I'm sure that's the excuse that Nazi used. Doesn't explain the "b."

Its literally the school colors on the license plate. Maybe their F150 is "CyclonA."

The other day a bunch of people were saying some numbers like 1338 or something meant Nazi's too - i swear to god the internet is more obsessed with nazis everywhere than nazis are.

“CYCLONE” was taken and dumbass figured “CYCLONB” looks close enough if you squint.

Also are we going to talk abut Alan Dershowitz and how it was a good thing for society that he represented Jeffrey Epstein? Or did we already talk about that in here?

Except things like 1488, 14, 88, 12/13 are well known codes for white Supremacist / neo nazi organizations and prison gangs that have been around for a while

OK, what's the deal with 12/13? I come from a town where we used to have a lot of neonazi skinheads and I have never come across it. I found 13% on the alt-right glossary wikipedia page. Everywhere I have seen graffiti with the number 13 in the wild has been in connection with Eme though. I have never seen 13% anywhere except that wikipedia page, and I was unable to find anything about 12/13.

Fun fact, the guy who plays "Moss" (Richard Ayoade) has a law degree and used to practice, but was likely drawn away from law to our general benefit by his college theatre experience. He's also half norwegian. So overall a pretty great guy.

Being a lawyer broke slyfrog’s brain. MSM is terminally underemployed after being discarded from firms. TenementFunster lost his job to similar capriciousness years back. I’ve spent two years trying to find a decent job and am back in grad school as a result.

We do have some successful lawyers here. We have biglaw and medium law partners. We also have a bunch of people who work poo poo jobs and are buried under hundreds of thousands in debt.

quote:

I think I mentioned before that sometime ago my brother and I were driving one evening to Chattanooga, Tennessee, from Atlanta. He was driving the car. And for some reason the drivers were very discourteous that night. They didn’t dim their lights; hardly any driver that passed by dimmed his lights. And I remember very vividly, my brother A. D. looked over and in a tone of anger said: “I know what I’m going to do. The next car that comes along here and refuses to dim the lights, I’m going to fail to dim mine and pour them on in all of their power.” And I looked at him right quick and said: “Oh no, don’t do that. There’d be too much light on this highway, and it will end up in mutual destruction for all. Somebody got to have some sense on this highway.”

Somebody must have sense enough to dim the lights, and that is the trouble, isn’t it? That as all of the civilizations of the world move up the highway of history, so many civilizations, having looked at other civilizations that refused to dim the lights, and they decided to refuse to dim theirs. And Toynbee tells that out of the twenty-two civilizations that have risen up, all but about seven have found themselves in the junkheap of destruction. It is because civilizations fail to have sense enough to dim the lights.8 And if somebody doesn’t have sense enough to turn on the dim and beautiful and powerful lights of love in this world, the whole of our civilization will be plunged into the abyss of destruction. And we will all end up destroyed because nobody had any sense on the highway of history. Somewhere somebody must have some sense. Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. Somebody must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. And you do that by love.

Well yea, its all about context. Without any context, no one is going to look at 13 and think of the Mexican Mafia, especially not outside of the Southwest / Texas area where they are more prevalent. But if you espousing a bunch of white supremacist poo poo and you have 13 tatted on the back of neck next to a clover, people are going to think your in the AC or whatever.

I don't know what the context of Blarzgh's "young people today / drat liberals" comment was, it just that those numbers are well known and associated with white power / neo nazi groups

The people I know who were a lawyer somewhere else and are now in US law school seem to be doing well so far vs. the first-time law students in our class. One of them was hired sight-unseen at roughly twice the going rate for an in-house summer job. I have no idea whether that carries over to post-graduation employment or whether country of origin makes much of a difference.

Not much of a downside, really. I've been lawyering for over a decade, and now I'll get to do that in a jurisdiction that doesn't consistently feature in "worst countries to live in if you're LGBT+" lists and will likely do so for the rest of my lifetime.

It's still uncertain whether it will be Canada or the US, but I expect to nail that choice down by the end of this year.
