StarCraft. Learn to type really quickly when you're coordinating a massive assault or calling for reinforcements.

FYI: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.

Open the dictionary and under the word idiot, what do you see?

A picture of me?

No! The definition of the word idiot! Which you are!

(done from memory, so likely not 100% accurate)

AKA we all know this is bullshit, but I'm going to backtrack and cover my ass just enough to not catch a perjury charge

That's just the poorly designed default position.

Nope, it was ~~reasonably~~ randomly assigned. It's just that the odds weren't great.

So he rolled the dice on Florida, calculating his one in 26 odds of drawing the dreaded Judge Cannon were pretty good. The problem is, as they said in “The Music Man,” he didn’t know the territory. The odds were really as short as three to one against drawing Cannon.

The catch is that the Southern District of Florida is administratively divided into five divisions: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Key West and Fort Pierce. This is supposed to be for the convenience of the parties and their lawyers, and has no other legal significance.

Cannon is the only judge sitting in Fort Pierce, which is in St. Lucie County, 68 miles north of Palm Beach and 128 miles north of Miami. But, for the purpose of assigning judges, Fort Pierce is treated as part of the neighboring Palm Beach Division. There are three federal district judges in Palm Beach, one of whom is a senior judge. What Smith did not know, or failed sufficiently to appreciate, is that the pool of judges administratively eligible to try the case was not 26 but four. (If you remove from consideration the senior judge, the eligible pool narrows to three.) The grand jury that returned the Trump indictment sat in Miami because the courthouse facilities were more accommodating than those in Palm Beach, but an administrative order deemed the investigation a Palm Beach inquiry.

As others have alluded to, your question requires a distinction: are you talking about wanting to date or wanting to fuck?

Romantic attraction is based on the full package. Yes, their appearance matters, but so does their personality, their hobbies and interests, their emotional maturity, their ability to hold a conversation, their experiences and worldview, etc.

Sexiness is just about physical appearance. How their body looks, facial structure, the way they do their hair, their posture and confidence, their clothes, etc.

I'm a dude, just north of 40. I think peak physical attraction is a woman who's 18-25, brunette, slim and toned, small to medium breasts, I'm not much of an ass man, etc.

But, I'm a middle aged dude. Would I want to date most women that age? Hellllllll no. My gf is 5 years younger than me and even that small of a gap has shown some differences in things like pop culture references and lived experiences. I can't imagine easily connecting with someone that young.

It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead

And you'll likely laugh about it while you're dying!

As everyone has said, they have no legal basis to stop you from walking out, unless they're asserting shopkeeper's privilege, which has certain limits and opens them up to possible liability. This is why employees are trained that only managers and Loss Prevention can do that.

However, they absolutely are able to ban you from a store for not complying. How effective a ban is at a store that sees thousands of people walking in every day, I'm not sure. But it's something to keep in mind if you have limited other options nearby.
