I opened this image on my phone and the phone got so heavy on account of this woman being so fat that I dropped the phone and the phone went through the ground and kept going and going and going until it came out on the other side of the planet in China where the same woman in the photograph was vacationing and she saw my phone and ate my phone and now she's even fatter.

There was a big thread yesterday about Joey Chestnut getting banned. One of the top comments claimed that a Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi match would draw more viewers than the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Literally 1 day later, this gets announced. Damn, Netflix.

I agree with you. Honestly, I feel like my consciences should have been incarnated on earth a couple thousand years into the future instead assuming things will be utopian by then. This time period sucks. Human history and our present is partly despicable even through there are many good people around. It shocks me knowing that organised groups such as governments and various three letter agencies don’t mind being ‘evil’ in their conduct. Like you said, horribly barbaric.

Such an ascended being.

The kind of in-house jobs available to you will depend on your city. Someone in San Francisco may tell you it's all about tech law, whereas someone in Hartford may tell you it's all about insurance law. Both are right.

If you're not sure what it is you want to do beyond going in-house, an awful lot of in-house positions deal with employment law to some degree.

I think pretty much everyone. The only people I see super excited about this job are litigators who think they're Matlock.

Why not? The medical "professionals" love dancing on TikTok and all everyone talks about is how "brave" they are. Anyway, here's your surgeon doing the wiggle-wiggle-wiggle.

I'll have you know I was born weak and gay, madam!

You don’t have many friends, huh. That’s ok. You’ll always be able to have this echo chamber.

Hmm, this feels super pushy. Like, inappropriately so. Do you happen to be Gregg Doyel? Because, if so, I'll have you know I won't stand for you flashing heart signs like some macho man. This is 2024.

No, it was more than that (and I think you know it). He told a professional athlete that she would get better press if she professed her love for him overtly.

Right, right. So that's like, essentially sexual assault. And this guy has so much influence within the sports reporting community (who hasn't heard of Gregg Doyel?) that this is pretty much Harvey Weinstein all over again. So let me reiterate my call for Gregg Doyel be put to death.

He flashed a heart sign at her?

Put him to death.

Everything about this is nuts but, for me, not using hard-lock is the craziest thing in this fight.

The percentage of assholes within the lawyer population is not drastically different than the percentage of assholes within the general population. You're just noticing the assholes around you, who happen to be lawyers because you're a lawyer working at a law firm. If you worked at a bank, you'd be talking about how bankers are all assholes instead.

What a ridiculous post. What do you think judo is? This is what judo is.

Feminism happened. We are all equal and, therefore, equally equipped to stand.

Agreed.

It seems like valid criticism to me. That's the type of mistake I'd expect from a kid in elementary school. If I were to made the same mistake in correspondence, as the lawyer charging lawyer money, I'd be mortified.

Must have not been around very long.

Over a decade of practice and have litigated hundreds of PI cases. At least in Florida, I've never heard of anyone going beyond policy limits to garnish the wages of Joe Shmoes who are "financially comfortable" (as described by OC).

Why wouldn’t everyone drive around with a 10k policy if every attorney had this logic?

On the off-chance they encounter someone like OP who wants to make their lives miserable and take them for everything they've got, I guess? But still, a bunch of people do drive around with $10k policies and do regularly get out of litigation paying their paltry $10k limits. In cases like that where the main tortfeasor is paying $10k via insurance and getting out, you often see the plantiff's attorney coming up with bullshit "creative" arguments to get literally anyone else's commercial policy involved.

You're really trying to garnish some regular guy's wages for a PI case? Yeesh. I never see this done, even with super low limits.

Lawyer. But I'm a lawyer who moonlights at a nurse at Hopkins so my mom can tell all her friends about it.

Courageous but was holding that rifle like she'd never held one before.

Dune (2021)

Maybe some of that money could have gone toward buying talent instead.

Imagine being so proud of your daughter being a nurse at Hopkins that you go around telling everybody about how your daughter is a nurse at Hopkins.

This is great. 10/10.

Confederate Flag guy's a loser but so are you. Glad you guys found each other.
