I would be remiss if I did not point out how amazing this guy is for being such a good wingman for his fish. You don't want to date him? Fine. He's got 23 fish to introduce to you. They are tropical as fuck and ready to mingle. No hard feelings.

This guy... I'm taking notes. Can't have fish cos roomies' cats but in any case. Yiss...

One Tropical-as-Fuck Fish

Swagger. He's got it

Counterpoint: Fat shaming DID make me lose weight, by helping give me a spectacular eating disorder! Yay!

I love reading Miss Manners on the subject. "Should I tell my friend she's fat?" "Why? Do you think she hasn't noticed?" If you see something wrong with someone's appearance, the rule is that you can mention it only if the person can immediately fix the problem. Since no one is going to step into another room and…

SA has various standards of Homicide. Those in play here are Premeditated Murder (found not guilty), common law murder by reason of dolus eventualis (also not guilty), culpable homicide (not ruled, probably guilty).

Fascinating to see how other systems work. Why split the verdict up between two days. That seems awful for everyone involved. I think of our recent Governor Bob trial and can't imagine if we'd had a different day for all 13 counts.

Except he isn't getting off yet. It just means he didn't commit premeditated murder, which would be really hard to prove. They are still pursuing lower charges (their version of manslaughter). She will still probably get justice.

Right. And OJ and Casey Anthony probably wouldn't have "gotten away with it" if the prosecutors in their cases hadn't gone for murder-1. The US judicial system is so strange. I'd rather prosecutors go for a lower charge that they're sure will stick than go for the higher (more popular with the masses) charge that…

I don't think the justice found that he didn't intentionally commit premeditated murder, only that the prosecution had failed to prove that he did.

Before everyone gets up in arms with the "HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER" (not true) brouhaha, this seems like the right decision from a legal standpoint. I have no idea how you could prove this was premeditated given the circumstances. A manslaughter-esque/murder 2-esque conviction seems much more appropriate. **He's still…

"How much do you want to bet that Steven has never had to work hard at a job in his life and that he came from a privileged background?"

Make it six. At the end of three, you can still feel human emotions like ... hope.

How much do you want to bet that Steven has never had to work hard at a job in his life and that he came from a privileged background?

USCCB is one of the most fundamentalist and conservative Catholic organisations ever, but they are woefully out of touch with lay Catholics.

Yes! I think there seems to be an extreme idea of what "dressed up" means on this thread. It's not a three piece suit and monocle; full-length gown and stilettos! It's wearing something that is comfortable, and will get you through airport security quickly. There are many options under that umbrella besides something…

How kinky are whales?

...no Free Willy joke?
