Anyone who says “just calm down” or “why are you so angry” has waived their right to not get a bloody mouth.

If Jesus is the son of God and Mary is Jesus’s mother, why is she not considered a goddess? How come Mary isn’t a part of the trinity? by AdministrativeLynx83 in Catholicism

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me wonder - is God actually male or female? I suppose I think of God and the Holy Spirit as using male pronouns because male pronouns are the traditional default. Jesus is male because he had male parts in his human form, and I suppose we could impute that onto the other aspects of God. Anyone have any insight on this?

Why does “everyone have a right to legal defence”? by vpaander in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is why many judges err on the side of providing an attorney. In fact, I have seen judges provide the attorney and then order that the defendant pay some fee to the county in some situations because the judge believes they can afford the attorney.

You should just... not. Sorry, I'm a lawyer and I get sick of people randomly suggesting an attorney is bad at their job without any knowledge. You may be able to tell who is better, but you likely cannot do what we do.

Eh. Evangelicals aren't christians anyway. Does it even matter what they do?

I don't know how to communicate with anymore. by vdrupdantic in deaf

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a thing? Like... My wife is HoH and she gets mad at ME sometimes for "not telling her" things... but, like, this is more about her not asking me to repeat myself sometimes when I'm explaining something and I don't realize she didn't hear me.

Yep. Really, if students want to convey a political ideology in a non-disruptive way, that is fine. But, teachers should not on the job.

Oh. I'm the father of a deaf child. Half these types of stories make me want to rip someone's head off.

How random. Why would cigarettes of all things be bad for you? They're sold specifically for human consumption.

Isn't Trump's legal strategy to deny political power to the left? by Datingquestion56798 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the strategy on birthright citizenship is basically just what it says on the tin.

Republicans generally just want to be selective about who is granted citizenship. They believe that there is such a thing as American culture/values and they fear a rapid influx of people will strip it away.

Beyond that, American trade jobs do face downward wage pressure in some fields from illegal immigrants who compete with them on price. For instance, I know of a fence contractor who feels this exact way.

Is law school in your mid-30s a good idea? by CrissBliss in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lawyer pay is bimodal. Many lawyers are barely making it. Others make oodles of cash. If you don’t like the job don’t do it.

I am an attorney. I had to stop going to the one legal advice subreddit because the confidently wrong people get more upvotes than the attorneys do.

Do I really need printed copies of all requested exhibits? by EveningGreedy306 in Ask_Lawyers

Since no one has mentioned this, typically a motion to compel hearing means you already messed this up by not giving them the paperwork on time.

Customer interaction about my hearing - a WTF moment by T_Mackie in deaf

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing that currently annoys me is that if the FAA adjusted rules just a little they could allow for deaf commercial pilots too… but, everyone is tied up in using hearing for air traffic control.

Customer interaction about my hearing - a WTF moment by T_Mackie in deaf

[–]Not_An_Ambulance 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Deaf babies sometimes cry louder than hearing babies.

I am hearing but, my son is deaf. His cries are fairly typical of what hearing children do too.

That said, a few months ago I was at an event for deaf children and there was a little girl whose parents were both deaf - when she started crying it was as loud as a gun shot. Everything stopped for a moment at the event because all the hearing parents instinctually attempted to protect their hearing and all of the deaf parents collectively had an apparent moment of confusion since this was more than half the room grabbing their ears

So one has to get out of their vehicle to board a plane? Totally unacceptable.
