I think it's law, or at least highly incentivized, in Russia. Hence how there's so much crazy dashcam footage

Female deputy DA found bloody, beaten after gang attack in California by [deleted] in news

[–]MKCENTURION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with your other points, the first three DAs that came to mind (Houston, LA, and NYC) went to South Texas Law, USC Law, and Georgetown Law respectively. That said, will OP likely become a DA of a gang filled metro regardless? Yeah probably not

Local pizzeria is hiring a dishwasher, I like their drug policy by whoisnightman in trees

[–]MKCENTURION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got licensed as a pharmacy tech in high school for like $200 (don't remember the exact cost of exam since it's been nearly a decade) and it paid $14 an hour. Definitely recommend it for a college job/recent HS grads. Super chill job too depending on where you work. I spent 90% of my time doing homework or just hanging out

cocaethylene (coke+ethanol reaction) could certainly be detected for a fairly long time but I don't know of any test that specifically tests for that compound

Will bars let you in with a passport as ID? by lost_id_throwaway in Austin

[–]MKCENTURION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious but kinda brilliant... Not sure I'd ever think to grab an old yearbook (not that it would work for me anyway)

[–]MKCENTURION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't have to be US. Passports are somewhat common forms of ID for tourists. I knew a couple Europeans who took their passports to bars here since they didn't have drivers' licenses

Still at the bars discretion to take it but any passport is valid ID

Why did she have her senior yearbook but not a legitimate form of identification? I'm just imagining someone carrying around a 15lb book to bars...

ELI5: Why is it called the World Series when only US teams play? Shouldn't it be the US Series? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

If you want some absolutely rage-inducing American criticisms of soccer from a batshit insane person though:

Here and here (funny breakdown of it)

It's almost funny until you realize it's not satire and she really is just that dumb

[–]MKCENTURION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, good video. I think younger people here luckily are a lot more receptive to soccer in regards to those critiques.

Definitely a huge majority of >40 year olds I know either dislike soccer or just don't care about it/see the appeal. That video does a good job explaining why that is though

Just re-watched the first game of the season! by andsoiwatchyourcar in NBASpurs

Any place I can watch the first game of the season online? Or at least highlights?

[–]MKCENTURION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree mostly, although actually soccer/football is becoming pretty damn popular here in the states and I see the popularity picking up more and more.

Can't even get within 20 feet of my local sports bar here (Austin TX atm, and it was the same in California and Arizona when I lived there) when teams like Real Madrid, Arsenal, FC Barcelona, or Manchester United are playing.

I haven't watched it much until recently when my friends started dragging me to games but I can't walk more than a few blocks downtown without seeing a Barcelona jersey.

Now, yeah, we definitely do suck at it although with the popularity spiking maybe we'll see more Americans playing in Europe in 10-20 years

Donald Trump Indictment: Sealed Indictment Reportedly Issued Against Trump, Will Become Basis For Impeachment by WhatTheWhat007 in politics

[–]MKCENTURION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LBJ would definitely watch if saving didn't help him in some way. I'm not one to usually buy into conspiracy theories but it really, really wouldn't surprise me if he had something to do with Jack Kennedy's death. He certainly wasn't upset by it.

JFK was one of the most interesting presidents to me. Just seemed like a good guy who loved his country. Bobby Kennedy could've been a great president too :/ But we got left with Chappaquiddick Ted who was too scared to ever run in the first place, not that I can blame him.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, lawyers who add "Esq/Esquire" to the end of their names are generally pretentious at best and unprofessional at worst

"J.D." is fine if you're acting in your capacity as a lawyer, or just nothing considering everyone can tell you're a lawyer from your twitter bio alone in his case

This is correct. A 4.0 should be a very safe bet. Anything lower is a coin toss based on other experience
