Do jury members even have to do that? I was on a jury for an attempted murder case and never had to be sworn in. And why would I have had to, since it's not like the jury is testifying?

Zipperelli. posted:So my friend who's TOTALLY NOT ME bought this dumb poo poo, and now I - I MEAN HE - is regretting it. This reminds me of when I was 12/13 and we first got the internet (so like 1997/1998) and I navigated to "playboy.com" and soon after our internet stopped working for unrelated reasons. I was convinced that it was because I had gone to a porn site while under the age of 18 and that the police were gonna show up any day now.

EmmyOk posted:Not wanting children is very understandable as you say but as soon as people start grouping up and using special terms to refer to people outside that group then you know they've gone a bit off. I feel like if someone frequently mentions the fact they don't want to have kids in a context where it wasn't provoked by someone else (for example someone else asking them about it), there's either 1. probably some insecurity behind it or 2. they're a young person trying to be edgy or something. Like, not wanting to have kids is totally fine (I probably don't myself), but people normally don't go out of their way to mention that sort of thing unless they feel like they have something to prove. I would even go as far as to say that the people who are particularly obnoxious about it (with the aforementioned "crotchspawn/breeders" stuff and the childfree folks) often secretly want to have a family and just tell themselves how terrible it is as a way to cope with not having their desires fulfilled. Sorta like someone who doesn't get something they want and then says "WELL I DIDN'T REALLY WANT IT ANYWAYS."

I had a stdh when I was a kid/early teen where I had this sort of embellished or outright false memory* of totally owning this bully in 5th/6th grade by moving out of the way when he was trying to ram me into a locker or something, causing the bully to run into the locker instead. I had completely convinced myself this actually happened, until actually taking the time to doubt and reexamine the story when I got older. I think many stdh things are like this, in that the person actually genuinely believes something happened because they've integrated the story into their identity and it doesn't really benefit them to be skeptical and examine the story more closely. My dad has a bunch of these stories, and the annoying thing is you can't really debunk most of them (though occasionally you come across one that shows up on Snopes or something as an urban legend). *I also had this false memory of having some sort of leading role in a play in elementary school, and this memory stuck around until I was a grown adult. I was genuinely confused when I mentioned it to my parents and they told me "uh, you were never in any plays, even as a supporting role." Like, somehow this memory was just fabricated whole cloth, and I don't remember it ever being a conscious decision on my part. Ytlaya has a new favorite as of 09:18 on Sep 1, 2017 |

TheMostFrench posted:ikr, it's so awkward when I try to tell a regular person about how I spent saturday night refreshing my control panel to keep up to date with posts in the latest photoshop threads or something. Back in 2007 I was doing a college internship (was a programming thing at this national laboratory) and browsing the forums some while at work (I registered in 2005 in sophomore year of college). I was reading the exercise/diet subforum (it was called something different back then) and I remember someone had a big red text avatar that said "BIG AND BLACK." My boss walked in while I had this open and I (technically correctly, I guess) explained what I was reading a fitness/weight-lifting forum as way to explain the "BIG AND BLACK." My boss talked about how he reads forums about ice fishing. I'll never know if he thought I was looking at some sort of porn/sex-related forum or something, but I was kind of in a panic at the time. Fortunately it didn't actually cause any problems; I was doing well at the job and the zillion other times he had come by I had been in the middle of work so the browsing itself wasn't an issue.

I remember in 6th grade my friend would do this thing where he'd go "frog" and hit me in the shoulder (this was apparently a thing?) and it really pissed me off and one day I just flipped out and said "frog this!" started stabbing him (in the arm) with a (fortunately dull) pencil. Even as a 12 year old I had the sense to realize that I had totally spazzed out and felt embarrassed about it afterwards. Ytlaya has a new favorite as of 23:48 on Jun 21, 2018 |
