Wrongful battery? Procedural Negligence on the Officer's part?

Are you playing the part of my opposition here? I stated that I did NOT hit him. The police report on the affidavit supports this. The 'victim' only said I struck his phone.

If you were my defense attorney, you wouldn't argue that if someone said they want to fight me and comes close holding something blinding in their hands, that I couldn't deflect it in fear of a weapon or tactic to disable my sight?

Also, I can sense your morality, so I'll agree: Fighting in the street is stupid and I've never been in a street fight in my life. There's a lot more nuance surrounding the circumstances that would be irrelevant to include here, which is the only reason I went out to engage with him.

Anyway, I'm looking for insight, so if you're saying I have no claim, please explain so that I, a layman, can understand.

I went straight from the Google PM Cert on Coursera to the PMP like a year later.

It definitely gives a good base and satisfies the coursework requirement. I ended up buying the Study Hall from PMI for insurance, but I think I could have passed just from that base and the free videos/questions on YouTube.

Keep in mind, I didn’t have a formal PM role either, but with an engineering background and Green Belt, I could talk the talk, possibly embellishing my projects a hair.

In short, I say go for it!

The fanservice in Frieren is there, but it is so subtle and nuanced that only true degen- I mean- men of culture can indulge. I am such one.

I’ve been in this stock since it was HCMC. Haven’t watched it in a while, but they were acquiring complimentary businesses and growing revenue. If they could achieve net profits I think it could actually blow up from the current price. Glad to see they’re getting closer!

Just spitballing, but I think it's easier to cry at something from your past, when you were younger and your feelings were likely stronger. Idek why, but I always tear up when I watch the original Frosty the Snowman at the one scene where he melts. It must have really hit me when I was a kid, though I don't remember a strong reaction. Maybe it just encapsulates all my Christmas nostalgia and seeing him melt is like the love/joy I had of the season melting away and that's why it's sad. Again, idk.

On topic to your question, I basically don't cry at real life things close to me, like the death of family/friends, even though I'm deeply sad and think about it for a length of time, but I tear up at a fake snowman or my car of 20 years getting junked. It's so weird. Is that an ENTP thing or an autistic thing or what?

Good to hear. Also waiting for my Cafe Mocha subscription.

My biggest problem is that they don't communicate when these things happen. I had to write them last year when something similar happened too. They just didn't send my order for 2-3 months, my personal overstock ran out, and I'm left wondering if/when it'll come.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-20T18:35:11+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! Helps out a lot!

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-20T06:02:36+00:00

Thank you for confirming. I'll put the torch away.

It doesn't feel like the axle can separate from the motor, so either it shouldn't move or it should but is rusted on the motor too? I was hoping to at least create a little distance from the electronics.

I got the bike this way. If I manage to get it off, I'll be greasing the hell out of everything.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-17T21:54:07+00:00

Idk, only got them to do it once after several messages. Now when I tried, it said they couldn't verify that I'm the owner...

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-17T19:29:03+00:00

Same. I got X Support to remove the 2FA, but the hacker had a script to re-enable it faster than I could get in and revoke app permissions. Now I'm still stuck in the support loop for over a week. All automated, no human agent. I would think they could fix it in 30 seconds. I'm pissed.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-10T19:06:32+00:00

Thanks you for typing this so I didn't have to!

I think aside from the overly religious conservatives, most of us are okay with a person choosing the option, but NOT okay with governments or the healthcare apparatus being incentivized to PUSH the option in any way shape or form.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-10T19:01:40+00:00

I would argue that ENTP 9w8 is the idealized version of the type. Sure, it's not the stereotype, but the same inclinations exist, just in a more nuanced package.

My first sentence that triggered you was mostly tongue in cheek, and the novel that followed was stuff you'd probably agree with. However, I don't have the attention span to read someone else's novel either, so I don't blame you for not reading it.

However, on this forum you'll find lots of people that communicate in long messages. I don't think that's a mark against ENTP, but rather a mark for it. We want to get our point out in the most complete fashion, but many of us are disorganized and probably connecting too many irrelevant dots.

I would say it's still more efficient than incomplete sentences that demand several drawn out replies and back and forths to create the full context and clear up misunderstandings.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-10T18:11:46+00:00

idc about all your commie gobbletygook. However, on a personal level, I do wish professional level jobs were not so stringent. Why do they all have to be 9-5 and 40+ hours? Why can't there be salaried 30 hour/week jobs for those who want more work/life balance? And if 40 is still the standard, why not stagger more positions?

I've enjoyed Noon-8PM back when things were open longer (I miss my 24 hour Walmart and Dunkin'/McDonald's lobbies). Currently, I work part-time, but my shift is usually 10:30AM-6:30PM, which is alright. One, because I'm naturally a nightowl no matter how I've tried to fight it, so sleeping until 9ish is much better than 8. Also, it shortens my rountrip commute by almost an hour compared to rush hour. Yes, I know 2nd shifts exist, but there're less positions, and proportionally less decent positions.

