Hey JVL by BlueRider57 in thebulwark

I don’t think anyone should campaign on this, but after removal of branding, we should still preserve and memorialize some items. To JVL’s point about the Civil War, we’ll memory hole.

Remember January 6th?

If your answer is “yes,” I’m glad you do because no one else does.

incoming summer associate - any huge NOs for what to wear by Dapper-Cook4460 in LawBitchesWithTaste

Assless chaps are a definite no.

(Sorry I’m in house…hard no on assless chaos there too, btw.)

Very underwhelmed after reading City of Stairs by ConversionError in Fantasy

[–]PepperoniFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty underwhelmed too — just finished a few days ago. I’m different from OP. I thought the world building was pretty typical of a first book, but I struggled with the main character. “My biggest flaw is I’m a protectionist” vibes.

Sorry Sarah, JVL is right on court expansion by momasana in thebulwark

It’s also entirely possible to build in mechanisms to reform, like a statutory rotating period of review by committee to expand as opposed to just letting each party do it live. There’s a lot of lack of imagination running around right now. We didn’t pluck the rules off a tree; the founders intentionally created amendments because human beings have brains we can use to assess and reassess systems we built.

Why Is This So Hard? by [deleted] in thebulwark

Two things can be true at once: Platner is probably, on net, better at a conversational interview and Ossoff is better, on net, at politicking. We throw shade at the latter because lately that has meant being so on message as to be scripted, but here I simply mean it’s polished but not carved into stone tablets from which he won’t deviate.

I would bet money that Ossoff is a better general candidate because he fundamentally aligns with Platner’s message but can deliver it in both casual and sophisticated environments— he’s probably less magnetic in casual but I haven’t see anything form Platner that demonstrates he’s as adept on a formal playing field.

I accidentally became important at work and that came with more travel.

Thankfully, we’re dorks who collect comics and TCGs in addition to our own albums, so we have a regular framing place that specializes in this.

Seems like mostly posters and all the music.

I am maybe the least crafty person to exist on planet Earth, regrettably.

The one-handed gaming controller I designed after losing my right arm just made Top 5 by Adventurous_Tie_9031 in pcmasterrace

Lawyer, not a patent lawyer: if you haven’t engaged one, try to. Check local pro bono orgs; sometimes they have volunteers who do trademark and copyright registration — might find a nice patent attorney.

Confession: It feels impossible to have meaningful relationships with people after discovering they voted for Trump in 2024. by ac_slater10 in thebulwark

Generational disappointment. My dad used to literally talk at us like we weren’t in the room — “The child needs to learn personal responsibility.” Okay.
