What I know of law I learned from US drama but 2 episodes into I am enjoying this dose of actual lawyerly cynicism. Thank you harbl!

haha i thought it would be too u.s.-centric maybe but it doesn't presume much knowledge. the "lawyer brain" series is great.

i honestly have no idea what is acceptable anymore ... I feel like the biggest differences on ilx are between "idealism vs. pragmatism" along with differences about expressing/handling trauma and anger.
― sarahell, Friday, 13 November 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link
one thing i believe I've learned over nearly twenty (20) years on ilx is that taking aggro or obnoxious people on the internet too seriously is almost always the wrong way to handle the situation, even and especially if it causes the dreaded IRL fight or flight reflex

There's a BBQ at John Gacy's houseHis neighbors are all invitedWith Gacy cooking all the foodEveryone will be delightedTo make the BBQAnnual Gacy has decidedFor all his friends and neighborsWith the drinks and food provided
The annual party at Gacy's houseEveryone had much funHe invited his friends and neighborsAnd Gacy cooked for everyoneThe BBQ at John Gacy's houseEveryone was outsideBut nobody knew of the dead boysThat Gacy stashed inside
Gacy cooks the food at a furious paceHis BBQ pits ignitedWhile contemplating great BBQEveryone's very excitedThe food is served, and they take a biteEveryone is delightedBut they'd have a fit if under the pitThey knew dead bodies resided
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's houseCome on everybody let's go check it outThere's a BBQ at John Gacy's houseWith free drinks and food we'll scream and shoutThere's a BBQ at John Gacy's houseWhere all the dead boys are buried aboutThere's a BBQ at John Gacy's houseCome on everybody let's go check it out
Now I have to pee
When you walk in there you best prepare, the smell of deaths all aroundHe was the clown who made boys frown at Gacy's house it was stinkyHe's over the pit as the flames emit the favorite all over townThe hit of the day till you go urinate everyone knows it's stinky
It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boysIt's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boys
It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boysIt's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boysAt Gacy's house it was stinkyEveryone knows it's stinky

there was a sign at one of the anti-trump marches that said something like if hillary won we’d be at brunch right now. left twitter turned it into a meme to make fun of the kind of privileged liberalism it was considered to typify. the meal “brunch” was collateral damage
