i thought something was up. a snow man made of the fluffiest powder would absolutely totall my car. ain’t no way i would just hit snow men
I wanna see the zoom video of that court hearing. I don't think a judge is gonna be on your side, buddy.
I would kind of like to give some benefit of the doubt. Maybe if the snowman was in his driveway or the road or an alleyway or something then it would be a justfied complaint, but all I can imagine in my head is him swerving through a front yard to hit a snowman and yelling "20 POINTS!!"
In any case, it's careless driving, because even a snowman built from freshly fallen snow is going to mess up your car if you hit it.
If the snowman has been out a few days, it's probably icy and would damage more.
bet this guy voted for Trump
Behold the rewards of not linking to source: commenters fall for engagement bait, lack of web accessibility.
Post needs link to source for web accessibility and web connectivity.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not.
Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can't
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can't explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
- searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

Let me guess: it was not the first time the asshole plowed a snowman there, and the kids were just smarter than the driver...
What if there was a baby sitting and chilling in the snow man? Stay on the road, you dipshit, I recommend property seizure of this man and termination of driving license and perhaps an art course on snowmen and how to avoid driving over adventurous babies by staying on the fucking road and not being a piece of shit.
And $10K fine and put him on the sexual offender registration list.

How exactly did this mustang hit a snowman?
What if, while the mustang was driving toward the snowman, a kid was lying in the snow making a snow angel?
