I think 2024 is going to bring lots of lols from the Trump trials, and I’m going to try to learn a lot more things in all different categories, karaoke songs, language skills, and basic dance steps since my feet coordination is hot garbage.

Whether that's at HC or elsewhere, they need to reevaluate something that they're doing, because whatever it is ain't it Overdrafting Pickett and backing him up with cafeteria trash was probably part of it.

I represented a murderer, post-trial, post-appeal, pre-resentencing. He was 18 and had just become an Eagle Scout when he tried to impress some friends by helping them rob a taxi driver, but then shot the guy in the back of the head afterwards for no discernible reason. The friends flipped on him, his own parents were basically forced to testify against him, just all around lovely situation.

We watched the entire Ken Burns Civil War documentary. There's a lot of it. For the WWI section, our teacher had us play a modified game of Diplomacy, which was an interesting exercise. Basically assigned groups of 1-3 people to a European country, which had a point value, and then the challenge was to get a coalition to a certain threshold; allowed whatever means necessary to get people/groups on your side, outside of physical violence. There was some good back-and-forth backstabbery, wish I could remember what the end result was.

Bird in a Blender posted:I know this is pipe dream stuff, but the only way I see state hood happening for Guam, or any of the other Pacific Ocean territories, is them joining Hawaii. Even if they combined Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands into one state, you're still only looking at like 250,000 people total, less than half of Wyoming, and separated by 1,000 miles of ocean. Funny trivia, sort of: Guam's residents only became US citizens back in 1950 because the Navy found out it was a violation of international law to forcefully seize land from non-citizens, and they needed to grab a lot of it post WWII for their bases/facilities. Guam's Commission on Decolonization, which was set up back in the 90's to figure out the statehood/status quo/independence question, is still no closer to having an actual vote than it was thirty years ago. Stapling the CNMI and Am. Samoa together with Guam would be a logistical nightmare. Look at the distance from Guam/CNMI to American Samoa. Look at it. Now realize that you're likely looking at a map and not a globe, and figure in that traveling along the equator is something that adds time to any trip. And that's if you have a direct flight, which we do not, and would likely not have in the forseeable future. Not even going to touch the whole 'massively different culture' part of the issue. Honestly the best way to go about it would be to invent a new classification, like 'principality' or some poo poo, where the current non-voting delegate to hte House becomes a voting delegate, and each territory gets 1 electoral college vote.

Ether Frenzy posted:I just sold my spec script of a Sandra Bullock romcom based on the premise of meeting the wrong guy on a blind date because there were two restaurants named the same thing and one of them doesn't get that joke because they also have not seen Chinatown, like me. This leads to all sorts of adventures We had a weird IRL version of this, where we were living with a roommate named Paul who did couch surfing; he gets a text one day from our mutual friend in the Northern Marianas Islands, Keith, who says he's currently hosting an Icelandic woman who happens to be staying with Paul (us) the next day, as she is trying to visit every country in the world, and asks if Paul is going to pick her up from the airport at 6PM. Paul, who can be absentminded on the best of days, agrees, despite not remembering to host anyone that week. He brings her home, we all go out for drinks and dinner, have a wonderful time. The next morning, she gets an angry text from a guy named Paul who was the actual guy she was supposed to be couch surfing with. Apologies go all around, she heads out to have lunch with Actual Paul, but it turns out he's a complete dickhead, so she stays with us for the next few days. So now if we ever go to Iceland, we know someone who runs a yoga/horse riding retreat, so we got that going for us. She did make it to every country in the world, too.

I was a math whiz as a kid, perfects on SAT/ACT math, 5 on the AP Calc exam, and then hit some major wall in college Calc 2 or 3, whatever the one is that just has you solving derivatives like some f'ed up combination lock that maybe opens and maybe doesn't, at least in the first go-around. The only exam in my life that I'm pretty sure I failed, despite having a A-/B+ going into that final, ending up with a C, just couldn't get any of the equations to click on the first try. Probably didn't help that the TA teaching the class openly despised everyone in it. I had a major crush on one of my classmates, who I tutored, and who ended up with a far better grade than I did. She went on to become a dentist, and her husband became a partner in her dad's law firm. I saw them randomly in Hawaii when visiting my dad at his last dental conference. That grade, combined with difficulty w redox reactions, is why I went from premed to prelaw.

Despite heavy running and hill climbing four days a week, my quads get toasted by snowboarding. Probably doesn't help that I'm newer to boarding, and skiied for 10+ years before switching over. If I'm doing a multi-day thing, there's significant tail-off by the end, with some of my last runs ending with my thighs quaking. Having an arch spur right where the boot strap comes over the top doesn't help things either. Still infinitely better than trying to walk around in ski boots carrying four pieces of equipment versus one in snowboarding boots.
