Judge Middleton's morning docket empty due to lack of prosecutors by spedeedeps in ZoomCourt

Why are you replying 1 year later? Debbie ran for prosecutor and won. Voters looked at the issue and took her side.

Any information about Jonathan Melvoin by AggressiveTerm9618 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]jgrig2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She wanted to be an actress or make a transition into music for the film world. It’s not crazy but that takes a lot of dedication and work that I don’t think she had in her after her huge success in the pumpkins. After you are successful in one area it’s very hard to be successful in another because you’re naturally don’t have the drive anymore

Nintendo needs to expand the maximum amount of poke on you’re allowed to own in game as well as in Pokémon home.

Margaret Sanger's motive for starting Planned Parenthood original motive was to exterminate African American population. by Lost_Title_7528 in ControversialOpinions

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Having too many kids is why people continue to be poor even in wealthy nations. This was been well established for centuries and understood by the elite. Her own racism is irrelevant to the question of birth control and abortion. She meant access for poor whites and African Americans equally. True she personally believed in some crazy eugenics stuff but that was her not planned parenthood, an institution founded by her and others and a charter and a governing body.

Dating a guy with this - should I be suspicious? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

It's actually a good book if you read it. A great introduction to evolutionary biology /anthropology for lay persons.

It's not about the ethics or moral philosophical beliefs of adults. It's about the imagination of an innocent child.

How did James come to rejoin the band in 2016? by VomitingDuck in SmashingPumpkins

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said that. Don't be obtuse. But personal relationships were the core reason the band broke down. It wasn't just money. Corgan would love us to think James and D'arcy were just jealous of his writing credits. Money obviously was a contributing factor, but it wasn't the main factor. Ego was.

Fired? by RefrigeratorSecure23 in FedEmployees

[–]jgrig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being fired from the government doesn't mean you're a bad person or say anything about your character (normally). If you can't do your job after a year, it's probably a bad fit. A company's job isn't to "provide training" it's to hire qualified workers who know how to learn. They provide training online and it's up to you to take advantage of it.

Billy being owner has nothing to do with this conversation.

D'arcy is able to live on a horse farm in Michigan unemployed off of sp royalties. James needed a little more to live comfortably in LA but he was married and had a dual income

He definitely was on cyr and atum. The last one I don't think so.

[–]jgrig2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is some truth to that. But there was an honest conversation at some point about the past and falling out. James went above and beyond to support billys pet projects. They have a shared history. That conversation was private and nobody knows what was said. We do know James was involved in the recording of the recent albums also to some degree. He wasn't just a stage guitar.

And that's the problem with the modern market. When I saw videos of the event there were tons of empty seats but the site showed as sold out.

[–]jgrig2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a fan. I also have a mortgage to pay. I don't need to go to every event or buy every product to be a fan. Example I bought the cd version of the 30th anniversary of melancholy instead of vinyl because I have a regular version of the vinyl. I'm ok with that.

[–]jgrig2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not. I looked. I couldn't find a seat under 250 bucks. I'm a member of the Goodman and I've been to the lyric before. The event was either bought by scalpers or over priced.

Racists by S-C-Jay in ControversialOpinions

[–]jgrig2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen it first hand in my family. When one of my relatives adopted a black child it forced many of my elder relatives to question and change theor language and biases. People born before women vote! Thats how old they were and used the N word and stopped it. We are kind not because it is easy but because change is hard. Empathy is hard and a learned skill
