Real-stardust - Local Skeleton In The Closet

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

Writers don't get to rest.

how it felt watching the wolverine/deadpool honda odyssey “fight” scene

AHHH I CAN'T WAIT

Apparently Wakanda forever is about to hit Disney plus on Jan 20 Feb 1 (will be starting off my birthday month in the best way possible 😜💖).

I will be rewatching it to my heart's content to the point I can repeat dialogues, read their eye and hand gestures, I'm going to go mental on the scrap of additional scenes or what not that gets added.

I hope they make one of those behind the scenes documentaries because I will paste my eyeballs to the screen if that happens. I'll spend hours watching the same thing on loop till my mom thinks I'm insane
