Law firm founder/owner focusing on IP. Leftist and equitable wage payer. Not funnier in person, just a raging bitch. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐จ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฐ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ
@ClarkeMicah Well now you're alienating Mormons. The very thought that one of their prophets would sit at a table with a bunch of leftists is just absurd. Pictured: Heber J. Grant with some of his closest friends.
@LDSdiscussions Yes - I was touched all over. First with water, then with oil. I went through for the first time in 2000. We only wore "shields," which were basically sheets/fabric ponchos with a hole cut out in the middle for your head. Very almost-ghost-costume.
@CNSM2112 @BadLegalTakes Hence the "appears to be" qualifier. There would, naturally, need to be more fact-finding done. That said, any sophisticated employer would be terrified of a law suit that opened with a picture of something like this on their premises.
@ksorbs What I personally think is funny about this: I can literally search gifs for "kevin sorbo," and after about the first 10 results, it's all Kevin from The Office. Even Twitter thinks that another Kevin, known for being the dunce, is more relevant here than you.
@peterbakernyt@jonathanweisman@mayaaking If by "soul-searching" you mean new and innovative ways to gerrymander, suppress votes, commit election fraud, and wield religion as a weapon - you might be onto something.
And I really do mean that - most law firms, for example, only pay their Associates 30% of the fees collected for the work the Associate performs (my last firm was an outlier that paid 40%). STOP licking boots, and get yourselves unionized.
Y'all really need to stop licking the boots of the moneyed people in society. I've recently been participating in a sort of forum that connects investors with startups (I'm just IP due diligence guy), and these VCs/deep pocket dudes and startup CEOs...
People like @elonmusk are using YOUR investment dollars and tax money (via gov't grants, subsidies, and base research) to proverbially shell Wonka Bars to get themselves, personally, a Golden Ticket. All while paying you 30% of the value of the work you perform.
@FPWellman@WalterAppling I grew up gay in the same religion as the shooter. They literally taught that being gay was second only to cold-blooded murder, as far as sins go. I'm not surprised to see this from the shooter's family, unfortunately.
Just gonna guess that this pause will never end. Nobody wants to be the president who restarts these payments after *more than three years* of that burden not existing. Canceling student loans via permanent pause. Fine. Okay.
