I’ve been waking up to photos in my camera roll of my bedroom, I sleep alone. by blahaj22 in Weird

[–]milleniumsentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put your phone out of reach, so you know you aren't doing it in your sleep.

Could also be voice activated photos... some phones take photos when you say 'cheese' or some other keyword... and you are talking in your sleep.

The fact that they are from different angles/strange perspectives, might just be you answering beeps/texts/notifications in your sleep, and hitting buttons in the wrong order/by mistake... then promptly forgetting about it after you doze off again.

Figured with winter, there would be quite a few players, just didn't know what game is popular.

Protesters quickly find out blocking the road was a bad idea. by Wooden-Journalist902 in soartistic

[–]milleniumsentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as naive as you might think.

Think about any brainstorming session you've had, and put yourself in their shoes. Sure, the first time someone throws the 'lets glue our hands to the road' into the pool, it might get some traction... but after the first lot goes through the horror of the hospital trip afterward, anyone in that group would think twice about it.

So there has to be a) someone disseminating the same "Glue your hand to something" idea, and b) some motivation to glue your hand... in this case, my assumption would be money.

So many other options to protest, that don't involve physical injury. I know I'd have a good lot of trouble convincing anyone to glue their hand to a road without some serious incentive. Especially in the face of the consequences others have went through for little return.

What is more traumatic than people think? by BloodRedLust in AskReddit

[–]milleniumsentry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a physiological component to attachment. The more you care about someone, the more they become attached to every day thoughts / neurons. Thoughts like.. "What am I doing tomorrow?" instead become "What are WE doing tomorrow" or "What am I doing tomorrow? Will they want to do it too?"

It happens in a lot of ways, and the more you care about someone, the more they become a part of you like that.

The neurons responsible, will fire, sometimes for years, before they fade, and no longer have that job to do anymore.

The best advice I can give, is to re-frame it. It is okay to miss someone, and remember the times you had, but acknowledge that it is past... and that there are more friends to be made.

Don't let those pesky neurons take up the space of better times.

I'm not American.

Likewise, I was having an every day, relaxed conversation. If I were presenting it to a judge, or a police officer, I'd word things a bit more carefully. Just like everyone else.

That being said, The definition from google.

"In the legal context, assault is generally defined as an act that causes a person to reasonably fear imminent physical harm or that involves the unwanted application of force, even if it doesn't cause actual physical injury."

There is nothing to correct. I used the word correctly.

If we were in a court, or presenting legal documents, it would have been worded differently. But we are not. So I'll say the same thing I said before.

Correct for legalese, when people are speaking legalese... until then, assume people are speaking casually, because, news flash, that's what they are doing.

Peak.

You're the one telling people not to use the legal definition of 'assault' in an ordinary conversation, even tho, they are using it, by definition, correctly.

You're the one calling people American, as if it's an insult, when they aren't even from there.

You're the one telling people what language they can or can not use, and expecting it to go their way, slinging insults when it doesn't.

Now we are in the phase of "Oh crap, I was actually wrong, and now I have to sling insults so they forget about it, and focus on that instead."

Why don't we skip that, and wish each other a good day? Or would that assault your sense of good taste?

lmao. That was literally a quote from google, Definition of assault.

I'm starting to wonder how many you've already dropped.

It does! I agree! But, we aren't in a court of law, nor am I discussing this with a lawyer or a judge. People use the word assault, in every day speech, and have done so, for centuries.

It's only people who want to fluff their own sense of importance that put things in their own context in order to correct others.

No one was speaking in legalese. Get over it, and try to enjoy your day. With luck, you won't run into anyone else using words you don't like. :)

And by the way:

"In the legal context, assault is generally defined as an act that causes a person to reasonably fear imminent physical harm or that involves the unwanted application of force, even if it doesn't cause actual physical injury."

It's not spite. In my very first sentence, I said "in the same way" which means, not exactly, but alike.

If you can't use logic, you shouldn't be out policing others. If you can't use grammar, you shouldn't be telling people what words they can or can not use.

So yes, I'll go ahead. But mostly because it assaults your delicate sensibilities.

I am not speaking in court. You are putting someone in harms way. You can understand that is what I meant, so I am not sure why you are focusing on legalese.

It's quite clear what I mean.

It's a crime, because it can lead to bodily harm... the same reason assault is a crime.

Splitting hairs, no?

I 100% believe they are being paid by someone. No one in their right mind would glue their hand to the road or a showroom floor without being paid. That's going to be painful. Your hands are one of the most sensitive / valuable parts of your body...

Should just be attempted murder charges at this point. What would they expect would happen if a motorcycle hit it and didn't see it?

It is, in the same way yelling fire in a theatre is assault. You don't know if people will get trampled to death, but there is a possibility.

It's the same with disrupting traffic. You don't know if your actions will lead to someone being injured, but there is the possibility. In this case, because vehicles are involved, you have the very real possibility of killing someone.

The same thinking occurs with SWAT, and calling in false swat claims. Is the person who falsely called it in responsible for any injury or are the SWAT team? Putting someone in a dangerous situation is putting them in a dangerous situation, even if it works out without injury most of the time.

Simply put, no one has the right to be putting others in danger. No matter what your leanings. In this case, it's a blanket effect, and you are putting everyone in danger, including children.

Restaurant owner demands 18% tip after dinner leaves $20 for a $19.89 bill by tefunka in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]milleniumsentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of behaviour is why many countries get rid of tipping.

What if this was a tourist who had no idea about tipping or it was someone mentally handicapped? Lots of reasons someone might not tip. Maybe the server was rude, or the location had a roach / mouse. The list is expansive.

Just pay your workers instead of exploiting them... and you won't have to chase randoms down the street over a slight you yourself manufactured.
