I like to think for something as high stakes as the argument you’re going to make in court that a lawyer would have partners or employees or something to bounce ideas off before pulling the proverbial trigger on it.
Edit: oh and discussing such things with the client too
Imagine being the first person that lawyer pitched his idea to and not responding violently.
If she wasn’t so politically active this would’ve barely made the local newspaper. Congrats lady now you’re famous.
My initial reaction was that it was probably unflattering on purpose but after seeing the others I think that might just be the artist’s style and she just has an unfortunate face for it.
If you haven’t done one yet you’ll never be more proud of yourself than replacing your own phone screen.
The post on /all about a gop official advocating for child marriage?
Yeah I saw. Poor timing and a bit of wishful thinking on my part.
See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there’s an article right there that I’d almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.
It’s kinda amazing that our political discourse has gotten to the point where people will double down on anything. I feel like if a Republican presidential candidate got caught molesting a child the next big push from the party would be lowering age of consent.
Even if I was heartless enough to kill my own dog I like to think I have the presence of mind to not brag about it afterwards.
Also, here’s a slightly more in-depth article from a more niche source: https://liftblog.com/2024/04/13/gondola-tower-collapse-kills-one-in-turkey/
I’ll be fascinated to hear more about this as it gets investigated. I’m a former ski lift operator and there’s so many systems on a modern lift to prevent that. That one looks not quite new but certainly not so old as to not have such precautions. Though it just says hit a pole, it’s possible that said pole wasn’t a lift tower, and of course being that this happened in Turkey it’s possible if not likely that the standards are simply lower than in Colorado.
I was going to joke that they were just mad that you can’t use ****** anymore but that appears to actually be one of the complaints. Wonderful.
A gas station in a mining town I visited had little statues carved out of coal.
In my opinion the only real move is to hope is things keep spiraling upwards.
Still, seems like an improvement on the path humanity was on of having periodic global bloodbaths over individual human egos and the nationalism others attach to it. We still have bloodbaths over those issues, don’t get me wrong, just smaller scale overall.
Hell I’d argue mutually assured destruction drives people batshit insane.
They should have a choir come out and sing mockingly every time a child falls in it.
That’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility to be honest.
