that boulder

Fun fact - These cops are in charge of whether you go to prison because they describe you to a judge as a person who is guilty who looked like the human sized criminal. Sorry you weren't born rich.

Accidently hits you with their car

Reports the event by saying that they were running after you for uttering threats, looked like you were on drugs and you had a weapon in your hand

Perhaps we should invent a word for sizes between large and small. Somewhere in the middle.

Naw, sounds like ~~too much~~ ~~too little~~ just the right amount of effort.

"Just the right amount of boulder is blocking the eastbound lane..."

That works.

It's a large boulder the size of a small boulder relative to an even larger boulder.

Hey leave the boulder's extended family out of this.

The only metric distance most Americans care to learn is 9mm.

I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".

Probably "the size of a small car".

Not just this post, but I wish every tweet or social media post had a date tied to it. "21 hours ago" tells me nothing about when this was actually posted.

Like that burned-in timestamp feature on film cameras.
