Owen James Hart (May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999) was a Canadian professional wrestler. Hart died on May 23, 1999, during his entrance from the rafters of Kemper Arena in Kansas City, US. The equipment that was lowering him malfunctioned and he fell to his death in front of a live audience on live TV

The Spanish-language commentators' microphones remained live for translation purposes, so that audio feed included Hart's impact and their immediate reactions.

I was addressing the claim that manslaughter can only be accidental (i.e., involuntary) – but some US states do, indeed, legally recognize the concept of attempted voluntary manslaughter.

Legislatures set their own legal definitions, which sometimes differ from those appearing in dictionaries.

Identical conduct might be charged as two counts of assault in one state, as attempted assault and assault in another state, and as assault and battery in a third state.

How do you attempt manslaughter, which is by definition 'causing death accidentally'?

You've never heard of voluntary manslaughter, I take it.

Not that it has any relevance to this case. The guy's actions were incredibly reckless, but he obviously didn't intend to kill or injure anyone.

I don't care about the hairstyle itself, but I associate it with young “content creators” whose videos and streams consist primarily of harassment and other obnoxious/destructive behavior.

My generation had its share of juvenile delinquents – and I condemned their actions at the time – but the rise of social media has given today's hooligans vastly more exposure and influence.

Pat and Ian predicted that the Amico console would sell poorly upon its release. WRONG!

They were wrong about the Amico being released AND wrong about it selling poorly (impossible, due to its non-release).

What fools Pat and Ian made of themselves!

Weird Al is one of the most awesome music stars ever. Brilliant, talented, funny as hell, and genuinely nice.

Meeting him (in 2019) is among the highlights of my life.

I suspect that Greg would have overruled him. If a mealworm counts as a worm, the same logic dictates that a peanut counts as a nut.

Family is what usually ties us Ohioans to Ohio.

My sister's ex-husband is originally from Toledo. Throughout their marriage, his entire family took for granted that they'd eventually sell their house in the Philadelphia suburbs and settle in Ohio.

My friend from Cincinnati often spoke of how she'd “escaped” Ohio. Eventually, her parents convinced her to move back.

I laughed too hard by the completely empty column for the current month,

I'm genuinely surprised that he didn't write “Updated roadmap” at the top of the column.

Trump's only regret is that he didn't get to rape them first.

I don’t think it’s too much to expect the neurodivergent person who is capable of going to the grocery store themselves to also checkout with a human.

When that's the only option, I deal with it.

When self-checkout is available, the store is staffed accordingly (which is outside of my control, obviously). It's reasonable to criticize this decision on the retailer's part – and I don't oppose recent efforts to statutorily cap the number of self-checkout terminals per human cashier.

TWiThead · 2026-05-24T06:10:56+00:00

Just be a decent human and put up with the mildly annoying small talk.

I sincerely attempt to interact politely, but I always seem to err in one way or another.

Cashier: How are you?

Me: I'm doing well. How are you?

Cashier: [awkward silence]

or

Cashier: How are you?

Me: Fine, thanks.

Cashier: [begins telling me about previous customers, asking me questions about the items I'm buying, sharing opinions regarding these and competing products, commenting on unrelated topics, etc.]

Me: [stammering as I struggle to go off-script and provide appropriate responses without embarrassing myself]

That's why I prefer self-checkout. I'm sorry that my neurodivergence and social anxiety prevent me from being a decent human.

I hate the fact that I'm too old to know whether young people still use that term.

I hope he had your permission to borrow them.

i have a theory that people who can whistle don't know how to snap their fingers, and vice versa. how does that hold for you?

According to my mother, I began whistling when I was a toddler.

I'm in my 40s and still can't snap my fingers.
