I'm going to just sort of toss it out there that unless you are an actual journalist or are making some sort of financial gain from your story, the rules on sourcing and attribution can be just a tiny bit more flexible. You are a civilian. You passed on a fascinating story.
OK!

I don't usually say negative things about films, but;
I saw Lynch's Dune in the theater when it came out and found it really entertaining, if a little incomprehensible; but watching the latest version with my family (30 something kids), we all thought we'd rather watch paint dry.

You learned to live with something apparently pretty awful. Good for you. I hope you've made some sort of peace with it.

Don't know what to say. "Be careful" comes to mind, but I'm pretty sure that might just be the most unnecessary advice in the history of advice.
How's about "do what you gotta do and come on home in one piece"?

There are those who blandly quote "that which doesn't kill me makes me stronger". Those are foolish people. Sometimes, that which doesn't kill you only screws you up for the rest of your life.

Blue filter. It's a "thing" to get that noirish atmosphere. It's a thing I wish they'd drop. (Actually, I think it's a lot less pronounced in later seasons.)

I'm glad that there were no lasting effects on her psyche with this, but the fact remains that a 43 y/o man drugged a 13 y/o girl in order to have sex with her. This was a crime against the state it was committed in. There are two separate crimes here.

I was with The Missus in a big box discount furniture store and found a section with about 30 of these sitting together.

Yes. One of the best pieces of advice I got from my training officer was when we both arrived at a complicated and chaotic accident scene. I thought it was a put-down at first; "act like you know what you're doing." The people who called us were up against it and had (more)

There should be professional standards. Every other federal agency has them and must adhere to them. I'm a little, (emphasize "little") surprised TSA does not seem to.
I was a cop for almost 40 years and one of my children is trans - that would be where I'm coming from with this.

He evokes a religious-like fervor in his followers. It makes no difference what happens to him, what amount of proof there is against him, they'll never believe that he's what he is. There is no amount of education or reason that will fix this.

I think it's possible to increase the penalty for that kind of blackmail to something medieval. Don't tie the legislation in with anything else.
Just set it out there by itself.
If you do this, you will never get out.

Well, this is a pretty misleading post.
Where's the test?
Where are the signs?
Everything redirects you.
If I were uncharitable, I would think that this was put up by a fairly rapacious profit seeking group wanting to take advantage.
But that can't be true, can it? 🙄

I am a mature, 68 y/o retired cop. Whenever I have leftover spaghetti, I put the pasta into a gallon sized freezer bag and loudly proclaim, "BEHOLD! THE HUMAN BRAIN!" Every time.
The Missus hates it when I cook pasta.

I don't wish to incur your wrath, but (as a constant giver of Mother's Day gifts to my Missus), I suffer with the concept of "owing" gifts.
I owe bills.
Gifts come from somewhere else with me.

Best pet I ever "owned" was a fat, black feral guy my neighbor (who was in construction) found in a dumpster when it was about 3" big and didn't have his eyes open yet. Been gone for years and years but I still think about him. He was hilarious and such a pain in the ass!

There was a captain who I was terrified of. We called him "Bulldog" and he would magically appear whenever I even THOUGHT about screwing up.
When I was in treatment, he sought me out, let me know that I still had value - and it would all work out.

If I could come up with an argument that would convince my father in law that he's wrong, I'd use it.
There doesn't appear to be anything. I love my mother in law and my wife is well aware we don't have an unlimited amount of time with her.
So, "tacit approval" it is.
