  • women don’t wash their hands as often

    I could believe this. Not saying the men’s are much better as I’d say they’re definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women’s restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.



  • It’s not even good for searches. It used to be solid for finding a starting point with research, but that has somehow gotten even worse. The summaries it provides are awful, it’s so incredibly inaccurate. Unfortunately the two biggest legal search engines lexisnexis and westlaw are shoving it down your throat whether you want it or not.



  • Is this case being prosecuted by the actual AG?

    There’s two cases, and one technically is. One of his cases is at the state level, and the other is at the federal. The AG isn’t directly involved, but they do oversee the one at the federal level.

    In theory as someone else said federal cases belong to “everyone” or the country, the United States. Of course, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t biases or politics being involved.

    Anyways, the AG and DOJs involvement doesn’t amount to as much as people let on. The case was filed under the last administrations DOJ and there’s not much a change in leadership there can change regarding the case. They can change assigned personnel or change the overall approach, such as sentencing or the death penalty, but that’s about it. Bondi did make the push for the death penalty, publicly even, and they’re taking advantage of that, but it’s not entirely unlikely that it wouldn’t have been requested regardless of who was at the helm.




  • Not particularly.

    There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.

    I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.









  • It’s not so black and white. It really depends. There needs to be communication between both parties.

    It’s perfectly fine if one person says, “I can’t do this. I can’t go through with this.” Asking someone to stay by you until you die, or to carry the burden of your disability or sickness is a lot. If there’s a conversation held about it and one person wants out then it’s fine.

    One person simply leaving the moment it’s announced is a bit much though, especially if they decide to come back. As someone else said, it’s called having tact.
