  1. Yes, having the members of this board perform one additional click of the mouse is "ignoring" the issue.
  2. LOL, I literally have a pic of a charred corpse on my second monitor as I prepare for a hearing in a murder case. Its a reasonable request and has nothing to do with "mental weakness." Go fuck yourself Helo
  3. um, maybe we can spoiler that?
  4. Really putting an old testament spin on the classic "Emperor has no clothes" parable
  5. And very easy to see how one could get lost on the way to the stadium
  6. As usual, Slorch hits the nail on the head. During Christmas time, I drive around and see all these upper class people donating their money and time to the underprivileged and you can almost see the imaginary high ground they cling to. Obviously if one were serious about helping the less fortunate, they'd be selling their house, moving into a cheap apartment, and distributing the proceeds to the most needy.
  7. Watched episode 1 last night. Pretty badass
  8. honestly that gives me more hope than anything else I've seen over the last 8 years
  9. Why do we want the youth vote? NYTimes tells me its Biden +1 in 18-29 demo
  10. I think there should also be an ad that's just clips of GOP house members promising to slash SS, Medicare; push a nationwide abortion ban, ban contraceptives, pass laws making it easier for those under 21 and with MH issues to obtain guns, etc. Living in CA, I never see any national ads, but does stuff like this even exist? The closest thing that comes to mind from 2020-2022 is the fucking Lincoln Project.
  11. That reminds me of the time I was playing church league basketball around the age of 5. We had a guy that could shoot lights out (relative to the rest of us.) And this motherfucking fraud of a coach demands that we "share the ball" and get "everyone involved." Couldn't believe it as we watched our lead to St. Luke's slowly dwindle. Ended up losing 6-4. To this day I want to find that guy and ask him if he still thinks that was the right play
  12. Well, yeah. While Army was busy playing a boy's game stateside, aggy was storming the beaches of Normandy, blowing up Panzers in North Africa, and carving out glory holes in the fox holes in the Ardennes.
  13. they should bottle you up and sell you in pill form
  14. So the bowl matchup pits the #3 Big XII team vs the #9 SEC team?
  15. You rang? Yes, you can move to exclude witnesses from some or all of the proceedings.
  16. @RomaVicta In addition to the above, its also just really hard to prove (absent a witness memorializing that he/she intends to lie in advance.) A universal truth about witnesses is their memory is usually shit. Its very difficult to prove that someone is intentionally lying as opposed to misremembering or forgetting. Remember, it all comes down to the burden of proof - beyond a reasonable doubt. Absent direct evidence of perjury, how do you convince 12/12 jurors that the misstatement of fact was intentional?
  17. I'm dealing with the same. Second grader at a private, Catholic school. I tell her people can believe different things, and that's totally cool. She's never asked me point blank if I believe in God, but heaven/the afterlife came up the other day and we had a pretty open discussion about it. In a way that (I hope) did not leave her with existential dread. We talk about faith and belief vs science (not that one's better than the other, just that they are different.) I've given her examples from history in which blind faith led to incorrect conclusions (e.g. Galileo and the heliocentric theory) but I don't try to push her one way or another. She proudly tells us that she's Catholic, and we say "right on." My hope is that she is well informed enough to eventually make her own decisions. I don't bash religion or American Christianity in front of her the same way that I do on here or with my peers. There was the one time I couldn't hold back when my daughter came home talking about Noah's ark and I asked her why God killed everyone on earth because he didn't like their attitude. Wife didn't appreciate that line of questioning. Which is fair.
