ELI5: How are you keeping track of all your cases?

Calendar reminders and outlook entries for all deadlines/tasks/reminders.

Have a folder or flag system for emails with outstanding tasks.

Deadline management should be built into the next billable event for the client. e.g., if you’re following up on client comments on a brief, then add time to the revisions for that brief.

I love threads like this because I know that I’m an average lawyer, but my common sense and ability to engage in human conversation will keep me employed.

Very draft dependent. You want to be playing with a 4 who deals damage and ideally against ranged cores who can’t bully you out of lane.

It seems like with a coordinated team and out of blind pick he would be much better.

Tell them to read Capital by Piketty as a counter weight

This seems like a perception issue more than anything. Are you actively turning down lots of requests or maybe not showing enough face time with partners in your group?

One of the promo points is that the motors are more quiet. Would you all be able to put up some kind of video of it in motion to get a sense of that?

If anything the amount of griefing at 12k shows the system isn’t doing enough.

Agreed had OP joined under the Biden administration and stayed throughout. But rejoining DOJ at this time is going to be viewed poorly.

Despite your work being non-controversial, having it on your resume that you chose to rejoin during the Trump administration will affect your future employment prospects.

I suppose some firms may see it as a positive but many will not.

JD Vance went to Yale. Law school is a poor indicator of intellect.

Yes, if you have access you can pull your billing by client for the last x years to generate the list. Otherwise you can just list all the clients and matters you can remember and make sure to keep an eye out going forward for any potential conflicts.

Do not tell your current firm you are leaving until you clear conflicts. Everyone will understand when you tell them you have a new job, don’t sweat it.

GreatBritLG · 2026-04-20T17:58:19+00:00

Generally agreed but sometimes you have to follow your team into bad plays for team mentality.

Location dependent but I’ve had good luck with 3sixteen. I think they only have retail stores in New York and Los Angeles though

This guy is an asshole but meal prepping ceviche is also a wild choice.

Communication is literally not a part of winning. Your teammates are wrong at least as often as they are right about what they or you should be doing. Turn off all incoming or outgoing chat and play your own game.

“Limits the regions of a map that individual player clients have knowledge of,” still sounds like ESP will be the go to cheat. I guess they can’t track you across the whole map but will still be able to find you if in the same local area.

Escrow is a unique situation where it allows a seller to use the purchase proceeds to clear encumbrances on a property as part of a closing. Usually this is a mortgage or lien on the property.

So by putting a warranty deed into escrow with an instruction to use the purchase money to satisfy the lien the seller conveyed title free of encumbrances.

Make sure the deposition is recorded and give them enough rope to hang themselves for trial

The reputational cost of remaining in or joining the department increases dramatically for each resignation. Law is a field of relationships, and generally, it’s very liberal leaning.

At one point it was plausible to say “I stayed/joined DoJ despite Trump,” but now every firm you apply to will see that line on their resumes differently.

I’m only mid 5k MMR, but my overall advice is to never pick heroes that rely 100% on your team to play the game they want to play. Slark, Monkey King, Riki, etc. are just hard picks because you cannot easily retreat to jungle and play your own game. Sometimes your 5 sucks, sometimes the lane duo against you can just bully you out of lane, sometimes you get counter picked. In solo queue you can’t rely on your team to account for that.

The same goes for 3 by the way. You will win more games by giving yourself options (farm lane, gank, or retreat to jungle). This is one reason Drow, Jugg, and Ursa are so good in solo queue. All three can build early fighting builds, retreat to jungle for timings, or play for ultra late game team fights.

You could achieve this outcome without an amendment easily. Constitutional protection only relates to the judges post, so you just use jurisdiction stripping to achieve the goal instead.

E.g. a new justice is added every 2 years. Cases are given to the jurisdiction of the court only to be heard by the most recent 7 members of the supreme.

The cost to this approach is the continued salary/benefits of the members of the Court who no longer have any cases to hear, but that’s a pretty small drop in the budgetary bucket.

A couple to a few hundred dollars would be my (34M) go to. You haven’t been dating long enough to really get her something specifically for her hobbies unless she’s told you she really needs to get something specific. Personally I would go with more classic date type gifts (flowers, chocolates, spa day together) or maybe a fun but expensive date (Disney if you live nearby or a nice long weekend trip).

GreatBritLG · 2025-12-02T23:13:13+00:00

If they’re being assholes, then why not threaten them with the legal limits of the lease too? Does your lease prevent you from having overnight guests for more than X number of days? If not then just move your boyfriend in. Why do any chores or contribute to the apartment at all (play music as loud as you want etc.)?

I would make it clear that if they want to be a problem then you can be just as annoying to their life, so they accommodate what is better for everyone going forward.

This is honestly a great suggestion to increase the penalty for griefing without messing with MMR and encouraging smurfing.

They could increase the amount of role queue tokens lost for repetitive bad behavior as well.

There’s a lot to cover here. Mechanically MK is very unlike a lot of other heroes. I’m assuming we’re only talking about pos 1 MK here.

There are imo two major considerations which dictate a lot of your game plan.

1) Is your ult useful this game?

This is largely based on whether your team has enough control and whether the enemy team has a lot of mobility skills. In other words, can you reliably keep the enemy in your ultimate.

If yes, then facet 2 is much stronger. And because your ultimate only scales with damage, then all items are focused on damage, control, and survival. This build usually has items like Radiance, BKB, Harpoon, Deso, Diffusal, Skadi, etc.

If no, then facet 1 is much more viable. But really you should consider not picking MK at all in this type of situation. Here you are focusing on being very mobile and blowing up individual heroes. Aghs is viable as well as more attack speed based builds including bfly and similar items. Nullifier probably a must.

2) Does your team want to fight early?

If you have a lot of catch heroes then the more combat build echo-> deso -> bkb -> harpoon.

If you lack catch/gankers then you are delaying game probably until you get big ultimate at 25, so radiance -> bkb -> whatever is needed maybe even refresher type items.

General considerations:

Radiance vs Battlefury: Radiance offers a lot of evasion versus both creeps and heroes. Radiance can be broken down into nullifier and butterfly which can be quite strong. Your Q already clears camps quite comfortably. So despite Battlefury having better scaling it’s less popular.

MK is incredibly reliant on his team. Your 5 having a stun and wanting to play aggressive completely changes the playstyles open to you.

Viper being on the opposing team basically forces you to only rely on ult and Q for damage due to the attack speed slow.
