I did that a couple years ago and it was worth the :20bux:
I'm a little biased too as I grew up on the East Coast & went to Disney World a lot more than Disney Land.

I'm now watching Paddington 2 and a part of me feels like I'm missing some things since I haven't seen the first Paddington movie.

Two things:

1) we are on episode 5. Ronald seems like a genuinely good doofus

2) you were watching the trial or in it?

I was in the trial, still going on. It was like 28 days. They asked me why I shouldn't be in the trial and I went off on Scientology and mentioned that at one time I fed the FBI information about their case they were trying to build in the cyber crimes division as well as being there when Jenna Elfman got arrested for attacking a protester, all true. I was like the first person dismissed.

gently caress Scientology. And also gently caress Danny Masterson.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
So this is a genuine question. if you hate cops and are called to a jury, should you give an honest answer about your opinion on cops, knowing you will almost certainly be dismissed immediately?

Yes but in the LA thread. They literally asked three questions how do you feel about guns? Not great. Has anyone you know in the last year accused someone of sexual assault? Yes. How do you feel about Scientology and I wrote on the front and back of the form. We didn't have our phones or wifi but I dropped a bunch of poo poo, forced abortions, child labor on the Free Winds yacht, Sea Org, disconnection, suicides, hell I even brought up asbestos. Thanks, Anonymous.



edit: also these stories sound a little attention hungry whenever I say them if you live in LA long enough you have brushes with celebrity all the time so apologies not trying to sound that way. I just hate scientology.

Possibly, I was a juror right before Covid and someone got out for the opposite reason - that they loved cops so much that there is no way they could not believe their testimony.

There are no swim up bars at WDW. They have bars by the pools but you gotta walk to them like a land lubber.

Also DLR and DCA are smaller in footprint but actually have more attractions than all of WDW’s 4 parks combined.

Man I definitely want to start a small garden like that but I keep getting decision paralysis on where I want to put the vegetable garden and what I wanna grow.

Yeah the one in that pic was easy as hell to do. A trip to home depot for the concrete corner pieces, which have slots that fit 2x; some pressure treated lumber (it's food safe these days), and four bits of rebar to stake them into the ground. Took like 20m to set up. Then just fill with dirt and grow stuff. We also put fencing around it to keep our regular backyard critters out. But the main deal is, it's temporary, we can pull up the rebar and remove everything and it'd be back to level graded "yard" and it all would be re-usable. We just weren't sure if that was the best spot for sun, so that flexibility is great.

I love that one onion just chillin there

I stuck some wilty storebought green onion in a pot like six years ago and it just lives forever. I trim a leaf every now and again when I need some green onion. This past winter I stuck it in the bed and it went nuts, it's flowered and produced a huge stalk (we're eating the flowers, the stalk was too woody to eat) but that's another offshoot bulb, also flowering, that I'm just gonna keep growing. But there's also a red onion in the back that sprouted in the fridge, I planted it a month ago and it's already split.

Don't actually buy onions if you own some dirt, just plant them and they propagate and live forever. Onions are free. Actually we eat way too many onions, I'd have to plant acreage, but it's nice to always have a bit in the yard if we run out

Man I dunno, I think being dismissed from jury duty during juror selection isn't exactly being "in the trial"?

Neutrality and impartiality aren't the same thing, if you are neither super in favor nor super against cops, that is itself a partial position reflecting personal bias; the only impartiality would be if you had literally no opinion, like if you'd never heard of police, and those people don't exist. IMO one of the critical failures of jury trials is this insane centuries-outdated notion that it's possible for people to be unbiased without also being idiots.

I do see your point but if you hate an entire group of people rather than judging an individual on their merits you shouldn't be on a jury and it should be obvious as to why.

it's funny how much money we spend on dirt in order to grow $50 of vegetables but it's so nice to just go pick some tomatoes all summer, I am hype
Vine ripened heirloom tomatoes are worth way more than $50 if you value flavor.

Make a BLT with tomatoes from your own garden and wonder why you haven't been doing that every year. Then you will do that every year.

Cherry tomatoes are good because they grow all summer. I usually have more than I can eat. My garden has been hit or miss the last couple years, but I reworked it this fall and hopefully I get better results this year.
Our volunteer cherry tomatoes last until Halloween and could last longer but we just rip them out at that point.

Yeah, more recently than that (although that's important) there's a reason the word testilying exists and it's not because of the accused.

I'm not going to hate you as a person without knowing you, I'm just saying I know your organization routinely lies to the press, has used junk science for decades, and maybe doesn't exactly view every citizen in the same way. But you better come at me with straight evidence and 'just the facts ma'am,' if you're talking to me in a trial. If we do that last part, we can be cool.

We finished it last week, it is pretty funny throughout. As mentioned already, the last episode is really great.

Because if you DO get yourself a lovely person what are you going to do, convict him in the last episode? That's a completely different show.
