Reply to To challenge a school bus camera ticket, potential issue from bus driver. by MarmalAIDs

In case anyone wondered even more about how dishonest the OP is:

He’s driving a 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback or newer it seems. In his original post, He claims he brakes, this is in fact a lie. His brake light is not on, it’s his fog light. At the 7,8,9 second light I can see the top his hatch, there’s a brake light there, if he was braking the light would be on but there’s clearly no light on at the top of his hatch

Op this jury finds you guilty and a shitty person

This, I live in Shippensburg so I know exactly what you're talking about. Now they're even building them off 11. Here in ship were dealing with the same thing. This was all planned I'm sure of it. All of the land around 81 was bought up by the university, the family that owns h&h Chevy and other investment groups. They just waited for all this to happen and cash in. Farms get bought up not by farmers but by developers.

The van got to witness potentially 4 seconds of yellow lights/part of the stop sign opening before the van was no longer obscuring my view, 4 seconds of time I didnt have in relation to the view of the bus being blocked by the van. Up the hill further back the bus was on lower ground and was visible from a further distance, but as the ground leveled the van blocked what would be where the bus stopped. The bus didnt have hazards/stop sign deployed when I was witnessing them driving ahead before the van obscured the view.

Also why i emphasize the 150-300ft the driver needed, as that would have been plenty of time and distance to inform me and the van to slow down to a stop (compared to the van slamming their breaks and me being out of view)

I made the same argument when they demolished 2 (occupied rental) homes and plowed over farm land to build a massive warehouse off 81 here in Newville. Its bad enough the in town roads are not big enough for a semi and a car, but those things utterly destroy local roads. The pavement is a total washboard at every light. I was told to basically shut up and sit down because it is bringing jobs to the area. Yeah. Low wage, dead end jobs to an already poverty line area.

Fuck monster warehouses.

Reply to The Pennsylvania State Coat of Arms is badass and underrated by EMF911

From Wikipedia:

>The Pennsylvania coat of arms features a shield crested by a North American bald eagle, flanked by horses, and adorned with symbols of Pennsylvania's strengths—a ship carrying state commerce to all parts of the world; a clay-red plough, a symbol of Pennsylvania's rich natural resources; and three golden sheaves of wheat, representing fertile fields and Pennsylvania's wealth of human thought and action. An olive branch and cornstalk cross limbs beneath—symbols of peace and prosperity. The state motto, "Virtue, Liberty and Independence", appears festooned below. Atop the coat of arms is a bald eagle, representing Pennsylvania's loyalty to the United States.

I was about to hate on the boat given that we have no coastline when the coat of arms was first proposed (Erie was annexed iirc) but the symbols are much more interesting when explained like I was five.
