LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
If the reddit comments are to be believed: straight from the parking lot into the drink
I was sober except for the part where I maybe wasn't except in a legal sense and then on top of that suffered a bunch of other ailments that made me drive into a pond, over a curb and some other shit
On good will I hand it to this person that this sounds american-with-no-alternatives as fuck and they didn't frame it as a sort of passive "I got into an accident" but like still
Assuming the prior intoxication wasn't contributing, if you know you suffer ailments that could impair your successful operation of a multi-thousand pound object capable of subsonic speeds, maybe don't drive in the fucking rain and compound it.
Aren't all objects capable of subsonic speeds?
Not photons
C could be less than undefined

Wouldn't that depend on the medium they travel through?
How many workplaces let you call in sick because it's raining?
You could call in sick because of Lyme disease I bet
I had a coworker who got Lyme real bad
Still had to pull a open-close double whammy shift with me
That was a rough day
Making someone do that is practically a human rights violation sheesh
are you really trying to justify this? lol.
unfamiliar area disqualifies it from that consideration but a whole lot of people driving when they shouldn't is because they'll die of homelessness if they lose their job.
Yeah without caring if they kill someone else in the process which is the issue
Are you really trying to dismiss societal factors out of hand and push a "personal responsibility" narrative? lol
Rain is an external factor, Lyme and blood sugar drops are societal by way of healthcare, but being just below 0.08 when the cops arrive at the scene and breathalyze you is one's own doing.
Wait the legal BAC in America is 0.08??? In China it's 0.02. And I thought Australia was high with 0.05
England and the US are 0.08, which seems to have influenced much of the world. No one really has any limit higher than 0.08. Most of Western Europe (EU15 ish) is 0.05.
What's probably an equally big risk is distracted driving and tired driving, but tired driving is very hard to quantify. If we didn't require cars so much, it wouldn't really matter because you could walk or ride a bike home (I have done this many times when drunk or high, without any problem). As an American, I feel like it's easier to phase out cars than it is to stop drunk driving.
Fuckin' England.
Looked it up
Vietnam: 0.00
China: 0.02.
Taiwan province, South Korea and Japan: 0.03
Hong Kong: 0.05.
Singapore: 0.08
The more influenced by England, the more the country tolerates driving while drunk. Look:
Republic of Ireland and Scotland: 0.05
England and Wales: 0.08
...Okay yeah I somehow missed that part, fair point
But how else are you going to get $1 margaritas at Applebees?
I'm gonna be honest if that top reddit post holds true neither being familiar or it being sunny would've saved that one
ah lol.
I mean, I really blame American capitalism. Yes, this person made a morally objectionable decision by driving with Lyme disease and still tipsy from the previous night. But American jobs won't let you call in sick unless you're dying. And America has no public transit, so cars it is.zz
I think that's another reason COVID got so bad in America, think of all the people who got called into work even though they had COVID. I remember one time I called into work for a week for COVID and my chef was still trying to get me to come in.
