Fun fact - you live in a country where jaywalking is legal and drivers have to stop for anyone who decides to cross the street at any place. | |

Well I'm not stupid enough to just step out on the street without looking, amazingly not that many people are. It's almost as if jaywalking is a silly thing to make illegal, it assumes a complete lack of common sense. Granted there are lots of people who lack common sense, but road sense is something drilled into British children at a young age. Stop, look and listen. I can even remember the catchphrase. | |

I love the comments. People are over this. It's pretty wild that it's considered normal for the majority of public spaces to be reserved for motorized vehicles and everyone else has to yield. | |

I've been binging JCS Criminal Psychology videos, which is a guy on YT who cuts together interrogation videos of convicted murderers and it is crack! It is so addictive watching people who are backed into a corner trying to talk their way out. The common theme is that they all think they're so crafty when in reality most of them would have probably walked if they would have just shut up. | |

It might be different in Europe because the roads are smaller and have more curves in them, but in Canada with wide roads and a grid system, I don't see why this is controversial. If you're a ped in Canada, cross the street at a corner. It's at most a couple hundred meters out of the way, and its safe because cars expect you to cross there. If you'd rather play frogger with your life to save a couple of minutes, and someone hits you, you're the twat, not them. | |

It's not about who's a twat. It's about codifying a respect for life that says just because someone else broke the law, that doesn't make it legal for you to murder them with your car. | |

Dunno. The law generally apportions blame in percentages. There may be cases where one person is 100% at fault and the other is 0%, but often the blame is split. If the letter of the law says peds have the row on any road at any time, then your duty as a driver is to avoid hitting them. I don't think going the speed limit is a valid defence in that case, since you at some point have to go under the speed limit to avoid hitting them, and you should arguably anticipate the possibility of having to do that every time you see a pedestrian on the pavement (sidewalk). | |

This channel has some good interrogations too. | |

No. If you're going at or below the limit, you're not drunk, your car is roadworthy, and there's nothing else wrong, then you're likely in the clear. People don't go to prison or otherwise charged with a criminal offence for hitting pedestrians unless there's a very good reason for it. There's no % of blame. The pedestrian has right of way. The driver is either 100% to blame, or 0% to blame. Despite the drilling of road sense into kids at a young age, collisions happen frequently. It's inevitable, especially in residential areas. This is why we have 30mph speed limits, sometimes 20mph, because at these speeds you are much more likely to stop in time, and even if you don't, you should be going slow enough to avoid causing serious injury. | |

So if you want to lose weight, buy smaller bananas. | |

Yup. And if you want to know your banana mass index, divide weight in bananas by height in bananas. A bmi of 66-70 is about right. | |

It seems like he just rolled low on a bunch of life stuff, looks, social skills, astygmatism, can't play sports, etc., and high rolled on psychotic. Feel kind of sorry for the guy. Not as sorry as I feel for the girl who hit a -100 on the creepy neighbor roll, but yeah it's sad. | |

On a less serious topic, in my life I've encountered a number of asian people who've come to live in an English-speaking country, and adopt an English first name. I'm sure everyone's experienced this. And in general, I get the idea, they want to fit in or whatever. | |

Also, does this happen in other countries as well. Say if an asian student goes to Germany, do they change their name "Fritz" or "Dachshund" or something silly? | |

I think you may fail to appreciate the amount of culture that the US exports in the form of movies and TV. Names in the US are more familiar to others than vice versa. | |

I mean I'm in this meeting with this student and I'm like "Ok Kitty, so what analysis are you going to use for your project data?" "Have you finished your methods section yet, Kitty?", etc., and every time I hear myself say her name I just want to stick my head in the oven and turn on the gas. | |

You get used to it. Kitty isn't all that strange to me since I was actually friends with a Kitty. It was only an odd name to begin with. | |

I just remembered another lad I knew who called himself David, he was first generation Pakistani migrant. We hung out, played football and cricket together, and once I had to call his home to see if he was coming out. I knew his name was really Desraj so when his sister answered I thought I better show the family respect and use his real name. His sister shouted "David it's for you, and he called you Desraj". Seems like he even made his family call him David! | |

I do believe the minimum time past the sell-by date for one of these names is 30 years, so that seems about right. | |

I'm glad they got the guys and gals in the JCS videos, but I can totally see how some of those techniques could get a false confession out of somebody. Not the bozo who interrogated the schizophrenic kid though... what a shit show. I'm surprised they got him to confess at all. He was so close to walking. Can't convict someone for bad vibes. | |

That's pretty much it. They basically just keep the person there for hours, beating on them psychologically, till they give up and "confess." | |

IDK exactly what you're talking about, 'cause I haven't watched it, but if you are read your Miranda rights, that's pretty much a direct message to STFU and get a lawyer. | |

Perhaps not surprisingly, a lot of the innocent people in those interrogations who give false confessions are pretty dim bulbs. They may naively feel there is no harm in talking to the police if they are innocent. You can call them stupid (and they are), but it's not that hard to understand where they're coming from, is it? They want to help, they're often not (at first at least) being directly accused, etc.. Sometimes they're already vulnerable because it was a loved one who's died. | |

Because all the guys in those videos got caught. My takeaway is that it is really hard to get a first degree murder conviction if they don't have a confession. You have to convince a jury that they're guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You have to convince them of intent and premeditation. Even if you're not smart enough to shut up and call a lawyer, as long as they're not confessing, they still have an out. Casey Anthony takes the price for dumbest murderer to ever walk free. Probably the only thing in the entire process that she did right was not confessing. | |

Yeah well the convo had moved on to false confessions, but I take your point in bold. The irony is that a confession is very compelling to a jury, but is much less reliable than actual physical evidence. People confess to shit they didn't do all the time, for a variety of reasons. | |

None of those Asian name.changes are as strange as the name changes people legally make irl. I used to work in a data entry job and was provided with legal proof to change one account name to Bilbo Baggins and another to Iram Butts. Then a couple of Harry Potter changes. | |

How much does it cost to legally change your name? It's great that these people are willing to pay to make fools of themselves. That shows real dedication. | |

It's relatively cheap in the UK, in the order of hundreds of pounds. I think, anyway. I have no intention of legally changing my name. If I did, it would also be something stupid that made no sense, like Ongratiio Bonga, and I'd only do it if I was wealthy, bored and drunk. | |

I'm more confused by a lot of it that cringeing at it. It's like "I must be missing something. Is this normal now?" Maybe it helps that I'm old enough to have mostly forgotten how stupid I was as a teenager. But some of it definitely makes you embarrassed for them. | |

Speaking of not normal, I've never heard of celebrating your mum for having to give birth to you and your siblings. Isn't that kind of part of what Mother's Day is for? Why does this woman need two Mother's Days, and one on her oldest son's birthday no less? | |
