The likelihood that they will actually call you is slim ... :) I have been called numerous times, never even advanced to selection. Just waited in a room and went home.

Mumble something about not always trusting police or jury nullification, the lawyers will never pick you for jury :P

That would be very convenient, or I could not dress up in a monkey suit, it's not hard to dodge jury duty.

But this is something I want to do, if I can.

Yeah, point is just that I too have always gone in like "I am an awkward queer and I am here!!! to fuck with the criminal justice system!" and never even got weeded out from the room where it happens. Didn't get to do an eyelock with a single lawyer.

Well, GL.

Welp, joined a Discord server for kicks, and I went through a bit of an anxiety episode, needing meds to control it. I'm not sure if the two events are correlated, or if I was already gonna have one in the middle of the day. I did think that I needed my meds in the morning before deciding to join the server.

It also confirmed that realtime communication is hard. I think I need to lower my involvement in it, even if it felt really good. I can't really lurk on Discord servers for 18 hours like I can for Bay12, it seems. 14 hours is too much at a time for realtime things.

I don't think that's a Discord server I want to go to; that sounds like all sorts of dubious and pedo-y. There's a Discord mod joke to be made there.

Why did they call it Dread though? That title is ridiculously edgy. I'm dumbfounded by the fact that this is real.

Dunno, makes sense to me. The new antagonist bot is an unkillable stalker with instakill powers, a la Alien: Isolation, so Dread is at least a somewhat fitting edgy word to stick onto the name when you've run out of all the standard thing to tack on after a gratuitous colon.

If you're dumbfounded that a popular series received a sequel whose name involves [SERIES NAME] : [EMOTION], I'd strongly advise against title browsing unless you want to appear moonstruck.
