  • Not going to lie, I like the clean look of the millenial house more. We collectively grew up in clutter, where your grandma would have weird porcelain dolls, or a cabinet to display her fine china.

    My grandpa had a taxidermied pheasant, great horned owl, and a coyote pelt on his living room wall.

    Nothing wrong with all that, it's just weird as a kid.

    Our parents generation hoarded shit, because their parents lived through the depression. That has its own value but it gets overwhelming.

  • Just wait until I get my package of live termites in the mail! I ordered it off of amazon while I was working from home!

  • I'm not going to try and defend my take; i acknowledge it's a shitty one, and I'll own it. My original comment was poorly worded, though, when it comes to my stance. "I'm not trying to argue that this is a good or fair way to think. I'm just trying to clarify what I meant in my original comment.

    My baseline is that they're likely guilty, not that I blindly believe they're guilty simply for being in a court room. I'm suspicious by nature, and the fact that you're being tried (and that they have enough evidence to bring you to court) doesn't lend itself to me believing your innocence. This clearly conflicts with the innocent until proven guilty concept, which makes me a poor juror to select.

    I also take a lot of stock in evidence - which by its nature points to someone having done a given action. Not necessarily the person on trial, however. My point is that it's easier to prove a positive than it is to prove a negative (i.e., innocence).

    So it's more of: I think you probably did this, and I believe what I can see and measure (and those things frequently point to guilty) than you're guilty before you even take the stand.

    If they have good evidence, like CCTV photo or something putting the accused far away from the crime, obviously my stance would change. What I was trying to [poorly] get at in my first comment is my suspicious nature. That pre-disposition makes a bad juror to select. That nature may not be fair, and it's a character flaw, certainly.

  • I'm of the mind that if you're being criminally tried, your likely guilty. Not always, obviously, but that's enough to say to get me off any jury.

  • That quote lives rent free. So fucking creepy lol

  • Beehaw is by approval only for accounts. They're really clear about this, but they also went through a huge defederation with a lot of big instances.

  • Man, I agree with your comment you left there; he needs to get over himself.

    While I didn't read his whole rant, I read a good bit of it. He does have a point, in that he's not obliged to accommodate users, and nor are we obliged to use his client.

    This is basically history repeating itself again with the Beehaw defederation. Fitting with the motifs associated with history repeating itself, the repeat is a temu knock off of the original.

    In both cases it seems pretty immature, at least in approach, but structure isn't necessarily bad and it's a big ocean.
