(ultimate fighting championship) advertising. It's nonstop. I tune into several recipe stations, Andy Griffith type stations, old movie stations - And there CBS is with their horrible, assault on the senses violent advertising - I HATE IT! I can't stand fighting, especially this type of cruel fighting. It's triggering. I had it in my life as a child. They must be spending millions & millions on this shit advertising.

I won't even watch sports movies.
Are they not all the same in their plots? Underdog team faces challenges. They bond with the coach. Eventually, through hard work and perseverance, they win.

I got my shifts covered, but I have concerns
If it's a case that involves Any abuse; child, domestic, animal... No way will I be able to hear about that or look at photos. I have been off depression meds for 3 years, I don't want to go back on because of jury duty. I also don't want a panic attack to trigger a seizure. I don't want to hear or see pictures about abuse or trauma

I hope your summons is cancelled the night before. Mine usually is.
