  1. I do something similar. And use it quite a bit to formulate the arguments of opposing counsel. It is generally not too bad with statutory authority but caselaw... well, I check each and every cite. (as any attorney should do). Then, you can throw different fact situations at the issues and tweek arguments. I very much agree that an improving Ai program will be able to largely replace law clerks and very young attorneys
  2. I've lived with relatively sentient beings who identified as women for a long time. They are just as bad as women/doctors/lawyers/men in this regard!
  3. Jane, you ignorant slut! (see, Dan Aykroyd). I agree with much of your post. Certainly, we should be able to all agree that the language used by this doctor was inappropriate. The highly offensive part (to me) is that it appeared the doctor was using this horrific disaster as a platform to broadcast her political view at a time when hundreds of families in Texas were at the height of their fear. THAT is not acceptable. If this doctor knew about the flood (and she said she dead), and watched any news reports from the morning of July 4, that should have been a strong sign to keep your MAGA statements to yourself until we know so much more. Because she did not, the potential damaging impact on families was far greater. Now, if she came out today, with an intelligent post (much like your post Brisket, only just toned down a bit to make it look like all people could get behind), it would have had a much stronger impact. It was also questioned, why this doctor? Because I have been fighting back against medical and mental health incompetence for a number of years now. A doctor in Colorado came out with a theory on "Terminal Anorexia." it took me almost 2 years before I got that doctor to not just back away, but refute her initial opinion. Therapists and idiot doctors coming up with treatment protocols not backed by research or medical science. The eating disorder field being taken over by militant fat activists. It has been maddening. We should expect and demand more from the brightest and best in our society. Ok... rant over.
  4. No... she is not involved with eating disorders. Quite frankly, I hope she takes some time away, finds a good therapist (that in itself is a chore), and comes back a better, more impassioned, open minded doctor. Society needs better doctors, therapists. Right now, it is an incredible obstacle for her. But, it can be an opportunity as well.
  5. Look at the totality of the circumstances. Her Abbott and Crenshaw comments. Her comments about MAGA. Her complete disregard for parents' fears. Her empty apology followed by no action on her part at all. Yes, it is a matter of free speech. But speech has consequences as well. One of the little girls who died was the granddaughter of a good friend of mine at UT. He and I played IM sports together, drank together, a great dude. The remains of his granddaughter was not found for 7 days. Can you imagine the anguish that family went through? I know I certainly can. I had a daughter who died when she was 23 years old. Having a daughter or granddaughter ripped from life leaves a huge hole. So, while this tragedy was in its first hours and we did not truly know the extent of the devastation, to have a pediatrician post something like that, and then issue a very empty apology struck a nerve. I have been pushing back hard against the incompetent mental health/medical providers for years. This doctor though... And yes, there absolutely must be an investigation into this. But, it is going to be turned into a political clownshow by both parties. Oh.. and as to the dude who made a reply to the "red, blue, or purple" remark, I an a staunch independent. Did not vote for Trump or Harris, or Biden or Hillary. I tend to vote Republican for criminal court judges and Democrat for civil court judges. By the way, I love the cantankerous, surly assholes on here! It's the Old West of the Internet with One Flew Over the Cuckold's Nest mixed in!
  6. Have been tracking social media regarding Dr. Propst. I don't care if you're red, or blue, or purple or too smart to immerse yourself in politics, but, when I saw this doctor go off, consequences must ensue. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2025/07/14/when-words-wound-the-soul/
  7. Wait, wait, wait . Weeping vaginas? Is that a thing now? Do vaginas only weep when they are really sad? At what point does arousal turn weeping into a downpour? And is a downpour vagina (It's not piss) a great thing?
  8. For anyone looking to make a donation or give to causes involving mental health issues and Kerrville, here is a link. I have not vetted these resources so you may want to do some research yourself. There are so many people devastated in every possible way. https://www.tiemh.org/mental-health-resources-and-support-for-those-affected-by-recent-texas-floods/#:~:text=The K'Star Counseling Center,in-person support and counseling.

  10. The amount of grief and heartache which are coming out of the floods cannot be understated. If you see someone in pain, reach out. If nothing more than to give them a hug. And tell your kids you love them.
  11. So, any thoughts on what Cadillac is doing and whether this approach looks promising?
  12. Bring back these bad boys from 1965! (and screw Florida State for copying it)
  13. Nice orange pantyhose.... or are they thigh highs?
  14. and so we start once again, fashion week in college football, where the lesser programs, acting as if it were drag day at the Copa Cabana, trot out their new, colorful uniforms for all to see and admire... "ooooohhhh ... look how pretty they are!" iconic looks stand the test of time.
