I never waive a jury trial period, and with Louisiana set to drop the jury threshold to $5000 it’s gonna be open season on fraudsters.

Yeah, dude, why would they give me all this discretion if they thought I was going to abuse it? Anyway, dismissed with prejudice, I’m out

Just watched a clip on Twitter of a mob kicking a dude to death for apparently no reason. Then someone replied with a longer clip that showed him charging the mob with a machete, for apparently no reason, seconds before they started kicking him to death I self defense. Then someone replied with an even longer clip showing the mob throwing rocks at him, once again, for apparently no reason, as he tried to run, seconds before he charged the mob in self defense with a machete and then they started kicking him to death. When I'm selling my bhole for gasoline in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, I'll silently muse, "it was social media, for sure."

The problem is that we crave information that feeds our emotional needs. The compounding problem is that the less information we get to feed the craving, the more we feel in the gaps with our biases. We simply can't tolerate big, complicated issues. They're too cumbersome. We want quick, easy soundbytes that confirm our priors and don't challenge is, and social media pipes it down our loving throat. We prefer it this way and it's going to ruin us.

I mean, it's not a political point or whatever, but if it wasnt for social media I wouldn't know that this guy had adjusted his bowtie and muttered to himself "well, if seems the swarthy heathens want to test their resolve in the purifying crucible of righteous combat" before getting shithoused him being a deus vult dude is objectively funny

In 1968, Nguyễn Văn Lém was shot in the head. Lèm was captured by South Vietnamese forces after he was discovered having slit the throats of an officer, his wife, and their six children, as well as their grandmother. The South Vietnamese officer in charge, and the one who carried out the sentence, had accurately determined that as an irregular soldier, who did not meet the Geneva convention criteria for entitlement to PoW status, the man was to be summarily executed under the law and thereafter, was. The event was captured on camera, and circulated worldwide as an image that encapsulated the murderous consequences of the American involvement in Vietnam and support of the South Vietnamese military. The contextual information related to that image was not a component of it's dissemination, or the cultural meaning it has garnered.

So it seems like the tendency to jump to conclusions based on incomplete and inaccurate evidence pre-dates social media? Also I don't have any gas, will you accept some recently acquired Apple products as a donation?

To be clear I think it's correct that people often try to make judgment calls based on woefully incomplete information, and I even think a lot of people look for the wrong information when they bother to look at all. I hope everyone enjoys these broke brained tweets: Brain Curry posted:looks like he limited his account.

Yeah exactly. It's a one way ratchet of self chosen reality that is absolutely driving us all insane and dissolving what little cohesion remains, but on the other hand you get a hero like this guy showing up and posting about "so, what I was thinking when I brought a sword to defend a bar that has nothing to do with me is...." and honestly, who wouldnt make that tradeoff

The human aversion to challenging its own beliefs has always been there - it's evolutionary: red flower always kills when eat means that even though some red flowers don't actually kill you, you never eat any so that you never accidentally eat one that does - it's just that social media inadvertently wound up being like, "what's the worst thing we could do to the intellectual advancement of the human race? Oh, cool let's do that."

Why are we trying to dissect either the left's or right's version of "I studied the blade?" Can't we just post istudiedtheblade.jpg and go back to dissecting great meaning from LSAT scores and fighting the power by running overpasses through peoples' homes?

Mr. Nice! posted:Would anyone here mind looking at a pleading of mine and comment on it's quality as a writing sample? Plaintiff has asked this Court to look at a pleading of his. The writing fails to conform to correctitude, and the motion should be denied. Grammatical argument Its is the possessive form, "belonging to it." It's is the contraction of it is. Plaintiff wrote it's instead of its, which is incorrect. Conclusion The laws of this Court's great jurisdiction are clear: Plaintiff's argument fails, and his request should be denied.
