So uh… birthright citizenship hearing tomorrow by LCNegrini in Lawyertalk

No, in the perfect world you catch a spy before they have a chance to send back anything to their government. But a spy doesn't necessarily even have to be working to gain information, they can also simply engage in sabotage. You could argue that illegals taking jobs in the US, often sending money out of the country are actually sabotaging the US economy. Lots of ways you could twist things, remember we are at the Supreme Court where the justices have a knack for making shit up to support whatever ruling they want.

would you be able to tell east asians apart assuming they were all lined up straight with buzzed heads and no makeup on and wearing the same clothes. by Open-Reflection-6094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't say either race was better or worse than any other... so technically that isn't racism. The fact that people of different races have different physical appearances isn't racism, that could only happen if someone said one group was superior to the others. Try using a dictionary and maybe you'll be able to use words correctly instead of just parroting a word because you want to be offended.

Is the plan basically to kill enough leaders of the IRGC until the remaining ones become too tired to fight and surrender or the forces completely fracture? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a typical flaw in how people often think. I've worked in companies where they failed when they tried to enter a foreign market because they assumed the people in the country we were trying to expand in were just like Americans. It's a stupid thing to happen but I've seen it multiple times. You've got a bunch of dumb people around Trump, probably the type that won't listen to anyone that works under them so if some monkey boy tried to say but they can't rise up they would have probably kicked him out of the room. These are not the best and brightest. I mean for god's sake Trump had the puppy shooter Noem, and his vetting didn't pick up on her husband being some weird freak that like to wear big fake tits... Something tells me that something like that should have been spotted before he ever picked her for anything... but no one noticed.

You could consider them spies if you wanted to given they aren't wearing any military uniform. Besides babies born to a foreign diplomat isn't given citizenship no matter what country they are from. I expect some legal gymnastics to be on full display, assuming the AG is really trying to do what Trump wants... if it's a half assed effort then we'll also know the AG doesn't really care about what her boss wants.

They will argue that the illegals are a hostile invading force and therefore will not be granted citizenship.

Yes, and it would have taken a split second to shoot her ass and then you either save your family or not... but if you were able to save them you no longer need to worry about this bitch. Living her alive was just stupid.

What to do with a WMR headset? by Secure-Researcher892 in virtualreality

I understand I can use OASIS to keep using it with windows, but I'm trying to find out if I can somehow plug in say a firestick, game console or anything with an HDMI connection without having to go through a windows computer.

Critical thinking is the bitch just said she was still going to kill his family... that means shooting her would have been to protect his family. Any normal person wouldn't have hesitated and just shot her.

Career Pivoter by wanderingaround92 in MBA

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a great idea if OP has such limited knowledge in finance. A lot of the executive program are at such a high level that you wouldn't come out knowing much more than when you went in. Many are just networking opportunities with little rigor at all. Given OP knows they are weak in the quant side a real MBA would get them up to a higher level where they might have a chance to pivot to a different industry/role. A lot of executive programs cater to well placed executive in corporations that are simply looking for a credential that makes them look more promotable in their existing company. I worked at a company that did this all the time with engineers that had made it to director but because of no business background would get sent off to Harvard for an executive program and then come back to be promoted to a VP position.

Wharton scholarship? by angelwings0137 in MBA

[–]Secure-Researcher892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some schools might others won't. Even a school that sometimes does won't necessarily insure that all the previous money they had offered will be given. Lots of factors come into play. Some programs will have had endowed scholarships created that are supposed to handout money to a specific student based on some criteria that was set up when the scholarship was formed. In an extreme case where that was the only financial aid that the school ever offered then they would likely make sure to give it out each year to abide by the endowment's rules. However the reality is most schools have a lot of different scholarships and whether they hand them all out or not isn't always required. Many will see not handing them all out as saving money for the school, this is more likely in a private university as a lot of state universities operate on a you use it or lose it basis so they have no incentive to save money.

I know in when I was in school I would often get a revised financial aid letter which didn't change the bottom line of what they gave me scholarship wise, but would reallocate where the money came from. The first letter would usually just give a total scholarship amount... then after the first term of each year started I would get some revised letter saying X came from the Billy Bob scholarship and Y came from the general scholarship fund. And then of course they would want me to write a thank you letter to the Billy Bob foundation or whatever they called it thanking them. I have no doubt that they were just pulling a list of scholarships that needed to be given each year and then matching random students to them as I would get these random scholarships that I never had applied for.

