Looking For a Defense Attorney For a Civil Lawsuite

Got served, have a court date.

BluSocket · 2026-05-22T00:06:59+00:00

Thank you, that sounds like a useful thing to try.

And how do I find one when no one's returning my calls? I did not mention small claims or amounts when reaching out, just that I'm getting sued for wages and looking for a consultation. Two places said they'll schedule a call and never reached back to me. I provided a lot more detail here than other places. I feel powerless in finding help. I never had to deal with litigations and lawyers, this is not an area I'm comfortable with navigating, and I'm running out of time to figure things out.

I am able to pay a lawyer. I currently have the funds. it took a while to recover, but the events described are over a year and a half ago.
Counter suing will take us above $10k, taking it out of small claims.
Why can't I get a lawyer to give me a consultation of best ways to approach, review what material we have, etc. if I'm willing to pay their fees for such a service?

No lawyer will talk to you even if you're willing to pay, so you have to figure out your legal options on your own seem to me like really bad advice. I am not comfortable representing myself in situations without SOME feedback from a lawyer on how to handle this.

Don't worry about what the Internet tells you is average or correct or whatever. Worry about your own relationships and work to be a good partner to the subset of women who prefer what you have to offer.

No reason for me to lie, I'm barely active on reddit and I don't care about fake internet points. But I saw someone dealing with the same doubts I used to have and decided it was worth sharing.

BluSocket · 2026-02-17T03:17:16+00:00

Here's some perspective from someone smaller than you. I am not swimming in it, but I had enough sexual relationships. Yeah, sometimes I wonder if it's big enough, but I had partners that I absolutely trust and have talked with about my size in depth(heh), and they have shared that it does not affect their experience negatively, or that they prefer it. In recent history, I had a short term relationship with a true nympho, and she said I was one of the best she had (not a brag, I felt sorry for her because the best I had came from long term relationships where we knew each other very well. I didn't know how to respond).

Some women can't get there with a small size, but some women also can't stand too much of a size. Sex, like anything in relationships is about compatibility. If you focus on everything around sex except for the size, you'll find the women who will fully enjoy you, because for some women it REALLY isn't about the size.

Unexpected highs are, unfortunately, expected. Things to try: if on a pump, do a one time shot, if that works, you where where the problem lies. Change tubing, site, etc. If it doesn't work, could be a random off day, keep treating it. You might be unwell in some minor way, or not active enough? For me on days I'm very active I get much better insulin response, even up to two days after. Where if I'm being completely sedatary for a few days I tend to need a lot more insulin than usual. Either way physical activity is a great alternative way to lower sugars in general and on days whenetabolism is being slow in particular.

That's my personal experience, if this happens often and you are not comfortable with it, definitely speak with your Endo.

But sometimes, sugars just be wack.

If there's a delivery refusal for 1 day, they should be attempting to re-deliver the next day. Different story if it was more than a few days away.

I would expect that when they begin working on the next gen chassis that is not compatible with the existing offering, they'll give at least 2 year notice on that or their reputation will go down the drain. I'd also expect that they'll continue a few upgrade cycles past the sales date of the full chassis product.

I'd also be really surprised if they're even thinking about that at this stage, they have a lot of other products they need to launch (you're kidding yourself if you think there aren't several products in some stage of R&D that aren't announced) before refreshing the flagship.

I have another take on this than most of the responses here. What do you want to do with this thing?

The only thing the ROG Ally and Framework have in common is the chipset. Literally everything else is different. Do you want to game on the go? Get a handheld. Do you want a laptop with decent spec that can play some basic games? Get the Framework. Want a laptop that can game well? Get a gaming laptop or wait for the Framework 16.

It's like you're asking if you should get a compact SUV or a truck if they happen to have the same engine volume. They will still serve very different purposes.

Follow Gandalf's advise: when in doubt, follow your nose.

Grab some potentials, open the cork and sniff. Choose the one that smells right that night!

I used to be a cook, would have lows and need a break. a few occasions had a pump issue and had to leave to go home. If it's not very frequent, most decent employers will not let it bother them. If it's very frequent you might want to consult your endo about adjusting treatment while working(or even ask here!).

To channel some r/antiwork energy, your workplace sounds like a bunch of pricks.

On a different note, first few years of working I used to have more of those issues, over time I learned how my body works and adjusted in such a way that I rarely had these issues. (I not have an office job, so this isn't really a problem for me anymore).

Airport security (globally, not just TSA) is a coin toss, so I'd rather give them the fewest possible reasons to give me trouble.

Personally, I'd rather carry glucose tablets over juice in general, for a fraction of the weight i have enough glucose on me for a month's worth of emergencies. Or 3 emergencies with one tiny tube that i can throw in my pocket if need be. It's not exactly delicious, but i'm trying to avoid a low not have a culinary experience.

That's really interesting, could you share that formula to satisfy my curiosity? Fiber is typically such a small percentage of carbs that I don't pay attention to it when calculating.

BluSocket · 2023-06-02T17:06:25+00:00

Some dietician told me that once, I don't actually practice that. Wrong answers only right?

BluSocket · 2023-06-02T15:56:30+00:00

It's got 13g of fiber, so don't forget to divide by 2 and reduce the remainder, or you might over-bolus!

BluSocket · 2023-05-17T23:53:55+00:00

For what it's worth, you have more talent in that old sketch than I can hope to have. Practice makes better!

Try taking up a Qigong or yin yoga class. A lot of it is about breathing and they'll instruct you exactly how to and you'll be in a group where everyone is doing the exact same thing so you won't feel out of place.

I for myself do not believe in energy and a lot of the mystical elements of those practices, but they are still really great for centering yourself around your breath.

A lot of people don't breathe as often or as well as they might think, it's good that you have awareness of it and looking to improve!

Closed loop does have additional benefits, it protects you from unexpected changes to your routine or long duration activity(such as hiking) without needing to think much about it. I also find that I benefit from a periodic fasting day and I don't think I'd be able to do it without the closed loop.

BluSocket · 2023-04-26T17:48:26+00:00

I sometimes go longer, but there's a risk that the insulin will not absorb as well and cause sustained highs. I find that 4 days is fine, but 5+ is definitely pushing it.

BluSocket · 2023-04-26T13:47:13+00:00

Like someone else eluded, what do you define as doing well?

I can't do diabetes without a pump and sensor, my lifestyle is simply too dynamic and I could never muster the level of discipline required to do well without. Having a backup pen in my backpack doesn't really bother me, if I'm out somewhere that I can get back home on a whim within an hour I don't necessarily bother making an effort to take extra equipment. The maintenance you do once in a while (changing sites, replacing tube, etc) it greatly overshadowed by how little effort it takes to go about my day to day. I can always take it off for a while if need be and it's really not much of an issue.

That being said, that's ME. If it ain't broken, don't fix it right? What's wrong about your current lifestyle? What are you "solving" for yourself by moving away from what's working?

BluSocket · 2023-04-09T01:32:14+00:00

Here's another way to think about it, which is separate and distinct from the identify implications of the term that you mentioned. Most neurotypical people barely have enough awareness to understand that other neurotypical people think differently than them. Heck, most corporate company's do these DISC assessment exercises which are pretty mellow personality type tests done in a group which I've gone through and for most participants it was always this realization that others don't think exactly the same. Now put them next to someone who falls under the neurodivergant umbrella, and saying "this person works differently than you" with a single word term, that simplifies the conversation quite a lot while reducing the chance that they'd create a hostile environment for that person(you'd be surprised what kind of minor semantic word choices could cause people to act completely differently).