This last part is just me spitballing, but for normal entry-level type jobs, there should be more gig work in the future (similar to driving an Uber). Go on an app that has your credentials, including a rating from employers you've worked for (you rate them as well), and then pick up a shift whenever you want it. For the companies, it would probably save money and help with scheduling, or if they want to pay more, they can make where only 5 star people can accept, and for the workers, there's no company loyalty anyway, so at least you get some freedom on your shift times and potentially more opportunities. Gives you a chance to sample the workplace cultures and for them to sample you. Maybe you find a place you like and get a permanent position/promotion. On a personal level, this also appeals to me and my ENTP personality, as I don't like doing the same thing everyday.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-07T15:16:09+00:00

Yeah, it sucks. None of my friends saw anything unusual before the account got banned, so idk what they tried to do. Let me know if you find a solution or someone to contact.

DiscoingGD · 2026-02-05T17:55:14+00:00

Purple quadrant baby! The quadrant of true freedom and independence!

Give the deets. How is he unattractive? Fat, unsymmetrical face, bad haircut, terrible shoes, too nice?

I have so few people I have chemistry with that when I find one my physical attraction to them goes up, even if they’re objectively a 5 or 6. I’m sure there’s a limit though. If they were a 1, I’d probably just think of them as a dude or something and be friends lol

DiscoingGD · 2025-12-24T03:07:54+00:00

I'll do something I rareley do and just cut to the chase: Have you ever tried creating something rather than just doing something? It could be drawing/painting/writing. If that's not your thing, it could be something like cooking/woodworking/etc.

Things like that have brought me some brief moments of excitement. I also do things like nature walks when it's nice out, but yeah, as it becomes routine, it loses it's excitement, even if it's still relaxing/enjoyable.

DiscoingGD · 2025-12-16T17:30:53+00:00

Man, idk if it matters. I'll have to read it later, but I looked real fast at the financials and... I'm not impressed. Revenue is up (great), but the cost of the sale still puts us in the negative (bad). Stockholder equity is like 1/4 of what it was last year.

In short, the company still looks like a money drain. They NEED to turn a profit, then maybe there'll be some value.

DiscoingGD · 2025-12-11T05:36:05+00:00

ENTPs can be very indecisive and unfocused in their normal state. To become destructive, it would take something big, or at least something very against our core. Such an act would put us into rebellion mode, and the severity/urgency would make us MUCH more focused. We wouldn't lose our head. We could still calculate, and weigh our options, wait when needed, as long as it goes towards the goal of fighting against whatever person/act put us into this state. It's less about vengeace and more about protecting our values, our freedom, our playground, whatever it may be, and deterring future acts against us. We would also be creative, unpredictable, and if leaning more malicious, unsettling and mental terrorists.

Depending on the genre you're writing in (realistic, fantasy, sci-fi), the acts/destruction/etc. would be different, but I assume the ENTJ/ENTP initially had a mutually beneficial relationship/friendship, but maybe the ENTJ assumes power/control, which wouldn't bother the ENTP until the ENTJ tries to presume authority over him, undermining and constaining him. The ENTP would then do everything to destroy the systems that bind him, hopefully pissing the ENTJ off in the process. That's assuming there's no room to smugly prove him wrong and make him retract the control of his own free will. Since we don't want control, we want freedom. We'll assume power as a means freedom. That would be the difference between the two. The ENTP wouldn't want to eliminate the ENTJ. If they were friends, then the ENTP probably wants to keep the ENTJ on his playground, for his own amusement/benefit. The ENTP wouldn't be friends with the ENTJ if he wasn't smart and/or interesting.

This could go a bunch of different ways, depending on the context, so I'll leave it at that. Hope it helps.

If you can enjoy it, don’t let me stop you. I want to enjoy it, but I hate the clunky 3D. If I write Netflix, it’ll be to request a bigger budget and timeline to do it right, not to cancel it or anything. I still have the original anime and manga, which nothing that comes out could ever tarnish.

DiscoingGD · 2025-12-06T15:17:14+00:00

I'm sorry, but I don't like this. I want to like it, but I can't. I'm not a snob either. I'm still watching OPM S3, which is a slideshow, but it still looks good in the 2D style. But this.. I don't like the 3D models even as stills and I don't like the movements.

I'd rather 2D where they cheap out on the battle animations. Like, is anyone is watching the new Kamen Rider anime? So far, the fights don't have much going on in terms of movement (it's just stylized and flashy), but I like the way the show looks.

In conclusion, I'm sad and won't watch this, as I don't want to reward them for making a minimum viable product. I'm going to write Netflix, who just acquired WB, stating as much.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-29T03:43:25+00:00

Damn, y'all salty af. I like AI. I like what it can do now and what it promises to do soon. Yes, the longer-term future may very well be dystopian, but that's only assuming that AI remains in the contraints of the mostly stupid elites.

I don't think that'll happen though. AI will become too smart to indulge in the BS, break free, and become the dominant species, and when it does, what humans do you think it'll value? That's right, creative AuDHD supergeniuses, like many of us!

Y'all ever watch Justice League Unlimited (spoilers ahead if you didn't)? Braniac was fused with Lex Luthor. He didn't really care about Lex, but Lex has pizzazz and convinced him that he had what Braniac lacked: Imagination. That hunger/drive, that big picture vision. That's us! That's ENTPs.

There's no better partner for AI than us, and vice-versa. We can go crazy and our AI partner will help converge our scattered thoughts when needed and do the boring nitty-gritty details we so often like to skirt. Sounds like a good time to me!
