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.

Its the absurd generalizations that are the problem.

If the parking was obstructing something else you can report it to enforcement for towing/ticketing or the owners of the lot. If it was not obstructing something else then you are being ridiculous and trying to put people in their place. I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)

Leaving a note and running away is passive. I see what you mean, but disagree.

Its stupid and petty. By calling out an asshole this way you show yourself as also being an asshole. Resorting to passive aggressive name calling and insults from mild inconvenience is not a good look.

AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn't curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.

They killed my favorite app "rif", so I started using the web version. Then they made the web version almost unusable with the "open this in our app" banner on every page which was the last straw for me. Can't use third party apps, and the web version is constantly nagging you to not use it? Stupid. Now I just use Lemmy on Firefox and have had 0 issues.

This bullshit should not be allowed in the bicycle lane.

She will be long gone by then if she is released. Our laws are not sufficient for this level of high corruption.
