  • Since you have a list going, add jury service to it. Even after women were allowed to be summoned, lawyers would strike them for cause on the grounds that they were too temperamental or could not focus enough. And then after that wasn't allowed, lawyers would strike them all with peremptory challenges, until finally in like 1980 or something the Supreme Court had to step in and say "if you start striking women and it seems like you're just striking women, the judge should ask you why, and if you can't give reasons, your challenges will be denied."

    A lot of people like to shit on jury service, likes it's no big deal, but I think it's one of two or three of the most patriotic and freedom loving things people can do for their country, up there with joining the service and voting. Like anyone that wants to talk to me at all using words like liberty or justice, better turn up when it's time to talk about jury service, or else they expose themselves as full of shit.

    Sometimes it wasn't that grandma couldn't have a bank account and suffered financial dependence, it was that even if she needed a jury to sort through some bullshit, men could make sure it was men that judged her conduct.

    A prosecutor once told me that the worst juror to have when trying to convict a rapist is a woman whose never been raped, because to convict they must first admit the fact it could happen to them; that's a hard fact to force on soneone. With that same logic, think of how men might judge a woman who leaves or defends herself from an abusive husband, or takes her kids somewhere safe, etc.

  • Oh I don't follow anime.

  • Honestly if you can't go shoplift a copy tomorrow and find five things you like about it, you're a hack and miserable prick.

  • Same for me. Getting a law degree.

    Read tens of thousands of pages. Hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of cases, law review articles.

    Story after story of police and corporate America fucking poor people.

    In 2024 there are still companies arguing that asbestos is safe. Anything less than chattel slavery with strict runaway slave laws is insufficient for these psychos.

  • Guaranteed he's lying in some massive and significant way. Tricking on his dumbass supporters.

  • Haha. He really do be like that.

  • Never going to happen.

  • Respondeat superior.

  • Some things they do well. Some things not so well. Doesn't have to be one or the other.

  • Burgers come from Hamburg, Germany, hot dogs come from Frankfurt, Germany, macaroni and cheese come from Rome, Italy.

  • I'm pretty sure it's like this for every cousine.

    The bottom line is that restaurants have to have a theme, right, how else would anyone even talk about it? And the theme is usually some region of the world with varying specificity, my favorite is "fusion," where the restaurant has two, or even three themes. When you go to a place with any theme, it's always a charicature. In the case of restaurants, I've found that the food rarely represents the daily cuisine of the regular people of whatever place or tradition, it's rather the cuisine of a restauranteur trying to run a business.

    It's a few choice special dinner dishes, like Sunday or holiday meals, and a few chubby-kid approved favorites, and it seems just as often it's stereoptyical dishes that may not even be from the place/culture, such as General Tso's Chicken, that came from one Hunanese resteraunt in New York in 1972, and is now in the menu if every Chinese restaurant in America. And American restaurants abroad serve franks and hamburgers, despite the origins of both being in Frankfurt and Hamburg, Germany. In sum, there are no rules and everything is made up. You can get New Haven style pizza in Rome.

  • Why couldn't they just drink the bleach?

  • Is this some weird anti abortion grooming or something?

  • Just on the their license plates. Doesn't mean anything.

  • They were taken on different days.

  • They have over 200 photos already. I think the smiling photos are on a different day.

  • I have no idea about anything at all, but part of me wants to see this be the result of some predictable, stupid mistake, like a unit conversion error or something, and another part of me wants it to be something totally unpredictable, like some unique gravitational anomaly or some latent radiation of some kind, like, something with muons.

  • Not because of this.

    I agree. Accountability should be through civil liability. But they have the lobbyists.

  • That data would be inadmissible in the murder trial. Lethal force is only privileged in response to an imminent lethal threat that the privileged act is the only way to avoid. The shooter's life was not in immediate danger and killing the CEO isn't likely to change the policies. You'd have to make your decision in the jury box without it.

    I agree if caught he should be prosecuted. I'd be real conflicted about it but I could convict. He either did it or didn't.
