A kid peeking upskirt is a win?


Also, I don't think the fact that a kid peeking at an upskirt is necessarily win, but the fact that he was caught on camera is.

>> ^Payback:

What I really find telling is, the driver of the loader has NO IDEA how to drive it. One of the FIRST things you learn is how to crab-walk it sideways.
Bucket down, front wheels up
twist, move rear wheels forward
bucket up, front wheels down
twist the other way, wheels back
Repeat.


Thank you... Same with the mention of chalks. Same with the mention of using the bucket. Same with the comment that lets people know that THESE are usually the things you call in to pull/winch someone stuck. Same with the realization that everything happening in the video = tax payer money being used (paying both state workers-maybe three-to screw this up; although, that may be a utilities truck "trying to pull him out").

It completely confuses me how they haven't taught basic maneuvering on how to get these things unstuck or get things unstuck--I can almost guarantee that most farmers (whether they've been in the snow or not; at that weight mud might be worse than snow) that use one regularly know what to do.

I also must give @jmd an honorable mention for saying what I was thinking the whole time. If you see something like that get on the phone to the local PD and get out there and get the information (trust me; that driver may be hard up for cash, but that is no excuse to "possibly" cause mayhem with their work/payments for months). Also, the lady across the street is yelling just fine what the hell is his problem? He's basically muttering the whole time until his last sentence (then decides to either go out there and get dressed or goes back to sleep). Maybe that street has great acoustics.

As for the firing bit. Look at the complete negligence shown in this video. To me it shows: no common sense, can't ask for help (as said way up top--I'm sure they'll handle him gingerly for most likely totaling a vehicle--or he could have asked for help), gets a second car involved, HUGE waste of tax-payers money from this one stupid event (I'll wager that this little event will cost anywhere from 10k low -if the SUV frame is pulled to far out of alignment- and 30k high--most likely this is about 16k'ish, overall) and one more if he didn't call the cops himself. If you need the job, do IT RIGHT. You can't EVER use that as an excuse to not do the job given to you; especially so when it concerns near pre-meditated negligence all caught on camera. The fact that they did do the initial, possibly no damage, bumper hit should have been the stopping point. When they decided to keep going and said "fuck it", that is a fire-able offense. On the spot .

Last part that I find funny. That thing is heavy as hell. I'm not too sure what those guys thought they'd accomplish by trying to "pull" it out. Winching it out is at the least what you would do. Instead, what really frees the heavy-machinery is it using that SUV as friction for the tires. All they did was pull it sideways into it.


This made me think TSA employees are acting well-reasoned in bad-conditions...

(Longer than I wanted what I wanted it to be, oh well. BTW, this did go national atleast on CNN and the Weather Channel. ....So many things you can do to get yourself in that situation: salt/sand/gravel mixtures in front & back, shovel, metal/rubber tire wedges, @Payback's comment, @ridesallyridenc comment, @BoneRemake's comment, @Porksandwich's comment, it goes, on, and on, and on, and on.... )

Other than that bastard homo sapiens, no creature is ever really "caught" doing anything. All but one of God's creatures even knows of the existence of right and wrong.


Bah! That bastard platypuss beat us again!

DAMN YOU PLATYPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSS!

If I know my sharks (and I do) that is a Great White... or as the camera-guy helpfully say towards the end a 'woit poindah'.


Indeed it is.

This video would have been so much better with the addition of a hyphen or two in the title to make it:

"Shark-eating whale-carcass caught on camera"

Now THAT would be something to behold!

You sure about that sifty?

"Sooo... uh, yeah, not really sure what 'fallacy' you had in mind in your angry little rant..."
It's the fallacy called "weak analogy". From twenty-one years ago... week one of Philosophy 101, I believe.
You can make analogy for ANY two things. A "weak analogy" isn't saying the comparisons you are making aren't true. It's saying that the comparisons you are making don't support your original claim, or, that the two things being compared aren't alike in ways relevant to your point.
So, what is shponglefan's claim? Well, if you can wade through his (or her, w/e) spittle, he was defending his position that she should be killed, unless, of course, by "taken out of the gene pool" he simply meant fitted and forced to wear a chastity device of some kind. I'm gonna assume it was the former. His analogy of baby and cat was in defence of that claim. Mentality basically stated he was a psycho for wishing for her death, and shponglefan defended his position by making the analogy. His claim is that babies and cats have either moral or legal equivalency when it comes to meting out punishment (if I see it correctly).
Of course it was a dispicable act. No stable person wantonly hurts animals. But animals, and, specifically in this case, the cat, aren't the same as babies in the eyes of the law. The legal (and moral) realities of society just don't permit executions for animal abuse, as much as you wish it. If that had been a baby, she'd never see daylight again, and the police wouldn't be protecting her, they'd have thrown her in jail where she would be in mortal danger if the story ever permeated the inmate population. If the hypothetical baby had died, she may be facing the death penalty. The fact is that animal abuse is not the same as child abuse. Not by a long shot. Shponglefan pulled the analogy out of his ass to cover his irrational call for her death. It was an emotional appeal that had no bearing to either the facts, or his own premise. It was a WEAK ANALOGY.
Your comparisons of babies and cats, while all true, don't support your claim that shponglefan was making a good point. If you are defending shponglefan's "point" because babies and kittens make similar noises when they are young, and/or because babies and cats are the same size when born, then your first paragraph is also a WEAK ANALOGY. If you weren't offering the analogy as support for your claim, then it's a red herring. Either way, you got it wrong.
And no, I wouldn't hire her.
>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Comparing a cat to a child is more apt than you might think. Our fascination with cats (dogs too) springs from parental instincts. Pets are roughly the size of human babies. They make noises similar to a young child. They are dependent on our feeding and care and in return they give us love and affection. Our interaction with pets is very much like our interaction with children.
The outrage in this thread seems very instinctual and evolutionary to me. Anyone who would purposely jeopardize a young fragile life in this manner should be cast out for the well being of the tribe. Child murderer = baaaaad. The violent rhetoric in this thread serves as negative reinforcement to this kind of sociopathic behavior.
Would you hire this woman to baby sit your kid? (If you said no, your evolutionary instinct is in good shape.)
Sooo... uh, yeah, not really sure what 'fallacy' you had in mind in your angry little rant, but you got it wrong. shponglefan has made a good point here.

Your weak analogy of cat and baby is a logical fallacy in itself.>>
