I’m definitely of the mind that “if hell exists, we’re already there”.

I also believe that reincarnation is possible, and if you combine those two things, and “heaven” is being able to leave this place and not come back.

I don’t know what’s actually out there. I know what I believe to be out there and I obligate nobody to agree with me on that. I also think that athiesm is a more likely factual belief versus any religion that uses a text book to dictate their thoughts; but like with many things, I believe the truth is somewhere in-between, in the unknown chasm that science is trying to fill.

My beliefs will always be that science is fact, any “faith” I have beyond that is just an educated guess at best, and when science proves something I used to believe was different than what was proven, then I am wrong and my beliefs must change accordingly.

It’s a wild world, and I’m tired of suffering it, but someone put me here and unless I take “the easy way out”, I’m stuck here for another few decades at least, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

My logic is along the same line.

I didn’t ask to be here, nobody asked if I wanted to be here. Being here, I kinda wish I was given that choice so I could say no.

Why would I force someone, who I supposedly love, to suffer through gestures at everything this? I love my potential children more than to condemn them to dealing with the children of those wealthy enough to have them.

Right. Sorry, I’ve been dense the last few days.

Have a good one, kind stranger.

Maybe not, but it seems like this career has died. Haven’t seen him doing anything in the last 5 years, and I don’t think there’s been an album published under his name in more than 15 years.

The man might not be dead, but it sure seems like his career is.

I hope he’s enjoying retirement.

It’s not everything, but it’s at least something.

Hopefully buddy is doing well, whatever his name is, and wherever he is now.

Sir mix-a-lot didn’t die so I can experience such oppression!

I live in Canada and we have some of the same stuff included in our taxes.

Our whole system is pretty fucked up when it comes to taxes, but it is what it is. At least we have things in place.

Sure, I’m “paying” for other people to get healthcare, or to get social assistance, police protection, help from fire departments, ambulances… Good banks and even welfare…

I couldn’t possibly give less of a shit.

I like knowing that, when it’s my turn to rely on my fellow countrymen for support, I will get it. If I’m sick and unable to work, I can get financial support, and go see a doctor without having to take out a loan or anything.

Social services are good. I’m not going to get denied coverage for a medically necessary procedure. It gets booked and performed.

And I know that Canada’s systems are way less comprehensive than most European countries. We have a lot to do before we can get to where we should be. But we’re still better off than our southern neighbors.

A cue is a marker point, usually for media production. It can be used in several contexts.

Queue would be a line, more or less.

I’m being reductive, of course. Just trying to help people who are too lazy to Google or look at a dictionary.

I like big butts and I cannot lie!

I like that cultures that make spicy food, usually have a “mild” for their fellow countrymen, and a special “mild” for white people.

The white person mild.

I think that’s hilarious.

For the record, I’m white and I appreciate having white person mild as an option.

By “taking off a layer” I mean, you take off your sweater and walk around in your t-shirt…

You would overheat in 15C weather in a T-shirt?

I’m in this same boat. Unless you count Reddit, or Lemmy, they ain’t finding shit.

Not that I want to go to that shit hole country.

You monster.

My favorite temp is around 15-18C. Sweater weather.

Cold sucks. But you don’t need a lot of protection to be comfortable in 15C weather, and if you’re too hot because you’ve been working or something, instant relief by just taking off a layer.

Summer is too hot. Winter always sucks.

I’m already taking those.

By prescription, of course.

Aah yes, therapy, the instant cure-all for brain issues. How foolish of me to think that therapy was only talking through your problems and getting professional advice on how to cope better with the crushing reality that we’re all just wage slave servants of the 1%.

What a fool I was.

I have a job and it’s a struggle to find reasons to give any fucks anymore. I used to be paid “enough” and according to inflation calculators, I’m making nearly the exact same amount (in terms of buying power) as I did in 2013; but my expenses are definitely higher.

This isn’t a competition but if I can’t progress in my career at a pace that even rivals inflation, then what the fuck am I even supposed to do?

My responsibilities have increased, but my buying power is ludicrously the same. It’s infuriating.

You’re not alone.

It depends on how they “won”. If it was a full hearing with a jury and everything, that’s public record. If it’s arbitration, that’s probably not public record.

Bragging about a “win” in arbitration, and making something that’s not a public record, into a public record, is usually a problem.

With the current wording, while you can infer from context, the outcome of the case, it isn’t explicitly stated by the lawyer. The largest disclosure here is from the party that feels they were “wronged”, and the lawyer is simply stating that “this person wasn’t my client” (more or less). You fill in the rest.

The fact that the commenter was not their client is not disclosing any private information, nor any information about the matter that’s being discussed. It’s a simple statement of irrefutable fact. (Or fact that can be proven at least)

If the lawyer crosses a line by discussing case specifics, like what the matter regarded (divorce, custody, property, whatever), or the outcome of that case, when it is not a matter of public record, can land them in serious hot water.

I would assume, again, from context, that the matter is not presently a part of public record.

Legally, I don’t think the lawyer can brag about such a win on a public forum.

It’s very very likely she can’t say more than that the comment is from the ‘ex-spouse of a client’ without risking libel or something.

It’s up to the reader to infer the context.

The same way as: “there are only two types of people in the world, those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.”

Thanks. I’ve never owned, fired, or even held a gun.

I have no intention to. I knew most of these, but I’m glad to see it officially written out like this.

If I’m ever in the position where I need to handle a gun, I can do so more safely then I would have before.

Good work. Keep that shit up.
