Terry Pratchett him diamond!

What a lovely note on which to start a wonderful journey together!

I saw the original in 2013 in theater. Vividly recall how it gave me anxiety the entire second half. I always hold it up as an adaptation job done right. Glad to see it getting so much love… remakes going international rather than the other way 😃

Wow! If all you need is 1 in 12, I think he’ll fancy his odds. What a time to be alive…

I hope he decided to shake things up and name his kid Evan Moore Highley Devine?

Maybe so, but you still can’t kill someone for what they might or might not do in the future

Well, then this promises to be an interesting trial, at the very least

There’s very good reason why civilians are not allowed to kill other civilians. Attacking an unarmed man from behind and choking him until he died isn’t the flex people think it is. Regardless of the priors the victim had or had not. Just another way of devaluing the victim’s life.

The gun I’m referring to is the gun used in the murder of the UHC CEO. Which is what my original question was about - even if a case is open-and-shut, can jurors still acquit? Wade into a conversation all you like, but at least take some time to understand the context.

You’re right, although in this case the jurors could say “he didn’t meant to do it, it was an accident” and similar excuses. But here it’s a literal murder with a gun and everything. Could sympathetic jurors possibly find a way around that?

Ironically, it was From Software’s Sekiro which helped me get past that mental block. By forcing me to die over and over again, and making failure an essential stepping stone to success, it helped me break some very unhealthy patterns. Part of why they have a lifelong fan in me.

I’ve always wondered, can (or will) a jury actually vote to acquit in an open-and-shut case? Even after all the evidence is laid out, black-and-white, can the jury still go “I’m not sure he did it”?

When I moved to Madrid back in 2020, I found a nice little apartment in a lovely neighborhood called Tetuan. Told an Indian friend who had moved six months earlier, who sniffily told me that Tetuan was “full of immigrants” 🙄🙄

Did he get his extension tho? If I were a betting person, the odds would be in his favor 😄
