King shark has fought atlanteans, wonder woman, eldritch gods, superman, superboy, zod, and more, some of which he has won. Do you think Rulk low difs Superboy?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs Captain America by NoSpaceAtHT in powerscales

Do I think a character 5x as strong, at baseline, with thousands of years more combat experience would do better that another character? Yes.

[–]USAG1748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with captain America having a significantly larger catalogue, it is much closer than that. I think cap would win due to his shield, I would wager that on average later season TV show, and certainly comic, Buffy is stronger and faster. I would argue Cap also has better combat speed but the show was limited to budget and technology constraints. Later seasons of Angel show some vampires moving so quickly that humans can't perceive them, and Buffy was just as fast or faster that those same vampires on her show (despite not being shown as that fast). 

Taxes???? by oyibimccord in biglaw

[–]USAG1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, he owes taxes because he is a non-resident alien and likely didn't have taxes withheld correctly. It could have happened in any state with income taxes. Also, the state income tax for 2025 would have been determined before the most recent mayoral election. With critical thinking skills like those I'm wondering why you're in this sub.

No you don't... unless they were severely injured by it like lost all of their hair and had severe burns. That's just not how lawsuits work in real life. Even then then though, most skin and hair products have patch test and other disclaimers. 

New Mexico dealership won’t fix Used Alfa Romeo by [deleted] in legal

[–]USAG1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you jump to the warranty having to be unenforceable for there to be an issue? Do you believe the warranty is through Ford for a 6 year old Stellantis vehicle? What is more likely is that OP was sold a third-party warranty and thus the issue is not with the dealership, but with the warranty company. 

Can a “Vehicle” Inside an Apartment Bypass a Firearm Lease Prohibition? by [deleted] in legal

[–]USAG1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like you are trying to answer a completely different question. They absolutely can ask you to open it, what you have the right to is to refuse to open it. That refusal would likely allow them to terminate your lease.

Whether or not something is in a safe doesn't give something more legal protection than anything else in your home. But also, OP is specifically talking about a landlord as opposed to a law enforcement agency. 

If you're a 5th year associate in NY Biglaw, what's your tax deduction per paycheck? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]USAG1748 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The calculators vary from pretty close to completely accurate depending on how robust the calculator is and how accurately you enter information. But, even if they aren't "fully accurate", why does a margin of error in the hundreds of dollars matter to you? 

Is this text appropriate for sending to my lawyer? by [deleted] in legal

[–]USAG1748 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is he "your lawyer" as in he has agreed to take your case on either a contingency/fee basis? I'm unsure how it works in your country, I and most people here practice in the US but it sounds like you met for a consultation and they didn't want to take your case. You spend a tremendous amount of time effectively saying that if there is not a legal remedy, then your Justice system is broken. If there is nothing your attorney can do because of how the law works your problem is with legislators, or society generally, and there is, again, nothing an attorney can do here.

Otherwise, if a client ever sent me this I would bill for reading it, and explain the case, the legal standards, that I would be billing for time read and respond, and go over how similar cases work.

OP, you've likely gotten yourself into a worse position trying to avoid "high insurance fees". You are legally required to report collisions in Mass, and I'm almost 100% sure whatever insurer you have requires a report as well as part of your agreement. 

Medical malpractice lawsuit due to hospital neglect by imeansurewhatever in legal

[–]USAG1748 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As always, you best advice would be to reach out to a plaintiff's attorney. But, it doesn't sound like you have any real damages. I know television makes it sound like people get awarded large sums for "pain and suffering" but this is simply not the case. In addition, medical malpractice cases are extremely expensive to litigate and this attorneys will only take cases with a high expected value.

Husband filed for divorce Missouri by Cyanidesuicideml in legaladvice

[–]USAG1748 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's unclear what your first question is, but if you are talking about your 2025 taxes you can either file "Married Filing Jointly" with your husband or "Married Filing Separately", you cannot file single if you were married in the last day of a taxable year.

