Actually instead of woe is me, what's the best substance to relax with when I've had high blood pressure for years (brought on during my period where I was in great shape and working out a ton on gymnastics and using a substance I thought was safe until it got banned by the fda, woops) ?

In the navy that’s known as a happiness transfer. Navy nukes figured out that nuclear engines run on happiness. Happiness is a finite resource and the engines need a constant supply drained from the watchteam in order to operate. The operators can only replenish their own happiness by taking away joy from anyone else they can. Thus a cycle of shittiness perpetuates itself so the engines can keep running.

Longtime lurker, very occasional poster.

So I have no legal experience (mainly I lurk the thread to see how drunk and broken I would've become had a young me gone to law school because he's "good at writing" and "likes arguing") but have worked in random legal-adjacent fields like bail bonding (seriously) and collections and process serving. I'm out of work and randomly fired a resume at a state job for a Trial Assistant with the prosecutor's office in Bumfuck, Louisiana because it sounded interesting. They called me today and want me to interview and I figure city/county job in Cajun country sounds boring but also extremely weird and depressing, so right up my alley.

Tips for impressing a prosecutor's office staff? I know the words to "With Catlike Tread" but that's more of a pirate song. And maybe AR can tell me how she likes her jackboots licked?

Also, the Jew question, do I mention my wife's Jewish right away or slip it in towards the end?

My younger clients just bring their boomer parents anyways who then get very offended when I have to explain what the presence of a third party does to attorney-client privilege.

Bigly. Colloquially known as the ""dessert generation", they are the very numerous descendants of the war generation. Enjoying unprecedented wealth after oil and 80s inflation obliterating most debt as well as getting mostly free educations, they voted in right wing government after right wing government to reduce taxes, eliminate inheritance tax (for them, effectively), bloated housing prices to obscene levels, reducing their pension age while increasing ours and strangled young housebuyers by instituting capital requrements for housing loans locking a good portion of millennials out of the market. Now, they've even successfully sold our infinite water power to europe to extract more wealth from our loving natural resources.

Nowadays they are whining about immigrants and not having grandkids. Fuckers. While my generation is nowhere remotely as screwed here as in the US, the massive gulf in opportunities, starting wealth and political power is staggeringly huge. I just hope the inheritance tax doesn't come back until I've inherited, because the boomers croaking will for 90% of the country be the single largest relative transfer of wealth in our history.

Well no, the Swedes did not fight at all. I am thinking specifically of the Quisling regime, the lightning 2-month conquest of Norway, and the rapid integration of the country into the Nazi regime as an occupied state and economic vassal.

Norway also had a smaller population than the number of people Germany had under arms in 1939/1940 and relative to population had the greatest ratio of occupiers/occupied in Europe. Right up until April 1945 Hitler kept more than 200,000 troops in Norway.

They also, unlike the Danes, fought for more than 6 hours.

Norwegians are hardcore.