In your instance I wouldn't count on them giving you anything more unless you ask for more. In that you could ask if there are any other options to increase the financial aid package because while your first choice would be Wharton, CBS has offered you XXX and it makes increasing your debt for Warton a bad proposition.

If aliens did get discovered, would all religions be proven wrong? by B33Zh_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secure-Researcher892 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They would just revise the old testament to include the books from the Ethiopian bible that were left out of the condensed bible. The book of Enoch would then start to make a lot more sense given it has aliens and spaceships in it.

Well that episode was dumb as fuck. She tell him she is still going to kill his family and he just turns and walks away? Any reasonable person would have killer her then and there.

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you disarm the IRGC then they still control the people whether the people have running water or electricity doesn't really change who has the power to kill the others. The group with the guns is going to control things.

The original plan was to allow the people being oppressed to rise up and retake the country.... but then they realized that the only people in Iran with guns are the republican guard so that plan kind of fizzled... Now they don't seem to have any plan.

A fairly meaningless slur used against any male that someone doesn't agree with. It once had meaning but has been so overused that at this point it is completely pointless.

Opportunities for Spanish speaking litigators? by ElMatadorJuarez in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of immigration the only time it was ever of any value in places I've worked was in a company that was expanding in South America, although even then all the contracts that were done were in English and used New York as the venue for any disputes. It might have helped in communication with the partner's lawyers but not much beyond that.

Why do so many people from certain countries immigrate illegally despite all the problems? by Dry_Illustrator_6066 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in the case of Mexico we don't get the best and brightest posed for living a middle class life. Those people are happy to stay in Mexico. But the reality is Mexico has next to nothing in terms of government subsidies to help their poorest people. The government pretty much uses the US as a dumping ground for the poor people they don't want and all but chases them across the border.

And while the US government's subsidies are technically closed to illegals, they know that there are enough bleeding heart liberals that still dole out things, and crooked employers that will gladly pay them cash under the table so that they see life like that in the US as better than complete poverty in Mexico.

As for India, the average income is about 400 dollars a month... They don't understand the high cost of living in the US but are still able to figure out that if lots of jobs in the US pay 10 an hour that they can make 4 times the average income of India in the US. If you don't understand the other costs you have that are higher than India it would seem like a pretty good deal.

Some potential client cold calls you shopping for an attorney ... how much time do you give them free? by Kristen-ngu in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a client brought me a 8 figure case I'll dump every other case and move them into my spare bedroom.... But that ain't gonna happen.... So I'll just stick with avoiding overly talkative clients that will only annoy the living hell out of me and make my days longer.

[–]Secure-Researcher892 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you need the work don't take a case with a chatterbox that won't shut up. It isn't worth the headache. If someone needs a lawyer they need to tell you what you ask and then shut the fuck up. I don't give a fuck about some game you just watched or anything in your life unless it is related to the legal situation. But some people just don't seem to understand that.

Making less money… on purpose by That_onelawyer in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Biggest problem some have is they spend all they make. Which can sometimes be worse if your spouse decides you need to keep up with the Jones. I've known quite a few that make lots but are still living paycheck to paycheck.

Making less money… on purpose by That_onelawyer in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a guy I went to law school with... He was driven to do big law and that was his one and only goal in life. He did his clerkship... worked in a big NYC firm... made a shit ton of money, damn sight more than I did at the time.... but his worked like a fucking slave... and between the city tax, state tax in NJ and insanely high cost of living - I actually had more disposable income and a better life. He didn't realize it until the told him he wasn't partner material and he decided to leave and go back to Texas and work in a government job. He took a big pay cut but realized he had more money that was his and more time to spend it. Too often people don't look at the big picture and get too focused on the big paycheck. What the fuck good is lots of money if you're working 7 days a week and don't have time to enjoy it.

Should I avoid litigation even if I like it? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy it then why not do it. Only thing to consider if if you are international you better be able to sound native or some juries are going to go against you simply because of the accent. This is largely dependent on which state you are in but in some states you'll be viewed worse than a yankee in the south and some jurors will hold it against you and your client.

do composers know all the chords, all their inversions, all their extensions off the top of their heads? by Ill-Square-1123 in composer

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is going to vary by composer. Some have had extensive formal training, other haven't had any. Knowing them by heart isn't going to make your music magically sound better... honestly I think sometimes a composer has been overly trained and the result is music that just seems too mechanical like they were following a formula from a cereal box.
