Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

[Gingerbread Demon]

Lots of people taking the 5th out of paranoia that something they say may technically not be entirely true.

Honestly would that be a bad thing if they died ?

How many people do you know who absolutely cannot tell the difference between something sold directly by Amazon and a third party seller no matter how many times you try to explain it? My dad is one of them.

May I ask why this came up?

I tried to get a price match with Amazon at Target. The price the customer service lady was looking at clearly showed it was being sold by Amazon, but she got fixated on how the item's brand was labeled on the page and thought they were the ones selling it.

I've also seen Amazon sales being mentioned online and by the time someone sees it, it's sold out and they see a much higher price for the item from a third party seller, then they get upset at the person who pointed out the sale.

Oh. OK I can see why that'd be an issue.

Random question that has no real answer:

What if swearing to tell the truth on the Bible resulted in instant death if you lied under oath? What would the justice system be like? What would society be like? What would religion be like?

Do they die if what they say under oath they believe to be true even if it is factually false?

No, deliberate lie.

That’s a surprisingly fascist sentiment. That anyone who has anything to hide deserves summary execution.

I needed that long, hot shower. So refreshing.

I guess. "shrug" I guess but why lie under oath if you have done nothing wrong, and I'm being deliberately singular here about that. If you have a clean conscience you have nothing to worry about. I wouldn't wish it to happen to anyone but just for the sake of argument.

BTW a shower on a muggy day is amazing when the water is just right

 

[think]

If I could have dinner with anyone, living or dead,.. I would,.. not because I’m lonely but because it seems interesting.

Do lotion and moisturizer actually cure dry skin or do they just alleviate it and you have to use them forever?

 

[Velocity]

yes

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

Today is daylight savings time. Does anyone hate dealing with it? Changing the clocks losing an hour. Gaining one is okay but losing one is always hard on me. Anyone else?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I fucking hate DST. They should get rid of it. It's useless and inconvenient.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

DST is great in the summer when you have longer days but as you draw into autumn and winter the days grow shorter and the value of the extra time is diminished.

I have to use it year round but esp on the winter

I despise DST but it lessens as I get older and my Give-A-Damn breaks down

 

[JD]

That's one of the nice things about living on Az, we don't do DST. The only problem is it gets kind of confusing because all of the TV shows on the national cable channels all move forward or backwards. The local networks all stay the same.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

why lie under oath if you have done nothing wrong

That's treading dangerously close to "people who have nothing to hide, have nothing to fear".
