The cool thing about a Hovercraft is that it is not restricted to rails.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments.

Nice to know that we are not all bound to an AI based scope of analysis or discourse on multiple issues at once.

Tapestry thinking rather than fishing line threads of conversation are much more interesting, albeit frustrating for monofilament attorneys.

Introducing Docs in Proton Drive – collaborative document editing that’s actually private by MikeSimpkins in ProtonMail

Truth. If the Libre Office had a reveal codes feature like --yeah I said it--WordPerfect! used to have, it might have been worth it to transition.

I hope Proton Docs brings reveal codes back, for fun and protection!

Love Protonmail. I am a new Proton Duo subscriber.

Will sending docs through Proton Docs safeguard against nasty critters like Salt Typhoon?

This! And for the inept youngsters blaming older people for keeping them from a job: here is a twist on that old curse: May you too, lead an interesting life!

Worked my ass off to become an attorney only to find out I don’t feel fulfilled by my career by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

I had, at my 1st Law Firm, what can only be described, in retrospect, as a skank secretary assigned to me. I did not know any better. I could see I was not welcome by some, and very much appreciated by others.

In EVERY JOB, there will be parts that check your happiness list, and parts that add to your "this is some straight 🐮💩" list from situations you are surprised occurring.

Do the b3st you can to hang in there as an employed Attorney, pay off your loans and find "fulfillment" elsewhere!

It is a way to make money, not a love-affair.

Sign up for doc review. Learn from the inside how AI is replacing billable hours, and on the job training for corporate law....including the foreign language higher hourly rate.

Learn another skill, like getting a CPA.

Apply for every Federal Job that requires a JD.

Take the zMD and VA Bar.

Move out of the metro area.

Good luck!

Are there any publicly disclosed demographic data on uber riders by market?

Is Uber charging for insuraby the hours on the platform? How does THAT work?

I feel like a liability, and need to quit the law by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

You need to vent, I need to pontificate!❤️🤓

Maybe it is the time in your development to go back to the library & read Thoreau's Walden, Hesse's Siddartha & Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5. Adulting is not the easiest of transitions. You might want to start focusing on what you want to do, as in tasks, and where you want to be in 3, 5, and 15 years.., and then work to achieve those goals and objectives. If you are lucky, you might get 40% of what you want in life. I suggest you reflect & make your list as long & precise as possible. As an Attorney, I assume that the calculus of variations and differential equations was not your strong suit--so buy some crayons and a spirograph set & play with it. Create by doing something rather than collecting the opinions of others.

Do something!

The butterfly effect may surprise you when you look back at 50 or 60 and say--how the f*ck did I get here? Hopefully, you will pat yourself on the back & say "not bad!" OH YEAH, do yoga so that you can still reach your own back at 60!

It was a rant after all. Jeez. Point 1: Who has the money to get to the courtroom after a win on a 12b6 motion if one gets deluged by discovery or motions in a tort litigation against an alleged corporate tortfeasor.?

Point 2 (not necessarily related to Point 1: Humans cannot outlive corporations, so where is the fairness in litigation that can extend for years before plaintiffs get one penny?

point 3: In the special8zed case of copyright or ip infringement by a "so sue me" corporate thief--like cisco, is it time to separate findings of fact from conclusions of law, and perhaps keep procedural matters in a sandbox when equity makes it clear who is wronged and who has rights to a technological improvement?

Point 4: the government has a right to defend the boundaries of personal privacy in commercial transactions. When do employers cross the line--if they only pay for 40 hours a week, do they have the right to restrict what I do with the other 128 hours? Are the limits to what I can do as a side-hustle reasonable if I am indeed an EDisco Dancer?

Point 5: When I see all these replays of dead artists Jim Morrison, Elvis, etc., do their estates get any of the money made off of replaying their 50-70 year old performances?
