a: Why do the doctors ban lawyers?
b: Why do the doctors want to be in lawyer chat?

I'm for it, but we need to keep them in their own area so we don't give up how we make millions off doctors. It's because a bunch of them are incompetent

I mean, you're not telling them anything here they aren't already well aware of. Not only that, basically all of them are extremely aware of exactly who the incompetent buffoons are: any doctor but themselves.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

1) It's the egalitarian idea that anyone, no matter how bad their mental health, gets to go to prison.
2) You get it from the doctor employed by the very poorly funded state organization that has to pay for your care - unless you're competent.

Competence is determined by a complex algorithm that considers age (older is always better), pay rate (more is, obviously, better), educational attainment (minimum basic competence requires two post-college degrees), and the cut of one's suit. There are a number of additional minor factors but these are the main ones. Once you get there you'll become "peer" and gain the ability to instantly judge the competence of others.

Buoyancy is the word you’re looking for. Competence is when you can’t poo poo.

If any qualified goons are looking for Paralegal or Legal Assistant work in Seattle, PM me. My wife's firm (a U.S. top 250 sized firm) is hiring a bunch and she can fast track your app. She doesn't even get a referral bonus, she and her coworkers just really need more staff badly.

Finished my work at the firm today. Got a warm goodbye from all the lawyers I’d worked with, and one of the lead people asked about my future availability in case they want to bring me back again. Normally they’d take me out to drinks, but because of the pandemic they’re going to send me a bottle of something in the mail instead.

Kinda surprising because I thought half these people hated me though. The guy who said he’d arrange for them to mail me something at one point asked if I’d slept with someone’s niece to get this gig when he didn’t like my charts. Lawyers are strange.

Is hades really that good? it's all anyone talks about suddenly but it seems like it's been in early access for 2 years


In personal news, I spent my summer studying for the relativity certified admin test, had a bunch of personal issues and had to reschedule, eventually took it while underprepared, and failed. Feeling pretty low.

I didn’t play it in early access because it wasn’t on the switch, and it’s been a ton of fun. If you already played it, I dunno what is new/different, but if you haven’t and you like the action rogue like genre, it’s good.

That sucks. I can barely wrap my head around inertial frames of reference. It's been a dumb year.
Hop into the discord channel. It's more active and personal and better for support and commiseration.

On the other hand, let's not let this thread die, either.

I actually really disliked Diablo but Hades has grabbed me in a way that no game has in a while. Art, game play, music, replayability, all really good. Unwinding before bed by clicking on some monsters to kill them with lightning is pretty satisfying

Yeah, I really don't enjoy the grind for xp, gear and random drops in Diablo, it feels like it takes too long to advance. By the time I get a character to level 60 or whatever, when people say "the game starts," I'm already burnt out on it. But Hades feels like I have a reasonable chance of beating a run even without the meta-currency upgrades, and getting them makes me feel stronger and makes the run easier. So it's been super satisfying.
