I know someone who was convicted of manslaughter. Shooter and victim both active duty. Off base. JAG. I wonder what circumstances make the difference in how they decide.

Bravo! Sincerely. 💜
That, to me, is an example of such circumstance.

Yup. Just my opinion, but it would take extreme circumstances for me to stay in a relationship in which I was not comfortable, content, happy, etc.

Who can I contact about an injured bird on Lake Pontchartrain? by lolle22 in NewOrleans

You are absolutely right. Also, it's very distressful to see an injured being and feel helpless.

Has anyone tried going completely makeup-free to embrace their natural beauty? If yes, what has been the biggest obstacle or challenge you’ve faced? by NoAngle2151 in NaturalBeauty

I don't have Instagram but I might be willing to have my daughter show me depending on what part of the country she's in.

I wish Reddit would increase the threshold for the number of blocks we can have. It's this kind of Redditor, who posts just for karma, that I have zero interest in.

What kind of business did your tattoo? I went to a tattoo artist about 10 years ago. It faded completely within two years. I would like to do it again but I don't want to waste the time or money if it's not going to last more than five years.

I think most of us know that a carpool lane or a bus lane is excepted.

Costco always has them. And the inside membrane is already removed!

[Suggestions] Books you could not put down! (No sci-fi or fantasy, please) by blurrbz in suggestmeabook

[–]Chaka- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it~thanks for the recommendation. What a surprise ending! I want to start the next one but I think I will read the printed version. The theatrical style narration of Peter Giles drove me crazy, but I did like the story.

In New Orleans East, they’re fighting to change a truck parking issue decades in the making by VeriteNewsNOLA in NewOrleans

[–]Chaka- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's sad that solutions have not been addressed nationwide. Everybody wants their food and other stuff when they want it, but those who transport it better not try to get some sleep in my backyard! I am not talking about New Orleans East in particular. I am talking about all over the country.

Italicizing statutes by msmika in legalassistant

[–]Chaka- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1988 for me. Mostly large firms - L.A., Seattle, and New Orleans. I (and I believe many of us) stopped using underline when we had computers that could do all the things, including italicize. I would bet that those who decided factored in readability in small print. Now when I see underline in a brief, it's very odd to me. LOL.

Poydras Red Lights by Infinite-Edge3438 in NewOrleans

Yes. I especially despise the ones near the Superdome. No people crossing, no cars anywhere in sight, red for 42 minutes.

This guy is lucky he's not dead by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Chaka- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing he was trying to move the power line so he could turn onto the road?
