way more of you wear watches than i would have expected

my vague understanding is that most people my age don’t wear watches because why wear watches when you can just check your smartphone, but I didn’t get a smartphone until I graduated high school at which point I was already in the habit of wearing a watch (I had a flip phone before that but didn’t really use it much)

My watch brings me comfort and i feel naked without it
The strap is also a good fidget, and i can sneakily check the time without being rude
(Also it just looks cool)
I love my watch tbh

Warren v. District of Columbia [1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine.
Cops legally don’t have to protect you! Really makes you wonder what we give them billions of dollars for

my god
There are at least 2 SCOTUS cases that affirm this, and more in other federal districts. An elementary school teacher and babysitter are more legally obligated to protect a minor than a cop is. I think they’re even criminally liable if they don’t attempt to intervene when a child (in their care) is in danger unless a court finds it was too dangerous for them to do so.
