Am I the only one who thinks the “friend” is Derek?

He’s tremendous, really tremendous. Other debaters come to him, tears in their eyes, the biggest tears you’ve ever seen, and ask him, Mr Trump, how do you do it? And he says to them, are you sick of winning yet? You will be.
Things about transactional legal practice I believe really strongly:
1. A lawyer's job is NOT to eliminate all risk. It's to help clients arrive at a particular, informed risk-adjusted outcome.

I don’t know how much of his comedy is intentional or even replicable outside this context.
Like, it’s the absurdity of him being a former (and probably future) president behaving the way he does that bumps him from funny to hilarious
@RobertMSterling
The real rainmakers at Wachtell, Kirkland, Skadden, etc, are the equivalent of NBA all stars. They’re genuinely brilliant and as hard working as star athletes. They’re actually under paid, seen in that light, which is why it’s a terrible gig.

I drive a BMW, and we do something like this. When we're in front of another bimmer we don't signal our turns. It gets a little confusing because we don't signal our turns any other time, either, but it's the thought that counts.
@sablaah
Do alley cats have poor morals? I mean are they famous for cheating on the other alley cats? Failing to pay their taxes? Like where did this even come from?

1.8k bookmarks??!! Are people hoping to refer to this in the future in case their friend is in the process of killing themselves and they’ve forgotten that one hilarious thing they read about once in this situation??
@buccocapital
I feel like this is true of doctors but not necessarily lawyers so much. The income distribution curve for lawyers is very uneven / unequal - lots of lawyers wind up with huge law school debt and a much lower income than you'd expect.

Meanwhile everyone in SF wakes up every day and tries to convince themselves that their city is NYC lite.
Y’all, you’re not the diet version of NYC. You’re the extra calorie version of Seattle.
My sales person just sold a $21k power washing job for September.
She formed a relationship with a regional manager of an apartment management group through cold outreach.
The manager has no idea who I am. I’ve never visited the apartment complex. I won’t be on site for the

I’m 100% sure waterlogged women, strange or otherwise, arbitrarily choosing leaders would result in better outcomes than either party’s nomination process
@TRUmav
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Re: the settlement, there’s no way of telling who won from the fact that they’re still using the trademark. Part of the settlement could be licensing the mark, and they could have paid extra for that.

You’re not necessarily inconveniencing anyone parking in those spots, but the attitude of superiority inherent in such casual indifference to the rules suggests that yes, YTA. You’re not parking in a handicap spot or anything, more like going 15 over in the right hand lane.
@SteveWiesnerSMB
Generally speaking, that’s probably right. W2 jobs at that level can be very stressful and volatile in their own right, though - the CEO can wake up and decide they don’t like you anymore.
@pestctrlguy
Nope. The adjustment typically has a true up post close once the numbers can be verified.
You’ve only committed fraud if you lie about this and the buyer is damaged, which only happens if they’re unsophisticated and poorly represented. Not advisable.
2. The most effective lawyers aren't necessarily the best at the technicalities of their area of practice. The most effective lawyers are at least very good technically, but they are excellent at communicating clearly with their clients.
Just spoke with a broker who said that attorneys have told him in the past that they view flat fees as unethical because they remove a lawyer’s incentive to be diligent.
To which I said: lawyers have an ethical duty to be diligent regardless of what they’re paid.
Therefore, unless a transaction involves fraud or ethical misconduct, a lawyer should NEVER "try to kill a deal." A lawyer can inform a client about the risks inherent in a deal, but ultimately the client makes the decision about what risk to accept.
My 9 year old says I have zero rizz, and also have a skibidi gyatt.
I know she's being mean, but I can't tell how mean. Do I ground her? Ask her to stop? Tell her she's no rizzler herself?
Top five things I’ve learned in the first four and a half months of running my own power washing business:
🫧 This business is seasonal af. We took it on the chin in July - $8k of sales. Absolutely brutal, but I’m confident we’ll do better next year as our local presence / SEO
@irentdumpsters
Everyone seems to have the same, correct advice. I’d be curious to see what happens if one of them buys out the other but they both pursue the same business going forward, given their philosophical differences.
The market will tell them pretty soon whose way is correct.
