My step mom got me pokemon red for Christmas way back in the day, but she didn't want the box to be too obvious, so she put it in a Ritz crackers box before she wrapped it. I thanked her very nicely for the crackers, because I'm a normal person, I could handle a disappointing gift like that, and Ritz are actually delicious. I did not break down, and actually thought it was really funny once I figured it out. Kids are okay with jokes, even from "authority" you dorks.

Every lawyer I know, including the one I helped with a mock trial when he was in law school about drunk driving, featuring a honest-to-goodness real judge who agreed, insists right and left that you take the breathalyzer every drat time. There are a million ways to get a breathalyzer result thrown out, but you will almost never see the same happen with the fact you refused the test. It'll be staring you in the face in court every time, and you will lose your license for a while no matter what in many states.

RabbitWizard posted:You have a speed limit between 100(km/h) and 120 on most of the autobahn. There are only some parts where you have no limit (but if you're faster than 130 and crash with someone driving below 130 you're at full fault insurance-wise, if you survive). There is a speed minimum but it's like 60 or something. Just saying so no one thinks the speed signs at the autobahn are the minimum you have to drive. My mom, based on a couple trips to Germany, adores the autobahn. This is a woman who is terrified of speeds over 60mph. She loves it because, as she claims, there is a huge factor that solves sooooo many problems: the left lane, like most places, is the passing lane, but Germany actually enforces it hard.

Lu Yan posted:Is there a german word for anti-schadenfreude? Because that is what this is: I was very excited for this because it opened with every element needed for some dank freude: nighttime, big storm, expensive boats, waves crashing over the dock, no handrails, one hand taken up with camera, etc. It could go so many different places, all beautiful. And then nothing loving happened.

hanales posted:I would assume it has to be his role, as he seems pretty useless as a fighter, or strategist, or anything else, and he doesn't have the force. I'm thinking his "mental conditioning" kicks in and he turns heel, only to return in movie three and saved through the POWER OF LOVE. Hmm. Never considered this but it makes a bit of sense. I thought it would be really cool if he became a non-jedi (or force-using in general) lightsaber expert. We saw Grievious do it (kinda), so it's possible, and I would love to see someone just be a pure sword fighter: no magic and a minimum of guns. And Finn wasn't terrible with the saber despite a complete lack of training.

Okay I know some of you like legal tongue lashings, so here you go: gently caress You, Judge Day: The Court Opinion The gist is that a judge in OR got a high-publicity trial for refusing to marry gay people. Turns out, he did sooooooo much more than that, and the prosecution wasn't even aware of his bigoted marriage policy until partway through their preparation. Well, he is unanimously guilty of a lot of poo poo, and the Opinion that is gonna de-judge him is brutal and hilarious. quote:After Judge Cheryl Pellegrini was appointed to the bench in 2014, Judge Day invited her out to breakfast. Judge Day had been opposed to her appointment. At that breakfast, Judge Day indicated to her that his objections were not due to her qualifications to serve on the bench, but were due to her sexual orientation as a lesbian. Judge Pellegrini was relieved that Judge Day's objection to her appointment did not have to do with her abilities.

I love the title of the video, which is basically "a dashcam filmed an anomalous situation.mp4" You don't loving say.

Cross post from the IoSM thread: Someone tried to scam me by setting up a profile as someone I already knew (hence why the fb chat messages are edited, they used this person's real name and photo). I caught on pretty much instantly, and I strung them on for quite a while. They even had a second person in on it via text. I'm gonna post the first image here, and then the album link:  Rest of album: http://imgur.com/a/m92la I tried to edit out all the personal info, let me know if I miss something. There's no such person as Lauren, btw. I don't care about my google plus image, it's super old and I never use Google plus any more. I left the scammer's number in on purpose. Oh, and facebook deleted their messages shortly after I outed them, so I had to write them back in.

Her Facebook history reveals someone who hates BLM. http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/34602645-75/story.csp Edit: my other favorite part, claims Facebook will "investigate."

The best part is that the dude didn't even say Republicans are racist. He said his entire family is Republican, and they are all racist. He made no attempt to broaden that statement, it was just an anecdote about his crazy racist family. Then the other dude started projecting and getting super defensive, and the comments got that much better. edit: of course the other best part is that Republicans are a race now.

Jew it to it! posted:That's not how you Fosbury Flop at all. Fun Fosbury story that is vaguely related to the thread: my mom went to the same elementary school that he had attended, right as he premiered that move and went to the Olympics. The school was very proud of that connection and asked him to come give a small talk to all the kids, including my mother, who was eight or nine at the time. Apparently all the kids were insanely excited to see him, and basically the instant he showed up they all started screaming and rushed him. I guess instinct took over, on both sides. Cue this poor 20-year-old kid sprinting away from a group of screeching fourth graders, never to return. The whole family still teases my mom for being a part of that.

No schadenfreude, but I got to meet Buck before he died (he gave a talk at my high school near where he lived). Super nice dude, made a lot of jokes about the actor playing him making him look too handsome and too cool.
