That’s how it’s supposed to work in the US too. Maybe it depends on the state but in MN at least it’s illegal to fail to pull over for emergency vehicles. If you see any emergency vehicle on the road running with lights on then you are supposed to stop and pull off to the side so that they can have the whole road.

The video in the OP looks nuts to me too. I’ve never seen people fail to pull over for an emergency vehicle in my area.

If that’s your fetish, I guess.

Isn’t this what Jesus did?

Eh, I just use neutrals on everyone. I have a hard enough time remembering names and nobody should be offended by they/them.

Kid rock makes music for people who smoke newports through a hole in their neck.

You still can. My dad bought a 2010 F150 for $400 a couple years ago. Sure it used to be a salt truck and therefore had more rust than metal left on its body. Sure it had 4 bald flat tires on it. Sure you have to disconnect the battery every time you park it or it dies. Sure the CD player ocasionally makes grinding noises and starts smelling like smoke every once in a while until you whack the dash hard enough to make it stop. Sure it has no shocks left whatsoever and it feels like you’re driving a trampoline. But who cares about minor things like all that?

Now with SSDs it is but back in the day it took approximately 3 businesses days for my gaming rig to boot up.

It can reset a network adapter but that the only time I’ve seen it do anything useful

So I’m a first responder at my workplace. I’m literally a trained and certified medical professional. I got called for a coworker passing out a while back. I got there and they had the coworker now consious in one of our conference rooms along with the shift manager. The coworker was still feeling woozy so I start going through the assessment process.

This coworker was a young woman, I am a slightly less young man. I 100% get why the shift manager didn’t want to leave me alone with her. At the same time though, I am bound by HIPAA, the shift manager is not. I can’t disclose any medical information she tells me to anyone, the shift manager has no such restriction. So now I’m left trying to figure out how to ask my patient some rather personal medical questions with a lookie lou sitting right there listening to everything she says. That is invasive and uncomfortable when I’m asking about shit like her period (because low iron can be an issue) but becomes especially problematic when one of the questions I need to ask is if they’re using any drugs (I work in a manufacturing plant, it happens). I don’t record that they are if they say yes and I can’t tell anyone (I just monitor for a bit in case of OD and ensure they get a ride home), but nobody is ever going to say yes to that question with their bosses boss sitting right there. Luckily the shift manager eventually got called away for something and I had a brief chance to ask those questions.

Like I said, As a man I 100% get why they don’t want to leave me alone with women. At the same time though in situations like that it makes my job several times harder and is a potential legal disaster for me. It wouldn’t be an issue at all if I was treating a guy. Also it’s even more anoying because I’m fucking asexual. I get that they have no way to know that and people lie. I’m just pissed that situations like this get so complicated because the world is full fucking rapist assholes.
