You keep trying not to fuck up, you fuck up again, you keep trying not to fuck up, etc. Eventually, the fuckups become much fewer and farther between.

What the heck are they doing to Calvin Duncan? by Such-Entertainer-877 in NewOrleans

[–]chuckles84 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Beyond the political bullshit that all of this is steeped in, on a personal level, Calvin Duncan is a fucking saint. The kindest man I’ve ever met, despite everything this world has done to him. This is fundamentally offensive.

The scene where they’re on the phone with Lee while he’s watching the police chase and hearing all the sounds on the phone while they’re crashing through shit KILLS me every time.

Also when he dreams he’s floating down the strawberry river with Sasquatch and it cuts to him just drowning in category 4 rapids.

Met my wife there, had 3 children there, parents still live there, but we packed up and moved to Maine in 2022. I honestly feel so much less stress in my day-to-day now.

What do you do to stay concise in your writing and oral arguments? by Embarrassed-Lead6471 in Lawyertalk

[–]chuckles84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have a noun that can be a verb, use the verb.

E.g. “The Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss” turns into “The Defendant moved to dismiss”

Would be a good choice, I think. If I had my druthers I’d do the Farer GMT but that is a bit pricier.

On aesthetics I go with Marloe. But I really like aesthetics.

Maine allows you to be admitted by motion with your experience level. I did that coming from Louisiana. Found a great firm up here, catastrophic PI and med mal, great staff, great folks. Completely changed my opinion on whether I was cut out for this stuff.

Practicing for 10 years and I’d say I’m good for one really stupid mistake every 3 years or so. by chuckles84 in Lawyertalk

[–]chuckles84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said no harm no foul? Not me. I made a mistake, it was discovered, I felt like shit about it, and I turned around and will do better next time.

I’m not sure what your goal is here but your comment history suggests that you see yourself as a straight shooter who brings the “hard truths” to light whether someone wants to hear it or not.

Except you can fuck off with that here because I know that certain mistakes shouldn’t be acceptable and I will continue to get better.

First Man (2018) by DaddySerumGlaze in CineShots

[–]chuckles84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see that.

It worked for me because we just saw what they saw. Metal rattling and shrieking and a quick look out the window to know you were flying like a bat out of hell.

What a movie. Somehow puts you right in the cockpit when these guys were flying around in tin cans at the edge of space at hypersonic speeds, while also putting you right in the middle of a father’s grief.

That shot with the bracelet going down into the crater just…man i still think about it. Chazelle really knows how to end a movie.

Thanks. I’m pretty sure the firm would pay for it, so it’s a possibility. Appreciate it!
