Media licensing has been the greatest boost to profits for Lego while simultaneously causing a shift away from creative/imaginative building. Meaning, more people (adults) than ever are buying lego sets but they build what’s on the box and then it sits on a shelf forever, instead of modifying the initial build or taking it apart and making something new.

I’m not trying to criticize anyone’s hobby, and I too have purchased an expensive licensed lego set, built it, and let it collect dust on my shelf. It’s such an expensive way to get or build a model of something though. I much prefer making my own creations. And i could take apart this cool, big, expensive batmobile, but I don’t because it reminds me of a movie i like. Contrast this with my lego space sets, which i took apart almost immediately after building in order to build an even cooler, bigger space station with.

We'd finally have one properly functioning piece of a criminal justice system?

Horns should be used to convey one short message: “pay attention”.

That’s it. Not “you were wrong” or “i hate you” or “i’m frustrated” or “i want you to move”. All those do are confuse, frustrate, and anger other drivers. I know better but I am still guilty of doing it on rare occasions, usually when someone has just used their vehicle as a weapon and tried to hit me or threaten me.
