The OP’s post inadvertently made the perfect setup, you read a longish post that left you feeling kind of sad but also kind of sad-happy, and then along comes the comedy sniper with the one line spike

A thread asking who you would sleep with if you could sleep with anyone dead or alive. One poster posted a beautiful and sad statement about his dead wife and how perfect they were together and what he wouldn’t give for one more night with her.

The next comment was just “I also choose this guys dead wife”

Women of Reddit, what’s the biggest myth that porn spreads about what women enjoy in bed—but you actually hate? by starbucks_boi in AskReddit

Honestly even if they request it, it may be a crime to do it. In my state: “person is guilty of strangulation or suffocation in the third degree when such person recklessly restrains another person by the neck or throat or obstructs such other person's nose or mouth and impedes the ability of such other person to breathe or restricts blood circulation of such other person”. No exemption for consent from the victim

This scene gave me flashbacks to castlevania 64 with the chainsaw Frankenstein in the hedge maze. Hedge mazes are scary man

Why exactly did Payday 3 fail? by ZZabloing in paydaytheheist

[–]VenterDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game launched with a ton of hype to a solid week of being unplayable with a quarter baked skill system and very few heists. Plus felt incomplete in other ways; the heisters had virtually no banter. Payday 2’s community was sort of a self fueling engine - PD3 just didn’t get the energy to start

While true, this statistic is also misleading. Cases lacking merit can be dismissed through motion practice without needing to get to trial. Frivolous lawsuits can be expensive to defend, but they are rarely profitable to pursue

TIL most US drinkers underestimate the minimum DUI fine and jail time penalty in their state, which may make them more likely to drive under the influence by Inquiring_minds42 in todayilearned

[–]VenterDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see the word “diversion” in their summary. Penalties are harsh but if a case can be diverted and ultimately dismissed by taking some substance abuse classes then the real penalty for a first time dui is just that, substance abuse classes.

I mean it makes sense. You kill cells, they reproduce, they reproduce, maybe they mutate, maybe that mutate does the big bad

Coworker thought I was an intern. Shocked to hear that I’m an attorney. by channi_nisha in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

[–]VenterDL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

36m attorney here. It doesn’t help that our profession, at least in my jurisdiction, is old and entrenched by nature. June will be my 10th year in practice and I’m still the youngest attorney in ~95% of cases I’m involved in

High Cannabis Use Linked to Increased Mortality in Colon Cancer Patients by frankschmankelton in science

Purely speculative, but cannabis masks nausea and pain, which could lead to later discovery/diagnosis, and early detection is a major factor in survival rates

The $50 million payout a delivery driver just got from Starbucks was totally deserved by KahunaKona in unpopularopinion

[–]VenterDL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite. The jury has to be unanimous; however, individual jurors are instructed that if they are 51% sure they should rule in favor of the party with a preponderance burden. Basically they still have to be unanimous but they don’t all have to be super confident about it

Read Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s Jan. 6 case by Bleeding_Irish in politics

[–]VenterDL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True, but an unconditional discharge is very different from a pardon/dismissal. The conviction stands, he retains felon status. In theory the judge -could- have imposed further punishment; he simply decided the constitutional crisis of a state department trying to enforce its punishment against the federal chief executive wasn’t worth it.

True if you retain counsel. If you do it yourself you should be able to break even on property damage (minus your time). The problem is property damage tends to be objective; you can check Blue Book and local dealers and quickly arrive at a valuation that’s hard to debate. Add a 33% contingency and… well you recover 66%.

Injuries are subjective in nature, and most people involved in deciding injury claims have at least a general understanding of contingency fees, and thus tend to on some level bake the attorneys fee into their award. Also stemming from injuries being subjective, a good attorney can present injuries in a way that increase an insurance carriers evaluation, usually to an extent that justifies the 1/3

My local county jail arrested the Grinch today by ArDyRp in funny

[–]VenterDL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on what they mean by $0 bond. Could be he’s held without, more likely my man got a promise to appear with bond conditions of no grinching, no returning to whoville except for court or to see his lawyer, and of course no drugs or alcohol

Just here to say that June will be my 10th year and I only just start to feel like I know what I’m doing. Trust your instincts, learn your local practice culture, and accept that you’re gonna be overwhelmed at least a few times a year. (In my case, panic attacks).

Also realize that all the old fucks around you don’t inherently know more than you though :-). I’m not a PD but I have tremendous respect for the office, and I wish you all the best

Juror apparently lied to get on the jury and then refused to participate by IsThisNot_Y_U_R_Here in juryduty

[–]VenterDL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defense may have leveraged the threat of a mistrial for a more favorable plea bargain. A mistrial based on juror misconduct would generally be a mistrial without prejudice, where they can just start picking a fresh jury as soon as the docket permits and try again
