Haha lira.
Of course that gif is from China.
I've seen them do it too. Absolutely everyone has a dash cam due to this. |
Sorry if I am showing my age (39) and ignorance, but is the goal to appear to have been hit by a careless driver then sue? Get govt benefits? |

Wouldn't this be counter-productive in China? I thought Jay said that a Chinese person that hits someone with their car is likely to make sure that person dies so that the payment to that person's family is lower (I forget the dollar amount, tens of thousands I think) vs paying for the injured person's care for life
In Russia it is common for drivers to have dash cams so that they don't get their insurance canceled or jacked up when a scam artist with 30 pillows taped to him takes a strategic jump into their windshield and gets easy money. |

| Jay, I often find your dehumanisation of the Chinese troubling, but when you see like this it becomes hard not to despair at humanity in all its wretched permutations. |

| I've been thinking about getting a dash cam, for no other reason than to capture the ing idiocy out there on the road and provide visual enhancement to my road rage tales. Lol. |

Well, there is a segment of the population that is brilliant, connected, real mensa candidates and rich.
The "we are the one percent," alway made me laugh.
Here it is the "we are the 000.1%" due to population.
They do all to help people here, and they amount of destitute people with absolutely no shot at anything in life is crazy. Not laughing either,this is like some perverted caste system.
I'm far from being a commie, but it would seem that the ideology would provide for them.
This is not a communist country. This is a brutally capitilistic society that makes America look like Cuba.
It isn't honest, but if you do like this, you do it because you have no choice and any way of supporting yourself.
It sucks...I'm lucky.
To drive your head into a car yo hopefully provide for your kid (pure speculation) is sometimes the only way.
This is an interesting place.
Thee are riches beyond my country, yet there is desperation higher than anything i have ever seen before.
Welcome to the China, we got fun and games. |

That only applies when someone with money hits someone with none.
That gif is the equivalent of killing yourself for life insurance so baby can eat. |

This time last week I was just waking up. Was so sick in the afternoon from the night before, but managed to pull it together for another night out. Hot shower and hair of the dog do wonders, lol.
I've had the last 3 weekends off and have been off from my full time job for two weeks now, with 3 more days to go. Going out every weekend seems to make time go by faster, and obviously is exhausting. I dunno how some of my friends do it. I actually enjoy working every other weekend. |

Dude, I almost puked in the McDonald's drive through last week. Placed my order then pulled back around so I could use the washroom. I was concerned I might lose the urge once I got in there, but that was quickly nulled when the one stall was occupied by some woman with a case of the squirts, and the remaining toilet I had to use had a huge ing log in it. And it wasn't just floating there either, it was stuck to the inside of the bowl with a scrape behind it where it had already clearly been flushed, unsuccessfully.
Was so glad I ordered a McFlurry after all that. |
