Unfortunately judges can be corrupted too. They can accept bribes to rule favorably and their clerks can charge unsolicited fees to lose files or giving access to judicial decisions before they’re scheduled to release.

Absolute power currupts absolutely.

Yeah, I experience this all the time. I’ve got dozens of interests and I often find myself in the same situation where I’ve put too much energy into research and now I don’t have any left for actually doing it.

Here’s what I do, I take a day away from whatever it is and the next day I put together the smallest thing I can do, rather than the best. It’s even better if you can just use what you already have, supplies and research included.

In your case, cooking is perfect for this way of doing things. You can play with the recipe as you’re making it. And unless you’re dealing with raw meat at that moment, you can taste as you go to get everything just right. I recommend a simple vegetable soup. There’s almost always some vegetables laying around in my fridge or cupboard and there’s so many ways you can make it yours. Some veggies, tomatoes, water, and a couple spices is the simplest way.

After that, try swapping some parts out, maybe broth instead of water, or throw in some chopped chicken, or swap tomatoes for heavy cream and a pinch of flour, or play with the amount of ingredients, maybe more tomatoes and less veggies, or more veggies and less water.

I hope this helps and I’m sorry this is so long. Cooking is one of my favorite things and I think everyone should get to enjoy making their own food.

The scary movie that got me was No Man’s Land. A serial killer kills himself to avoid being taken to prison and his ghost traps the whole town while he goes on a killing spree.

I watched it again years later and it wasn’t nearly as scary as I remembered. I was like 12 and it was 2 in the morning, so it chilled my sleep deprived self to the bone.

Oddly enough, this movie wasn’t what gavee the worst nightmare I ever had. That honor belongs to the kids show Chalk Zone. The episode with the pink, hair eating frogs scared me in my dreams so bad I still get goosebumps just remembering it.

Man, it almost felt like I was back on reddit. Ngl I kinda missed getting into or reading heated arguments over dumb things.

Yeah, I never liked them. They’re designed to keep you in their app as long as possible, not to get matched with people you actually vibe with.

I met my fiance through a hookup app, but that was a complete fluke. The app didn’t help me get to know him any better than it did for anyone else I met. It was mostly our time spent together in person that made me fall in love enough to propose. As soon as we started dating, I deleted that app and never looked back.

I haven’t ever talked to a furry that was younger, but I did introduce my little cousin to SWAT Kats. I wasn’t around when it aired, but they did reruns on boomerang and I watched it every time I could stay up late.

This show was possibly what made me into a furry. Callie Briggs was my first cartoon crush and Chance is probably what gave me my type for guys

You’ll have to ask me after I do it, I’m not sure how I’ll feel

An enema every day would absolutely ruin your gut health. How did anyone ever listen to that guy?

I wish the whole world would just drop Microsoft office like the bad product it is and went to libre. Yeah, it was innovative when it first hit the scene, but now it’s just become stale and pointlessly expensive.

Idk. The us population definitely isn’t aligned with the us government or vice versa.

Jokes aside, that’s pretty interesting. I didn’t know that’s where those terms came from

The US really is becoming a third world country by the day, isn’t it. God I hate it here

Not op, but I’d say it’s easy to guess why people care about numbers so much. Main reason is because it feels like making a statement and that feels good. It’s a tiny amount of effort for a bigger dopamine reward.

It’s just as easy to guess why people don’t care about them either. They don’t affect anything and can feel meaningless as a result. It just depends on the person

He also will lose an eye, so he’ll have plenty to be grumpy about

I can’t say for sure it’s the song you mean, but rich men north of Richmond has suddenly popped into my feed and it’s a damn good song. It really resonates with me about working to death just to survive.

To be clear, I’d love to listen to your special interests as well. It was just a funny coincidence you mentioned a country song everyone is obsessed with on the same day I came across it too

Honestly at this point, even a low corruption government seems harder than balancing a boulder on a toothpick for the super powers of the world

You might wanna check the usernames. I never asked why you carry coins around. I don’t even carry them. I just take them home and put them in a jar to save until there’s enough to exchange

No, you obviously don’t do it after every transaction. You save the change until you have plenty saved up and then exchange it for bills. This is what like every single person does.

What a strange person

The first one I get, but the rest have issues.

The giving water to voters thing is for political candidates. Gift giving is by far the most effective way to manipulate people into doing what you want. That’s why Jehovah’s witnesses give you a free book when they’re on mission.

Peaceful public assembly is litterally protected by the constitution. That doesn’t stop police from declaring peaceful assembly a riot and shutting it down, but that’s a different matter.

Arguing with cops never gets you anywhere good. Likewise insulting them to their face.

Nazis are objectively wrong and bad, but their right to peacefully assemble in public is just as protected as yours. Attacking them unprovoked is assault even if you have the moral high ground.

I agree with the spirit of everything you said. It’s just that vigilante justice just flat out doesn’t work. You become an example of your party’s supposedly blatant corruption and now they have someone to rally against. In most cases laws need to be changed, not broken.

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think that’s what the meme was meaning. I think it meant when you leave empty handed, it looks like you’re shoplifting. That makes you nervous and you start acting weird which makes you look even more suspicious and more nervous. Wash, rinse, and repeat till you get home and cry because social situations are awkward and hard and life would be so much easier if I was alone on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in that one movie.

… I might’ve lost track towards the end, but you get the idea.

I’d say just to pay attention to the information anyone is giving you. Keep what’s relevant and make good use of it. Learn from what isn’t relevant anymore and have a discussion about why it’s not relevant.

Our elders have so much experience. Even if some of it isn’t directly helpful to you, there’s still so much of the human experience that hasn’t ever and will never change. Things like relationships, survival, hope, struggle, addiction, passion, and so much more.
