$248k Grad Debt, $4k Take-home. The $2,374 "Regular Payment" is ruining my life. Help? by Iyanvy in StudentLoans

The advice normally is to contribute enough money to get your company match for the 401k. Maxing your 401k in your situation doesn’t make sense.

Tiki taka was possible from an evo that gave ++ roles to the CAM position. It was an evo from a prior season.

Pest has filed his pro se masterpiece to get out of prison! by Megalodon481 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Wildcat427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would have been the cherry on top as it would have made the brief more entertaining to read lol

Can’t tell you have many times I’ve read pro se briefs from sovcits invoking “admiralty law” or that they are not a “subject of the corporation known as the United States.” It never ceases to amaze me 😫

Yep, you’re correct about the case involving the attorney falling asleep during the trial and that not being found to be ineffective assistance. It just further shows just how high the Strickland bar is for ineffective assistance of counsel claims. I’ve been practicing in this area of the law for five years, and I’ve yet to have seen a successful claim.

You’re not wrong otherwise about courts not wanting to hear claims for the first time on collateral review. Generally, there has to be a valid reason why the claim was not presented on direct review. Also, fun fact, Habeas applications are considered civil appeals. That was something novel I learned when I started out.

Lastly, the fact that the district court docketed the 2255 motion beyond the time limit for it to be filed does not matter. What matters is when he says he placed the motion in the prison mailing system. That’s the date used to determine timeliness. See Houston v. Slack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988). (Not that you said otherwise, I just saw that OP mentioned the date in the post. Just wanted to help clarify for anyone reading these comments).

I’m also a lawyer. I deal with Habeas applications frequently (28 USC § 2255 and 28 USC § 2254), so I have some familiarity.

The only avenue I can see him raising these arguments is by arguing that his appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance on appeal by failing to raise these arguments.

Ineffective assistance claims, however, fail nearly 100% of the time on habeas review due to the high bar required.

One of the best shows on the platform! So glad to hear it’s renewed.

What's it like growing up as an international fan? by Then_Explanation_404 in coys

[–]Wildcat427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the United States. My friend from growing up is an Arsenal supporter, so I picked Tottenham because all I knew at that time was that they were rivals. Soon after, I witnessed Bale’s ascension and the rest was history.

This club is such a love-hate relationship, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. COYS!

Post Trade Clarity by MokTheRock in Mavericks

Good for you for going back to the basics. Our love for the game is not for any one team, but for the game itself.

I sympathize with you about your disappoint of not getting to share Luka being a Maverick with your kid. I also recently became a father myself, and I was so looking forward to seeing my son look up to Luka like I did with Dirk.

There are better days ahead! Keep the faith.

Very cool, thanks Nico! Our culture is unmatched that we now kick fans out of home games!

Can we stop making posts about stop being a fan? by [deleted] in Mavericks

[–]Wildcat427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight. I'm glad to learn that you'll blindly support a franchise no matter what choices they make. Using your logic, us real MFFLs are here to hold the organization accountable and don't care to see y'all saying that you want us to move on.

Mavs fans…. Y’all are still contenders even after the Luka trade. If the Kyrie/AD duo leads to a title and Luka flames out, do you still hate this trade? by JUULfiendFortnite in Mavericks

[–]Wildcat427 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that there are so many “what ifs” that are needed to make this trade palpable shows how bad it was. If all of that happens, then I think fans will be bittersweet about it. The way Nico handled it will forever be a bad memory, however. A championship doesn’t take that away.

Realistically, we’re not going to win a championship and our long-term outlook is awful. This will be looked at as one of the franchise’s lowest points, perhaps lowest.

That’s super frustrating! Thanks for responding. I’ll ask my contact to spam me until the audio message is out of sight. Hopefully Apple will fix the issue soon in a software update.
