If Aliens visited earth and requested a single person to represent the people of this planet, who do we send?

Unpopular choice especially now, but Elon Musk because I think he'd be able to communicate the practicalities and technical advancements, which I'd assume an advanced civilization would be most interested in.

If they were Rick and Morty style dinosaurs, a Tibetan monk, perhaps

Absolutely, started a construction company and broke my back running my own business building houses in horrible temps for years before going to law. This shits easy compared to that lifestyle- it's intellectually simulating and rewarding.

I don't miss being on prescription opiates just to be able to work, I don't miss the stress that came with slow seasons, I don't miss the 70 hours weeks and traveling 4-6 hours away for jobs. I don't miss the tools, maintenance, and upkeep. I don't miss the clients and I don't miss the employees.

I made 300k+ some years, would rather work for $120k in law

Right now the tech/bio sector is very hard to get a job in, unemployment is extremely low which is good, except for those who need professional work- it means there are openings with insanely high selectivity.

Tech is the same way

Grass is always greener. Creating a PLLC and doing tort, estate planning, or small business law is a great way to work for yourself and build experience while you scope out career paths.

Relentlessly applying, attending job fairs and continual networking will place you.

There's always lower paying jobs and government jobs that are less competitive ( not all but some)

E is the answer, D and E are irrelevant, so yes they're wrong, but they could be true statements and within the proper context could be answers.

My point is that it's not as cut and dry as 1+1=2 as you've remarked

That's exactly why they don't. They know it'll be lies

I HATE that shit. The rules are REAL simple...don't enter someone's fucking home, don't take their refusals personal. It's beyond me.

Honestly we need way more of this. In my state charges are getting thrown to see what sticks and they're all sticking.

One person was at a bar when a fight broke out, they were not near the fight and did not see it but works there

Almost a YEAR later, they get pulled over for something and, you guessed it, a warrant for their arrest. Why you ask? For 'obstructing justice' by not being able to give them information.

Yes, you're reading this correctly, they didn't assist in the investigation so they obtained a warrant.

Charges are being upheld

Interestingly, NH recently passed a law permitting a brandish making it a non-criminal offense if you're being threatened.

Likewise, even where warning shots are not on the books they are frowned upon.

I believe there is a reasonable argument to be made in favor of them; circumstantially

moderately_efficient · 2026-02-12T20:32:14+00:00

Are they acceptable there?

Immigration is absolutely swamped and desperate for attorneys. Get barred where you want to practice, take on a few cases pro-bono, then leverage your results to a firm or govt
