Then he gets a 100k hospital bill later.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 109 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Only 75k since he didn't have to take an ambulance

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 weeks ago

Long-term, I honestly don’t know whether this is the cheaper option. DUIs make insurance pricy.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 weeks ago

Still not in jail.

Anywhere else the cop would ask why tf didn't you just take an ambulance like a normal person

In America it’s not surprising to drive while stabbed!

Can we start doing the Russia jokes but American.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Democratic America school finishes you.

[–] pkmkdz@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Capitalists America the ambulance service rides you

In Capitalists America you aid the health care

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe not so much the last one? I'd say in other countries with free healthcare "we" would aid health care through taxes. I get your joke though haha.

Do people in the states pay taxes to health care?

Hey I'll have you know that in Australia an ambulance can cost >$1000 without insurance!

The problem is so serious that they run seminars in schools telling students to not hesitate calling for ambulances, because human lives are worth more than $1000.

You're also not legally required to pay medical bills in the states.

You can just ignore hospital bills, and they can't refuse treatment if you don't pay.

So don't worry about it; throw the bills in the trash, block the debt collectors' numbers, and carry on with your life. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.

Saw a guy in italy almost ram a cop car atan intersection. I think the driver was running a red light, but could have been the cop running a red. Anyhow, the driver breaks just before the cop car, and the cop on the passanger side just gesticulates his discontent but they just keep rolling on anyway. They could not be bothered.

in Italy

Just gesticulates his discontent

Wait, I think I know how that looked like.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you saying you want more active enforcement?

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'm saying I'd bet it was 🤌🤌

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 31 points 2 weeks ago

Italian drivers are fucking insane, it was probably just Tuesday for the cop

You'll 100% be on national news if you do this in South Korea.

Sounds hard to believe. Or maybe the cops in my city have less empathy.

If you were conscious but stabbed, a police officer would absolutely spend a few minutes writing a report while waiting for paramedics.

Driving while intoxicated, they might still fine you for that.

If you were brown and drunk, they'd probably arrest you.

If you were brown, drunk, and the knife was within arms reach, you'd be tased and arrested for assaulting the officer.

The point I'm trying to make: being stabbed does not stop a police officer from doing their favorite job in the world


beating innocent people.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.

I've seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drunk driving just because they don't want to deal with it.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I had planned to watch it this weekend for the first time 🥲

[–] chicolismo@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Go watch it. This guy is making shit up.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Image from the funniest part of a movie that I won’t spoil because I was surprised and wish I could watch it again for the first time.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)
[–] skibidi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure he is talking about Burn After Reading, the green text image is from that movie.

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.
