The main problem with trying to reduce the social media use is that you just end up alone in a dark room, doing and feeling exactly what you’d been drowning out with the constant stream of light and sound and words and mild reinforcement. What garbage.

What is camera training.

Strike that, what is “training.”

Saying things you shouldn’t, to someone who isn’t there to help you, is always about ego.

Someone who believes he is the smartest guy in the room will sell his own ass for crackers by the third hour of a deposition, and walk out smiling, never realizing what happened.

Oh, I should read that.

We’re not doing hamlet, then?

I told the other girl’s mom (my childhood friend) that we wouldn’t be doing any shopping. Because my kiddo really needs to avoid reinforcing the “acquiring things makes you feel good” pathway.

So the mom told her girls “no shopping/don’t ask,” and this is how the older reminded the younger.

There is often coverage under products theories (“I haunted my friend in the ass, because the ghost mishaunted”) premises liability theories/negligent security (I have one right now), EPL (I swear to god).

Intentional acts exclusions tend to exclude acts that have consequences expected or intended from the perspective of the insured, and it’s rare that the spiritualist who actually wielded the ghost is the insured/target of a suit for phantasmic injury.

There are a remarkable number of situations where a haunting will be covered at least sufficient to trigger defense under reservation of rights.

About ghosts?

Oh no, how will I make punch.

And from there, the “somebody stole my ghost/you stole your own ghost/none of you should be ghostbusters anyway” fact pattern. Coverage for negligent and intentional ghost injuries. Finally international distribution of ghosts. Though that was more “you’re admitted in the first circuit right?”

You don’t take necromancy; necromancy finds you.

In my case it was, something along the lines of, “this guy haunted his own ass with a replica ghost, then haunted his friend in the ass, alleging mishaunting. You’re good at finding experts, see if you can find out whether that’s plausible.”

I am!

Hey, I represent mediums. In fact my highest profile case involved liability for ghost manufacture and distribution. I just don’t feel the need to meet a scary ghost, personally. Or invite any hauntings of my own home.

I’ve never shot a gun. Because it seems like a stressful thing to do for no reason.

Like meeting a scary ghost.

“If you know what to do, it won’t hurt you.”

-Nah.

“Ghosts can be useful, sometimes.”

-Nah.

“If you had a ghost friend, you wouldn’t be scared of other ghosts.”

-Nah.

13, I think. The ones I have not done are pretty obvious, if you know me.

I’m sorry you are going through this.

They still make that?!?!?

I liked it! I canceled paramount plus anyway, but I liked it!

Ouch.

We could sit in a folding chair, then sprint across three or four city blocks, to reach another, identical folding chair, and pretend we’re taking American with a connecting flight in Philly.

Same.

My first law job was four days a week, at $10/hr, for a solo practitioner in a possibly haunted but definitely crumbling, converted mill building up on the odd end of Andover. ‘09. Very tough market.

Oh good idea. I will drink a whole can of Diet Coke tomorrow and pretend to be on JetBlue.

Oh yes. It is my strangest and most useless thing. I sit down and the answers point themselves out.

Well I suspected, but I hadn’t confirmed

Look I heard it was the only class, except evidence and crim pro, with a partial multiple choice final.

Patents was my lowest grade (well, worst evaluation) in law school.

I got a “why?”

Several of the courses, though, were from a school I was invited to stop attending. So your strategy works too.
