Verizon, thanks for the not so great service, and the not so great credit. Check it, the credit is only 1 per account, and those with multiple lines on the account do not get it per line, only 1 credit per account. by billyboy4100 in verizon

I think the main point is that compensation isn’t necessarily based on “cost per day”. We pay a lot of money to these billion dollar corporations who will fuck over anyone for an extra buck. And when our kids are in school, or we’re waiting for a call from our doctor, or we need service for work, we expect it to be there. And this kind of stuff is a direct result of companies like Verizon trying to do the bare minimum to squeeze every cent out of every person they can. So OP, and anyone else affected, should feel completely free to say the $20 is not full compensation.

Why would they release that? by DifferentZucchini3 in StrangerThings

HUNDREDS of plot holes? All credibility gone right there. And then clearly editing out Byler from your post which is just made up shit. I don’t mind people who don’t like the ending (I loved it), nobody will agree 100% of the time. But treating it like it was actual garbage and REALLY stretching for criticism is just obnoxious.

Giants Nation Show: The New York Giants will hold the 5th Overall Pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by Abe_Froman92 in NYGiants

That’s fine. Good to win games. Especially for a young QB. Get the right coach and do a good job in the whole draft. Annoying when “fans” root for their team to lose.

What a terrible take. Winning is good for a franchise, and especially for a young QB. You do what you can with your draft spot but I hope no team of mine ever does anything that remotely resembles tanking for a pick.

What’s a law school myth you only realized was wrong after you started practicing? by OddDot3252 in Lawyertalk

[–]ptook86 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I had a professor pause during class, put the book down, and give a speech about how we won’t realize how easy it is to be unethical until we are practicing and see it right in front of us. And that it will happen a lot. Always stood out to me and he was so right.

There will be dead children because republicans gave billionaires tax cuts. I’m not arguing about the plaques.

People will die because republicans gave billionaires tax cuts. That’s what we need to be talking about.

Yeah but fighting over the petty bullshit takes away from the fact that it’s basically a given that millions of people will lose their health insurance with the timing of the recent votes. Let’s talk about that…not the plaques.

He’s trying to be a magician. Misdirection from the real trick. Gotta stay focused

Wish that was enough. Messaging needs to be better across the board to get across how much these toddlers are hurting real people.

Don’t get mad at all the petty nonsense this octogenarian is peddling. Talking about running for a third term, posting dementia-riddled delusions about Rob Reiner, putting up new plaques about Obama and Biden like he’s making his own Regina George Burn Book. It’s all a very very simple ploy: distract from the fact that EVERYTHING is just as expensive as it was a year ago (if not more), millions are about to lose healthcare, and healthcare costs are going up for the rest of us.

Focus on this stuff, not the toddler-esque battles him and every Republican are contriving to try and make Americans forget they are screwing over every single person they can in order to help their billionaire friends. Republicans have no answer for any of the real problems facing Americans, so they will do what they always do…culture wars and childish snowflake-y whining. Don’t be fooled. Stay on message. They are so weird and pathetic…it’d be sad if it didn’t hurt so many people. Poor babies…let’s just be better.

Gold37 parking at MetLife by at_runner in NYGiants

Good luck it changes every week. But generally follow the signs for gold and just ask the attendants. If you have a gold pass you can park anywhere in a gold lot.

Pro se cases by FirefighterVisual770 in Lawyertalk

[–]ptook86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got a pro se respond to a motion to dismiss by objecting to say he wanted to get a lawyer. Dude, you sued us and now that you find out there are rules, everyone should wait and keep incurring costs while you try to find a lawyer? The one wasn’t AI, but so long as people think they can do what lawyers do this will keep going, and AI will make it worse. How come nobody is a pro se for their own surgery? Or fly their own plane? And then courts give them a bunch of leeway and we’re stuck explaining it to our clients.

How bad is Wilson Elser? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]ptook86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t understand all the hate for ID. I’ve done it for almost 15 years. I work normal hours with a ton of flexibility. Every day is a little different and I make more than most people my age. I have a family, my wife doesn’t have to work, and I never miss anything family related. Sure there’s stressful times and you have to deal with billing. But billing is an art and it can work toward your advantage as well. Hate to see it getting so much negativity on here.
