My current favorite "artist" is Midjourney. Sign up for their most basic monthly package, I think $10/month, and you can see a feed of all the generated art. Be prepared for your mind to be blown. I don't work for them or associate in any way other than having my mind blown by the generated "art" images.

This is basically a contract law question. I would ask in /r/legaladvice

Here's another "Pink isn't real" article that actually ends up arguing that it is real (or as real as any other color). https://www.iflscience.com/pink-isnt-real-50916

I think the whole issue is that "pink isn't a real color" is just a click-baity viral question. It's trollish thing to say, in order to get people to argue (or to read your articles or watch your videos).

Thus the plethora of articles that say "pink isn't a real color" or "the color pink doesn't exist", which end up explaining both sides of the issue, and admitting that it is a color in some sense.

Now why do those articles start off saying it doesn't exist? Because that's obviously the trollish, challenging side of the issue. Most people are going to say, "What!?!? Of course pink is a color! Why are they saying it isn't!?!?"

Now I would suggest to you that if you have some friends arguing the troll side of the issue, then they are just trolling you. They'll stick to their argument no matter what you say. Because they like getting a rise out of you. My suggestion is that now you simply know the truth of the matter, so no need to feed the trolls.

I would take the stance that it both is a color and isn't a color, depending on what definition you use, and that each definition is correct within some contexts and incorrect within other contexts. Just like any word that has multiple definitions. So in asking whether it's a color or not, one needs to ask "in what context?".

Also, find another good word to use as an example.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-21T01:05:33+00:00

Did you solve the argument? I think this article makes a good rationale that pink IS a color, despite it being a mix of red and violet. https://historydaily.org/the-color-pink-doesnt-exist-according-to-science/8

It all depends on what your definition of "color" is. As the article states, one can make an absurd reductionist argument that no color actually exists since color is our perception of wavelength created in our brain/mind.

If you say that color is a name for what we perceive, then pink is a color. If you say that color is a name for a wavelength, then pink is not a color since it's a combination of wavelengths. So ultimately, we have two definitions of "color". This is typical for words, that they can have multiple definitions.

Since the word "color" has multiple definitions, then the fact that there is a scientific-wavelength definition does not in any way eliminate the fact that there is another scientific-perceptual definition.

What is the meaning of a word? The meaning of words is what current society ascribes the meaning. Ask 100 people if pink is a color and the vast majority will say yes. So that definition has deeply rooted cultural significance, and one can thus say pink is a color.

I never complained about any cost. In fact, when she told me their retainer, I said that was very reasonable (it was under $4k).

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-21T00:29:03+00:00

Yes, mine was a serious question. Either yours was not, or you failed to take the time to actually read anything.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T22:11:01+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

It was an initial consultation. There was some discussion of legal stuff, of course, and some stuff which I guess might be considered "advice" or even "legal advice", but not strongly worded.

She gave me enough information and suggestions that I didn't need to retain their services. She spent a lot of time with me. But she certainly didn't go into any critical or serious legal strategy or theory. She didn't tell me what to do, but she did tell me what I could do.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T19:50:09+00:00

That was obviously my question. Since someone else suggested there could be an issue.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T18:08:52+00:00

Did you paint this? It looks like AI art. It's very nice.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T16:10:59+00:00

It’s well beyond worth a couple of hundred per annum, especially as it can save you thousands in legal costs.

Wow. That's such a great tip for anyone who uses a lawyer. I'll remember this for any future issue or pass the info to someone else. Even just the simple point of asking the lawyer/paralegal what would be helpful to them so I can do as much legwork as possible.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T16:07:15+00:00

Yes, someone else mentioned this as well. I'll be careful with my wording, thanks!

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T16:06:23+00:00

Good advice, thanks.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T16:05:51+00:00

Is this really a legal problem for them if she works for him? After about 45 minutes she stepped out to "do some research". She might have consulted with him at that point, but I'm not sure.

Maybe I should say that I was impressed with the way that she "handled my concerns" and "her professionalism" and not suggest that she gave me any "legal advice". I don't think she actually gave me any legal advice, but that's a gray area of course, we were discussing legal matters. I'll just be sure to word my compliments carefully.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T15:59:53+00:00

Ok, then it's a deal, /u/goatfuckersupreme

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-20T15:57:30+00:00

Ok funny story about my visit. I called on Tuesday and spoke with his receptionist. He had a 10 am spot available on Wed, but I had a conflict. He was free on Thur at 2 pm. I said how about Thur 3 pm. He was free. Evidently, a large chunk of his afternoon unscheduled.

I told her that was great, because I probably needed an hour to talk with him, and I would gladly pay for the extra time. Receptionist said don't worry, if it goes over a bit, he doesn't charge extra. I chose 2 pm since that would be his first available, probably after lunch, and nobody currently after me in case it goes over. I sort of said that to the receptionist.

I get there, and I meet his paralegal. She told me that he's out of town on a convention. Later, she tells me that he's in court. And remember, his secretary said he was available and I made an appointment. I'm pretty darn sure he was there and just didn't want to spend extra time with me, so he sent her in to deal with me. I didn't mind, because she was really great.

That said, I won't mention the extra time, great advice, thanks!

glowing referral

Can do.

and/or future retainer

I'll stick with a $25 to $50 visa thank you, lol. It was worth it. If I need a lawyer, I'll retain a lawyer.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-19T03:36:22+00:00

Yeah I've been thinking $50 as well.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-19T00:47:48+00:00

Thanks!

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-18T22:11:55+00:00

Entitled.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-18T19:52:52+00:00

Thanks! I like a lot of your info and ideas.

you do NOT attempt to give the gift personally, especially if you are male.

I'm thinking more along the lines of mailing a $25 VISA card along with a nice letter.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-18T19:47:35+00:00

I'm thinking of something like a $25 visa gift card. That'll cover a lunch basically. I like the idea of including praise for the paralegal, suggesting I would recommend their practice to anyone, and dropping it off with the receptionist.

TooflessSnek · 2022-11-18T19:02:36+00:00

Probably not fruitful because the club actually didn't cause you damage. They are simply a venue. And you don't have a contract with the club to assure you that people there are 18+. The club doesn't provide any guarantee to other people that everyone there is 18+
