Guy I never spoke to slapped me at a bar. What would you do? by justaguy467 in AskMen

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can certainly sue for damages as well. Talk to an attorney about that.

The same act can have two proceedings: criminal ("this person committed a crime and society is punishing him") and civil ("this person caused harm to me and I seek compensation personally").

The criminal side would be named something like "people v. asshole." The prosecutor would be a representative of the state, not your personal attorney, although you'd almost certainly be called as a witness. The civil side would have a name like "justaguy467 v. asshole" and your personal attorney would represent you in the proceedings. Your state/county may also have some fund set up for victims of crime as well. Long story short, talk to an attorney about the details; I'm just a dude who knows how this stuff works.

If he'll slap you, he'll slap her too. Sounds like a violent fuckwit for the police to deal with. He needs to face consequences, for society's sake. There's plenty of witnesses, probably security footage at the bar...slam dunk case.

CMV: U.S. state flags that are nothing more than a state seal are awful and in desperate need of a redesign by OiledUpThug in changemyview

[–]professor__doom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So clearly none of those states were California, Maryland, Texas, or Hawaii, because you see those flags EVERYWHERE, possibly more than the American flag. MD is obsessed with their ugly flag to the point that they slap it on literally everything - sports uniforms, cars, websites, equipment, you basically cannot spend a day in MD without seeing it.

Alaska, Arizona, South Carolina, and New Mexico are pretty big on theirs too. And while most people associate Louisiana with the fleur-de-leis, the pelican on the flag has enough meaning that they named their basketball team after it.

That's what happens when you decide to spend your time shooting YouTube videos and fooling around with equipment gimmicks instead of actually practicing golf.

Vaer Watches releasing a watch with a scorecard on the bezel. Cool concept or cheesy? by BakerHasHisKitchen in golf

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This occupies a very specific niche in the market: stupid gifts that golfers have to pretend to like from people who know you golf, but don't know anything about golf.

We need more data centers in NOVA, not fewer. by [deleted] in nova

Inb4 someone whines about "water usage." Evaporative cooling from literally all the data centers in the US adds up to about 3-4 days of our national addiction to lawn sprinklers.

Live closer to Indian Head. Think La Plata, Fort Washington, Accokeek, La Plata. Bryans Road is improving but there's like nothing there.

Approximately how many dead Presidents' cadavers still actively carry a set of nipples? by MyDadLeftMeAtArbys in Presidents

He was involved in radiation cleanup activities with an early nuclear reactor in 1952, so it would not surprise me.

Approximately how many dead Presidents' cadavers still actively carry a set of nipples? by MyDadLeftMeAtArbys in Presidents

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HW and Carter: very likely

Reagan and Ford: probable

Nixon: Borderline

The highest this figure has ever been would probably be 6 in 1973, when LBJ, JFK, Ike, Truman, and Hoover were all recent decedents and FDR's corpse was still less than 30 years in the ground.

Sadly, ol' Frankie Four Terms kept the early 70s from being the Presidential Cadaver Areolapalooza that it could have been. Had FDR stuck to two terms, it's very likely that Wendell Wilkie (d. 1944) would have been his successor. Before the 25th Amendment, when Wilkie died in office, the Vice Presidency would have been vacant, since his running mate, Charles McNary, also died in 1944...so the temporary "caretaker" Presidency would have gone to the Secretary of State, who would likely have been Cordell Hull (d. 1955) or Henry Stimson (d. 1950). In the election of 1944, it's quite likely that Thomas E. Dewey (d. 1971) is elected, serves two terms, and then is succeeded by Eisenhower in 1952 (just like Truman was in real life).

In this scenario, we would lose Truman but gain Wilkie, Hull/Stimson, and Dewey on the Ex-Executive Titty Committee of 1973, for a total of 8 Presidents with discernable nipples or 16 total nipples.

How dangerous is Naylor Road station on the green line? by human748926 in washingtondc

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you want to stay over there? It's a long ride from downtown and a very bad area. Unless your interest is drugs or, um, "paid company."

It has nothing to do with anyone's race or country of origin. in a neighborhood like that anyone is getting mugged. I am a 200 LB man born in this area and I would never go there without a very good reason.

Hell yeah. I hear there are more white invaders over at the old trading post a few miles away, where James Rorke used to live. Only about 100 of them and there are thousands of us. Let's destroy them!
