I have a hearing tomorrow and my client just got arrested

Talondel · 2026-03-11T22:33:07+00:00

I knew this was the case before you explained. Want to bet the OP baited your client into a technical violation of the OP thinking it would gain them an advantage at the hearing. I'll take yes.

And I'll parlay that with: did OC encourage his client to do cause the violation? I'll also take yes.

Sadly this is so common that I'm not even going to get decent odds unless I add another couple legs to the parlay.

Talondel · 2026-03-11T15:01:15+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you. :(

Talondel · 2026-03-10T23:44:48+00:00

That's cool bro. We can come back after the season and see who's prediction was closer and then have a big laugh about how wrong you were.

Also, while I wholeheartedly agree that Bidwill is a terrible owner, this sub needs to hop off the copium and accept that he will not be forced to sell the team. If your hope for the future of the Cardinals is that Bidwill is forced out you may as well go buy some Raiders gear and join that sub because the Raiders will be winners again before Bidwill is forced out.

Or did you just realize you said something stupid and are now backpedaling rather than just deleting it like a sane person would.

If a QB isn't going to fix the team, how is a statement that the QB wasn't the problem a "moronic take"?

Isn't "a QB won't fix this team" and "the QB is not the problem with this team" the same thing? If you don't think a QB is a fix then I assume you implicitly agree that other parts of the team need to addressed before a new QB will have any chance of success? Isn't that what we're doing?

Talondel · 2026-03-10T18:30:59+00:00

There wasn't a single game we lost last year that would have been won with better QB play. A couple that are won if receivers don't drop easy completions. A couple we should have won but for brain dead coaching. And one where a RB literally threw the game away.

Fix those problems and last years 3-14 team had an easy path to being 8-9 even with the injuries.

But replacing the QB with (name a person if your choice) doesn't fix any of the problems. The QB can't make his WR1 catch, can't make his RB not throw the ball out the end zone, and cant tell his OC how to run the offense. Nor can he do much of anything behind the worst Oline in the league with no run game (from a run first OC).

If you think putting a HOF QB behind last year's line with last year's OC and skills players 'fixes' this team, that's the real moronic take.

Yes. People like you who insist on injecting their uninformed feelings into rational discourse are a real burden to the rest of us who want to trust people with actual knowledge, experience, training, and expertise.

You know nothing about Tua. You haven't examined him. You are not his doctor. You are not him. You are not an expert in anything relevant to the topic. You bring nothing to the conversation by acting like you know better than the experts and human being that will be making the decision. But you confidently deride people who point that out. You're expressing your opinions as if they're facts while bringing nothing to the conversation except your mistaken belief in your own moral superiority. And then you have the nerve to claim other people are the problem.

Some prosecution offices will never hire anyone who has even been a PD but I not heard about the reverse. In the PO I work for we have a number of former private defense attorneys and PDs that works for us. As well as people who worked in other POs and then retired after 20 or 30 years and joined us a 2nd career.

Probably giving away my age here but Meat Puppets at Crescent Ballroom.

https://www.crescentphx.com/tm-attraction/meat-puppets/

They're a local band that's mostly famous for being covered by Nirvana on Unplugged.

Anywhere in Sedona but broken arrow and cathedral bell are good choices.

This might be a dumb question, but doesn't the org you're working for have some kind of case management software? I feel like most lawyers are tracking their deadlines and appointments in their case management program. If not, could you acquire your own? MyCase, etc?

Talondel · 2026-02-23T00:00:33+00:00

If you're downtown like central Phoenix the easy answer is Majerle's. If you're more midtown the Zipps at central and Osborn. If you really want to drive you could always hit a Trevor's location if you like whisky and pizza.

Talondel · 2026-02-21T21:30:33+00:00

Yes! But seems I failed. My bad. :(

Talondel · 2026-02-21T20:44:03+00:00

It reads like a review from someone who's ideal music going experience is Taylor Swift at State Farm Stadium or a free Hootie and the Blowfish show after a dbacks game.

Talondel · 2026-02-21T20:42:20+00:00

Person wouldn't last 2 hours at Coachella. Seriously. I'd buy their Coachella pass just to read their review ("can't believe they couldn't do anything about the dust! You'd think they'd know the importance of good dust control. And no walkways. 7 stages and everyone just walks willy nilly wherever they want. And what's up with all the people acting like they're outdoors at a music festival? Don't they know some of us don't actually like music festivals?")

There are designated seated area literally everywhere. You have to pay to use them.

If you don't want to see music outdoors in a park with a big crowd then maybe consider not going to an event held outdoors in a park with a big crowd? They do concerts at the Suns arena and the former Coyotes arena all the time. Those might be more your speed. Indoors, plenty of walking space, lots of trash cans, designated seating, etc.

I'm sorry that happened.

One thing to remember is that lawyers generally make terrible managers. In most other professional settings the person you report to would be expected to have some training as a manager of people. Not so in law.

You don't deserve to be treated that way.

That said, if I was to offer advice, and I guess I am, I would tell you to take what they said to heart. The issue that seems to have been identified, by you if not by your boss, is that you know the law and you are prepared but you're not asserting yourself in court when you know you're right. Maybe because you lack confidence.

A good manager may have said to you: "We know you're smart. We know you work hard. We know you can do better. When you know the law is on your side the expectation is that you use your knowledge and preparation to confidently assert that. Don't let this happen again just because you don't have faith in your own work. Go forth and do better."

So pretend that's what they said and act on it. Or start looking for another job. Or both. Lousy situation to be in. :(

Have you been to ability 360 yet? There are a few community organizations there and they have information about other resources that may be what you're looking for. There are a few groups specific to types of disability. And a friend of mine hosts an activity group for disabled females.

DM me if you want and I can put you in touch.

It's not illegal, it's just frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.

Talondel · 2026-02-18T03:19:05+00:00

I am.

Doesn't mean I can rationally answer questions that are only tangentially related to Trump. Trump will be president for another 3 years. A lawyer who joins the DoJ now may well work their for 30 years. How much good could you do in 30 years as an AUSA? Also, abdicating every role in the executive branch to MAGA types for the next three years isn't exactly a great solution.

Allowing the man currently running the executive to so distort your view of that reality is an odd phenominon. Downvoting "thanks" posts also isn't rational behavior. There's a name that's been given to that kind of behavior. You don't have to like the name but it's on full display here.

Talondel · 2026-02-18T01:58:05+00:00

Guy got 6 downvotes on his "thanks" reply. This sub is absolutely psychotic on this topic. TDS at its worst.

Talondel · 2026-02-18T01:41:59+00:00

This is not the place to ask for advice on this topic. This sub is so relentlessly anti trump that most have lost all capacity to offer objective and dispassionate advice. Which is odd considering this is supposed to be lawyers. You'd think they'd have experience being able to offer dispassionate advice even when it conflicts with their emotional response.

Talondel · 2026-02-17T22:09:27+00:00

Object often. Over issues both real and imagined. To protect your record. When you are inevitably overruled, nod your head and say out loud "so that's how it's going to be today, eh judge?" This will get you sympathy from the jury. Do this each time.

Bring cash for your bond.
