approach would help the Sift, in fairness both to new Sifters (who don't have cliques) and old Sifters (who think the place is going rotten with 'strategic, agenda-driven' cliques).

Shit, I didn't think this post would end up so long. Basically... present everything in newest order posted as the default, forcing people (and mostly newbs who haven't figured out how to customize) to search through and upvote things based on their own principles and what they like/dislike. The "Hotness" factor is flawed in both the Sifted and Unsifted sections.

Crap, this is too long. Nobody's gonna read it. Free promote to anyone who made it this far.

works for the jews and the niggers.

You're so multi-faceted. One day you're a mean-spirited prick, and another day you're....a mean-spirited prick. And then there's those days that you're a mean-spirited prick.

LOL. I kid.

You're a hypocrite too.

It's not okay to stereotype Russians, unless you're doing it.

If you're going to be an asshole, could you at least have some sense of consistency?
