Because no judge in history has ever made a decision based on synonyms. I'm all too familiar with how specific wording is in when it's pertinent to the judge's decision, and 'judges are meant to interpret the meaning' when the specific wording would be against a judge's decision. This was stupidity writ in legalese.

Lmao, I had to check which board I was on for a second.

Lol, that was my first thought when I saw the OP. Oglaf is great.

It's a...different(?)... type of multiplayer game.

The sad part is, some people have done that because in their area there was no legal medical assistance. I read an article a few years ago about a person who decided to go out that way. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be clawed by hunger pains for days until death. I've experienced hunger for days while waiting on a paycheck, but until death? That's a whole new level of horror.

While I'm not saying it's a good idea to avoid fines, most cities aren't going to go more than 30 minutes or so to pick up a warrant for fines only. Heck, I've seen warrants that have a little addendum, "in-state pick-up only," when the crime was a highly charged felony.

Is that your only job? And is it career viable or just the current plan. Because, man, that sounds badass. Working outdoors and being Jack Frost? Fun.

Dang, I missed out. I applied for that job somewhere up in Maine, just to get away from hick-ville south USA. I think they thought I was crazy to want to drive that far.

Interesting. Where I'm at any cop can hold you for a psych eval, but they have to have damning evidence that you will hurt yourself or others. I'm pretty sure no cop here, and by extension their department, or the doctor at the hospital, would be willing to risk a lawsuit because you refused to answer questions about a crime. The civil rights violation (because they're retaliating for you taking the 5th), would be a bonus on top of the unlawful detention.

He didn't want the folks who would pay him to suddenly believe they didn't have to pay, or be ticked off that they were having to pay (remember, rich folks can get snippy). I can't remember the number that was floated, but it wasn't cheap.

It's too common these days, and honestly, it's just an evolution of hyphenated names. Why even have the hyphen? Just smoosh 'em together and nobody will notice.

I think there are two types of people who describe dreams: 1) Those who are essentially saying, "Listen to this absurdity, isn't it hilarious/weird?" and 2) those who are trying to pick up insights and think their dreams mean something. It's the difference between reading a fantasy novel that is all about characters, world building, and a cool story, and a fantasy novel where the author is trying to make some point about the real world and how something should or should not be.

I definitely fall in line with OP's sentiments about that second category.

Lol, you say that, but catholic churches are very much known for their fish fry fridays in my area.

I think it would be good, but the whole 'mental' aspect of the magic would be impossible to convey well.

THE CHAIR!

Use of Weapons was definitely one of the best of that style I've ever read.

I could see the new enjoyers of Pern flat out giving it up when the twist happened. Plus, I wouldn't trust the show's makers to not trash the politics of the holds. ::: spoiler spoiler Fantasy -> sci-fi is a pretty big change for a tv audience, I think. :::

I'm pretty sure Tomcats showed that librarians may break skin as well.

At that point I'd say it would be easier to start a book club, and instead of following some dooha's list from up-on-high, the members just share their favorites.

Statements in civil court are admissible. He is allowed to take the 5th if it concerns criminal activity, it's just a bad thing because in civil court the worst is assumed of what was asked.

Not literally, mate. But if you can scam a grandmother out of her money by asking for itunes gift cards, you can bet she'll send an actual check.
