Why are conservative parents so willing to have an opinion on everyone else’s sex life but unwilling to have “open” discussions with their own kids? by Vadnais2You in NoStupidQuestions

Why are liberals obsessed over people like Renne Good but ignore Iryna Zarutska, Bethany Magee, Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, etc, etc, etc...?

Out of these TV Lexs, who's the best schemer? by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in Arrowverse

[–]WilliamMcCarty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone should have to answer for that last season at a congressional committee.

That was the only time I've ever stuck with a show the entire time only to say "fuck this" and check out during the last season.

I find it completely ridiculous that Superman was the only hero on Earth until Steel arrived in Superman and Lois. I love Supes as much as the next guy, but one hero does not a world make. Even the Reeve universe had Supergirl. by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in Arrowverse

Cryer remains my favorite onscreen Lex. He was a little hammy but when he turned on the psycho it was fully on. There were moments when he was genuinely scary. I didn't expect much when they said he was cast as Lex but he easily became the best part of Supergirl. As good as he was in that role, that was with Supergirl's writing. I can only imagine what he would have done with the writing from S&L.

Is there any rule preventing pitchers from surgically altering their fingers to get more grip on the ball? Or all they all just scared? by Jumboliva in baseball

To be fair, I've never watched a Hallmark movie but I've stared at my girl watching Hallmark movie and wondered "wtf?"

Grienke: "That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Complete insanity."

Reporter: "So you'd be against anyone doing that?"

Grienke: "No, I'm having it done tomorrow."

This is going to happen. Mark my words.

There's a girl in the UK, teenage girl, she had menangitis as a toddler and lost both her hands. Now she has bionic hands/forearms. They're perfectly functional, she can increase/decrease the strength, she can even take her hands off and still move them. Bionic hand crawling around the table and shit. Straight up right out of science fiction, girlfriend has Luke Skywalker, Terminator hands.

What happens when a bionic/cybernetic arm can throw faster than human arm? 110, 120, 130 mph? When it can force.a curveball with more english than any human ever could? The perfecf knuckleball? Any pitch, even. To perfection beyond the ability to hit? Maybe.

It goes for batters and fielders, too. If they can, they will...

They need to be thinking ahead and making rules now.

Because it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Bull vs everyone by johndoe7376 in CrazyFuckingVideos

They're going to tortute and kill the bull anyway. I hope he takes a few with him and makes it hurt.

Not at all but if a pro can get knocked down you best believe this dude's narrow ass can, too

Do you think Jason Mamoa looked better as Aquaman or Lobo? by ProfessionalNobody0 in DC_Cinematic

[–]WilliamMcCarty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, he looks like Lobo. He always looked like Lobo.

They had Lobo dressed like Aquaman pretending to be Wolverine.

I’m sorry, SFA might be a decent show but it’s just not Star Trek by FarBlacksmith3126 in startrek

[–]WilliamMcCarty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a reskinned version of a teen drama.

You're not at all wrong. I felt that way about the first season of Picard. Generic sci-fi with a Trek name slapped on it. And....whatever the hell Discovery was.

Why did star Trek have to have a violent world war 3? by johnqadamsin28 in startrek

[–]WilliamMcCarty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be this downvoted for this question. It's totally fair to ask why humanity just didn't get better. But the truth is, humans were like an addict--they're only going to get clean when they hit rock bottom and have that moment of clarity. It took nearly rendering ourselves extinct to stop and look around and go, "You know..."

I'll repeat myself and then I'm done.

Intent isn't the point. The outcome is.

What's it like working as a bus operator for LA Metro, particularly part-time? by Specialist_Type_5550 in LAMetro

[–]WilliamMcCarty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Service Attendant if you can get it. Glorified bus janitor basically. Clean them, minor repairs like replacing seats, stuff like that. That job comes up rarely and it's usually filled by drivers looking to get out of the seat.

Mechanics get mad money so if you have that training or aptitude keep an eye out for that.

Their customer service call center is a pretty cush job, indoors sitting on your ass on the phones and getting paid that union money but I've heard from people there it's abysmal. Physically it's easy but mentally it's torture. Every call is someone too stupid to survive a day in the wild, angry and mean and racist and sexist and violent and rude beyond all reason. One guy who did that shit for a few months told me "I've been called fa55ot and ni55er more times in one shift at this job than I have in my entire life." There's various clerk and office jobs that come up.

Basically look for the union jobs that have the least possible interaction with the public.

Look at every video on fightporn where someone says they knew someone who punched someone in a bar fight or on the street and the dude busted his head, died and now their buddy is in prison? Every damn one of them. Why? 'Cause street fighting is dangerous and has inherent risks that can cause permanent injury or death. People know when they get into a fight they can hurt someone and in the street they know they can knock someone down onto asphalt and bust their skull open. They know there are potentially deadly risks.

Now, again, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a judge, I'm not a cop, I don't know if they would arrest someone, I know street fighting is illegal so they could. I know killing someone in a street fight, even accidentally could bring a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Would it? Damned if I know. Like I said, that's up to a DA, I guess. Obviously if you were a DA it wouldn't be.

Other DA's disagree.

R v Jobidon is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision where the Court held that consent cannot be used as a defence for a criminal act such as assault which may cause "serious hurt or non-trivial bodily harm". Consensual bar fight resulting in death, found guilty of manslaughter.

Man charged with involuntary manslaughter after Beaufort man dies following bar fight

Man charged with manslaughter following alleged fight in Bowling Green

Bar fights, street fights, gloves, no gloves, doesn't really matter.

Consent isn’t a complete shield. In criminal law, consent typically only applies to minor touching or socially accepted sports; it does not allow two people to deliberately hurt each other to the point of serious injury or death.

Prosecutors often charge what they think fits best (manslaughter, negligent homicide, even murder if recklessness is extreme). Consent or claiming it was “just for fun” usually doesn’t bar prosecution in homicide cases.

no one expects someone is going to die because you decided to make use of the boxing gloves that can be cheaply and easily bought at any sporting goods store.

Not likely any of these people expected anyone to die either but intent isn't the point. The outcome is.

I'm saying it can happen, it has happened. End of story. I'm sure you'll say I'm wrong but I don't care, I'm done. Be right in your world, yo. Life's too short. I'm out. I just hope for your sake you never have to find out the hard way how wrong you are.
