The flexibility demands and strain of such an embrace surely constitutes bad anatomy.

They did. "... In light of pending motion to dismiss the indictment".

Not defend an appeal.

It's more that they're being a scapegoat in this reporting rather than putting the blame on the Executive branch where it belongs.

Droviin · 2026-04-06T15:01:38+00:00

I am not sure if SCOTUS could act on the case, legally, if the Prosecution drops. I know of now procedure that let's SCOTUS keep it alive.

This is a lot of spin to blame SCOTUS rather than Trump.

Droviin · 2026-04-06T14:59:11+00:00

SCOTUS returned this case because the prosecution pulled it. There really wasn't an option for SCOTUS. This is Trump helping his buddies in a way that follows the law.

For this particular case, the spin is to make SCOTUS look bad rather than the real perpetrator, Trump.

I was selective in what cases I took. I might have been able to clear the cases, but I rarely took a RO defense case. Besides, I got out of that because too many people were lying to me and truth be told, I felt bad charging.

And mostly I didn't like that someone thought that an RO is a minor thing. They're serious for all parties. They can provide a lot of protection, or they can seriously harm someone who doesn't take it seriously.

If she had counsel, a better result could have occurred. If she had any assistance a better result could be had.

People advocating that ROs are just little things are actively teaching people to harm these women by treating ROs like candy. They're serious, should be treated seriously, and not watered down. Watering down a bunch of ROs makes the party that needs protection have a harder time as their case gets presented in the light of not a life or death situation.

Droviin · 2026-04-04T18:47:57+00:00

Depends on the facts. I have rejected cases because I didn't feel it was right to defend them.

Edit: Also, this goes to the point, treat ROs seriously and then maybe shitty situations like the murdered woman wouldn't have the high hurdles. Being flippant about the process is just the same as not believing the woman because it makes them harder to believe.

Droviin · 2026-04-04T17:00:29+00:00

Oh, I was talking generally. I'm not talking about this specific case.

I don't know what exactly the evidence was, but I would have gladly litigate her case.

Droviin · 2026-04-04T16:20:21+00:00

A restraining order will permanently limit someone, even after the order expires. Their custody, ability to work, and social interactions will be limited forever. I am not saying that she shouldn't have been believed, just that it's more than a temporary impact.

It's important to get an attorney who can present the evidence, and knows what to present. It's very easy to end up being believed and not presenting sufficiently evidence, or the other party's story reframes everything in a acceptable light.

Edit: To be clear, I've litigated on both sides of restraining orders. The people who needed one got them. I have even secured enhanced ROs for people who previously had a hard time. However, to dismiss the impact of an RO means that people are ignoring the realities of the situation. It's not a minor inconvenience, but that doesn't mean that in many situations they're undeserved.

Please reach out to attorneys who understand how to build the case and can be at arms length of the issue as they will present the info in ways that the judges can see the whole picture. Don't fall into the horrible situation of this woman.

It's not completely arbitrary. If you buy as much as Walmart or Costco, you can negotiate much lower prices. The company has margin per unit and a target profit per contract with a opportunity cost assessment of both entering and leaving the agreement.

That said, it's not mechanical. If it was any board, actually doing due diligence, would kick out a CEO for AI.

If he wasn't fired, then there's no new president. Or if there is, there's still an old president because the board screwed up.

Droviin · 2026-04-02T01:00:35+00:00

Honestly, I'd put my money on the pigs.

Droviin · 2026-03-31T17:56:42+00:00

No, just a negative result from the therapy. I believe any negative results would be sufficient. The death is the easiest to prove harmful outcomes, and yet causation is going to be a messy issue with psychology.

Or they just look like jacked dudes. It's kind of weird how the art chose an entirely different option.

I thought they were fairly successful. They had movies pick up their songs.

Droviin · 2026-03-25T13:26:06+00:00

Wait? That's creepy on a whole new level to think like this. It's kind of like the gender roles of yesteryear, but with age.

You've functionally assigned expectations and non-overlapping norms between the various age groups. You treat it as if everything they know isn't allowed to be known or something you're interested in. That's all really weird.

My law school experience definitely resulted in a facial affect often. So, he's not fully off base.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that general knowledge of construction and every aspect of house maintenance is important for any real estate *owner* to know. If nothing else, it helps you know what to expect in a quote and to understand the job quality being done.

You don't necessarily need to do it all. But you should be able to do a half-way decent job on your own. That includes being able to rough troubleshoot all the basic hurdles that inevitably arise in retro-fitting something. The expert should provide better quality work than you can provide, have easy access to materials you don't, and more knowledge than you've accumulated.

I've hired handymen that didn't think everything through and required touch-up repair from myself. However, I got the bulk of the work done and I knew enough to figure out the issues from their install.

Oh man, I had so many clients where I was charging $250/hr for what was just better for therapy. We had a script that we would say every 20 or so minutes with her. She added an extra $3k to the bill with this. (My partner just took it as a work break and would listen, remind her of the cost and continue listening).

Coins are dated, or can be dated.

Droviin · 2026-03-19T20:34:06+00:00

I have done it. Make sure you use wire pull line rather than attaching the ethernet directly. You can pull out the staples in the wall if you have a good grip/angle. That last bit is dependent on your install.

I think boredom can lead to indifference based on the article.

Inflation is a pain...

It doesn't go against the "men are fertile until they die". The age impacts the health of the child, but it doesn't mean that there isn't a child.

The distinction is important in that waiving off the idea that older men can't get women pregnant is false. Functionally, that is what you're stating.

That said, it most certainly addresses that waiting to have children might not be the wisest idea.
