@Advo_D @cremieuxrecueil External firms are always more competent than in house counsel

@cremieuxrecueil I looked into this a while ago and apparently it was NOT the external law firm which was handling the Novo's patent work in Canada, this was some kind of corporate decision within Novo. The lawyers repeatedly asked Novo to pay the license fee but they didn't want to.

Imagine being the lawyer who fucked up and forgot to pay the patent maintenance fee for OZEMPIC Now, because you didn't pay a $250 fee, your company is going to lose out on BILLIONS.

@financedystop No one who is actually making it and enjoying life will feel the need to spend their (little) free time on gloating about how much they’re making it online.

Redditor wonders why no one can get a high-paying job in the U.S.

@IRLhandshake @stanfordNYC Should take like 3-5 years max. Taxes 33% Living 33% Investing 33% Variable split depending on low or high income

@stanfordNYC Am I a lunatic for having NW higher than my annual income at a relatively young age

I remember once reviewing a source-of-wealth document, where the guy's situation was something like: Income this year: $1M Income last year: $1M Years in role: 10 Net worth: $1.5M Some people are out there really *living* their lives.

@JimChuong T20 not M7 gg. Same way there’s 198 ABA law schools but only about ~40 of them are worth it (and that’s being generous). Guy should have known when he wasn’t 95%+ percentile on the GMAT he was cooked. Same with LSAT people

To spend $230k on an MBA is a massive waste of money.

@aaronsibarium ABA Standard 303(c): A law school shall provide education to law students on bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism: (1) at the start of the program of legal education, and (2) at least once again before graduation. If only it was just Penn State that required this…

NEW: In a mandatory anti-racism class, Penn State told 1L law students they must "acknowledge the reality of systemic racism" and "dismantle systems that racialize, subordinate, and oppress." One student withdrew from the law school over the class. We obtained shocking audio.🧵

@VonGoghTrades @YourDuden3ss @fudreaper_ Great you found the TN statute… Relevant local rules for Montgomery county TN: sec 309(B): “All other persons legally authorized to carry firearms must check all firearms with the court bailiff or with the nearest office of the Sheriff, while the person is in the courtroom.”

@PwnSplat @YourDuden3ss @fudreaper_ not true, tennessee courthouses doesn’t safekeep weapons. in fact taking one inside a courthouse is a felony in all of tennessee

THREE THINGS that very clearly demonstrate Dalton’s “Chud the Builder” self defense claims and why I think he’ll be found not guilty on the basis of self defense. A lot of people think this was another one of Dalton’s streams where he poses the “do you believe in free speech” gotcha question and then drops the N bomb on an unsuspecting minority. This is not at all the case, and it’s important in the context of his claim of self defense and whether or not Dalton PROVOKED the altercation. The first point is that Joshua Fox initiated contact. The story, as we know it so far, is that as Dalton was leaving the courthouse Joshua Fox recognized Dalton and starting pointing, laughing, and calling out to him. Joshua knew who Dalton was, recognized him in public, and made the initial move to invoke some sort of interaction between the two by taunting Dalton from across the street. Dalton then walked over to Joshua and, while we do not know the context of that conversation for certain, allegedly, Dalton only attempted to make small talk before Joshua told him to get on and to go away. This the second point - Dalton walked away. Dalton left Joshua, crossed the street back to the courthouse. At this point, the interaction was over and finished. However, Joshua Fox followed Dalton across the street and directly approached him. Then according to Dalton’s testimony, Joshua threatened Dalton by saying something to the effect of “I am a combat veteran. You’re not going to be saying all that “chimpin out” shit around me.” This is a clear verbal threat of physical harm. Dalton then says to Joshua, “Oh so you ARE chimping out?”. This is when Joshua punches Dalton in the face, knocks him onto the ground, and continues to strike Dalton. Dalton, 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, fired shots, striking Joshua in the stomach and shoulder and sending another round into his own arm. The last shot further demonstrates the compromised position that Joshua had Dalton in and will undoubtedly be used as justification for Daltons fear of serious bodily harm or death. This was not “Joshua threw one punch and Dalton shot three times”. Dalton was sucker punched in the face and Joshua continued to assault him after being knocked down. This is exactly what George Zimmerman was acquitted for as continuing to be struck while on the ground meets the threshold for any reasonable person to believe that serious bodily harm was probable or that their life was in danger. This is when the video of the altercation begins, after the shots were fired, and Dalton wrestles a wounded Joshua over and down onto the ground. Cops break them up immediately after. This is when Dalton begins his stream on pump.fun. So, just to be explicitly clear: Dalton was not streaming, trying to provoke people to farm engagement. Dalton was simply walking out of the courthouse and was recognized by someone that had it out for him. Dalton WALKED AWAY. Joshua Fox FOLLOWED AFTER HIM. Joshua Fox assaults Dalton and continues to strike him after Dalton had fallen onto the ground. This is clear and decisive self defense. If it’s found to be not, it will just be another all too common blight on our Justice system.

@YourDuden3ss @fudreaper_ You check it in when you enter and get it back when you leave retard

Wait, Dalton/Chud acquired a gun after leaving the courthouse? You cannot carry in a courthouse, right? When did that happen relative to the interaction with the man that was shot? Seems very relevant. Was the acquisition happenstance bc he re-armed himself after leaving court or did he arm himself bc of the first interaction?

