Friend tells me that coworker tells him to hold the bowl, and immediately, then and there, with steering wheel between his legs, he brings a baggie of coke up to his nostril and inhales. Then they went back to work like nothing happened. When I was 18 or 19 an ex boyfriend of mine drove us to a church for a needle exchange program, shot up heroin in the car while driving and then started nodding off while I had to take the wheel

That whole episode was a big  from start to finish. One of my favs.

Was it in this thread that I read about a dude who shot himself in the head and his wife found him in the kitchen eating serial because his brain just set itself on daily routine autopilot?

Probably, though if we're thinking of the same person (which we probably are) I think he ended up surviving because he did the whole "gun barrel to the temple" thing rather than gun in mouth.

Have some penetrating brain injuries. https://neurophilosophy.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/unusual_penetrating_brain_injuries/ quote:A 44 year old man was referred to the accident and emergency department by the psychiatric services, having claimed to have hammered several nails through his skull over a three month period. The patient had a long history of depression, personality disorder, and previous deliberate self-harm. He had remained well throughout this period and had been cleaning the wounds with weak antiseptic on a regular basis. He had concealed the injuries by wearing a hat. Two days prior to admission he had inserted a much larger 12.7 cm (5 inch) masonry nail and had developed left sided weakness and unsteadiness of gait.

Legendary Drag Queen Dorian Corey had a mummified 10+ year old corpse in their closet but it's not clear who had murdered the man.

Corll counts because he was killed by his potential victim/accomplice before he could be arrested and charged. It would have been fascinating to hear what that pile of poo poo had to say. It's best that he's dead though.

Herb Baumeister might count? He committed suicide before being arraigned, and discoveries continued after his death. If his name doesn't ring a bell, Fox Hollow Farm or the I-70 murders (of which he was suspected) might. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Baumeister Having a hard time finding good articles about it... although it's interesting looking at uploads of ones written just previous to his suicide. Here's one I found that's from 2017. https://www.thoughtco.com/herbert-richard-baumeister-973121

That's a-spicy teacake - Leonarda Cianciulli, who killed three women and, uh...recycled their bodies.quote:The first of Cianciulli's victims, Faustina Setti, was a lifelong spinster who had come to her for help in finding a husband. Cianciulli offered her a glass of drugged wine, then killed her with an axe and dragged the body into a closet. There she cut it into nine parts, gathering the blood into a basin.

Ugh. Vile. I think the whole country has known something was up with Hollywood for a long time - look at movies like Starry Eyes, for example - but now that it's all coming out, it feels like it's so much worse than we thought. Those pedophile party stories are probably true, Christ. I'm glad all this poo poo is being aired, and I hope all the abusers get exposed, squeezed out, and brought to justice.

Terrible Opinions posted:America being "over-litigious" is propaganda spread by corporations to try to shame people out of suing them for legitimate reasons. Most examples you hear about frivolous lawsuits in America are actually about a company doing something that could straight up kill someone and being rightfully sued for it. Like the McDonalds coffee thing was coffee so hot that if the woman had drank it instead of spilling it, the coffee would have caused severe internal damage. the McDonald's coffee thing pisses me off so much. IT WAS SO HOT IT MELTED HER LABIA. It's not frivolous to expect the coffee to NOT MELT YOUR PRIVATES THROUGH YOUR PANTS

pookel posted:Isn't the issue just that other countries handle this sort of thing with government action against the company, rather than forcing victims to turn to lawsuits as their only avenue of redress? That and decent healthcare and insurance. Anecdote =/= data, but my mum works with a lot of Americans, and earlier this year my brother tripped and fell through a glass tram stop, resulting in some giant nasty cuts and bruising to his face, chest and hand. When my mum told the Americans she was working with, without fail the first question they asked (after if he was okay) was if we were going to sue. They were shocked when we said no, but less so after we explained that we also didn't have to pay a cent for the ambulance ride and hospital treatment. That said, a few of my law lecturers were American or practiced there, and all of them have commented that America is more litigious than Australia, so take that as you will.

Looking it up, the US is more litigious than most countries (at least skimming one article suggested we have the highest number of lawyers per capita, but not the highest number of lawsuits), but that fact is also trumped up by corporations looking to discourage lawsuits. It's also possible that the way the US handles certain situations, such as class-action lawsuits, and the way legal services are advertised, may contribute to distorted perceptions about American litigiousness. An...amusingly aggressive write-up elsewhere also suggested that the US has the highest yearly tort payouts relative to GDP, at a whopping 2% or so, but even if that's accurate it's hard to say if that describes a country that is over-litigious, since the US has such an extreme wealth gap and a lot of comforts and protections present in other countries are relatively lacking in the US (such as universal healthcare and stringent safety regulations). It makes sense that at the very least payouts for health and safety violations are going to be higher on average in a country with weirdly distorted healthcare costs like the US has.
