  1. I was watching Tomorrow on WE. The ending always is a little confusing to me. They concoct a scheme to get Hannah to talk by having the victims' father provide a high priced lawyer for Sarah. And it works, Hannah blurts out everything as the father is leaving with Sarah. But then what? Does he somehow take back the bail for Sarah? Un-retain the high priced lawyer? Did the lawyer he retained know about the scheme? Because if she did, she's unethical. So many questions.

    Also, we do a better job in 2022 acknowledging that most people (including women) are beings with strong drives for partnered sex, and since Jana lives in a culture where by she can’t meet that drive outside of marriage, that’s a big motivator to marry. 

    Or perhaps she is asexual and she finds even the idea of sex repulsive. Or she could be demisexual and needs a deep emotional bond prior to experiencing any sexual attraction.  Not that she'd ever be able to articulate any of this. Instead she may have set ridiculously high and specific criteria for any potential suitor so she can rationalize why they're not the one for her.

    It's daylight saving (no S) time.

    I vote for year-round DST; it gets dark far too early for my happiness this time of year anyway, and then we make it worse by falling back an hour.

    Oops.

    I say we split the difference. Change the time by a half hour and be done with it.

  4. News stories that don't know the difference between daylight saving time and standard time. I've seen reports on three different local news casts about how the recent change to DST affects people. I'm screaming at them, "NO! DST ended over the weekend. We're on standard time now. Get it right."

  5. Let me get this straight. AR won't get vaccinated because he allergic *cough*bullshit*cough* but he will take horse dewormer to "boost his immune system" from a virus.

    Being allergic to an ingredient in the vaccine is a perfectly legitimate reason not to get vaccinated. One would think if AR were truly allergic he would have said that from the beginning so the whole allergic thing is bullshit.

  6. My heart goes out to the victim's family.

    I'm surprised Ruggs and his passenger weren't killed/seriously injured given the speed at impact and the fact they were in a fucking corvette.

    Are there any guesstimates as to how much Boob has dished out so far for Josh's defense?

     

    A whole helluva lot.

    I recently had some standard legal documents (will, power of attorney, etc.) drawn up. It cost over $1000, billed at $275/hr. And that's just a local lawyer in my town in MA.

    I imagine the firm they hired is charging at least twice that as an hourly rate.
