I’m especially confused about the judge’s comment that the officer didn’t “intend” any crime to happen. That’s what the criminal negligence charge was for- you don’t need to intend to hurt someone, you just need to act in a way that disregards their safety.

There are several such “separations.”

Throwing a cell phone is a better analogy? Why? B/c a cell phone flying through the air and a several thousand pound vehicle moving at a high speed are equally dangerous? Were you high when you wrote this?

Yeah, if you actually hurt someone there are additional charges that you could be hit with.

Beg pardon? He was ACTUALLY driving recklessly not just thinking about doing it in the future.

At the risk of being lit on fire, I haven’t been into sports very long (I’m an early 30s female lawyer so not exactly the NFL’s target demo). A few years ago I joined a fantasy league to try to make friends in a new office and I LOVED it. I love NFL just for the moments of fucking insane athleticism. Fantasy is also a…

Do you think lately though (in the last few years since South American Malbecs have really become a “thing” in the U.S.) that a lot of lower priced Malbecs seem like they are injecting with purple food coloring and ethanol? And at the same time the marketing has gotten a little ridiculous (like really, do you need…

It’s my favorite thing to open a bottle at home, taste it right away, then just have a sip every 5-10 minutes for the next 30-60 or so minutes. It works well with cooking, when my hands are busy anyway, and I can see how the taste changes over time which my nerdbrain loves.

Yeah it’s bizarre that the article says decanting does nothing, but then instructs you to swirl the wine around in your glass to aerate it.

I’m a Lions fan and I thought you HAD to be full of shit with that statistic. 1991 and 1957 were the last 2 playoff wins . . . Jesus Christ.

Just for the record, the frying method seems to give the best results.

This is going to sound weird but: I love older people! My husband and I are often doing activities that have an older crowd and we’re always really comfortable.

Aw :( I don’t really use it but I like “mama.” One of my friends has a 1-yr-old and I’m pregnant with my first. Whenever I’m complaining and she’s being supportive and awesome she uses “mama” like you would “girl.” (As in “you got this, girl/mama.)

I would laugh in someone’s fucking face if they suggested it to me. Which explains a lot about my relationships, I guess.

I strongly prefer a manual transmission, but when I lived in Chicago- fuck that. It is NOT fun to inch through bumper to bumper traffic, especially in my junky old car where I had to depress the clutch approximately 70 fucking feet to shift.

I love this quote, and I still make the “BZZZZ” noise when I need my husband to get out of my face.

I lived with a girl in law school who had a framed letter on her wall congratulating her for her 4.0 GPA in her philosophy program. She was a fucking idiot.

Your comment makes it seem like a STEM or professional degree actually costs more money than your “bullshit arts degree.” Is that what you meant?

The guy was kind of being a twat but this article is so twatty and the person he was responding to was also really twatty, so I’ll allow it in this case.

Obviously everyone can’t major in those but this entire article seems to assume technical degrees don’t exist.
