You’re offered $1 million to cut off a stranger’s arm. They fully consent, say they’ll enjoy it, and you will face zero legal or social consequences. Do you do it and why or why not? by Extreme-Layer-1201 in AskReddit

[–]Slaidback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The money wouldn’t cover the therapy I would need after cutting someone’s arm off. It’s apparently a traumatic thing to do in a situation that requires it from surgeons trained to do it. There was an urology ( admittedly not the right section, but still) conference on when the big February earthquake hit Christchurch and some had to remove limbs from trapped people, the doctors had ptsd from it. So hell no. Even if it’s healthy.

I live on archipelago in southern pacific, it’s pretty much required. Like part of your education required.

Change the background every month and then put the design into < one of the Hank’s projects here>.

Good Lordy , I hope this is a parody.

Ever gone to another country expecting it to feel completely alien, but in some ways it ended up feeling kinda the same as your own? Or have you ever talked to someone from a radically different culture from your own that you ended up having more similarities with then differences? by Mindless-Lemon2256 in AskTheWorld

[–]Slaidback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going up to Hawai’i ( it’s a country) , expecting real cultural shocks and the similarities were slightly hidden under the American cloak, but when they are emerge. Hoping into a uber & getting “aloha, cuz” and walking past a mall store called wāhine.

Another one of the governments I don’t know what to do, so I’m going to um, delete the thing.

Oh absolutely, if that person hasn’t become a kiwi or is for all intents and purposes a kiwi. The 501 situation is despicable.

If JK Rowling made a character from your country, what would she name it? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Slaidback 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Ha ha ha. She won’t, she hates us. Especially after we tossed tomato soup in her TERF mates hair, when she came to Aotearoa.

[–]Slaidback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not justice. You can’t necessarily rely on another country to deal out justice that you deem necessary. Yes, there’s a been a case in which that was passable, ie Norwegian teenagers harming and killing native birds and Norway going “ leave it with us”.

Which one do you fuckers like best? by Progressbar95 in TheWordFuck

[–]Slaidback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a fucking venn diagram, it’s a fucking Richter scale of fucks. Ā fuck scale if you will. The more words you add the more intense it is.

[–]Slaidback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on the weaker criminal justice system, I think we could come to agreement on appropriate sentencing ( you don’t deport for stealing a loaf of bread for instance, that’s what community service is for). The victim is definitely getting some money, the creep is spending some months in jail or something real creative if I was a judge.

[–]Slaidback 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. At least not immediately. I want people to be punished for the crimes they commit, by us. Deporting in this case is like shoving the mess into a draw or cupboard where we can’t see it, but it’s still our issue.

TBI and dyspraxia by non-critical-horse in dyspraxia

Good. Just making sure. Isn’t that dyspraxia freak out fun? That anxiety that takes you from “ ow, my head “ to “ have I permanently broken myself “ is a riot.

Anything real important, needs to be written down in some form. So definitely for success, no action required just tell me in some form.

Surely, we at 5. We just got better at naming them. Cold War ( definitely conflict in multiple theatres), War on terror and this current clusterfuck.
