A grand jury can indict someone in less than 10 minutes. I've been in one when it happened. There are no rules about how much evidence the prosecutor has to present, just that the grand jury has to reach the numbers needed to indict. The only reason a grand jury is delayed is because the cops or prosecutor is taking their time about it. Since we know that the cops and prosecutor care about rich folks and want to make sure they're 'taken care of,' it makes sense that this was brought in as the first case on the prosecutor's list.

1.Blame everyone else, someone MUST have stolen or maliciously misplaced your items.

2.Tear whole apartment apart (hence the name). Of course you cannot find it.

Oh my god, I am so ashamed when I do this. Like, I know they only do it 5-10% of the time, but I 'ask' them if they've moved it nearly every time.

It's prolific, for certain. I have been reading research papers for a laboratory class (3000 level) that are written over the entire semester with a group. They contain errors so horrific that I don't understand how the student passed any writing class. There were entire paragraphs without a single complete sentence, and others where another paper was cited without any connection to what was being said.

I'm not joking when I say that our response at the academic/instructional level during the COVID pandemic has ruined the intellect of a segment of the population. Combine that with the push I saw ten years ago while working in lower grades to pass students to the next grade regardless of their capabilities and the greed of colleges to get those first year students, as Maggoty mentions, and it's a perfect storm.

The housing I remember in Japan was the coffin box. A little space long enough for you to lie down in, with a small cubby for items. I think it was about 30 sq. ft. and maybe 90 cu. ft.

I think you might be wrong there. How much conversation was happening a week ago about actually killing rich folks? I saw it occasionally here on lemmy in the form of 'eat the rich.' Out in my meatspace conversations though? Never. There might have been a grumble once a year, or they might agree with a statement about the elite political and financial class not caring about harm done to anyone else. In the last few days, even my normiest of normal friends has been talking about it, even if not directly. Most of the comments aren't putting the rich in a positive light either.

This event has sparked a great deal of thought about death and taxes.

Well, my thoughts on this are pretty 'basic.' I buy games that I enjoy. I think that <5% of my games purchased in the last two years are games that have been released within a year of when I buy them.

There are more than enough games that are amazing from the past 30 years to keep me occupied for the next 10, and not a single one of them stresses my 12 year old computer. Plus, while I can understand the complaints about Steam being the massive titan that it is, I am quite happy with them and their Linux gaming enabling work. I really do just install games and play them.

You were able to be distracted by girls? Fucking nerd. I wish I had gotten my nose out of the books long enough to be distracted.

I get it, but the joke was right there and I had to take the swing.

Why would smashing the glass require two people?

That was my first thought. My second was that somehow people became interested in the unique behavior of slime molds.
