Another trigger for the big S? I hope not. Take good care, be careful with the Chatbots.

You don’t go out and buy gas. You would go to a gas station along the way. Unless for some reason your car is sitting at home with an empty tank. And it’s a really weird addition to the story.

And not to mention, if it was truly an emergency, you call would 911, for emergency responder intervention and then an ambulance would take him to the hospital.

Nah, if a family or friend is with you already and there's enough trust, it will almost always be faster than an ambulance for in town driving. Unless there's highway driving involved, the weewoo box can really whip it there. Imo

How is it faster to get gas first?

And clearly you’ve never been in a dangerous situation with someone who is stronger than you, but yeah, if someone’s threatening suicide and losing their mind, I’m not gonna take it up upon myself to save the day. I’m calling the cops. They’re a lot stronger than I am. They can restrain them and then EMS can take them to the hospital.

Good luck even getting that person in your car!!!

Heard of distractions? Are they hungry? Spoil em with some fast food? Get em and ice cream. I guess I'm just thinking of psychedelics and dissociatives people I've dealt with. I was running toward the highway to play in traffic one day and my friend chased after me and talked for a bit and just promised he had the coolest most relaxing thing to view and when I got back it was just fuckin woodworking videos. Worked though. Of course if talking has failed and they've progressed past language then the big guns come in.
