I once went through selection for a trial and told the prosecutor that I did not accept testimony alone as valid evidence as there has been shown to be far too many issues with it over the years.
I was dismissed before the woman sitting next to me whose answer to the question about relationships to law enforcement started with her husband being a judge, her kids were both cops, and she herself was homeland security.
A few years ago while cleaning out my late grandmother’s house, I found a physical book which was just a listing and description of various websites.
If you search the handle that’s in the screenshot, you can very quickly find what looks to be a legit email address for her.
Maybe one of those hookers is doing it to to pay her way through college and then law school. Her goal in life is to become lawyer working for charities and doing pro bono work for those that need help.
I’ve seen the CTO of my company straight up use Claude to respond to slack messages.
“… Go to Mum’s. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to The Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.”
I suddenly hanker for a campaign with the most cliche and over the top backstory for every character.
I for one, would like to hear more.
The answer is apparently yes(ish) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Path_of_Totality
More that just “… a lot of people…” NIST themselves published real research backing this up over a decade ago.
There’s something to be said for the idea that the more intelligent someone is, the better they are at rationalizing the things they believe.
Quick pedantic note if I may, right to work and at will employment are two separate things, both shitty.
At will - company can fire you for nearly any reason without notice.
Right to work - workers cannot be forced to join a labor union as a condition of their employment. This is used to weaken labor unions.
They do intersect as having a union can help prevent shitty firings.
What the fuck. That’s some serious persistence.
Oh they hit me up a couple of weeks ago. So far no follow-ups, but we’ll see…
All I know is that if I stopped showing up to work for this long and there was this much doubt as to my state of being, my access and accounts would for sure be shut off and my paychecks would stop coming.
You are entirely correct and I should have known better since I posted that comment and then immediately went and watched the second episode. I’ll blame being overly tired 😂.
Both are from the new “The Ghost in the shell” anime which is airing right now. It’s a new series which is much more faithful to the manga.
All good, I didn’t intend my statement as a criticism, just passing along a neat factoid I found after getting curious. Apologies if it came across that way :)
As others have pointed out, Elliott isn’t cast as Achilles. I was curious who he was cast as and it’s Sinon, the Greek who tricked the Trojan’s into bringing the horse inside the city of Troy. Fun fact, Sinon is in neither the Iliad nor the oddesey. He’s described in the Aeneid.
Under God wasn’t even part of the original pledge. It was added in the 1950s iirc.
