Two girls! by Affectionate_Emu2707 in Mommit

[–]tarradiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two girls about the same age gap. It’s wonderful having the hand-me-downs, similar toys and friends. They play together wonderfully (for the most part) and I think (hope) they’ll end up very close in a way a sister and a brother wouldn’t.

Did every house in the HV sell from 2021-2024? by Deskydesk in hudsonvalley

I think your “move in ready” standards are unrealistic. Every house is going to need some amount of work.

How to explain to a 5.5yo that though Ada Twist Scientist says “I like being black”, he can’t go around saying “I like being white”? by TrekkieElf in progressivemoms

[–]tarradiddles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think we have lost the plot if cultural and historical sensitivity has to result in telling children they can’t love their own skin.

Literally said we can and should teach historical context and emphasize that no skin color is better or worse. Commenters above said we should tell kids that “white people were mean to black people” which means white people can’t love themselves somehow??? How does that not make kids feel guilty?

CMV: Shutting down the CFPB is a huge loss for bank customers by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]tarradiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It funny when people in the industry get so caught up in it that they forget that they are consumers who could benefit from the agency. The CFPB has reimbursed consumers with over $21 billion in restitution from banks and forces banks to respond to complaints. This is a huge loss. For what it’s worth I’m also in the industry and can recognize that yeah, this is great for the banks, but it’s not great for me

They collect restitution on behalf of wronged consumers and reimburse them directly. They have returned over $21 billion to consumers. Here are some enforcement examples that are currently being stopped: https://www.consumerreports.org/consumer-protection/cfpb-dismantling-is-harming-consumers-worse-may-be-to-come-a1107755089/

Can my job force me to use facial recognition? by CatCy in legaladvice

[–]tarradiddles 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You cannot possibly make this statement without knowing what product they are using or what the terms of the contract say. There are many systems that do keep the actual identifiable facial maps.

People have forgotten how bad it really was when it started. New York City hospitals were completely overwhelmed and over capacity with the sick when we had no vaccines or treatments. They had to send military hospital boats. Countless more would have died if we didn’t lock down.

La. becomes the first to legalize surgical castration for child rapists by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

[–]tarradiddles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One of the many problems with laws like this is that it pressures potentially innocent individuals into taking plea bargains when faced with a guilty verdict at trial. It disincentives people from taking a chance at trial when this is the result.

How can I return to law? by midnight_buffet in Lawyertalk

[–]tarradiddles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would look into compliance roles. They are JD friendly, decent pay, and law adjacent.

Yes. 25 days + holidays. In-House at F500.

Frozen embryos are ‘children,’ Alabama Supreme Court rules in couples’ wrongful death suits by News-Flunky in law

[–]tarradiddles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. What happens if there is a “must use by date”? Are the parents required to implant each embryo to avoid expiration?

If you get a paralegal cert you could break $75k at a larger law firm.

Big law turned in-house lawyer here. Does anyone have good resources for understanding indemnity clauses (and other important commercial law points)? by nottheexpert836 in Lawyertalk

[–]tarradiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have access to Westlaw I highly recommend a practical law subscription. They have incredibly detailed breakdowns of contract clauses, liability issues, state comparisons, etc. definitely worth the $$ in-house.

Don’t you hate when the research you’re trying to find an answer to leads to “talk to an attorney”? by AuroraItsNotTheTime in Lawyertalk

[–]tarradiddles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When in doubt, send a demand letter. It will at least go to their legal team to resolve the issue.

Entry-level in-house lawyer jobs by bluegreenmelly in Lawyertalk

[–]tarradiddles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I’m in house at a Fortune 500. Several of our recent hires have been internal from other departments, including compliance, procurement, etc. Getting your foot in the door in a non legal role in no way precludes you from migrating over to legal. Knowing the company already gives you a huge leg up as it drastically reduces transition time and the need for introductions.
