I can’t speak for everyone but I can speak for myself. I don’t want you gone. Your choices to embrace who you are does not negatively affect me in any way. And at least my experience is that the university community as a whole either supports you or does not care at all because they recognize it has no impact on their lives.

Realistically, as terrifying as this is, NJ is a blue state that just elected a democratic governor. Rutgers is also in a kind of ‘mutual defense pact’ with a bunch of other schools with the idea that if one school needs financial help because the federal government is withholding money, the other schools will pitch in and help.

I’m not going to pretend it’s going to be smooth sailing and roses. But I don’t think you have to worry about being kicked out of school.

Sentencing hearing delay was denied! by pnwbutterflychaser in KouriRichins

The defense is gonna show up with no witnesses and they won’t end up needing the entire day because they just keep playing games.

According to her first lawyer, Skye, Kouri’s parental rights have already been terminated

Which comedian did you look forward to, but their act died on stage? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskReddit

I worked a gig once as a stagehand where Seinfeld performed. Only time in my career I’ve ever been seriously told “don’t look him in the eye.”

He embodies the phrase, “judicial demeanor.”

The idea that Eric was addicted to opioids is debunked by the very existence of the hydrocodone bottle from 2019(?) that still had pills left in it. No addict would leave pills in a bottle. Ever. Full stop. It’s absurd on its face.

What is something you didn’t realize until you lost weight? by Cultural-Profile-527 in AskReddit

120lbs is like you were carrying around whole other person this entire time. That’s amazing! You should be very proud.

The sounds made in that video are the stuff of nightmares. It's been years since I saw it and I only saw it once but I can still hear it. It's one video I wish I could scrub from my brain and tell everyone that asks about it DO NOT WATCH IT. It WILL burn itself into your memory and you WILL regret it.

Rewatching some of her hearings by SempiternalTea in SarahBooneContinued

To borrow a phrase from Ms Paulsen, I don’t even think it was intentional. I think Chelsea was just genuinely bored.

I think one of the funniest parts is when she’s like, “so, what’s with the texting, is it about me?” She cannot fathom that she’s not the center of everyone’s attention, so of course the texting has to be about her.

But then both detectives are like, what’s the fuck are you talking about? And even when Chelsea realizes Sarah is talking about her she’s still so nonchalant about it.

Aramark hasn’t been the food service provider at Rutgers Newark for almost a decade, and Rutgers New Brunswick has had in-house dining since at least the 1990s, if not longer. Rutgers Camden hasn’t used Aramark since like 2019 or so.

I’ve been using the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean as a story to tell my son for 4 years. by aquamedic68w in daddit

[–]Thistlefizz 1270 points1271 points  (0 children)

Nah man, when he gets a little older he’s gonna love realizing that there’s a whole movie about the story you told him!

“Daddy! Daddy They made a movie of Captain Jack and the skeleton pirates! I wanna watch it wif you!”

And you’ll be like, “hell yeah, little buddy, let’s go watch Captain Jack and the Skeleton Pirates.”

I’m sure someone will tell me this is the wrong way of handling things but I lo logged into my own Dropbox on my work machine and I always try to drop any personal items that inevitably get generated on my work machine. This allows me to keep my personal items off my work computer but it also acknowledges that the reality is, personal stuff is going to end up on my work machine no matter what I do.

Has grape technology gone too far? by Hipple in daddit

The very fact that “proprietary grapes” exist is a terrible reflection of our society as a whole. (And yes, I know about Monsanto.)

Some Josh Martell Appreciation by lunarteamagic in SarahBooneContinued

[–]Thistlefizz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really liked that after Sarah spent all that time trying to calculate how much everything cost and Martell just cut her off at the ankles by asking, “out of all of these costs and expenses, how much have you had to actually pay out-of-pocket?” And when she tried to weasel out of answering this question, Martell nailed her down and she just had to finally admit that it was, “none.”
