  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • Not every low IQ person is the same, but generally they are just frustrating to deal with and need a lot of slow, extra handholding. If you give them a paper with directions/explanations, they're not going to read it and try to understand it. They're going to ask you to explain it, and they may just give up on trying to understand it. If you need them to look something up and figure it out for themselves, they just won't. If there's a consequence, they don't modify their behavior or seem to care. They'll do what they'll do, and whatever happens after will happen after. They operate through the world with really poor understandings of everything that goes on around them, and it doesn't bother them. Someone else will tell them what to do.

  • It's Thursday 05/28/2026. Hey, What's Going On!

  • It's mostly observing different hearings, but we also have two research assignments for the judge. We're going to get to observe a manufacturing defect jury trial next week.

  • That's awesome! We're going to see an Alfred Hitchcock movie this weekend, and I started my summer job. It's going chill.

  • Should I warn people that I am a narcissist and have antisocial behavior

    Jump

  • No one is perfect. You are not alone or uniquely problematic in struggling with certain behaviors you don't like about yourself. We don't generally need to publicize our flaws up front. Rather than just telling them you are X negative trait, I think asking for specific safeguards that can help would be appropriate. Like, let's say you often lie to get out of aspects of work you don't like- be upfront with your limits on what you are able to tolerate and where you may not be able to.

  • How dangerous is to travel to the US nowadays?

    Jump

  • You didn't say why they're coming. That matters. If they're coming for soccer-related stuff, they may take a while to interview but they should pass through. In general, the US has millions of people traveling in and out of it per day. Most people don't have any issue. It's just that now, instead of only suspect people having issues, any random person can have an issue because of immigration enforcement quotas. The officers generally don't care about you, the individual they arrest, at all. They arrest white American citizens without any legal authority. They're just boosting their arrest quota. So, if something happens, it'll be by random chance of the officer not caring about their job.

  • What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passion

    Jump

  • Insurance claims adjusters.

  • How do I prepare to go broke?

    Jump

  • Call your parents and go home. If they won't send money, get a line of credit and go home.

  • Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it?

    Jump

  • That's poor emotional regulation/lashing out. Anger issues. Short-tempered, belligerent, possible mental health disorder.

  • how much money is there in total?

    Jump

  • up until yesterday i had assumed that the total amount of money in the world is zero ($0) because what one person has in bank account, another person has in debt at the same time, since money is literally nothing else than a codified form of debt.

    Nah, money is constantly growing. Whenever anyone does anything of value, there is more money. People are alive and doing things every second of every day. Unless there's a catastrophic bubonic-plague level event, the total value of money in the world is constantly increasing.

  • Why are we OK with doctors and nurses working double or triple shifts?

    Jump

  • Because the alternative is the rich paying more in taxes, and we can't have that obviously.

  • Yeah, having relatively higher socioeconomic equality is going to reduce crimes of poverty. That's what you're seeing in Norway. More money does not fix a brain defect that makes a person want to hurt the people around them 24 hours per day. That article is dealing with a completely different group of people and a completely different moral concern.

  • None of this should be construed as advocating for violence:

    When you don't kill him, you're causing more suffering to be inflicted on dozens, hundreds of other people because you don't want to make a tough call. Human suffering is a morally complicated situation that doesn't have winners. There's never going to be a perfect solution to human nature. The death penalty wasn't trying to be one- it was a simple community management tool. It prioritized the wellbeing of the whole over the individual.

  • What would happen if you unveil the iPhone 17 in 1905?

    Jump

  • The late 1800s/early 1900s was an era of technological progress. The camera, the airplane, the radio, new manufacturing enabled high rise designs like we'd never had before, high speed rail was redefining cities and towns. They were beginnings of the progress that we have today. I think they would be proud, not surprised.

    What's the difference between the UK justice system and the U.S. justice system?

    Jump

  • Not just judges! Also the coroner! Think about what kind of nasty shit goes down when the government lies about when someone dies. Many small towns across the US had that issue in the 1900s, so a lot of states replaced the position with a medical examiner (requires an actual medical degree to be licensed).

  • What's your favorite movie?

    Jump

  • My favorite is As Good As It Gets (1997 rom com), but with the blatant homophobia and unlikable main character it's not for everybody.

    For general watching, I'd recommend:

    Get Out (horror mystery with good metaphors)

    Knives Out (silly whodunnit comedy)

    Eyes Wide Shut (classic psychological horror with, uh, an unforgettable premise)

    Midsommar (breakup film with swedish cult horror vibes, women-coded)

    Parasite (on the off chance you haven't seen it, I would vote it best film of the 2010s)

    What's the difference between the UK justice system and the U.S. justice system?

    Jump

  • That is more "something that happens" in rural areas than intentional by design. In a lot of the US, judges are elected positions. In the majority of states, non-lawyers are allowed to run, but in competitive districts it'd be difficult to win without the bar association's recommendation.

    What's the difference between the UK justice system and the U.S. justice system?

    Jump

  • Generally, they're struggling with the same issues of being severely under-staffed and under-funded to the point where they can't really function without a "McJustice" style system. They recently stopped are considering ending jury trials for sentences less than 3 years.** You only get a judge. However, the UK has MUCH shorter sentences than the US (because American long sentences are outside the global norm and generally just irrational). The average length of a sentence to jail is under 2 years, so most people will never get a jury trial.

    Also, unlike in the US, law graduates require a "pupilage" position under someone else before they're allowed to practice, and only about 5-10% of law grads receive them.

    Should businesses (big or small) be allowed to kick you out because of your speech?

    Jump

  • You can be banned from private property for anything. That is a basic right of owning property. If anyone can go onto your property without your consent, it's not your property. If you want to go on someone's else's private property, you have to follow their rules. That goes likewise for your own property.

    Have you ever met or heard of people with very high intelligence?

    Jump

  • IQ tests are pretty meaningless. They were designed for and by the white middle upper class, and you can study for them. Behind the Bastards is doing a series on H. L. Hunt. He became the richest oil tycoon in the world in part thanks to his photographic memory and in part thanks to his gambling addiction.
