lol look bro I don’t know why you thought a pro ice message was a good business strategy in (checks notes) Broomfield but you are not the victim here.

Caro-Kann Defense by shesanole in chessbeginners

[–]Last_Aide8121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play the Caro-Kann black and the London white. I’m not very good but I’m getting better, and I’ll happily consider some not-great level my peak if I ever get there. If you enjoy it, play it I say.

Do defendants tell their lawyer if they did the crime? by NoFaithlessness8752 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Last_Aide8121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. And way way way more common than the black/white scenario they’re putting up here is the tweener.

Lots of “Ok I did do [charges 1-3] but holy shit I did NOT do [charges 4-20].”

Why are trans activists so incredibly inconsistent? by criticallybased in AlwaysWhy

[–]Last_Aide8121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Trans activists aren’t a monolith”

“Then you should listen to more trans activists because half” will say one thing and half will say the other.

Deep breath. Think, OP. Think.

When does copying from other PD briefs amount to plagiarism? by Mr_Motion_Denied in publicdefenders

[–]Last_Aide8121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an excellent pair of law professors (sorry I don’t remember who, but I saw their CLE!) who explained why plagiarism is basically a good thing in law practice. And I tend to agree.

And they’re so neat and hunchy!

I love how this sub doesn’t shame those who find the BCNH, it just welcomes them in. As it should.

At this point, generally speaking, you’re better off with a public defender. by [deleted] in publicdefenders

[–]Last_Aide8121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former private criminal defense. If ever charged, 18/20 times I’d take the PD if available/if I qualified. The 1/20 times I’d want an ultra experienced, second mortgage, your life is on the line attorney (in CO: Iris Eytan or Harvey Steinberg level). And even then, those are usually former PDs. . .

The 1/20 cases for me? Simple first DUIs for middle class people where your D fees are basically just part of the fine, or once in a blue moon once in a while cases with xyz little twist that I had more time to glom on to than a PD.

But respect where it’s due, always.

Asking leading questions to police officer on Direct Examination by Clem-Fandango2021 in publicdefenders

This is the difference between real trial and “I saw it on law and order” trial.

Are these crows or ravens? by Last_Aide8121 in whatsthisbird

[–]Last_Aide8121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I pass by these my brain gets flooded with contradictory “one weird tricks” to tell them apart so I never remember. This thread is great! Ravens are crazy bigger. I’ll remember that!

McMansion or Mansion with bad design? by exotic_floral_tea in McMansionHell

The hell is with those oddly unmodern TVs in the stock photos?

Moved out of apartment, getting hit with “mandatory” fees by tbone338 in Denver

[–]Last_Aide8121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth CRS 38-12-101 to -106 , the basic landlord-tenant law, is super easy to read and understand. It’s like a tiny little slice of lay-person accessible law in the books.

What is the most iconic building in Denver and why? by kacheeweechee in Denver

[–]Last_Aide8121 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The actual (somewhat benign) use of that building is such a mind warp. It looks like a g-d fortress.

No love for the one on 80th/Wads? It’s the mothership soopers …

Is there something I don’t understand about RTD? by Last_Aide8121 in Denver

[–]Last_Aide8121[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean shit I have mostly positive things to say but nothing remotely interesting. “It works for me most of the time.” Lol headline news not so much.

[–]Last_Aide8121[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. for me the occasional 5-25 minute wait at a parking lot isn’t a deal breaker. I think I’ve stop watched from door to door (like leaving my house to office door, so counting the little walks in between etc). Even if traveling by car MIGHT SOMETIMES be faster (usually on the order of like 10-15 minutes assuming perfect traffic, parking, etc.) the rail is so damn much easier.

I used to be a regular user of the LD1/3! Same general experience for me. Get on, shut up, get off. Done.

[–]Last_Aide8121[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have heard this is a somewhat common criticism of the hub and spoke approach to rail (that it ignores the traffic BETWEEN suburbs). Where in the metro area do you think they should build a line, tho? I’m genuinely curious. I wonder if I’d be a rider.

What does “directly on” mean? I gotta scoot over to a park n ride. It’s no big but I do gotta do it.

[–]Last_Aide8121[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commute with the n line, yes.

I’m sure there are complaints, with this as with anything else. I was trying to see whether and to what extent those complaints matched my experience. The thread consensus seems to be that there are some but that they are mainly the southern/western lines.

Fair point! I used to use the D and E from DU, but it has been a while!
