I too have never had a time sensitive emergency

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What kind of emergency is more important than the lives of people that might be killed by a drunk driver's mistake? And how is it impossible to find an alternative solution?

Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I'm never surprised that someone drove drunk.

(Especially before Uber.)

What emergency is so time sensitive it's worth killing yourself and a random family for?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The fact that you can't actually think of an emergency is telling.

[–] kuhli@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Still didn't name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

honestly, any emergency that involves hitting you and yours. that's because i don't feel like remembering them. i've been the car that the police pulls over because it's driving erratically and then takes over driving. it's an abstract concept to you. not to me.

Were you drunk or just driving erratically because you were in an emergency?

Also, still didn't name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over

Also, still didn’t name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over

because i don't have to tell you about the worst times in my life for your entertainment. read the room you creep

I'm not asking for you to talk about your life, I'm asking you to come up with literally any imaginary event that supports your argument that it's okay to drunk drive under the right circimstamces

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

wait really you harass someone with ptsd until they blow up, then complain to the mods over it and delete your comment starting the argument? you are quite possibly the biggest pussy on the internet.

let me be EXTRAORDINARILY CLEAR. you treat me like my life is worthless, why should i take any action to preserve yours.

[–] kuhli@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

lmao wtf are you on about? Mods? I deleted a comment immediately after posting, it got zero votes and you never even had a chance to reply to it. I don't even remember what it said.

I said people don't have a right to endanger others, the fact you took that as treating you like your life is worthless says a lot

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago

just anything that puts you and yours directly in front of the car.
