Later: why didn't you do the thing I asked?

The secret is: it's always your fault.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Oh I know. When you're raised by a narcissist with an obsession for controlling people, EVERYTHING is your fault. Never theirs.

Hey, did you know I'm responsible for my dads marriage failing, my school (a catholic elementary school) rejecting me (an athiest) for MC Hammer dancing in church (I was acting out a death scene portraying the lies of the church killing me), the holocaust, the dinosaurs dying, getting cancer, being fat as a 5 year old, my mom attempting suicide and going into a coma, having hearing problems, being born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, my dad running himself over with his truck on a day I wasn't home, cats invading our home.....now granted I fully welcomed it, but I had nothing to do with it. Three of kittens LOVED me! And then he sent them to a kill shelter, because the no kill shelter was a 10 minute longer drive.

So yeah. I'm used to everything being my fault.

Sometimes there are no words... only gif.

I feel you, my mom was the same way.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Same here, good luck you all!

[-] LyingCake@feddit.org 5 points 9 months ago

Bit too specific there, buddy.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It's based on real life.

Sir / Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

And the frosty machine being broken is my fault, I'm assuming?

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 9 months ago

Even so, it is Wend-ception, Wendy's all the way down...

The 5th panel should be a copy of the 2nd one.

We do that to our MD all the time.

A paint booth gets condemned because the filtration isn't working, the MD asks the paint manager to just carry on anyway. The paint manager says sure, send that to me in an email and I'll crack on. The email never arrives. The booth gets repaired.

Nitpicking, but, e-mail aren't judicially approved, just so you know.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

You are technically correct, e-mails aren't judicially approved. They are hearsay, a statement made outside of court. They absolutely can be used as evidence. Lionel Hutz was on the money when he said that 'hearsay is a kind of evidence'. Depending on the hearsay it can be quite strong evidence. That evidence can be used to make a testimony and that is judicially approved. There is strong hearsay, such as a series of emails which details the crime, and there is weak hearsay, like 'everyone knows Joe did it'. One of those examples of hearsay you can take to court, the other, well you can take what everyone is saying to court but it won't get you very far.

Found Legal Eagle's Lemmy Account?

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

What do you mean by that? If you received an email, you are the witness that testifies about the email when it's introduced as evidence. Generally also not covered by hearsay when it's directly the issue of the entire case.

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 2 points 9 months ago

Is that an American thing?

[-] Fox@pawb.social 19 points 9 months ago

Very definitely not, emails (and texts and a bunch of other electronic comms) are discoverable as evidence and routinely used to bury people under the jail

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Guess i read that in german IT news?

[-] user134450@feddit.org 3 points 8 months ago

The situation isn't that different in Germany: emails can be used as evidence in court, though they aren't as strong as evidence as say: a signed letter. There is also the issue with proving that an email actually arrived, but i would assume that in this case that is already covered.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

No, it was because sender can be easily forged, etc. Or was it swiss? Anyway.

[-] user134450@feddit.org 2 points 8 months ago

senders can only be easily forged if you control the senders mail server or if they don't use best practices for running a mail server.
See also:

there are cryptographic signatures on almost all mails sent by large mail providers these days, which makes it very hard to just forge an email that will hold up to closer examination with the help of the provider. so basically the IT techs of the company would need to be on board with whatever the perpetrator is doing, for them to get away with it.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

Been there, seem that. I put it in writing that I won't do what boss asked because it would be illegal. Was never approached about this topic again.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

“Per our discussion…”

[-] tired_lemming@sh.itjust.works 28 points 9 months ago

This manager at least decides to park it rather than doubling down which honestly already puts her better than many.
