Is that...a single kid haul? That's got to be 350ish individual pieces. Either they've been trick or treating for hours or your neighborhood has an incredible per-visit take! That's, like, double pillowcase volume, too.

You know that scene in Ratatouille where the critic takes one bite and snaps back in time? Yeah. That.

Lots of folks ate raccoon then, though. It might not have been something Coolidge did on the regular, but it would be a legit question to address.

"Crash" by itself is used a lot, too, but "crash out" is also pretty common and has been used a long time.

While the tiktok folks might be doing just that, using "crash out" to go to sleep is at least decades old, no?

Fair enough, and I'll take your word for the general policies and requirements of the hearing, since that's well outside any of my areas of expertise. From the layman's standpoint, though, it's hard to grasp that it's ok to present third party messags as if they were from the victim directly.

The problem isn't the utility of the statement, it's the misleading presentation of third party information as if it was from the victim. It fundamentally cannot present anything about the victim, family, or relationships, or even anything relevant at all because it is from an unrelated third party.

You should be embarrassed, because this is such an idiotic usage. Instead of an expensive, slow, and very unreliable AI process, you could've actually, y'know, scripted it directly! If you're such an invertebrate bandwagoner that you wanted AI in the mix, you could've asked it to write your scripts!
