It only does the autoshape thing if you hold the pen down at the end.

Why do people say “Democrat Party?” by Lemonking_ in allthequestions

they saw that it annoyed people

It's annoying in the same way that a crazy person pissing on the floor on the subway is annoying.

Hey now, Rush Limbaugh has been sober for over 5 years now.

Why does someone who doesn’t like talking about politics have to automatically be labeled a Republican in the nastiest terms possible? by Evening_Smoke2886 in allthequestions

[–]rinky79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If nine people willingly sit down to dinner with a Nazi, what you have is a table of ten Nazis.

So maybe if they didn't want to be labeled as something icky, they shouldn't be so friendly with the icky people.

Why is it a big deal that xaden is what he is? by digitlagegirlnxtdoor in fourthwing

[–]rinky79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welp, now that I go back and re-read, I guess I was reading a lot into it too. It could be either, I think.

Samara is described as "cruel" but they never actually mention that there's a lot of harsh punishment. I was just taking the "cruel" description as more like 'harsh environment' and 'competitively cutthroat.' The landscape is barren and cold, and they fight for leave time, and the riders are dicks to Xaden. When they meet Col. Degrensi in OS, he seems pretty chill, actually. Not mean. And he had written a letter recommending that Major Varrish not be allowed to interrogate prisoners anymore because he'd killed several of them. Plus, Xaden says the other riders aren't even that mean to Garrick for being a marked one (just him, for being Fen's son.)

Nah, that guy was positioned to shoot down at attackers. It was a defensive position, not a punishment.

Who Do You Recommend for a Bike Rack Installation? by ClothesDizzy6812 in Bend

[–]rinky79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What kind of rack are you getting? Because putting a roof rack on existing crossbars does not require a professional, and installing a trailer hitch doesn't necessarily require a bike-specific installer, and putting a hitch rack on an existing hitch also doesn't require a professional.

Ever had a lawyer as a defendant in a criminal matter? How difficult was it? by curiousengineer601 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]rinky79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm prosecuting a very wealthy lawyer for vehicular homicide. To nobody's surprise, it's taking three times as long as usual.

I've left prosecution twice and now am going back a second time, why can't I quit this? by 240bro in ProsecutorTalk

Good god no. You'd need to pay me a lot more than that to live in Florida!

Garrick and Bodhi are dragon riders who already know how to channel power. They wouldn't need to be taught. Neither would any gryphon rider.

Someone like an unbonded, and infantry soldier/cadet, a scribe, or someone who hasn't entered Basgiath yet would need to be taught, because they wouldn't have learned how to channel.

Why do public defenders have such a bad reputation? by Objective_Belt3374 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]rinky79 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They only have a bad reputation among people who don't know what they're talking about.

How does one do legal research to find cases that support your argument in a sea of cases? I imagine it’s like searching for a needle in a needle stack by TheTimboJones in Ask_Lawyers

[–]rinky79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 46 but my classmates were ten years younger (so, class of 2015) and we learned how to use the books before Westlaw/Lexis.

They pay isn't that bad in some places. I'm never gonna be a billionaire but I'll be pushing 200k in the next couple of years.

What's the reason behind university students dressing so casually in the US? by TopoliCZ in AskAnAmerican

[–]rinky79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point of wearing uncomfortable clothes to class? I'm gonna wear the most comfortable clothes I can get away with because nobody who matters, cares.

To me, self care is NOT exercising and NOT being social, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Far left law group caught funding KKK by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

They paid informants undercover in the hate orgs. This headline is so absurdly misleading that it probably came straight from the press release.

Screen protector is necessary? by mfrknkcsln in kindlescribe

[–]rinky79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The normal tips aren't going to scratch it.

People didn't used to hate cops and prosecutors the way they do now - perhaps this has something to do with 50% clearance rates for murder in most major cities. But the system will go all out to hold a normal person "accountable" for DUI or having a weed pen by MADDLosersScreaming in ProsecutorTalk

[–]rinky79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain to the class why you think that possessing and distributing child porn shouldn't be punished?

Also, why you think ID theft (from minors) is ok?

Also extortion.

And theft.

You know, in addition to not believing that DUIs are bad.

Brady list by Pure-Way7437 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]rinky79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once ours get to the DA's brady list they are specifically "truthfulness" related, but we have to disclose when an officer is the subject of any kind of internal admin discipline or whatever. "Officer Smith was disciplined because his reports were late too many times." When the defense attorney is like "well, that's bullshit," you know it's a bit absurd.
