So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
[+] yA3xAKQMbq@lemm.ee -24 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (4 children) Imagine being proud of drinking and driving Edit: wow, seems your not alone in thinking killing others is a sport 👍 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 13 points 3 years ago And if they said "yet I always had extra money for video games", would you have assumed they were playing games while driving? Would "extra money for a bathroom remodel" translate into them doing the actual renovations in the passenger seat while driving? permalink fedilink source parent [–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago* Imagine making the assumption that just because they can afford to drink, they obviously did it while/before driving. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) You appear to be German speaking. That is not what my comment meant: the beer was purchased on the way home and consumed in my home. We would often cross paths at the nearest gas station to the marina where I'd buy a case and they'd only be able to fill their tanks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yA3xAKQMbq@lemm.ee -1 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Don’t know what that has to do with me being German, my English is good enough to see that you said „showed up at the marina and had $20 for beer“ and nothing about a gas station, funny. Sure, the US has 40k traffic deaths, DUI deaths make up >30% (3rd place! 👍), the legal limit is still BAC 0.08% basically everywhere, but suddenly you weren’t actually meeting at the marina but at a gas station and everybody just drank alone at home. Sure, buddy 🤡 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Okay I was just giving you the benefit of the doubt. My mistake, clearly. I have no business being cordial given your apparent anger on this subject. So: argue into the ether over an anecdotal memory I have about having a vehicle with fuel economy that saved me money. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MrEUser@lemmy.ninja 4 points 3 years ago Imagine thinking a straw man argument matters… They didn’t say anything about drinking and driving, why do you think it’s okay to assume it? permalink fedilink source parent
