From school, I remember the math very well. We did have a home ec type class. A single period for a single semester. They called it âsenior experienceâ. The obvious joke was âmy grandfather had a lot of senior experiences. Before he died.â
The class was basically a free period in a confined space. Like a homeroom. It was a velvety prison, in an unlit second story room with the windows open. And a teacher who would have floated away, if not for the bug screen. She was always high. Or maybe sheâd been treated with electroshock or something. She was like a benign Ben Carson. Whatever she said didnât make a lick of sense.
From the Guardian article:
âI think the people getting parking tickets are the most vulnerable in societyâ Browder told Venture Beat.
Words fail me.
A granted appeal may not mean the ticket was bullshit. In college, I worked as an appeals officer for a university parking enforcement department. Our policy was to compassionately educate through the appeals process. Getting people to understand and follow the rules was more important than getting their fifteen dollars. And in fact, if it was your first parking ticket, we automatically granted your appeal. When everyone follows the parking rules, we all benefit.
But if you abused the handicapped parking spaces in any way, you were doomed. There was no mercy for those people.
That is sometimes true, especially with the people who habitually break the rules. There is some kind of mental illness underlying their behavior. It means they canât grasp the most basic parking rules, or any other rules either, and they donât understand why they always get in trouble. The world is a big guessing game for them, and they usually guess wrong because all the easy correct answers are already taken.
Maybe they shouldnât be driving, then?
Perhaps those who get parking tickets are more vulnerable, on average, than drivers in general; but to suggest that they are âthe most vulnerable in societyâ is ridiculous.
Donât forget that that number only counts the people who knew about the chat bot and used it. Even if there were some free passes, and i seriously doubt the government would do that on purpose when they could just as easily get paid, what about all the other ones who should have gotten off but didnât know about the bot or their rights or couldnât stand to take it to court, etc.?
He seems like an intelligent guy to have made this bot so how the hell did he rack up THIRTY parking tickets?? Does he just struggle with cause and effect?
Iâm concerned about unjustified ticketing for sure but I get the sense that this is more about successfully getting out of a ticket on a technicality rather than them being overzealously applied.
What I really want to know is how can one person get 30 tickets by age 19?
At 52 I canât remember having had any - there must have been one or two but it has been so long âŚ
Maybe he is a âtime optimistâ and often realizes too late, again, that he is already late and there are no free spaces unless he breaks some rules? Or perhaps itâs a gamble - I know some areas here in Sweden where some people gamble on not getting ticketed, and end up paying less than if they had paid for their parking.
