The fee for an emergency helicopter evac in NSW is about $5,700 but in Victoria it's almost $10,000. If they have to transport you via road to get to the copter that costs extra and could be as much as $2,000.

Aww, how cute, only 5,700? Here in the land of the free, if they have to bring out the chopper, you best be ready to shell out the equivalent of a new car. And, to make things better, most times your insurance won't cover it! Yay. It's one of the only things I fear when going snowboarding. It's also the reason I stay the gently caress away from the trees and the big jumps.

He makes all sorts of videos about people getting mad at him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIkAgu5rRZM

I remember seeing a video of a while back of some pubbie challenging him on a pub server with both of them playing soldier on 2fort or something, and him absolutely murdering the guy. Not sure if that's the same person or not though.

So, I could never be a successful tattoo artist because I lack all kinds of artistic talent... But I like to think that the other reason I could never be a successful tattoo artist is that I'd feel a moral obligation to NOT tattoo stupid poo poo like this on people's loving faces, thereby losing a lot of potential income.

Yeah I lack talent just like you do but if I had the talent I would absolutely love getting paid to be a part of people I don't know making terrible life decisions.

An additional point of schadenfreude is that Eve Ensler (militant feminist man hater) mentioned her in this video I believe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHLgTUV0XWI probably :nws:. Be warned if you watch, she mentions rape and other forms of sexual assault in some detail.

Anyway, she's going on and on about how women can do what they want now and how this brave girl just decided that she needed to get 56 stars tattooed on her face and that's great because it's her body and men blah blah. The part she neglects to mention is the rest of the story, you know, the important bit about lying and trying to sue some guy for doing his job.

She didn't even use the girls name so unless you're really paying attention and knew about this story when it happened then it just seems like a good-ish point in context.

Maybe the real schadenfreude is Eve herself.

Ya, but why do they wait to puke until they come back inside. I can let my cat out in the back yard (supervised) for 10 minutes or 10 hours, the fucker will wait until he's inside to puke.

Our cats always did it outside, and one even had the sense to do it into the drain so that it'd just wash away on it's own.

But that was with my parents, where the cats were always outdoor to the point where they spent more time outdoors than indoors.

Some classic schadenfreude: one of my all-time favorite TV comedies, To Catch a Predator.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7RPXEeZYoE

I know it's exploitative and borderline entrapment, and they had to cancel the segment when one of the potential predators killed himself, but goddamn if I don't laugh my rear end off at the misfortune of these folks. It's like the ultimate hidden camera prank show, except at the reveal you get arrested.

If laughing at To Catch a Predator is wrong, I don't think I want to be right.

He tried to move on to "to catch a scammer" and flew to nigeria to yell at people and it did not take off. We want to see idiot nerd perverts get tackled by the police and feebly try to stab themselves in the throat with their chained-to-the-desk confession pen. Watching poor people get yelled at for trying to survive wasn't as fun.

No shame. There is something really satisfying about seeing these awful people get what was coming to them. That look on their face when they know their hosed is magical. It's almost a shame they don't keep doing this on TV, but I'm pretty sure Perverted Justice is still going strong, and their site is a good substitute.

I think my favorite appearance of all time (and I have seen all of them) is with the naked white guy (horrifying that I have to specify, as there has been more than one naked dude) and Chris just stands there silently for a moment with his arms folded, pondering what his life has become.

I've seen the other sting operations Dateline has done; the lotto scammers, the Nigerian prince email scams, ticket scams, life insurance scams, etc, and they don't come close to recapturing the magic of To Catch a Predator. Lightening in a bottle.

At one of my past call center jobs, during a call I could hear this persistent 'koh-ki' sound in the background. It was loud enough that it made the caller hard to hear at times and when we were waiting for his computer to boot back up, I asked what was that sound in the background. Turns out it's some type of frog, and as loud as it was, the guy had his windows already closed to mute it as best he could. If I was in that situation, I'd do whatever I could to move somewhere else.
That's the fuckin' Coqui Frog. They're nearly impossible to kill off because they're small as gently caress (they're barely larger than an American quarter iirc) and only come out in the dead of night. It costs local counties millions of dollars every year trying to keep their populations manageable for the locals. It was introduced to the US by cruise ships stopping in infested countries and coming into port with far-too-lax declaration policies because heaven forbid we fall into poor graces with the the luxury cruise industry, cornerstone of the international economy.

When someone does this what is it that makes a real vet perk up and say "something isn't right here" first? Is it just an absolutely absurd amount of decoration or is it body language or do they just comb over every uniform with a fine toothed comb hoping to catch a faker and yell at them?

One of the key factors is that the uniforms themselves have some inaccuracies that are obvious to them and that people often wear medals that are either from a different army of the military or a different country all together.

Sargent major is the highest enlisted rank, someone that young wearing those stripes is surprising, seems like they were chatting with him beforehand and started filming when his story wasn't fitting. If he was dressed up as Specialist Pencilpusher with a couple 'you're adequate' ribbons I doubt anyone would have batted an eye.
