As someone who just turned 40 and been single for 8 years, this is very promising!

DUI. I was dismissed during jury selection, i think from questioning the accuracy and last calibration date of the breathalyzer device when they asked what I would want to know about during the trial.

That was after someone else was pleading emotionally with the judge/attorneys to dismiss them because of a family member being killed by a drunk driver. The jury member said they would be unfair and vote guilty no matter what, and the judge argued their perspective was important for the jury. They were selected.

No conclusions here. It was an interesting process and I was only there an hour or two.

This bullshit should not be allowed in the bicycle lane.

Its comments like this that made me finally go and purchase The Outer Worlds a few months ago. Going in blind and within 10 minutes I'm thinking, what is this bullshit?!?! I have yet to try the right game yet but that always makes me laugh.

However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don't convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

What does this even mean (I'm afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they're going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I'll be using "-site:reddit.com" more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else...this is pathetic.

The passenger car division is 78% owned by a Chinese company. I don't understand the "buy European" angle here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Cars

An arms length. We used to be sorted be height and you put your arm out and shuffle in until just touching with your finger tips. Then arms down and you are at attention and in formation.

I live alone and one of these biscuit containers popped open inside my fridge by itself! It was pretty loud as it rattled a bunch of other glass in there, but I didn't realize what it was at first. I was sure someone banged on my window and was super paranoid all night. Scared the hell out of me lol so dumb.

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and "don't lock your knees" is often taught first thing.

I recently saw a pigeon doing its mating ritual trying to attract another pigeon in my yard. That other pigeon had been dead for over a week! That didn't stop the mating attempt. This is also how I picture trump.

Sir, I have seen my entire living room melt before my eyes, and the size of objects was so distorted I thought I had shrunk below my furniture. I heard voices all night from the outside thinking someone had found me. I also wandered outside and fell in love with the grass and the midnight dew but thought I was in a different world. I've also completely lost my vision due to visions and globs/blobs of color and realized it can completely remove you from reality and provide a solid ego death. I was riding rainbows and did not recognize a single object around me.

I don't think you are giving them enough credit, although I am also skeptical depending on the dosage.
