- unfortunately he's probably lying. But maybe! *fingers crossed* -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 14:49 1
  - of course he's lying. I would bet he didnt invest $1 in Truth. - Jovian Apr 16, 14:50

- . . . the duo then immediately announced their breakup -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 16, 14:19
- I had no idea Paul had a son named James. -- nm - Mop🧹 Apr 16, 14:16 3
  - I only knew about him because he had a tiny guitar solo on one track of Flaming Pie, the last McCartney CD I bought (although my dude bought Kisses on the Bottom for me). -- nm* - mara Apr 16, 14:17 2
    - How much he pay for that? -- nm - groony Apr 16, 14:22 1
      - Ha, right. I have no doubt that Paul chose the title for the innuendo. -- nm - mara ❄️ Apr 16, 14:58

Shogun cementing its position as a new Game of Thrones with a solid episode before the last episode. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Apr 16, 13:34 4
- That explains why I have no interest. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 13:58

  - Same. Spoils. - Volnelk 🍊 Apr 16, 13:42
ST Poll — Would you be able to put any biases about him aside to serve on Trump’s jury? Would you want to? - znufrii Apr 16, 13:31 22
- I think I would be disqualified as I am not a peer of his. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 14:58
- Unlikely. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 16, 14:55
- Bobcat Goldthwait on the topic. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Apr 16, 14:48 [youtube]

- Nope and nope. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 13:59
- Would I be able to make a fair decision? Yes. Would I want to serve on a jury with possibly more than one MAGA person? No. -- nm - Max Apr 16, 13:48
- Probably not. -- nm - The Last Of My Kind Apr 16, 13:46
- I think I could but if at the end I believed him to be Not Guilty I would keep re-analyzing, where if I thought he was guilty there would be no doubt. And, no to the second. -- nm* - Spawn Apr 16, 13:46
- Yes, no. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 16, 13:45
- I would, but I'm confident I'd get disqualified. -- nm - David Apr 16, 13:43 1
  - It's becoming pretty hilarious to have his own lawyers serve up continual burns from jurors SM posts. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 14:35
- Nope -- nm - decline Apr 16, 13:43
- I would be willing to try, but realistically probably unable to do so. -- nm - psilotum Apr 16, 13:42

  - "Order! Order! Juror 11, stop rolling those eyes!" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 14:59
- I think I could. This is a question of does the prosecution prove the charged crimes. Evaluate the evidence and rule based on that. - ty97 Apr 16, 13:38
- Even if I tried, everything from the defense would cone across like editorials on faux news, I would be throwing my shoes... - zeitgeist Apr 16, 13:37

Man…when they come back from hiatus / recovery, Rhea Ripley and Roman Reigns are going to be huge fan favorites. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 13:24 15
- Only thing holding that back is her in Judgement Day - eag Apr 16, 13:48 1
  - They’ll get there but she’s a huge fan favorite with the ultimate heat magnet of Dom on her arm. That kid is *hated* - Will Hunting Apr 16, 14:01

        Even with him playing the troll perfectly, they made the logic fit over 6 months. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 14:31
      - Actually, no. Rock has much more power, and this was his idea. HHH wanted Cody vs. Reigns, which turned out to be the right call. - David Apr 16, 14:11
  - Reigns was a heel throughout his title run. Cody refuses to be a heel ever. Rock became a heel because of real-life miscalculations. - David Apr 16, 13:28 4
    - Ahhh thank you - Jovian Apr 16, 13:31 3
      - Cody is one of the people who started my beloved AEW. -- nm - David Apr 16, 13:42 2

- It's fascinating to learn how many Brits still think she was guilty. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 13:23 4
  - really? as many as Italians? -- nm - mud Apr 16, 13:24 3
    - I don't think as many, but a substantial portion - Reagen Apr 16, 13:34
    - The whole prosecution reminds me off those teens convicted of murder because they were heavy metal fans. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 13:30 1

- I tried to but you can't use it if you have an HSA, for some reason. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 13:16 2
  - I think they just wanted to start small. -- nm - mara Apr 16, 14:14
  - Homeland Security Alibi? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 13:22
- Yes...worked fine. Except it got rejected because I didn't know what PIN I had. So I printed it out and mailed -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 13:12
