Yeah, I guess I’m missing the point. You said only high value cases get lawyers, and I just knew that to not be true, and so that’s what I said. Yeah, are people with 50/50 cases getting representation? Probably not. I certainly see enough pro se plaintiffs though, and from my perspective I understand why they can’t find lawyers.

I see lawyers do it for anywhere from 10-50k settlements all the time. There’s law offices that just deal in volume PI settlements.

I see lawyers work on contingency every single day, for people who don’t have a pot to piss in. It’s also not generally out of the goodness of their heart, so I don’t want to make it seem like they’re philanthropists out here. If you have a case, odds are a lawyer will take it.

As far as defending a case, it’s interesting. I watch insurance companies spend 10 times what a case is worth to settle for the sake of defending it. Lawyers go after insurance companies all the time because the insurance companies have deep pockets, and sometimes you get an easy settlement. This is definitely not some kind of defense of insurance companies either, they’re the worst, but people will do their best to scam them wherever they can.

It ended up happening one other time, on Hulu I want to say, but I caught it earlier, because fool me once and all that. And I’m the kind of person who likes to go into things blind, I enjoy watching the story unfold, so it really gets my goat.

Believe it or not, never happens on the things I host locally.

The hat.

Future is made of it, after all.

My wife and I go to watch it, open Prime, put it on. Watch for a bit, things seem odd, but I don’t question it. We’re having a tough time following exactly, but I’ve heard good things about the show so I’m letting it breathe.

We get like 20m in and I say okay what the fuck. I pause, it’s the season finale of season 1, prime just felt, when we start a new show, that it was best to start off on the most recent episode, despite not having seen the rest of them. Frustrating, to say the least.

I enjoyed this flick. Went through a phase of movies dealing with the concept that is at the core of this one, I enjoy them.

This show keeps popping on my radar and I mean to snag it, and then, as with many things in my life, it disappears into the void.

I just finished up Deaths Door and watching that video really reminded me of it. Looks fun, thanks for sharing.

I know it’s probably client related, but to block a sub on Jerboa I click the post, then click the sub, then I can block. Meanwhile, I’m clicking on posts of monster dongs, going to the sub dedicated to monster dongs, just to try to see fewer dongs. And so yeah, my gripe is with my client, but I’d love a long press, block sub, bing bang boom.

Sweet, sweet perpetual stew.

That’s why I also drink Metamucil twice a day. Stuff is fantastic for keeping everything moving. And I eat my fruits and veggies, but nothing wrong with a little supplementation.

I had a friend who lived with a few dudes in a house, and I go over to her place and she’s getting ready and one of her roommates is sitting in the kitchen eating a chicken breast and broccoli. We get to chatting, and he tells me he’s going to Olympic trials for luge, and so obviously I ask how you get into that.

He ends up telling me he ran and was successful at track, and he basically got poached, mainly because of his size and his running ability.

So yeah. That’s it.

Life’s different with kids. I’d literally give up anything for an extra hour with my kids. I would also give up everything to give them a better life. It’s a complicated situation and people are dumbing it down as much as possible, and it’s a little unfair. It’s very easy to say what you’d do when it’s just you, but these fucking progeny put their hooks in you, I swear to God. They have made me into a person I never thought I would be, and I can guarantee if they said “Dad, five more minutes,” I’d do it.

None of this should even be a talking point. Dude should’ve had access to treatment regardless, and he shouldn’t have to worry about jeopardizing his kids next 20 years for their next 20 days. It’s gross. It makes me sad.

Nah, I’ll just do a cost-benefit analysis whether I should get treatment or just fucking die.

Right. I should be able to be common sensed through age verification at this point.

Yeah, I can’t stand modern shades of gray. Everyone decorates their house like they’re about to list it for sale. Give me colors! Give me silly pictures, and plants, and nonsense. It’s your home, it doesn’t need to be sterile.

I think he just likes smoking weed, but I like it being couched as giving him some competitive advantage. I swam, and knew a couple ladies who supposedly smoked some weed with him. They were better swimmers than me, so I was not invited of course.

I work from home for about 75% of my work. Today, I have to drive somewhere this morning, and then again somewhere this evening. I will spend in the realm of 2.5-3 hours in the car today. I do not get paid for travel. I will not be able to get in my daily run today. I probably won’t see my kids after I drop them at school. I’ll get home around 11pm tonight.

So yeah, I love wfh. But for the case of my job tonight, it’s very good money, and not the perfect use case for remote (although certainly doable considering we did for years), and so I eat it, it’s whatever. I generally have 7 or so jobs a month that I need to travel. Twice the commute is about 40m each way. The other five are 5-15m commutes so they’re fine.
