I basically let people mix and match the toppings from anything that I have. I'll have a scale ready and they just have to just meet a certain weight in order to qualify for the challenge.

Sometimes daddy gets in a room with people and a lady who writes everything down, and then daddy tells people the police will put them in jail if they lie, then asks them questions about their booties and how many times a week the mommies and daddies touch each others private parts

On Friday mornings daddy sits in court and reads a forum full of weirdos poopoo-posting about their cats and BBQ meat while he waits for the banger to let bad people pretend that they are doing good things by transferring money from people who have it to people who want it

Beyond "daddy has to go return property from private ownership to the bosom of the State," I mean. I generally tell people this: I'm not really good at anything. I don't have any special skills. But I'm really good at reading, writing, and talking to people. And so that's what I do. I read, I write, and I talk to people, because when people do it for themselves, they generally get too emotionally invested and do a bad job of it. Knowing the law is the easy part of what I do. Counseling, financial planning, advising, and negotiating are the hard parts.

One of my wife's good friends told us last night she's finally going to take the lsat after years of putting it off. so her idea is to go from a nice job at the Dept of labor making like 80k at age 35 to ???? ??? and since she wants to go to school part time and keep working that means only applying to Chicago schools ranked below 60 I'm trying not to scream

I told him I'm going to Dallas to build highways so the cars can go faster. That satisfied him. For half his life he thought I was a pilot because I was always getting on airplanes. In Phil style though: Daddy tells people they have to share their houses with everyone else, and then after they share the house a big bulldozer knocks it down and makes it really flat and puts a beautiful road on top of it. Then the person who shared their home cries in a room with a banger and asks him to give him lots of monies. Daddy tells the banger the house was really bad and shouldn't get any extra monies. Daddy always wins.

Every single one of my real life friends with kids have, intentionally or not, convinced me that kids are a mistake. OTOH, it sure would be nice to have someone who feels obligated to help me if I live to like 90 and get dementia. One of my co-workers had to explain his job to his daughter's pre-school class a few weeks ago and was at a loss as how to describe what we do. gently caress, I don't even know how to describe what I do to other lawyers other than basically kind of in-house counsel for the state, kinda. edit: I deal with the goddamn clients so the AGs doesn't have to. I have people skills!

Well, Daddy helps those people to come to this country where they can be safe and make money and live in a house like we do. But only if they pay Daddy's company thousands of dollars."

nm posted:Dude should go into weed law. Whenever I read about weed I always think of it like actual weeds. Garden variety. Dandelions and poo poo. Only time I ever saw it was when I was at the district prosecutor's. Never smoked or even been near or friends with anyone who did. It's pretty much not a thing here. Or I'm very uncool, which is definitely a reasonable suspicion. Reading about weed culture and stuff is so weird.

I think ya'll are more into homemade hooch based on my norweigian friends. (And I don't blame them. Getting drunk in trondhiem was the most expensive thing I've done, and I went to american law school). One of them could really benefit from some weed though.

In the first place, having to work and be grown up bores me, and in the second place, weed. If I could just, like, BE weed, that would be, like being weed and growing weed and growing into weed and flowering into weed and…weeeeeed.

Also, getting drunk in Trondheim is more about who you know than what you can pay. I'm looking out over the city right now, in fact. I'm slowly finishing off the last drops of some very nice rye Whiskey from «Kentucky» if such a place indeed exists. I've always scoffed at american brown liquor, but it turns out I've been very mistaken. E: Out of curiosity, why were you in Trondheim? Was it voluntary?
