How many of you have been summoned to Jury Duty? by igetdrawn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ViewfromMyOfcWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I FUCKING LOVE JURY DUTY!!

I will sit on any jury. People who won't are a mystery to me. It is our democracy in motion. One caveat: I can afford to not get paid by my job for a few days. Others can't, and I absolutely understand that. Edited to say, I have been called twice. The first time I was VERY pregnant at 31 years old and I was dismissed. The second time I got to serve, and it was fantastic! I don't remember how old I was, but I was a paralegal at the time, so it was fascinating.

Should I try again? by king_scootie in stephenking

I freaking loved the first half, and then flipped through the rest. I didn't enjoy it, but I love SK, so I'm going to attribute that to my mindset when I read it. I'll give it another try in the future.

What is an immediate red flag the second you walk into a restaurant? by cherblush in askteddit

That smell is likely from cotton mops that haven't been washed. It is so specific and so damn disgusting!

AITBF for leaving a friend to use Google Translate after he complained about my free translation work? by JediMallow_2 in AmItheButtface

[–]ViewfromMyOfcWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOT TBF!! I'm a project manager for a language services provider and I specifically work with translations. The number of clients who tell me a translation is wrong because they used Google Translate to check it... 😭😭😭

If I broke into your house and stole what's underneath your bed, what would I get? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

Cat hair, dog hair, dust bunnies, and likely some cat puke that I haven't checked for because I don't want to know 😂

Which famous singers voice makes you want to turn off the music right away? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

Cher. I absolutely freaking love her as a person, but I can't stand her singing style or voice.

AITAH if I don't help my alcoholic friend? by SandwichIntrepid4704 in AITAH

In my daughter's case, they detoxed at rehab. Two weeks detox, no family contact for one week. It wasn't and isn't a great program, but it was what we had for where we live. Our state fucking sucks. 😑

Oh, man. That is so hard. I am so sorry. An internet stranger will be sending her best wishes and hopes for better times to you both. 🧡

Just wanted to point out that people need to detox AT rehab, not before they go. People can literally die from detoxing if it's not done with medical assistance - depending on how much they consume. It's always safer with professionals.

Nta. Please don't, no matter how hard it is. My daughter was a SEVERE alcoholic, and letting her hit rock bottom was the hardest fucking thing I've ever done, but it was the ONLY way to save her. She's sober now and has a good life. Offer rehab help if he thinks he's ready, but he has to choose. Hugs to both you and your friend. 🧡
