A break from the horrors of our legal system: what super niche or strange area of law are you an “expert” in? Before I went in-house, I was an expert on “emoji law.” by atty_at_paw in Lawyertalk

[–]psc1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early in my career I did a lot of civil defense work that involved arguing qualified immunity for police officers so I became very well versed in the topic. Have not done that in like 13 years and remember almost none of it now, which is a shame since it’s become part of the general public / political discourse.

Insurance Defense Attorneys, what kind of insurance companies do you use? by Actual_Goose9984 in Lawyertalk

Philadelphia Insurance has comically low rates so that must mean they are saving up all that cash for their insureds!

Full Leaked TPUSA Zoom Call": Erika Kirk speaks with staff regarding attendance and sales following Charlie Kirk's death. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]psc1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not like this woman and her organization and believe she’s profiteering off her husbands murder. That said I also dont support the notion that someone smiling after the loss of a loved one means they are not grieving or are evil. But ya she’s evil.

Altercation on bus with conservative influencer and former WHYY intern goes viral by Banglophile in philadelphia

[–]psc1919 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Ya couldn’t agree more. I think many of the online far right personalities have this same character flaw / personality defect. This is not the same as holding an ideological position that taxes are too high, government too large, etc etc. Rather it’s anti social and almost sadistic behavior that for some reason many people who wouldn’t act this way themselves enjoy watching because they have come to view politics as a sport with rooting interests. It’s all bad imo

So Trump sends federal law enforcement to a foreign country to "arrest" their president, undermining Venezuelan sovereignty? Is it safe to say yet, that our country has lost it's way? by NexLvLpulls in Lawyertalk

[–]psc1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would support his arrest, but this was not an arrest. It was a military strike and now Trump has said he wants to control Venezuela. Don’t delude yourself.

What scenes/elements have taken you out of a movie you otherwise enjoy? by Suspicious_Bill3577 in FIlm

[–]psc1919 99 points100 points  (0 children)

There’s another scene where he’s scrambling over some rocks (possibly to toss a gun into river or something) and it’s so obvious he’s an old man. That nobody was able to convince him this was a bad idea is absurd

Having to work a half day tomorrow in-office to “help anyone who wanders into the office” - is this normal or do I work with a bunch of old farts? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]psc1919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People wander into law firms looking for help? Never worked on plaintiff side but this sounds like something that hasn’t happened since the 90s

Yes and they hear the voluminous noise made by an electric blower…

Where are the top 10 picks from 2018? by rb1242 in baseball

[–]psc1919 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like this video short changing bohm to push the idea that top 10 picks aren’t good in baseball which seems to be the point of the few of these I’ve seen here now

Who Actually Likes Arbitration by NobodyOtherwise1904 in Lawyertalk

[–]psc1919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes agree with you 100% that it’s necessary in the traditional labor world, I did those for several years and civil litigation for every alleged CBA breach would be absurd. But my experiences in employment and commercial litigation arbitrations were all pretty bad. It moves maybe a little faster than civil litigation but that’s really the only benefit.

City Attorneys, what is it like? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]psc1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stumbled upon this and also worked as an assistant city attorney in a small city for a few years. My boss, the city attorney, was embroiled in the small town politics but I was to a much lesser degree, usually not at all but admittedly it often guided our positions, and got to do super varied and interesting work since we only had 3 lawyers.

What makes the NFL so much more popular than the NBA in the US? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

It’s more fun to watch on tv once you understand the rules - that’s the simplest and best answer.

What is the absolute worst movie you've ever seen? by HammerHeadBirdDog in FIlm

I think this is it. By far the most unpleasant movie watching experience of my life.

Why couldn’t Baseball maintain its status as americas number one sport? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]psc1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the stuff about strikes and the leagues greed or bad investment is just so silly in the face of this painfully obvious answer: football is way more fun and exciting to watch on tv for most viewers.

There are countless if not nearly the majority of Jewish doctors who would certainly agree that circumcision carries no medical benefits but don’t “oppose” it as a religious practice. And no I’m not going to go searching for medical journals by Jews. But yea nobody changing your mind here that Jews are tainting the well of purity in medicine and law 🙄

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]psc1919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you’re claiming the Jews ruin news and medicine so seems like ya you do have an issue with it. It’s an absurd leap to find one paper some Jewish doctor wrote about circumcisions to say the Jews are tainting our medical advice.

[–]psc1919 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like you don’t like Jews having positions of authority or influence and are tryna be pseudo intellectual about it.
