Read the OP and decided law school isn't right for me. Thanks, Phil!

Who's getting $6 million for a criminal trial, and where do I send my resume to get in on that?

No. Gaming cancer is when you use graph paper to preplan your circa 2000 copy of zoo tycoon 2. And use multiple ink colors. And a stat matrix. Bc optimized.

I have a problem.

I made a cool graph paper map of the serpent's grotto in Legend of Kyrandia, because I'm not a complete barbarian.

A human being should be able to write a brief, lift a weight, make a taco, argue a motion, appreciate a whiskey, sing an opera, fly a spaceship, and plan a city without cutting transit funding. Specialization is for insects.

Quarantine Music Post Challenge Day #2

Post the most embarrassing song that you've unironically listened to and enjoyed recently.
(None of this, "I loved N*Sync in high school, and gently caress it of I don't still like to rock to Bye Bye Bye)

I was looking around for Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn" for the first question and found this original version, which is my new favorite.

Quarantine Music Post Challenge Xtreme Day 3:

You walk out your front door, a taxi pulls up, a gruff Bosnian man leans out and says, "lets go." You understand now that you have died and this cab is taking you to the afterlife. Post the song that starts playing after you get in, and the cab starts to drive away.

Day 5 of the Post a Youtube Song Video About Whatever I fuckin tell you to

This challenge requires you to post the Title/Most Prominent/Feature song from a Movie Soundtrack that you actually bought. I'll let you pick the soundtrack if you have multiple options (weirdo), but its got to be the title song, even if thats not your favorite from the album. If you paid 99 cents on iTunes for just the single, it doesn't count. If you have to go back 20 years to the last time you bought a full CD soundtrack, you gotta do it.

If (you're lying) you've never purchased a full soundtrack (bullshit) then you are automatically docked 2 points; however, you can make a saving throw by admitting you're a liar, and posting Title/Most Prominent/Feature song from the sound track of the last movie you went on a date to see.

I thought her husband's plane crashed on the trip south to shack up with young Costa Rican prostitutes.

I have no support for him, though, and cannot campaign for him. I won�t tell people they�re dumb for not voting for him because I get why they don�t want to.

I guess if you (general "you") live in California and want to not-vote for him in protest, go nuts, though it seems likely to me that you'd be lumped in with the rest of the bros who are too lazy to vote instead of being taken very seriously. I know a lot of people who are disappointed Bernie didn't win, but thankfully none of them are starting down the road of "Biden's basically the same as Trump", which is some silly-duck nonsense.

In case anyone wants to take him up on it, Orin Kerr's indicating on Twitter that he thinks Alito's "our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right" disclaimer and associated reasoning is genuine, and in response to comments indicated he'd be willing to put money on it.

I mean, Alito and Thomas would happily overrule Obergefell - Alito wrote a whole opinion about it that Thomas signed onto. But I wouldn't be surprised if one of Gorsuch/Kav/Barrett isn't on board and Alito wrote that paragraph in exchange for a vote while muttering "ugh, fine" under his breath the whole time.

Christopher Hook! Told opposing counsel in writing to eat a bowl of dicks, among other things. Looks like he was ordered to pay ~18k in sanctions.
