in real life you give advice first, then after that's taken care of you move on to any necessary constructive criticism about word choice / attitude / etc.
on the the internet it's the other way around. |

Gerbil accidents do happen, and I'm not trying to paint you as a villain, but take responsibility. You fire a hundred guns every time you stick a gerbil up your ass, don't reframe the time someone gets tagged as something that just happened, especially not something that just happened to YOUR COUSIN.
anomaly, you better fuckin' thank jake for those touch-ups. He helped you out without even asking for any sort of compensation. FREE OF CHARGE, BRO!

Trolling Jesse is more douchey than Jesse. Who isn't douchey at all. Arrogant maybe but his posts are way more poignant and interesting than those ragging on him. Make a sound counterpoint rather than being a....... Douche. |

I don't think Jesse would approve of the term "douchey" being thrown around like that. Also, I think this is a forum, we share opinions here. If you want 100% cold, hard facts then you should stick to Wikipedia. |

What type of advice could you possibly give in this situation if you're not a lawyer? Pay attention?...next time? |

Was anyone genuinely uncertain if Nemonic had hit someone? There was some ambiguity of language, but at no point did I get the impression that Nemonic was saying it was the pedestrian's fault or that has was trying to evade responsibility. If anything, an amount of concern for the welfare of the victim should have been expressed by those in the "douche" camp as a way of positively reframing this discussion. Jesse, per usual, called attention to aspects of the discussion in a way that wasn't helpful to anyone. If you want someone to take responsibility for their actions there are far more useful and constructive methods than full-force dickishness.
So then I got to thinking, how does Jesse interact with those he calls friends? We saw it in a video of his. There was a dude beatboxing while Jesse did some Stomp-like action with pop cans. But then what does Jesse do? He gets perturbed by the crude phallic nature of the cans and starts fucking up the rhythm. Then he knocks all of the cans off the picnic table. This is analogous to just about everything Jesse posts that isn't self-promoting. He takes a fun situation and makes it lame through self-righteous (note again the emphasis on the self) destruction. |

Man...folks around here cross the street all the time without thinking on some "I'm a pedestrian, I dare you to hit me." Crossing not at crosswalks, but just in the middle of the street, even when you have a green light. Sometimes even with multiple lanes. Its amazing. I suppose you may win the lawsuit, but Im sure you'd trade that money knowing you died or got blasted around carelessly like a rag doll. I've got insurance, but is the $$ plus your nuts getting ripped off by my bumper gonna make it all good?
Its almost worse in California with bicyclists. Dudes just occupying lanes with cars on 3-4 lane roads. You're not Kevin Bacon, get the fuck off the road. And I can count on one hand the times I've seen people using hand signals. Its the law, beedges...you already lost your cool points when you wore a full spandex outfit and a live strong bracelet.

Under the right circumstances many people could accidentally hit a pedestrian taking a left.
You're in the middle of the intersection waiting for oncoming traffic that is running the yellow light. Now the cross traffic has a green and you're looking over your right shoulder to see if someone is going to t-bone you. Pedestrian is dressed in dark.
My reaction if this kind of tragic circumstance happened would be as follows:
Oh my fucking God I hurt someone. I hope they'll be ok and nothing is permanent. I could've easily killed them and I feel sick about the whole thing, if I did I don't know how I would live with myself afterwards. I'm scared to drive now.
Please compare my reaction to the following:
Quote:
My question is, is anyone familiar with this? Besides going to court and paying the ticket which was for "Failure to yield right of way to pedestrian" and personal injury, am I looking at a lawsuit? And if so, how bad a lawsuit? By the way the victim did not ask me for any of my personal information although I suppose she can get it from the police that filed the report.
In my opinion our society is sick and the original poster is a product of that so I don't necessarily blame them for this train of thought.
The fear of liability is bottlenecking our society, especially in the healthcare realm so it's not too surprising that initial reactions jump to that.
It's hard to keep my criticism constructive. |
