Its not usually “Truck drivers” its people who have rented a box truck.

Maybe thats why they sold so many microtransactions. “Surely if I spend another $10 it wont be shit”

I saw a down’s syndrome kid do it once when his carer got distracted for a moment.

You dont notify the government directly, you notify the news desks of MSNBC, Fox, ABC and the major newspapers. Do it via express postage envelopes a few days out, include any publicly available info on hijackers, flight numbers and times.

The Government might ignore it as a hoax, but not if they know that the information has come via every major news outlet in the country. They have to act.

You are assuming that the government will run the insurance process competently. The government already is beholden to the voters and public opinion and they are just so efficient and devoid of red tape right? You’re also assuming the government will run the insurance industry as some sort of benevolent not for profit as opposed to a new form of tax. Not to mention what happens when the republicans get in and decide to raise insurance on electric vehicles or manipulate the price of insurance on cars from certain countries as a form of ersatz import tariff, or install political appointment figureheads who can take kickbacks to make certain manufacturers cheaper to insure. Not to mention the formation of a government department of adjusters and estimators to run the whole deal.

The existing system sucks buy I dont see the government having total control and no alternatives being some sort of magical panacea.

So it should be a government controlled monopoly?

D.Y.E.L

If it helps at all, if you do your job right follow the doctors orders and administer care and medications as instructed you are next to impossible to be held responsible for the patient having negative outcomes. A doctor, even a hard working one who knows their shit well and does their absolute best is still under the constant threat of a career ending lawsuit from a patient.

Auto insurance being mandatory makes sense in that the wronged person shouldn’t have their life destroyed because someone can’t drive and afford to replace a car.

Australia has a mixed system.

Theres some nuance to this but essentially the government covers most things but you might wait a long time, especially for anything that isnt actively killing you. You don’t get to pick your doctor, you get the treatments that are govt approved and you get shuffled out the door just as fast as humanly possible.

Private health insurance means you can choose your specialist, you have more of a say in your treatments and if your specialist says “If you want to go home tomorrow you can, but I’d like you to stay in for 3 days ideally” and you can if you want.

Just because it can be done well doesnt mean it isn’t a shortcut around good writing for a LOT of these stories.

It hands the writer a blank cheque for exposition and worldbuilding because the main character needs to have everything explained to them or figure everything out and it excuses any form of set up as to the how and why the character is in this situation.

Motherfucker preach!

I like some Anime because I get bored with Hollywood, and I really just want something different, I hate most anime because the 16yo boy who is thrust into the role of the hero surrounded by attractive half naked women with huge tits and is constantly embarrassed but yet somehow manages to constantly save the day because reasons is even more played out than the NCIS writing room.

The Isekai thing is so fucking played out, Its possibly the laziest writing trope ever.

In Australia we go with “Farkin hot”

Lie on the ground, tuck head into arms protect face and vitals, aggressively log roll back and forth.

Takes away their extreme agility advantage and uses my mass as a weapon… I think 100 would probably be a pretty fair number.

You can come over on burger night… with the mustard guy.

Yeah about 20 years ago.

The vibe was different, it was racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic jokes. Now it feels like a bunch of racists sexists bigots and homophobes telling jokes. Nobody cared about who anyone really was, it was a shittalking shitposting competition. At some point it stopped feeling like bantz, it just started to feel ugly.

Maybe I just grew up a bit, but I at least remember it being that way.

4chan really was hilarious sometimes.

Well I mean, it IS a step up from my current jobs policy which is “Yes you need a car to get here, no we arent providing one and if you don’t have one you don’t have a job”
