I'm trying to draft a resistance to a Motion to Suppress that alleges that USING the location data you gathered from a GPS device placed pursuant to a warrant by sharing it with another agency is either a warrant that is written too broadly or constitutes a general warrant. Apparently the drug task force is supposed to just gather data and write a report as the guy sells drugs instead of, you know, arresting him in the act.

Nice piece of fish posted: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. God drat, it's like looking in a mirror. We need to bring the phrase "dessert generation" over here.

Vox Nihili posted: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. Lasted longer than France Pook Good Mook posted: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. Hey yeah, that too. We even sabotaged the german nuclear weapons program. Might not have worked anyway, but we did the job. Yeah that whole thing. Can't believe good old Kirk Douglass stopped the nazis. evilweasel posted:on the other hand you had a guy who was such a collaborationist traitor his name has become a word meaning that, which is a neat bit of trivia Neat bit of trivia? Not sure what you think you're implying, but here's a neat bit of trivia: "quisling" didn't become a thing because the dude was a traitor. I mean, he was, but so was every other dime-a-dozen nazi collaborator of that era. There were thousands of quislings spread all across the world, including in Britain and in the US, but they were a lot less successful. Quisling himself wanted very badly to be the next Hitler, and did his damndest from 1933 upwards to mirror his history. I think it's fair to say he was about as much of a betrayer of his country as Hitler was, as their situations were very comparable - with the notable exception of Quislings staggering incompetence and Norway not having any of his bullshit. No, Quisling wasn't really remarkable because of his actions, he's become a household name as a result of the reaction to it. His name was a meme for "traitor" as a part of political discourse from the early thirties and really took off once he triad and of course failed at a coup (blame The Times, total fake news). However, in response to his crap Norway actually suspended due process and the rule of law (in practice) and convicted him of treason using military statutes at the end of the war in a decision that's still fairly hotly criticized. Just because everyone had such a hate-on for that motherfucker that we couldn't stand to see him live, supreme justices included. Quisling was executed by firing squad, he got shot in the chest 8 times with high calible bullets before the commander walked up and blew Quisling's brains out with his sidearm just to make damned sure. Every man volunteered. I think the closest living guy he reminds me of is... Trump. Maybe his name will carry a different meaning in the future as well. yronic heroism posted:I mean more in a cultural sense than demographic, though these are linked and I guess most places have their share of lovely old people. Eh, I don't know. I don't really hang out with right-wingers much, got my share of that in Uni. But yeah, there are loads of useful idiots that have stockholm syndrome logic'd their way into servility, though I don't really have a clue as to what proportion of society that is anymore. Can't base that on internet discourse anyway.

Obviously, we started out way more left wing than you did and the social framwork is different, as is the quality and quantity of the welfare state. Norwegian millennials are not struggling even nearly as much as the US is, and I honestly feel terrible for you all almost every day. I really wish you could have had what I did. Then again, you'd have had to be norwegian which is like the dictionary opposite of cool. By the way, millennials are the "frosting generation" according to the boomers, superficial, tasteless and flashy (what with our snapchats and tinders) and without value on our own. Spiteful old assholes, aren't they.

blarzgh posted:That'll teach those money-grubbin landlords to kick those blameless, angelic people out of their homes for stupid stuff like "not paying rent."!! Well, in one case we're talking about an indigent senior citizen veteran who was evicted for cause but not properly - they threw his stuff out and he lost everything as a result. In the other case, we're talking about another senior veteran with stage 4 lung cancer that was paying rent, but his landlord just randomly called monday and left him a voicemail saying "you need to be out by wednesday" with nothing else. Not at all a proper eviction, and even though he has a place to live it's still something worth pursuing.

One time I stayed at a nightmare Airbnb with all sorts of issues, but the worst was when the owner told us the bathroom in our unit wasn't working, but we could use the bathroom in a nearby unit occupied by an elderly tenant (actual tenant, not Airbnb bullshit). The units weren't even connected, it was basically an elderly person living in a very small house on the same large piece of property as the lovely Airbnb units. Obviously, we did not use the tenant's bathroom. Anyway, that guy springs to mind whenever I hear something about landlords.

They moved in instantly while the other guy was moving out. He also lost the lease and their phone # and is mad they moved in early so is evicting and I'm asking over and over what the hell he's doing

That interview went poorly. When I set it up (job specified entry level) I specified that I make 70k (technically I make 35/hr on a job that can end any second but they don't need to know that) and didn't want to come out to the interview if compensation wasn't in line with that. Halfway through the awkward interview the guy (solo but has 3 part time new attys under him) said he knew about my compensation interest but hired based on direct experience and in a role he wanted to grow, and that he would of course pay a living salary seeing as I was married (wedding ring) Is this as weird as it sounds because I thought it was ridiculous to still play cagey person about oh it's pay by experience when it's a loving entry level position so you should at least have a god drat baseline

It's because he's going to offer you poo poo. The 1099 place was cagey as gently caress about benefits and throughout discussion post $20/1099 reveal they still never once would commit to a specific dollar amount raise when I was licensed nor explain in any detail what the merit bonuses they were offering me entailed.

One of my favorites: for a while, we were not doing a very good job of letting associates know that they realistically would not be making partner. We also had an issue with staff attorneys and the like hanging around for a long time after it was clear that they were pretty much dead in the water. Essentially, no one wanted to tell them, and just sort of hoped that they would get the (entirely unstated) message and voluntarily leave on their own. Of course, they often didn't. Because they often did not have real options, and certainly nothing that paid a healthy six figures. So the managing partner once told me: "We need to be better about 'counseling people out of the firm.'" You mean firing people dude. Shitcanning them. Leaving them and their children without an income. Termination. Just loving say it.
