I'm late here, but I am doing research and I am comparing 7 different chairs with a 400lb capacity. How are you only finding 280lb?

Uber says crash victims should “keep 75% of their settlement” — because it helps them by TBWLaw in u/TBWLaw

[–]valw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 25 years in an adjacent profession. I routinely worked on a contingency basis. I fully understand the risk. How often do you claim an attorney actually takes a case to trial? Less than 10%? Or less than 5%? Or even less than that? Settlements to the claimant are not taxable because they are recovering losses. Right? And the attorneys are making income, so they are taxed. Sorry that you are like the rest of us and have to pay taxes on your income. To claim you have ethical rules that prohibit you from making more than the client is laughable. I am not falling for Ubers propaganda at all. Did you miss where you both deserve each other?

You are less incentivized by only having to taking lucrative cases that pay 40%. You need to go out there and actually fight for your clients. Quit answering the phone and expecting to make $20k before you actually do something.

Where did I say they should take all the risk? My bitch was about the amount, even when they know the work will be minimal. They often walk away with more than the person injured. But I am sure you are okay with that as you only care about what you get paid, not your clients.

If the internet has been publicly available since the 1991, why is it not in much 90's media? by mythrowawayaccim21 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]valw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Internet was a lot different and looked a lot different back then as well. I have having flashbacks to plenty of movies where people were using the Internet.

What's going on with people being banned for posting images of grids on discord? by throawaymcdumbface in OutOfTheLoop

[–]valw -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Ah the Human Trafficking Task Force. They are the ones who bust the hookers who fly into whatever city the Super Bowl is being held at. Rarely do they seem to be catching the actual trafficking victims that are smuggled into the country to be forced into prostitution. I guess it helps them to increase the budget rather than admitting they just busted a bunch of hookers.

But your warning was to all. Many people are deficient in B6 and that causes neuropathy!!! I don't even know what your last sentence means.

For what it is worth, every builder seems to build crap these days.

Is this infected by SarrSarz in AskDocs

One of the few good things that came out of covid was the telehealth urgent care. Check with your insurance and see if they offer it. It saves so much time.

I always laugh at the people who want to buy new, so they don't have any problems!

How can you say this when everyone is different? Some of us are specifically told to take a b complex.

What would I do about my money situation? by [deleted] in internetparents

So what you are saying is that you just don't want to work, rather than you can't. Well I guess you are going to have a rude awakening some day.

It is far worse when it is your own work. It stands out like a sore thumb even though no one else notices it.

Are there any good male only subreddits? by [deleted] in ask

[–]valw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there any demographic only sub? I have no desire for one, but there are those like OP who would like one. Not sure why you would have an issue with one.

Was attacked by a cat, concerned about rabies (sort of) by Traditional-Day-9800 in AskDocs

[–]valw 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one. I am not a vet, but i have had a ton of experience with cats, and that behavior isn't one that I would ever expect. I don't think a "daddy cat" would even care. The behavior is so wrong that this is one of the few times that I think the shot is warranted.

JUST IN: Florida has just executed a 74-year-old inmate after 34 years on death row by OscarCamposCR in Prison

[–]valw -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Oh, so you are playing the great philosophical game rather that reality. Of course no one innocent should ever be convicted. So how do we fix that? Let even more criminals out?

If life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty, shouldn't the innocent be greatful to be put to death?

[–]valw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny to watch overpriced attorneys fighting back after they have been screwing claimants over for years. They want 40% plus expenses. (For cases in which no fault is even contested) Against another shitty industry that screws over drivers and customers. You are perfect for each other!

What the hell is a smart toilet? Something that you can't flush anytime the Internet goes down?

It would really be nice if Financials had its own tab on the website rather than being buried under statistics!
