  • There’s another post above that explains why. Basically it’s a monopoly on anime streaming, and they’ve done a popular voice actor dirty by intercepting his mail, which opening someone else’s mail without permission is a federal crime, especially since they legit stole what was in the packages.

    Then there’s the whole thing where Sony merged Crunchyroll and FUNimation and other services, eliminating the “buy once forever” digital streaming licenses on the other services.

    “If buying isn’t owning…” and so on.









  • Those cameras end up costing the city more than the accidents they don’t prevent. What happens is, there are less red light crossing collisions, and more rear-end collisions. Eventually, you have less red light runners to ticket, but that turns the red light camera into an expensive cost - at least $4000/mo for each camera. You have to make more than that at each stop light to justify the camera.

    The real solution is to make sure the yellow light is set with proper timing for that road. A yellow too short for the intersection increases red light running and potential for rear end collisions. But if you did that, then you won’t make anything on red light tickets, because no one would run the red light.

    So the real problem is trying to budget the city based on criminal activity - you are effectively requiring a certain minimum level of crime to balance the books.
