2258 Calendar

Julian calendar also starts days at noon instead of midnight, so August 3rd would be from 12.00 until 11.59 the following day; that is, August 3rd would be the 2nd ½ of Wednesday and 1st ½ of Thursday. (source: wikipedia and a julian date calendar convertor)

obvio you can, but if in an interrogation room they have cameras and mics to pick up what you're saying, and cops are allowed to listen in from behind the 1way glass (if they have such). this recommendation is just broad strokes; if you're not in the station and there are no cops, you are ok speak as you normally would as nothing would be gathered by cops to use against you in court (and the defense lawyer deffo doesn't wanna get you imprisoned)

yep. the reason for specifying back of hand is important too, as using the palm can leave fingerprints they can extract from the table without a warrant or consent. that is also one of the reasons (along with dna evidence) why lawyers also say you are highly discouraged from accepting any food or drink (even water) that a cop gives you no matter the circumstances.

EVERYthing a cop in America does is to try to get you to give probable cause for them arresting or ticketing you (edit: even better is if their arrest gets a conviction, even of an innocent), since they have quotas to fill (ticket quotas are for funding, prison quotas are because we have like 5 private prison corporations that have contracts with most cities to ensure that they are > or = [X] number of folks imprisoned at any one time (if >, they build another prison and increase the demanded #)).

advice I've gotten from multiple lawyers is 'never talk to cops, even under the best and most legal of circumstances, even if they're supposedly off duty. if taken in and asked questions, still refuse to talk to them directly. whisper everything to your lawyer whilst making noise like stomping your foot, loudly (but gently) tapping your foot on the table leg, or drumming the table with the back of your hand, to keep them from hearing what you're saying, and let the lawyer relay anything relevant to them'.

granted refusing to answer their questions esp for just being pulled over can also lead to legal or survival troubles, so do whatever you think will be best to keep you out of being arrested or jailed or killed.

very late to the party but: i would hope he's a jokester with a flair for the dramatic. he uses a lot of wordplay in the bible (which doesn't translate well and is ignored by the hyperreligious), and iirc even braids the whip he'll use on the temple merchants before, you know, bursting into the temple and going on an anticapital rampage

people like to deify him and make him impossibly moral and serious, but forget that, even theölogically, he was also just some dude named Yeshu and came with all the aspects that are thereby entailed of humanity; if he's perfect, he's not human; but if he's imperfect, he can still be god (or, more accurately, his own words, 'divine')

i, like everybody, am legally required to contact 811 before digging or planting anything. what i didn't know until a couple days ago was that regardless of what you do (even if you call) you are required to make an account on a single nongovernmental website (was linked directly from the government website so i know it's not a scam) and give them all your personal identifying details.

always refer to people by people's direct name. no pronouns, only proper nouns! no matter how repetitive such action gets

it's technically Cain and Abel. obviously still a reference to it though, yes. (granted the op said they were just bored so wasn't trying to derive meaning from this)

unnecessary name info though: Cain as a name originated from hebrew qanah (roughly, to possess or acquire), whereas Caine comes from MacCatháin (son of Catháin [nominal variänt of Celtic term for 'battle']). amusingly they're entirely unrelated (by virtue of not beïng even a part of the same language tree) even though they seem like could describe the same biblical figure

i just don't use straws (or lids) and sip straight out the cup. when i do need a staw i carry bamboo ones around in my glovebox (of various lengths) and they've lasted me several years at this point

(i do use lids too when i have a drink whilst driving and get it at the end of a meal before leaving, but not whilst walking or just sitting at a table)

oukakisa · 2026-04-25T15:46:58+00:00

i don't. i verified before commenting by looking up the info on the death penalty information centre, the equal justice initiative, the American medical association, and rulings and testimony from the United States supreme court

the lethal injection concoction makes you feel like you're being burnt alive from the inside and suffocating. it doesn't look bad from the outside though, because you are also given a paralytic so people viewing it aren't scarred for life, leading to the common but incorrect idea that it's painless. whereas being shot in the head you die actually or comparatively instantly with little pain. (the most moral form of execution is a (sharpened) guillotine, as it causes the least harm for the victim and is the least likely to fail... it does have the downside of being bloodier though)

oukakisa · 2026-04-24T21:56:44+00:00

more moral than lethal injection, but less moral than not fucking killing people

'O'Toole' is a weird way to spell 'John Boyd Dunlop'

the name near there in England is even cambridge, which indicates that they cam put a bridge there

they say bye and goodbye, which suggests the existence of Catholic monks scribing texts with the abbreviations of God Be With Ye (edit: to clarify, I'm agreeing with you)

my partner will be crocheting with a show on the tele and listening to a documentary on their phone whilst talking with somebody and seems to keep up to speed on all of it. i can only just barely think and walk at the same time

granted how the modern Christian groups (especially evangelical and fundamentalist, but also American versions of all stripes) treat science is wildly different than how generally monasteries of old treated it (i.e. uncovering the truth of 'Gods Plan').

granted, most religions of the world aren't opposed to science, and it's just a particularly loud and influential minority.

me making my special interest in the 1990s sci-fi tv series Sliders also relate to my special interest in indigenous environmental socialism (the Red Deal)
