  • Too hard to determine.

    But as long as lawyers decide which cases to take, I’ll struggle saying that a lawyer in a situation like that is a good person.

    Not because they defend someone that is, in all likelihood, guilty, but because their reasons to do so are generally just money, or a sick enjoyment of “winning” despite their client being obviously guilty.

    I had this lawyer present a class, where he made us watch a movie about a guy trapping people in traps that trigger based on the amount of people that watch it on a live stream.

    He first started saying that it wasn’t the guy’s fault, but the viewers’ that know that connecting to the stream triggers the trap. I told him that if I put bear traps in front of his door, and he steps on them, he wouldn’t say “ah, my bad, I triggered the trap so it’s my fault”. He couldn’t counter that, so he just admitted that he would try to defend him anyway, to see if he could manage to flip things and make him be found innocent, and sort of “win” against the spirit of the law.

    This guy was also saying that he likes to only pick the more dramatic cases, because they’re more interesting. It was clearly only a game for him.

    Just assign cases randomly, no money or picking involved, and things would get better, and we wouldn’t have to wonder whether a lawyer is a piece of shit for defending someone or not.


  • Because I’m not familiar with soldering techniques, mainly because I like to work “cold”, and without machines. The only machine I’m using is a rotary tool, to drill holes and make the polishing less of a chore, and I try to find ways to make everything else with just basic tools.

    It is pretty limiting (and I have the tools to solder, and I plan on learning this skill eventually), but in a way it also forces me to be more creative to find out how to do things without soldering.

    I mostly picked up on whatever small skills I have purely as a hobby, so I mainly did things that I find fun to do, and that I could do even in a non professional environment.

    But yeah, it would have definitely been easier to solder, it is true.


  • Ca fait malheureusement partie de cette logique habituelle pour la France : si tu es dans une minorité, tu vas te faire défoncer.

    Remboursements psy? Seulement pour les troubles légers (je suppose, les burnouts qui empëchent Macron de profiter du ruissellement), si tu te sens vraiment mal, bah crève du coup, tu vaux pas la peine

    Parcours de demande de titres de séjour et similaires ? He bah ducon, j’espère pour toi que tu parles français couramment parce que tout est en français sans droit d’être accompagné

    Jeune mais avec des problèmes de santé ? Tu peux crever, si t’es pas vieux t’es pas souffrant.

    Anxiété sociale ? Haha sous-merde, ferme la et fais semblant d’être normal, ou on te dégage.

    Et ça c’est juste des exemples qui me viennent, que j’ai pu observer. C’est tellement répandu que personne y prete attention. Tout ce que je peux te dire c’est bon courage, parce que je comprends le ressenti mais je ne vois pas vraiment de solution immédiate (le retour de la guillotine peut être ?)