@the_P_God @amendandpretend Don’t most of the high quality fast food franchises (McD’s & Chic Fil A) require you to make owning the franchise your full time job?

@amendandpretend I mean not the worst place to be. Stack cash. Start / buy a LMM services business, become a fast food franchisor, acquire whatever small business with an SBA loan, etc

Mid-level PE bros with no upward career trajectory, worthless carry, and limited external career options but high cash compensation

@OliverReno2 @MarkovMagnifico Best bet for a UK lawyer is to work for a US biglaw firm in their London office. £180 is more or less the same salary first year associates in the US make which is $245k. Magic Circle pay can’t compete and I doubt the hours worked are substantially different

@MarkovMagnifico The people that moan about this kind of thing usually work if utterly pointless management roles that require remedial organisational and English skills. Everyone in the UK knows that in order to attain a decent salary, you have to ultra specialise. Tradies and Lawyers make bank.

holy shit there’s no way the UK is actually this poor

@CannedDock @TysBurnerAcc “Hearing damage” from working on a nuclear sub for 2 years = 50%

@TysBurnerAcc Let’s be fair. A lot of fucking douchebag veterans claiming disability for stupid shit. You get fucking 50% just for sleep apnea. Fucking bullshit.

My manager(also a vet) saw my licenses plate on my truck and was like “hmm disabled veteran, that’s like 4k a month right?”

Good idea. Let’s spend $23-$100k+ a year in exchange for ~$2,500 worth of goods and services from this guy’s prison labor

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history. He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough. RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

@wil_da_beast630 The average for Econ at 128 makes this hard to believe

This isn't some edgy point I'm making, btw - it's completely uncontested. Scores below are IQ norms for those educators and others who go on to GRAD SCHOOL. I don't dislike teachers at all, do classes at the local high school myself, will note that HS teachers do do better (109 IQ for Masters and EdD holders), just etc. But, the entire context of my post was an educator insulting white-collar, on-twitter parents by saying they are not smart enough to teach. That's insane.

Teachers post lower SAT/IQ scores than any other white collar profession except social workers.

@usr_bin_roygbiv @MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer ? If you seriously believe housing prices will get better in the future and not worse you’re ngmi Also you’re in TX lmfao what are you complaining about. SALT tax changes would benefit you hella. Can deduct all sales tax for the year + TX property tax which is high as hell

@PwnSplat @MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer whats the working age population look like in 15 years pal

if you have approximately 1/3rd of the property value in cash, you can create an irrevocable trust tied to the property in a total market index fund that pays the property taxes in perpetuity, effectively negating the "renting from the government" angle. but nobody ever does this

@usr_bin_roygbiv @MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer Yes let’s not account for YoY rental price increases across a 30 yr stretch of time and let’s certainly not account for real value of dollars on a 30 yr debt decreasing ~3.29% YoY. Buying = 2x price of rent today will be same at 15 yrs, half at 30

@PwnSplat @MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer wow that's crazy I didn't know that. and that's definitely not baked into the rental prices which are still half the cost to buy and the landlord fixes your shit for you

@usr_bin_roygbiv @MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer Mortgage interest fully deductible up to $750k of mortgage balance. Doubles if you co-own a home with your “wife” but are legally not married. SALT tax cap change to $40k/yr; per person. So fully deductible mortgage interest and almost fully deductible prop tax but sure buy=cuck

@MiladyBonkle @uncledoomer yes you are part of the permanent underclass unless you sign a 30 year mortgage to a bank and pay double the price of the house to the bank so boomers can have number go up on a spreadsheet

@rollerangels @memetexts If he was legit hungry that would have been sufficient, that’s the whole point. The dollar menu is now a $3 menu effectively. Starving and $20 in America doesn’t belong in the same sentence

@PwnSplat @memetexts I'm not saying you actually should have or whatever but can you even get anything substantial there for $3 anymore

@NizNellie3 Pretty sure Georgetown is a private university so tax dollars don’t apply

🚨 I've been screaming about this lunatic for years, yet the FBI and DoE are happy to do nothing: Jonathan AC Brown is a professor at Georgetown University. His father-in-law is a deported terror leader. Jonathan is on social media telling someone to "get over it" when they brought up Islamic rape gangs in the U.K. Islamic rape gangs have sexually abused hundreds of children over the course of decades. This is the same degenerate who was on paid-leave for 214 days after tweeting his desire to see U.S. soldiers bombed by the Iranian regime: "I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base." He's still employed. Georgetown has unleashed him on campus again. Your tax dollars are funding this. @EDSecMcMahon @FBIDirectorKash HT @libsoftiktok

@Mecha_Kong @KirklandAR15 @MadeByWoven Pokemon already sells their own hoodies. OP’s hoodie is not fair use. His hoodie will be considered dilutive to the pokemon hoodie market. Here are the 4 main, but not dispositive, factors for transformative works under fair use. Custom item for yourself = fine. Selling = no.

@KirklandAR15 @MadeByWoven Did you even read what you linked?
