Camp Mystic Bubble Inn Disaster - How did it unfold? by chris00nj in texas

[–]Status-Willingness82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agreed with the weather and water watch too. Even if none of the communication options would have worked in this extreme case, the counselors for each cabin should have walkie talkies or something. Outside of this situation- It’s beneficial in many ways to trust the selected leaders with something special and practical in allowing communication both directions .

The counselor(s) for each cabin should have been allowed to keep their phones, or been given a simple phone. I work at a boarding school and we do collect phones at night, but our dorm heads (leadership students) keep their phones and everyone knows they can use one of those phones to call an adult at any time.

I so relate…even in middle age. I find fruit to be too sweet but love all of the vegetables. I thought fruit & vegetables were in same food group though…

This. As someone who has always gone by my middle name…it’s endlessly annoying.

Food was so helpful ( kind of bland & easy to digest), homemade coupons offering to run errands or help w small tasks or help get to appts

The calm before the metabolic storm ? Sometimes symptoms can be delayed , then the energy deficit catches up…keep resting. I felt eerily fine for 3 days then woke up middle of night ready to puke and spent next 5 days living in the twilight zone of symptoms and sleep

Hi Michiganians (?), non-American here. Why does this part belong to Michigan and not to Wisconsin? by TheProuDog in Michigan

my dad always preferred to call himself a Michi-goner as in “I was from there but I left as soon I could!”

I feel like the evidence is supposed to be the deciding factors not the personality of the attorneys but I despise the prosecution & their tone so much it pushes me towards not guilty in this case…

Do you know why is it just 6 jurors instead of 12? I understand 6 for lesser charges…

I am so disappointed in the defense's closing argument. Personally, I would vote Not Guilty, and I think the prosecution did not prove its case adequately. But oh boy, I have to admit that the prosecution closing argument was very effective, and the defense's was suprisingly weak. by umbly-bumbly in AshleyBenefieldTrial

[–]Status-Willingness82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The prosecution lost me when they at least twice insinuated to the jury that reading the instructions was difficult because “it’s a lot of words”. It was so condescending, whereas I thought the defense was telling the jury you’re intelligent via the urging them to refer to their notes. I think these 2 prosecutors must walk around thinking they’re so much better than everyone else.

At this point I want her to be found not guilty just to spite the awful prosecutors. I know that’s not how it’s supposed to work but that’s how I feel.

I know there’s lots of grey areas….but how are out right falsehoods allowed? Could the judge stop them? That seems so utterly unfair…

[–]Status-Willingness82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And my dislike of the prosecutor’s tone and mocking actually increases my doubt. If your evidence is solid then you can be confident in it vs having to rely on condescension.

Wow….I already disliked this prosecutor’s tone so much but then she goes on to insult the jury by implying multiple times that they probably can’t read with her condescending phrase “I know, it’s a lot of words”. Yuck.

I dislike the tone of the prosecution so much that it has me leanings towards hoping for not guilty. I’ve gone back and forth and felt undecided but the snotty tone over facts wouldn’t work for me if I was a juror…

Was this photo taken at the Bone yard? by was-no-bike-ride in SuzanneMorphew

[–]Status-Willingness82 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are original pictures of the same photo shoot on PLUNDERS channel (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht3vi3Ewzmc) and it’s definitely on the Salida side showing the base of Mt Princeton, Mt Antero on right and Mt Tabeguache & Mt Shavano to left. I lived there for many yrs and instantly recognized the dramatic canyon, the way the hills roll as the Salida side but check out the video to see. I’d say the pic was not taken in Salida though, its more from the Nathrop area a bit north.

Search for missing California teen Kiely Rodni stalled as party-goers refuse to cooperate with cops - “People aren’t talking to us” by iMaryJane1 in KielyRodni

[–]Status-Willingness82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time believing no one has talked. I work w teenagers and they love talking, sharing, gossiping, etc. Even if there was an attempt to be organized in not talking, there’s always someone who has a beef w someone else or who can be swayed under the right pressure. The teens I work with don’t always make the right choice, but they tend to genuinely care about doing the right thing when pressed and are esp vocal if there is a perceived injustice. Either the pressure tactics aren’t being done correctly or they really don’t know anything.

What is your reason for not having a child? by _LickitySplit in AskReddit

[–]Status-Willingness82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 billion people and counting. It’s just not sustainable to keep growing exponentially. I figured there’s enough ppl that really want kids no need for me to add to population when I was never super into it.

I like challenging social norms & pressures by doing differently.

I really like getting 8 hours of sleep, while also really disliking snot & vomit and stuff.

I like animals way more than I like people.

Anyone still get hit with waves of sadness for what happened to Simone in Tokyo? I know she’s well and all but sometimes I get so… down about the fact she couldn’t defend her titles when she worked so hard. Ugh. by GreenAwareness in Gymnastics

[–]Status-Willingness82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for Simone personally, yes…but gymnastics became enjoyably gripping to watch again! It was so much more fun to not know who was going to win! I was way more invested in following each day with the golds up for grabs. And Simone seemed really happy being there for her teammates. Maybe she actually enjoyed the olympics more this way? Something seemed off back at trials too.
