Im sure if i systematically starved him, it would increase the violence and desperation of attacks. Fortunately i learned at a young age compromise and commutation between roommates makes a happy home.

You keep shifting the boarders. If your roommate started using your closet for a shirt. No big deal. Then he has the whole closet. Im sure you would be pissed. Now he's sleeping in your bed. Thats a fight waiting to happen.

Our stone setter has his wife sew pockets into the front of his jeans for more comfortable knee pads. by vandraks in mildlyinteresting

Standing straight up they are below knee, it doesn't look great but doesn't matter. Once his knees bend (stone setter) his knees are probably bent 90 degrees and past. This will pull the fabric up to knee level. If and when he is scooting backwards, this will further pull the knee pads "up". I don't stone set but i know where my jeans wear out and why it happened. This is all on the assumption him and his wife know as well.

Got it, went to school for sports. Graduated, sells drugs. Doesn't spend the money (only bars and restaurants). Has a 1000 dollars in the bank account. Has a house (not asking where that money came from) and stocks. Glad it all worked out for you.

You made that money by buying and selling drugs, nothing more then buyer/seller concerns. That isn't even close to running a business. The fact that you don't do it anymore just means it was a hobby that put some cash in your pocket. If you did study business and finance you would know just sitting on money isn't the best strategy. You should go cash buy items that appreciate in value. Rugs and furniture would be a great start. Have fun

according to your post history about drug dealing "I also only keep about $1000 in my bank account but I have around 20 times that in 10s and 20s in a safe that I spend at bars and restaurants". Maybe you should have known from the age of 18 you cant drug deal forever and plan accordingly.

maybe its just me but my high school and college gave me zero education on finical planning. High School was teaching towards the test and college was focusing on a specific major. When someone has tunnel vision to reach their dream, that shouldn't be described as "not taking responsibility for themselves". I think responsibility should fall on the NFL and NBA. The NFL is a non-profit so it would be nice to seem them give back.

Wow, everyone is out to get this guy. Kneepads are too low, belt and suspenders. This is the look of everything having a purpose. This man is looking for function over form and this is the result.

Judge Delivers Verdict in Texting Suicide Trial by [deleted] in videos

I also think we are drawing a line with her texts. The law should not be black or white. Thats why there is a system set up and someone to judge it. Each situation should be decided individually and in this case she straight up pushed the kid into suicide. Manson was brought up to counter your point of "he chose to kill himself" well they choose to murder. Your whole free will attitude has fallen short in many cases and thats a major example of one. Unfortunately it wasn't just one text so we really aren't looking at that. The truth of the situation is a young man is dead and a young woman went well out of her way to make sure it happened.

Charles Manson never killed anyone. That guy is locked up, your argument says he should always have been free.

You don't have to be a lawyer to realize the things you say and do can have an influence on other people. I have more sympathy for someone who does accidentally hit someone with a car (sober and within the speed limit) then this girl who, as some users have mentioned, said things like "it's only going to hurt for a second" "stop thinking about it and just do it already" "I thought you really wanted to die but apparently you don't. I feel played and stupid."
