It’s weird how sometimes y’all will engage with an AI image like it’s real without further discussion
Looks pretty real to me. The text on the bag is readable and a real brand.
I’ve only served on jury duty once, and it was kinda fucked up. Child abuse case, and we were all kinda on the fence leaning toward defendant was guilty, but the evidence presented was just absolute dogshit. Lots of reasonable doubts.
Found the dude not guilty on the premise that we’d rather let a guilty piece of shit off the hook than risk convicting someone who’s innocent, but it felt real fuckin icky to give that verdict over what was most likely just a lazy investigation by the cops.
Hope the kid turned out okay… must have absolutely zero faith in the legal system because of that.
You did the right thing. It’s also important that cops and prosecutors do their job and stop relying on horrible accusations to be enough to convict anyone they want.
We’re close enough to the French https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror as it is. I still think Al Franken really didn’t do anything seriously wrong.
Ya’ll if you don’t want to serve just tell the court you know what jury nullification is and ask to be dismissed. No need for biological warfare.
In some places, telling potential jurors about jury nullification is considered juror tampering.
It’s better to phrase it differently without actually saying the words “jury nullification”. Something like, “I would vote not guilty if the law is unjust.”
I am going to make everyone suffer because I have to participate in society 😇
I’ve never understand why people always complain about jury duty in particular. I’ve never been called, but I think it sounds like an interesting experience.
Yeah you get to sit in a lobby for 3 hours, then the judge calls you in to tell you to be back in an hour after lunch. The you come back and sit a few more hours until they call you back in to tell you what time to be back the next day
Mostly it’s money related. Some people literally cannot afford to attend jury duty because of how little compensation there is for their time; like in my area, if it takes two weeks you get compensated $4.75 an hour compared to a full time job which is $13.50 below minimum wage ($18.25).
I also think it would be cool and would like to attend, but then I wouldn’t be able to pay rent if it goes on too long.
Yup, here you get minimum wage which is only slightly over federal.
I served in a jury once on a criminal case, we found the defendant not guilty and got to see him be freed. That felt pretty nice to be a part of that.
I was exempt from jury duty while serving in the US military, but at one particular base I was stationed at, they put me on a list of potential jury members for any military trials held in the area.
My boss got selected to sit in on a trial, but I never got called. He was super excited about it. He said it was a fascinating case and he couldn’t wait to spill the details once the trial concluded.
To this day, I’ve never been called on. I kinda hope it happens one day. I’m retired now and have nothing better to do.
why is society so shit
My relative said he would never get culled as a juror, because he was an activist lawyer. Actually he was a lawyer for a local city government and he helped shape all the changes for a region and after he retired from the city, he represented local cops who had fucked up real bad
So get a law degree if you want to get out if jury duty
I’m pretty sure you can just open one can of surstromming and save yourself all the effort of the eggs.

Real human bean
What, no black coffee?
That’s after the olive oil and sugar free gummies.
Pretty easy to get out of, right? I’m sure no prosecutor would keep you if you stated plainly that you detest cops and would never trust a word that comes out of their snouts. I’ve also heard of people claiming to have biases against all races but their own just to get out of jury duty, although at least once, I’ve heard of a judge asking jurists who made such claims for proof of past statements along those lines or be slapped with contempt of court charges. Not sure proclaiming to be a racist is the direction I would go in, but to each their own, I suppose.
Nah, you keep all that secret, manage to get on the jury anyway, then vote not guilty no matter what.
Unless it’s a civil case. Then you just automatically rule in favor of whichever party has less money.
Of course, always go for jury nullification (or be the lone dissenting vote if your state requires a unanimous jury) if you can, but this is for when you aren’t able to put in the time for whatever reason
I’m of the mind that if you’re being criminally tried, your likely guilty. Not always, obviously, but that’s enough to say to get me off any jury.
Some sauerkraut also. Gives it a tang.
Bring enough for everyone that way you’ll guarantee a quick verdict.
Cheese would go well with it too. Wash it down with some organic olive oil and for dessert sugar free gummy bears from a disreputable temu seller.
With a side of shredded lettuce just to make things interesting.
:D
I served once, and it was an interesting experience, I learned to trust the court system more than I did before, at least for the civil trial I sat.
Years later I was on call for selection. During the selection process I agreed, when the lawyer asked, that false imprisonment needed to mean they couldn’t leave, i.e. they were locked up. That was enough to eliminate me. I didn’t want to be on a criminal trial that sounded like it was going to last weeks.
In short, it’s easy enough to get out of serving, there’s no reason to be a jerk.
I’ve always wanted to do jury duty. Never been called.
Obviously it depends on your location, but you can probably just sign up. Around here, you contact the county court system (which is how our juries are administered), give them your contact info, and wait for a case. You’re limited to volunteering once per year, because some retirees would keep doing it just to stay busy.
Cool, I can’t volunteer here. But I was able to register in case they don’t have my address.
Needs some raw broccoli too
A beer and some peanut butter cookies.
Why peanut butter cookies???
Because they’re my favorite.
Bruh I’m no food chemist or gastro-entamologist, but if you give me 2 peanut butter cookies and some beer, I can clear a room.
Ooh, dice it real small and put it in a airtight bag/container, bonus points for vacuum sealed. This works for pretty much every Brassica oleracea cultivar.
That’s a lot of food. You could feed a family of 4 on that.
They’re going to eat from the same container for the whole week. It’ll get better every day.
The family that farts together stays together.
Simply because nobody else will have them. Too much ass air!
Take it easy Satan… talk about evil.
