  • My addition to your driving comment is to make sure you have the right tires on your vehicle and if you have a rear wheel drive vehicle, get rid of it and get an AWD one. And before someone jumps in and comments about how their Mustang does just fine in the snow, let me remind you that OP has no experience driving in snow, so no, a RWD car is crap for snow/ice compared to FWD or AWD.

    As for the tires, I realize studded tires have their issues, but they are still the best winter tire for both snow and ice. Blizzaks and the like are good, but on glare ice with a thin layer of water on top, they just don’t cut it the way studded tires do.









  • Straight to Godwin, huh? Not to mention it’s hardly a good comparison. Spain and Europe’s empire expansion philosophy as a whole would have led to the same result once the New World was discovered. If you disagree with that, then I don’t know how to talk to you about this topic. It’s obviously a totally different case than what Hitler did.

    Edit: Just to clarify, I’m not saying Columbus wasn’t a terrible human being, just that even if he was a saint, the outcome for indigenous peoples on this continent would have been the same. If you want to focus your hatred on one man as the source of all the suffering and genocide here, I’d probably go with Cortez over Columbus, but it would still be misplaced hatred
