Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

You can only do this once, but you can get out of jury duty by saying "I looked up the case beforehand". (hexbear.net)

Apparently they didn't want people prejudiced against arsonists.

Ah, but have you considered the funnier possibility that they didn't want anyone who might look at an arsonist and think "this guy is good job security for me?"

If anything I'd be more concerned they'd be sympathetic because of the disproportionate percentage of firefighters that are arsonists.

Also I know you were joking but as a volunteer firefighter I promise my dad wasn't hoping for more opportunities to have to put out fires for free.

Absolutely definitely joking. Hope I never have to experience a house fire.
