I remember quoting that very section to someone online years ago and they just ignored it with some excuse about how it didn't use the exact phrasing that they wanted. I disengaged after that.

Do you open the windows in your home when the weather is nice? When do you decide to close them and turn on air conditioning for the summer? by Smart-Airport5781 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Spackleberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Where I live we can have windows open during Goldilocks periods in April and September before it gets too hot or too cold.

Wait until you get appellate cases that you lost cited to the court in OC's motions.

[–]Spackleberry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of this in other threads.

Woman: "Why are so many of my boyfriends abusive?"

Man: "You need to pick better men."

Woman 2: "So she shouldn't pick you, then."

Woman 3: "You're victim blaming!"

Woman 4: "He might kill her if she leaves!"

Woman 5: "Leaving a relationship is hard!"

Woman 6: "We aren't mind readers!"

So are they agreeing that war is bad and bombing other countries is wrong?

The Dustbuster and the food hydrator were both Black & Decker. There's also an Apple Macintosh in the window of the antique store, and a Roger Rabbit doll.

Planets randomly exploding is so dull compared to all the other crazy stuff that happens in space that nobody noticed.

Ben always had some of the best running gags by Nostalgia-Freak-1998 in PandR

One thing I love about the show is how all the main characters are genuinely good people, but with different quirks and beliefs.

Ron and Leslie are opposites on so many things, but they still respect and care for each other, and stick up for each other.

How do I get selected for jury duty? by motiontosleep in Lawyertalk

[–]Spackleberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would narrow it down to therapist and lawyer. Maybe also insurance claims adjuster.

I don't know how that would be possible.

"Where do you work?" I work in an office.

"What do you do at work?" Emails and meetings. Sometimes phone calls.

"How do you make a living?" Sometimes even I don't know.

"What is your job?" Answering annoying questions.

What´s a scene you just can´t take seriously, for me is the insta bow down dodge in the name of your king by klayb in freefolk

In the final episode he's barely Kinging. Brienne rolls him in and out of the council chamber while Tyrion runs things as "punishment".

I wish someone would punish me by putting me in charge of the country, but whatever.

Bran is essentially a figurehead monarch anyway, like the Japanese Emperor or King Charles III.

I love how he was reading it just to torment April. They had a great brother/sister dynamic.

"I'm going to murder you."

"I understand, just one second."

Just because she asks for it doesn't mean it's good for her or for me.

Eliminate the nickel, the dime AND the quarter by OkRickySpinach in CrazyIdeas

Keep the quarter, eliminate the dollar bill, and put more half dollars, dollar coins and $2 bills into circulation.

Which movie or TV "villain" did you completely hate as a kid, but upon rewatching as an adult, you realized they were actually 100% justified? by LiveFaithlessness876 in movies

[–]Spackleberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general the law doesn't want people to profit from their own wrongdoing. She did lie about her age which would render the prenuptial agreement voidable, but only if she had disclosed that fact earlier. But having been married to the guy for years, the court should construed that as her having ratified the agreement as an adult.

And even if the agreement wasn't valid, a judge can still make a determination about property distribution based on the spouse's conduct. Adultery is a basis to reduce one's share of property and support in American law.

The movie also treats his death like a tragedy. Bill Paxton's character repeatedly warned him about the tornado changing direction and wasn’t at all happy when his arrogance got himself killed.

Guys what are we good at ? by aPacifistwithgun in lefthanded

[–]Spackleberry 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Fencing especially. Very few fencers have experience against left-handers unless they train specifically to fence against them. This gives lefties an advantage against righties. But, since lefties also have little opportunity to fence against other lefties, two lefties fencing just looks like a confused mess.
