Trial lawyer

That makes so much more sense than pure time off.

If I ever emigrated, it would be to Nederland. Weather be damned, the Dutch are top-tier.

Barrister here. Our courts go on recess for about as long as schools go on holiday. Alas, for us, the knock on effect is dire:

• Court logs are jammed and hearing dates are pushed absurdly far in the future. (Application becomes opposed = see you in a year from now; trial becomes defended = see you in five years, at best.)
• We’re also all sole practitioners (members of the various Bar councils) so, no work no fees.

June-July and December-January are devastating. If I had kids I’m sure I’d appreciate these forced breaks, but I don’t, so I can’t.

Teachers, however, deserve it waaay more than us, that’s for sure. If I won €1 billion I’d give 99% to teachers. It’s an inexcusable tragedy that you’re paid so little for an incredibly tough job with significant social importance.

I tip my cap to teachers. You’re fucking hero(in)es.

My point was that their proud wearing of MAGA caps, in my view, renders them deplorable even if their child’s killing spree was not in any way their fault. (Which, come on, it almost certainly is.)

Fuck them in spite of him.

If you’re MAGA, you endorse Jan 6 and support a convicted felon to lead the world.

Fuck MAGA.

Fuck these two—in spite of their alleged murderer son.

That is not, in fact, doxxing.

Damn. 👊🏼

Edgelord for disliking Wes Anderson?

Honestly, just skip his work altogether.

Mine was actually a mid-reaction for an intellectually dishonest comment. You didn’t discover anyone, you pretended to, so you come across as non-mainstream.

I don’t mind feeling insecure. I wear it on my sleeve.

You’re too young to realise how hackneyed and stale the “I’ve never heard of… [celebrity you’ve definitely heard of]” is. Nobody cares who you’ve heard of.

Google exists.

You’re in a UK thread and you’ve never heard of Gary Lineker?

Sounds like you don’t consume any media or you have a TBI.

And you’re weirdly expressing pride at your own ignorance.

What an odd fucking comment.

I eagerly await the world celebrating the passing of Stalin Lite.

No doubt the bloated orange mongrel, too, will have a gaudy and grandiose funeral one day, but I suspect the cheers will outshine the tears.

Fuck these despotic psychopaths. Just expire already, please.

I hope you didn’t pay much for that room. Looks like a crack den.

The death of Apollo brought me here.

Comments like these are why I’ve stayed.

As a Mac user, in an LLM world, text editors are King.

I couldn’t do my job anymore without them.

Thing is, you obviously can become reasonably wealthy by following the first chart, if you’re talented and 1 in 10 thousand lucky, whereas the second chart has a significant success rate.

The mega rich are too weak-willed to concede they’ve essentially hit a 1 in 60 million Powerball. Winning the lottery warrants glee, not pride.

Billionaires all exploit the working class—or at the very least they all inherently rely on its occurrence, without exception.

I’d add a third slice to the second pie: steal your way there.

I’m either too old or too out of touch, but I don’t understand this at all.
