I had a 7 year old girl brought to the hospital I worked out of at the time, while I was employed as a crisis intervention worker.
Flipping out, screaming, punching, kicking, biting, as they try to secure her on the stretcher. She kicks her mother in the face in the process, bad bloody nose, possibly broken, blood starts pouring out, 7 year old starts giggling and pointing at her mother as this happens.
Ya got me what the answer is to these situations.
A lot of the people that drive these things are acting like children in adult bodies. I have seen some wildly dumb shit happen. It's like the car company created by the Darwin Awards...
I literally once saw someone eating on a little folding table/desk of some sort in their Tesla (driver seat, of course) with the dash screen playing some sort of media.
Another time, the person was playing a handheld gaming console of some sort, in the driver seat.
An the automatic lane switching doesn't adjust for people speeding up in the passing lane well. I've seen a couple near accidents there.
Reagan ended federal funding for state psychiatric institutions and then was almost assassinated by a schizophrenic. Didn't change his mind after that though, why?
Because the man was an idiot.
Such a strange thing to make a stand against, especially from the punk scene haircuts I remember back in the 80s, 90s. This isn't even super noticeable, comparatively.
Gee, wonder what the real issue is here....
I could not believe that when I read it.
Pathetic, not even capable of accepting responsibility for his own actions.
I would imagine he will not be apologizing to the family either.
The fact that some people are ok with, "subscriptions taking off" in this very post is troubling.
The future, where you own nothing, pay a subscription for everything.
What a sad death of such an iconic service.
Growing up in the 1990s hardcore/punk scene(s), myself and friends took Greyhounds everywhere. As did a lot of homeless punk kids back then. For friends I knew that were being physically and/or sexually abused, Greyhound was their only way out.
A lot of memories there.
I posted on Lemmy about needing recommendations for movies to watch on shrooms....and then minutes later stumble across this article.
Talk about perfect timing, lol.
This is really starting to feel like a perfect replacement for that...other website.
The future:
"Malwarebytes has flagged your entire operating system as potential malware"
Lol....... :/
I remember reading about, "pod hotels" in Akiharbara, "Electric Town", Japan in the late 90s or early 2000s. I recall them being marketed as a cheap way to see the neighborhood. Even back then, Akiharbara was the global epicenter of anime/manga, retro gaming, arcades, computer stores and repair shops.
Glad to see the concept has now evolved to, "dystopian hell" some 20 years later.
I'm more concerned about this loser parent going around stalking 16 year olds being 16 year olds.
This whole story certainly inspires one to despise technology, however.
