  • One of my favorite court transcripts is Sheppard v. Speir.

    The Court:  All right.   Now, do you have some objection to him being renamed Samuel Charles?

    Sheppard:  Yes.

    The Court:  Why? You think it’s better for his name to be Weather’by Dot Com Chanel-

    Sheppard:  Well, the-

    The Court:  Just a minute for the record.

    Sheppard:  Sorry.

    The Court:  Chanel Fourcast, spelled F-o-u-r-c-a-s-t?   And in response to that question, I want you to think about what he’s going to be-what his life is going to be like when he enters the first grade and has to fill out all [the] paperwork where you fill out-this little kid fills out his last name and his first name and his middle name, okay?   So I just want-if your answer to that is yes, you think his name is better today than it would be with Samuel Charles, as his father would like to name him and why.   Go ahead.

    Sheppard:  Yes, I think it’s better this way.










  • It was useful for asking questions that neither you nor the other person would want to put in a public post. For example, someone posted a picture in the bad real estate sub that looked very familiar, and I sent a DM asking “is this X location?”. I might not want people to know I’m familiar with X location, they might not want people to know they’re familiar with X location, but maybe we’re both ok with each other knowing.

    But I’m pretty sure its main use was sending hate to people without getting banned.
