Truck Driving for me. It’ll feel cool for probably a half-hour for me, to be driving something big. Until my worry of having to meet things in timely manners start kicking in and my anxiety to make sure information going all directions are right enough for easy deliveries.
Not to mention, how stupid easy it probably is for a eighteen wheeler truck to topple over in bad weather.
Judge. I have no idea how you can punish people all day long and not stay up at night worrying that you made wrong decisions that ruined lives overmuch
It’s especially bad when you look at time of day stats and see that, on average, judges push harsher sentencing right before their lunch break.
It’s wild that we have a system that ruins people’s lives that’s affected by how hungry one person is
IIRC the hungry judge effect is considered more of a correlation than a causation. It’s been a while since I read about it, but another theory was that case ordering mattered more- it was about the relative comparisons to previous cases in the day. Additionally, some suggested cases that required more deliberation on sentencing would not be scheduled right before a break so they wouldn’t be interrupted.
Isn’t that the role of the jury?
The jury doesn’t determine the punishment, only guilt/innocence.
Not all trials involve a jury. A jury can be requested in some cases, but it’s not the default. It’s usually reserved for serious criminal cases.
Bruh I agonized over this on jury duty. It wasn’t even a violent crime but dude was still facing jail time. I cannot IMAGINE how stressful a Judge’s job must be on the day-to-day.
