Yeah. Maybe I wasn’t clear. My point was that it’s amusing to me when politicians back programs they aren’t likely to suffer a consequence for, and then they suffer consequences for them. I don’t think it’s entirely ironic because the outcome could have been anticipated and the policies were wrong.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)BD you know I want interesting debate and conversation on here but all I got in response to your post is three words:
Ha Ha Ha.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Frankly I’m surprised that nobody is mentioning perjury charges or at least accusations at this point. Didn’t Jack go in front of congress and say there was no such thing as shadow banning? This thread shows that not only did shadow banning exist, but that it had many flavors and was a major feature of Twitter’s system.
The other side’s defense is that there is nothing new here but I think that Musk is doing a service for public trust.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Ask Amber Heard how that whole “counter defense” thing worked out for her.
Methinks this idea dies after the plaintiff contemplates disclosure. I suspect Hunter has more turds in the bed than Amber did.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Tragic stuff, as expected.
How tragic is it that a stolen kiss is now the basis for a sexual assault charge? It used to just be a reason to get kicked in the balls…or lucky.
The commentary on women and perfection does not align with either my view of elite female athletes at stanford (I married one) nor professional women in the workplace.
It’s too bad that she was misled so badly about men, women, and the realities of life. While, yes, a disciplinary proceeding could be a reason not to get into Stanford Law, it’s not the end of the world. She could have been criminally charged and wasn’t.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Btw, given how the other boards are going full censorship, if you guys have people email ceb.lord@gmail.com I can add people to the board. I get so many spam username request that I basically reject them all.
the Stanford discussion place on this board could be a lot livelier

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Agree, but it has to be stated that he is leaving the program in absolute tatters.
I appreciate what he accomplished through 2019. The program went really soft after that.
This will be a very unique rebuilding challenge, since it has to be done without the portal.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)“Triggering” someone to go kill themself seems like a pretty high bar to me for wrongful death.
I’m not a lawyer but find it hard to believe that your argument (which reduces to “the school may have made her attack the other student”) is even relevant to whether the school made her kill herself. If “wrongful death” can mean “set off a series of events that led to despair and ultimately suicide” then I suspect a lot of companies are going to need to lawyer up, not to mention municipalities and employers of high suicide rate professions, and spouses for that matter.
In a world where individual adults are responsible for their actions, we have to separate the assault on another student from the “reason” for the assault. No one has claimed it was self defense, and self defense is one of if not the only argument for use of force (including throwing hot coffee on someone).
I will say it again: the circumstances are tragic but hardly novel. Young men are accused of “sexual assault” at a fast pace these days, and that accusation gives exactly noone the right to assault them in kind…No matter how “triggered” they are. And, you know what? No matter how inept the university is in disciplining others, you still don’t get to avenge your friend.
So, I think the university could move to suppress discussion of the sexual assault as irrelevant to Katie’s assault on another student, since the two incidences are not concurrent and Katie was not truly “defending” her teammate from a sexual assault as I understand it.
Now, let’s talk about what the actual claimed proximate cause was: they notified her of a hearing via an allegedly brusque email delivered in an evening email. Seems like a fairly adult thing to have to deal with to me. I have seen process servers walk into a person’s private garage at an evening time and serve far more ominous papers than the email KM received. Does that make such a person liable for the recipients next actions?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)If trump were a team player, here’s what he should do:
1. announce a run for president. Not now but, say just before desantis
2. Act as the stalking horse for desantis… keep desantis in the news and to the left of “perceived trump” (I say perceived because trump was never a hard right pol).
3. Make it about exposure and favorable coverage for desantis, while doing his “trump” thing to rile the 15 % of the electorate that is “MAGA TRUMP”
4. Go through the primaries with a goal of winning a few but putting desantis on offense and keeping him in the news. The Dems are sure to have a primary fight in 24 OR they will have Biden getting plenty of pub.
5. Drop out and endorse desantis. Leaving desantis as a sane, logical, centrist choice against Biden or whatever other lefty loon the Dems put in place.
this will never happen because trump is about trump.
and, I agree he needs to get off the stage.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Stanford hates fun.
…and any meaningful debate that threatens liberal orthodoxy.
This reality extends to a great many indoctrinated Stanford alums, who tend to be intolerant assholes.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Huh…. I guess the red wave isn’t quite what it was supposed to be.
It always pays to go by the old adage: “Don’t believe the hype.”

- “Tell me why it should be ok.”
The money is front loaded in the publisher’s advance before a single copy is sold. Absent something like this, how do you attract top minds to the bench with the market for legal talent as it exists today? $5-$8 million in per partner profits is tough to compete with.[/quote]
Having cake and eating it too.
Go be a judge, then retire and go back to your partnership job. Choose. It’s part of life.
The advance is based on estimated book sales, which is really just another form of royalty.
I remain unconvinced. Government service should be akin to priesthood. Put your assets in a blind trust and seek no compensation outside of your government salary and pension. Not enough? Don’t work for the government.
