It is not the fine that will harm the lawyer. It is the formal sanction. That follows a lawyer for their entire career. In the US when a lawyer is applying for admission to a state bar even to practice one case, many if not all states will ask if the lawyers has ever been sanctioned previously and provide details. The court can refuse an attorney to appear on a case if it has reasons.
For example, the infamous Jack Thompson was removed from a case in Alabama as the court said he lied on his application. When asked if he had ever been sanctioned by his state, Florida, Thompson said
They will try to use AI as an excuse for submitting fake documents to a court case and get way with it.
The point you are missing is that somehow courts will allow AI as an excuse for false statements. They will not. Whether it was generated by AI or a lawyer making up false a statements, that is the same to the court. Second, the hard part of citations is finding the cases that support an argument. The citations are easy to check whether they exist which makes the lawyers look incredibly lazy or dumb. Lastly, there are lawyers on the opposite side that will check as they have to counter any arguments made.
You'll find the urban dictionary diverges from Miriam Webster as well, offering up several definitions, some involving "side hustles
Well that's a lie. From your own link onUrban Dictionary: "An online side hustle that consists of expressing political opinions, usually right-wing, and then asking for financial support in order to continute to express those opinions. . . " TThat's not remotely the same thing.
So there seems to be some variation here that you're insisting not be allowed.
And what part of the rest of the definition has anything to do with what you are saying: "In this context, grift implies that either A) the opinions are just a performance (and not actually held by the speaker, so the grift is just an act to make money), or B) the need for financial support is significantly overstated, typically by stoking fears of being censored. Thus, a genuinely opinionated online presence with a small amount of support is not considered a grift."
Furthermore Jeff has posted elsewhere here and is free to defend himself if he feels the need. But I suspect "the playa is too busy running his game".
What game? The man is making YouTube videos.
And I'm not actually the originator of the post that invoked the original "grift" in this thread.
You said: "He makes videos mostly about other people's technology, and sometimes it's contrived stuff just to make a video about the latest tech toys." when someone asked why he is grifter. Then you said: "You two are reading way to much negativity into "grift"" when called out on your statements.
So your pedantry is noted and dismissed with prejudice.
Bahahahahahaah. You think you are some sort of judge here. No you are not.
ftr: the way this works is that an attack on russia's nuclear capability with the obvious implication of nato/britain provokes russia into striking back, and hopefully in a strong way that allows the ignition of ww3. this is the aim: expand the war in ukraine, which is otherwise practically lost for nato, into a global conflict that can be maintained in time which would inevitably drag the us in. it is a desperate and reckless move.
Bahahahaha. Next thing you'll say is that Ukraine soldiers shooting Russian soldiers with bullets is an attack on Russia's nuclear capability. After those soldiers could have guarded Russian's nuclear missile silos in the future.
look: the russians have been using 6 of these bombers to strike deep into ukraine with conventional weapons, and not even at full payload.
According to you Russia used these bombers to attack Ukraine with conventional weapons. I seriously doubt only six were used.
only six of them. by the most optimistic estimates this attack only disabled 10 (and that's an overestimation, but still). they had 58 total. what this means is that this attack has had absolutely zero impact on the capability of russia to keep hitting deep inside ukraine with conventional weapons and these same bombers.
Bahahahaha. So was Ukraine supposed to identify exactly which of the six was used and only disable those six? According to you, there are 10 fewer bombers now that Russia can use. Did Ukraine wipe out Russia's fleet? No one said they did. But your "zero impact" statement is pure denial and you know it..
they could have chosen many other targets: refineries, amo depots, naval fleet, infrastructure, whatever. the potential for damage would have been huge, possibly not very signifficant in the bigger context of the ongoing war but still greater than zero, and the media effect would have been the same or even better. but no, they specifically crossed this specifically red line targeting strategic nuclear bombers (ffs, how hard is this for you to grasp?) to elicit a very specific response.
They have attacked other targets. It's you either ignorance or denial that you don't recognize. But according to you from above, these bombers were used to attack Ukraine.
and russia will respond, no question. the clamor in all layers of society and elite is unanimous. they have to, but hopefully not in the way that the warmongers, the provocaturs, intended. if they do that we're all pretty screwed.
Please. Russia has ALWAYS been the provocateur here. Again it is either your ignorance or dishonesty that is being demonstrated.
You two are reading way to much negativity into "grift".
Grift has a meaning. It seems you define to use words according to you.
Busking on a guitar in the subway for change is a grift too.
Please explain how a busker is a grifter. Again, words have meaning.
At the end of it, he's a self-made man, and I respect that.
Are you confusing someone who has initiative with someone who is a grifter.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