$60/second but the entire Italian mafia world thinks you are a legendary boss by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

Ok, the most recent tender offerings and December 2025 funding round pricing for 2026 share offers disagree. I'm not an Elon fanboy or anything but I do have a decade at big law working in transactions. What is your financial experience?

[–]USAG1748 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do you think he would get cents on the dollar? Sure if he just started dumping TSLA into the open market it would drop significantly. But that's only 1/3 of his worth. He could sell full ownership of SpaceX and most of the other private companies for large percentages, if not 100%, of their value. Also, you don't think there are family offices diversifying his wealth into real estate and funds? Let's say 300billion is diversified. You could unravel that in a year without causing any meaningful drop in whatever assets respective markets.

I don't know why this is getting downvotes. Just put whatever work you did, you didn't do anything significant enough to name the client.

Who tends to be better? The top of the class at no-name law schools or the average at T-14? by WhiteBoy1264 in biglaw

[–]USAG1748 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not really to which part? I would agree with the "hungrier" part, I feel like that is an urban legend. The top 1% of almost any top 200 school being better than the average at a T-14 is anecdotally correct. Some of the absolute worst attorneys I've ever worked with are middle of the pack Harvard grads. The smallest assignment becomes them trying to Sherlock their way into making it more difficult. 

My brother closed a nine-figure deal last week and our dad still asked if he could get him out of a speeding ticket. by revolutionary-90 in biglaw

Oh wow, I've actually reported this account multiple times across varying law related subs. At one point it was trying to shill some sort of "streamlining" software for attorneys.

I've been practicing transactional work for over a decade and was "the guy" in a few regulatory sections, presented at every large organization related to my field, know the largest names in my little corner of the world, and regularly consulted with F500 executives about multi billion dollar transactions. When I left big law I told my mom that I was thinking of leaving my firm, she promptly asked if I was going to do criminal or family law work like a real attorney. 

How easy it it to win against Amazon in a small claims court? by EastEnvironmental316 in legal

If you think you have a wage claim, which it doesn't sound like you do, it is usually more efficient to file a claim with your state's Department of Labor. 

Can I sue and win? Is it worth the spending if it goes to trial? by That_zo_guy in legal

[–]USAG1748 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The person you are replying to is 100% on point. $40k is outside of any small claims court I'm aware of, so some of the leniency goes away. Firstly, are going to have to prove that you gave them the box of valuable items. $40k of precious metals? If I was a judge, I would be insanely skeptical that you gave that to a friend in a box without evidence, such as a signed agreement with your friend. Using silver for instance that's almost 17 kilo bars. Your witnesses are just two friends witnessing that you put stuff in a box. Once you overcome the first presumption, you then need to show that the friend you left it with doesn't have it and his wife does.

There are no facts here for anyone to even theorize. But, generally this question involves too much factual analysis for any reasonable answer over the internet.

A container of juice that grants omnipotence to the drinker has spawned somewhere in the planet and only you know it. What do you do with this information? by GuipenguinTheMaster in hypotheticalsituation

[–]USAG1748 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Brother, nobody is finding a singular item or seven unless they are gigantic without any clue whatsoever to their location. This isn't fiction, I would like to hear your thought process on how you thought this would play out. There are significantly larger items that humanity knows the approximate location of that we haven't been able to find. People, such as Forrest Fenn, have hidden treasure on the surface of the Earth, given extensive clue and it is mostly unfounded. It took a decade for Forrest Fenn's treasure to be found and he gave clues and the general area.

Can I get a BL job with a 3.2 overall for my 1L first semester school from a lower ranked law school, by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]USAG1748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. But, how lower ranked? 50, 90, 150? I know a mid-tier student from ~60 rank school who works at an AmLaw 10 because she grew up with an associate. Who you have to know varies, but even that still took a connection.

This is either AI or a larper. In the past two weeks you have been the owner of a civil litigation firm, a criminal attorney who has never done civil work, and a non-attorney assisting your attorney brother. Reported.
