[20:53:54] Frogorg/rizon holy fuck I nearly died

[20:54:03] Frogorg/rizon ok that's an exaggeration but still

[20:54:08] Frogorg/rizon it was near miss

[20:55:41] Frogorg/rizon my Uber driver was going on a 2x2 road (+ merge lane) 70 km/h. he sees a car on a merge lane with a yield sign. he switches lane from right to left to make room, and suddenly the other car swerves from far right lane to far left (the one we're at) and breaks

[20:55:58] Frogorg/rizon dude hit the brakes, icy road, I was like "oh well, we're going to ER now"

[20:56:08] Frogorg/rizon he stopped 10 cm from the other car

[20:56:24] Frogorg/rizon dude even started covering his face

[20:56:28] Frogorg/rizon yes, it's cheaper, and it's better

[20:59:05] Frogorg/rizon he had a license, but had he not had a license we would still have had a near miss

[21:07:02] Frogorg/rizon that reminds me of a quote from actual court ruling in Poland "The fact of the victim not having a driver's license is immaterial to the case, as the collision, as proven earlier, was caused solely by the defendent. The collision would have happened independently on whether the victim had drivers license, had no drivers license, or had a permit to pilot all known mobiles known

[21:07:03] Frogorg/rizon to mankind including airplanes and submarines"

[21:08:04] Frogorg/rizon I still prefer the same judge's "Let us remind that the defendent had prepared to the court proceedings so dilligently that he had arrived drunk"

[21:10:27] Frogorg/rizon Rudolph: true, this was from an appeal case where said defendant argued that his right to defense was violated because he was, because of it, held in contempt of court, ejected from the courtroom, and the witness testimonies continued without him

[21:10:41] Frogorg/rizon PapaElf: good luck you'll be buff soon

[21:28:26] Frogorg/rizon Herr h4, Ich spreche Deutsch, aber nicht gern

[21:29:53] Frogorg/rizon Ich lerne doch

[21:31:15] Frogorg/rizon das ist OK, Polnisch ist ein Kauderwelschsprach

[21:33:10] Frogorg/rizon though you could understand a lot of things, such as "Anthem of Krakow's Waterworks"

[21:33:36] Frogorg/rizon I don't know how to translate "In the beginning there was water, tender H2O" to convey same level of pathos

[21:33:58] Frogorg/rizon though I guess the situation is more amusing than the wording itself

[21:34:45] Frogorg/rizon there you go

[21:36:35] Frogorg/rizon the context is: Krakow Waterworks was celebrating 120 years of existence and they've spent around 10k EUR of public money on a full-blown mass in church transmitted live, featuring a poet and actress singing a very tender and pompous song about the water

[21:37:47] Frogorg/rizon I've tested, ChatGPT 3 didn't do better, but it did so much cheaper

[21:52:43] Frogorg/rizon based
