  • I think some do it because they don’t know what else to do with their time honestly. A lot of older folks basically defined their entire existence by their job. Then they retire and have “nothing to do”. They don’t do or have any hobbies.

    Like man, I would love to retire, even better if I could now, while I am young-ish. I could spend the days playing video games, or go walk all the local trails looking for birds and bugs, or just go to all the random little small town festivals in a 100 miles radius listening to all the random live music.

    There is just, a lot in the world out there. But too many have no idea, or they have been hammered all their life that anything not work is frivolous, or they worked themselves to death and just can’t get around anymore.

    It’s sad.










  • I don’t mind the articles, what I mind is annoying though.

    This is paragraph two where I reiterate that I am just annoyed by the actual annoying thing.

    This is the third paragraph, where I reiterate that I don’t mind articles, again, then remind you that I am annoyed by something else.

    This is the seventh paragraph, down at the bottom of the page, where I finally mention my real annoyance is that they don’t make their point until the bottom because they want to get you to read all the repetitive nonsense before hand.

    This is the last paragraph, because I know you will scroll to the bottom looking for the true answer, and I need to hide it, like a reverse of the lead up.










  • I sat on a jury for a murder trial a few years ago. It’s incredible how sloppy it all felt.

    Real life is absolutely not Law & Order where the top cops and prosecutors have a perfect case of evidence and then the killer confesses.

    Two things that stuck out, witnesses in the car, all gave basically the same account, but not one gave the same drugs they picked up at the time they stopped for drugs.

    The defense couldn’t quite decide which direction the car was facing in relation to the other vehicle (it was a drive by)

    Also they had a video from a gas station they stopped at. And it was like… I guess that is a person, it’s not obvious if it’s anyone involved in this case." Because it’s a cheap gas station camera on a roof, not some perfect HD zoom zoom enhance image.
