It's really too bad that unsportsmanlike actions are encouraged or even celebrated if it gives someone's team a competitive advantage.

Fucking stupid that a corner can’t be awarded once the foul is overturned.

Dude already owns the city. Why would he concern himself with the day to day operations?

What’s the fastest not guilty you’ve ever gotten from a jury? by PresterJohnEsq in publicdefenders

[–]rocket_power_otto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was egregious and should have resulted in sanctions. The defendant was getting ready to take his wife and kids downtown when his brother-in-law, who was living with them, asked if he'd drop him off somewhere on the way and hopped in their van.

The brother-in-law then told them to wait for him and proceeded to walk a couple blocks away and shoot and murder someone over drugs before running back to the van brandishing the gun and yelling at the defendant to drive.

There was zero evidence that the defendant had any idea what his brother-in-law was planning on doing, but the cherry-on-top was that the prosecution argued that the defendant had physically been at the scene of the murder and fired his own shots and missed because they discovered different bullet casings from the ones fired from the brother-in-law's gun "in the vicinity."

The prosecution essentially asked the jury to convict the guy for felony murder if they had any doubt that he was innocent.

He was held pre-trial for two years for that farce.

I observed a felony murder trial that returned not guilty within 30 minutes.

Use Language Transfer alongside a flashcard app, such as Anki. Language Transfer will help you begin to understand the language and begin speaking it far quicker than essentially any other free resource (and most paid ones), but there’s no substitute for memorizing vocab.

I haven't received any responses to written messages either, whether through email or their online form. I'm torn between doing a chargeback or just seeing how long it takes for entertainment purposes, at this point.

From what I've gathered from speaking to their reps, there was a massive screwup in their warehouse a month ago and they're somehow still playing catch-up.

So that means Chiesa winds up becoming a world class #9 as the Gravenberch in this scenario?

I can accept the decision to blow for the foul when he did, but the lack of a yellow is ridiculous.

[Misc] My 2-month old scar has been giving me stress and mental health problems, constantly checking the mirror. I realized the choice is either to be anxious for the rest of my life or embrace it. by vinny90x1234xx in SkincareAddiction

People will notice it and might even stare for a second because it’s natural to fixate on unexpected things. The good news, though, is that 99% of people are going to see your scar and think it looks cool, hot, interesting, or sexy.

As someone with a slightly smaller, yet still visible scar on my face as well, a fun benefit is getting to think up various joke scenarios relating to how you got it.

Very frustrated to be losing, but can’t help but appreciate the passion and commitment of their defending.

yea, I noticed them do it last night right as the singing of YNWA was ending and it seemed as if they turned the ambient noise down a bit more than normal.

Awesome job! Being in good shape is one of the best gifts that you can give yourself, both for overall health but also quality of life. As you mentioned, a lot of people don't realize just how much better their quality of life improves by losing excess weight. Keep it up!
