what the fuck ? This isn't dubbed ?

what ? what if he killed a child ? He didn't kill anyone - child or man, and no, even if he did he doesn't "deserve" this.

The fuck is wrong with you ?

"there has to be something only i am capable of" ?? Yeah, angry birds.

i'll have you know that was probably my favorite comment i've ever made online.

also, derka derka

derp derp, fart fartie fart.

tony hawks games have gone horribly downhill since the first few. Fortunately the skate series are way way better games than tony hawks ever was.

even if they did they'd almost certainly need a special licence to fly like this, surely.

yeah maybe. i dunno, i've seen people just freeze like a deer in the headlights whenever something unusual happens on the road.

Literally last night we pulled up as an accident had occurred ahead of us, and for the next five minutes the number of people who blasted past a line of stopped cars all with their hazards on and full headlight beams illuminating the crash site and so on, was staggering. Last minute they'd realize that yes, there's a car blocking one lane and facing the wrong way all smashed to bits and yes, there's glass and oil on the road. One after anouther they'd slam on the brakes, almost hit it, then almost get rear ended.

People drive with total tunnel vision i think. It's kinda scary how little awareness some people have. On the other hand maybe they're an asshole. hard to say.

deaf ?

Well firstly you're making an appeal to extremes which is besides the point, and secondly cancer or unemployment aren't (or at least shouldn't be in the case of unemployment) a choice which isn't the case with having a family. Also beside the point but roads should quite probably be paid by those that use them, which is why road taxing on cars exists.

Anyhow all that nonsense aside, to give you an idea how it works here; you get 6 months off _paid_, most employers push that out to a year. This leads to things like people coming back to work for 2-3 months after the year already pregnant again, then having their second child and taking anouther year off. At the end of the second year off they quit the job. Now, i've seen this happen several times just in my workplace, and i'd say roughly 50% of the people who take the time off when having kids don't come back at all, at the end of it though, they happily take the cash while on leave.

imho, if you want to have kids you should accept that it's going to take a lot of saving money up for it, and hell - it's not like we're struggling with population right now anyhow. People are having kids just dandy, so no, i don't think really any paid time off is a particularly good idea.

no kids. Seems kinda unfair to get like any paid time off tbh.

unfortunately the liveleak videos of them falling off cranes aren't nearly as popular as the youtube ones of it going well. Both exist, though.

RSI coming to you in 3...2...1...

to be honest, i've never noticed that. i used to live in the uk, and now in nz. It's been better here for me, if anything.

People say "if you cant afford the tip don't go out", but I should prolly have said that last time i was in usa was on business. I didn't really want to go out dining but the hotel had no restaurant. That tip would come out my own pocket (as far as i know, anyhow). This is every meal, every night for a week or more. It really adds up if you're tipping $15 each time.

last time i was in usa yeah, its freaking everywhere. I ordered a beer in a bar and the woman wants $4 for the beer and $1 more for... what, opening it ? fuck that.

Outcome was i ended up ordering 5 beers and tipping once, then going to liquor store and getting rest to have back at hotel. ugh.
