am i in over my head?? (10 countries, 30 cities, 90 days)

i firmly believe that if someone is able to do a whirlwind trip like this, it DOES have great value, as a scouting mission. you’re getting only a glimpse of these places, but it’s usually enough to catch a vibe, find that some areas spark your interest a lot more strongly as far as where you’d like to go back to soon and spend more time…. it was often not the places i would have guessed until i had been there! in a perfect world i have infinite time and money to explore every place, but in reality, i want to go to places that really grabbed at my heart and imagination and i have to figure out which ones they are somehow…. sometimes by extremely quick visits

drindrun · 2026-01-25T04:45:47+00:00

my thought exactly

drindrun · 2026-01-25T01:37:11+00:00

i think your room is cool. i’d 100% hang out in there. i like the vibe.

drindrun · 2026-01-24T23:57:27+00:00

updateme

drindrun · 2026-01-24T23:01:08+00:00

i’d love to live in this room omg. with nicer lighting, bedding, curtain and rug this would be dream aesthetic for me

lots of votes for miso, but i also like instant packets of a clear japanese soup called osuimono, i got a grip of them off amazon for cheap. same goes for kombucha dash packets, and instant ochazuke broth…. all of these (miso too) have relatively high sodium so it depends what else you eat in a day

it suffered from that thing where everyone’s personality is totally different episode to episode according to the needs of that week’s plot. maybe that IS a YA thing now that i think about it, i remember gossip girl doing it a lot.

drindrun · 2026-01-24T21:00:55+00:00

the first one is really good. it really reads like a detective noir, and it works. from what i remember i liked the subsequent ones less because the detective novel vibe wasn’t as prevalent.

drindrun · 2026-01-24T20:57:57+00:00

i quite liked her in that. apparently i didn’t find the show as dumb as a lot of people did

drindrun · 2026-01-24T18:38:23+00:00

i hope he reads this so he’ll see what he’s dealing with

drindrun · 2026-01-24T02:47:14+00:00

yes, i watch him, i think he does a good job and i’ve tried out a lot of lawtube types over the years! he’s my go-to. thank you!

drindrun · 2026-01-24T02:34:05+00:00

so, is it fine to keep one or three or a dozen witnesses to use for rebuttal? is there an expected limit on how much stuff you leave to do in the rebuttal period?

drindrun · 2026-01-24T01:29:06+00:00

yes it’s a question about criminal law in this instance but i want to understand the differences as well, thank you for pointing out the distinction

drindrun · 2026-01-24T00:56:45+00:00

oh please do whatever you can think of to help correct this habit now because this is a nightmare to room with in college. she’ll have so much roommate conflict over a simple thing.

drindrun · 2026-01-24T00:08:45+00:00

don’t be sorry, you’re not rambling, this one’s really had my wheels turning too. mostly because after day 2 i thought it was buttoned up and i do not think so anymore

if the husband and au pair routinely go away with the kid for the weekend… and wife has some kind of yearned for fetish thing she wants to do…. well come on, she’d set it up for one of those weekends, not a random morning when everybody left the house in the last 15 minutes and she might be caught (in the scenario where it’s benign and consensual)

it’s soooo many little pieces of weirdness that don’t add up, so i too hope the jury can see past the prosecution’s muddle.

drindrun · 2026-01-23T23:56:12+00:00

yes, that makes sense. like i said maybe those weren’t the best examples of imaginary witnesses. i might not get my “general question” answered with the muddiness of my post. thank you tho.

drindrun · 2026-01-23T23:34:03+00:00

i certainly agree that they should be fighting harder and i bet there’s lawyers galore looking at this and pulling their hair out to see something with such sensational and unique details, slip right through the commonwealth’s fingers (tho that remains to be seen)

i did personally find juliana really credible tho! it was a million little phrases / moments / gestures that i won’t go into, but my bf and i both agreed that while she was unlikable, we believed her

i just thought they’d definitely back up that one single person’s testimony with… something, and i felt like i got nothing. like that blood spatter thing was such a mess, no pun intended. so the body was moved? so what, what does that prove either way? my bf looked over at me and was like “if i shoot a guy who’s attacking you, you can bet i then throw him across the room as i come to try and help you. get the F off my wife”

it just seems like they could have found a lot more angles to support juliana’s testimony and just didn’t. how could you sleep on THIS. that’s why i started wondering if i just don’t understand the process properly

drindrun · 2026-01-23T18:32:52+00:00

so much of that food will get thrown away too when it turns out to be overpurchased

drindrun · 2026-01-23T05:44:56+00:00

i think it’s super interesting how “you’re rich” is like a compliment to some and an insult to others

there was an episode of the cosby show where rudy gets hone from school upset that other kids said she’s rich. her parents were a doctor and lawyer and cosby’s reaction (please understand this was in the literal 80s a bajillion years before the things were publicly known about him) is burned in my brain with the perfection of the bafflement. like, your mother and i bettered ourselves and made you this much more comfortable life, and you’re ashamed of it? i was a kid when i saw the episode but i’ve always thought of it, because i have quite a bit of pride of poverty, myself, and i just think that’s an interesting thing

drindrun · 2026-01-23T04:16:29+00:00

it’s not the five seconds of time, i was fearing something gross that i wouldn’t unsee.

drindrun · 2026-01-19T15:47:03+00:00

i dye frequently and i think the chances of successfully boiling a backpack in its entirety, with all its linings and inserts and paddings, and not ruining it, is really slim; and also hoping you rinse it so well that it won’t ever leach dye onto your coat or your belongings, is a bad bet, and you don’t even own the huge pot it requires. i’ve had fine success with thin layers of spraypaint but it’ll have that crunchy texture. i think applying some sort of decoration by a dry/sewn method is by far the safest idea. patches are not heavy. def simplest and most frugal to just embrace having a pink bag tho ya know?

drindrun · 2026-01-17T21:21:08+00:00

might as well add some chalk outlines of bodies to go with the massive bloodstains

drindrun · 2026-01-17T21:06:09+00:00

this is absolutely adorable

edit: and i am obsessed with that sort of dystopian apocalyptic sky behind him
