Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Law Firms, Called Out for 'Caving to Trump' by Viral Student Spreadsheet, Lobby to Change Designations After Failing to Recruit New Talent: Report

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Damn... I was really hoping that "student spreadsheet lobby" was a real thing.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you. This makes way more sense.

I think it’s saying that students don’t wanna go to law firms that cave to trump.

But I had a stroke reading that headline so I’m not sure.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did have a mild stroke two years ago and had to read the comments to make sure the headline was difficult to parse and it wasn't just me. ;p

[–] logi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not just you. We've all had a mild stroke now from reading this headline. I dare not open the article.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ok, I just had to make sure hahaha

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Correct, and who could blame anyone but the writer of the headline gore.

What does this say about the law firms that caved? Either that they are guilty of something, so bad at their jobs that they can't even defend themselves in a slam dunk case. Or more concerned with short term money gains than justice. It's poison to any new prospect looking to do anything more than sell themselves for a quick cash out.

RIP our brains.

Ah yes, I know all of those words
*nods head

Lawyers are servants of the state. What else do people expect?
