  • I’ve had fake-helicopter parents (who were lawyers of the ambulance chasing variety,) insist that we (I,) was discriminating against his son because he was black.

    The kid kept calling in asking questions like “I don’t understand this form” and “what do I put in this box” for the cover letter sheet.

    Sometimes there’s some confusion where English isn’t their first language, so I’m happy to help. But not knowing what goes into the name box… or date of birth…

    Yeah. No. His dad decided to start a lawsuit. I remember our lawyers playing back the judge’s decision for me. They opened up with a motion to dismiss citing one of the phone calls, and that being able to read and write/type English is a requirement.

    Judges reply?

    “Yeah, so whats your hourly rate?” (He made the plaintif- or rather his dad- pay for it.)









  • Pens, random screwdrivers and Allen hexes from furniture, rubber bands, a giant box of paper clips that I have no idea where they came from, a stack of note cards, a couple pads of post it knockoffs, markers, pens that don’t work. Mechanical pencils. Markers that don’t work. Broken wooden pencils. A box of crayons.

    9 usb cables, 6 of which are the OG USB mini, another is the printer cable. 3 other random power cords.

    2 box cutters, 3 pairs of scissors. 3 lighters, 1 of which reliable for now.

    And a random ball of string that’s keeping it all “connected”


  • Ah. Yeah. That makes sense.

    Also, door alarms. Like modern RFID or NFC door systems are capable of reporting in real time someone swiping a badge- a failed badge swipe (ie if someone is trying to get into someone’s room,) or even a threshold of “x-many failed swiped”- and perhaps more importantly; when a door gets forced open (or is otherwise open when it shouldn’t be. Including held open for “too long”)

    The most secured facilities, even just using modern equipment would have lock downs checking biometrics, a badge, and probably some kind of password (and a duress code to use instead of a password,)


  • Marric Garland didn’t even start the poccess until over 2.5 years after it happened.

    for a better comparison, go with Jack Teixera- the Discord Leaks Guy. After they were discovered, it took all of a week to figure out his identity, arrest him, and secure further leaks.

    It took over 6 months to get the documents back- when they knew exactly who had the documents. No investigation necessary. but he didn’t want to be “political.”

    And by the way, those documents are literally damning evidence of violating several laws for which most Americans would be hanged.

    Also, remember, they didn’t actually get them all back. Some of the worst secrets are still missing.
