It's kind of amazing that people used to think he was smart. I mean, some people, including sycophants in the tech press, said he was smart, so everyone just sort of went along with it. But now that we get a look into his mind it's shocking. In front of our eyes he's turning into that guy who always used to post about being in a hipster coffee shop where everyone was talking about how awesome Trump was. Yeah, sure.

He is smart in some ways and absolutely bonkers in others. Money and status have definitely changed him- or made him more comfortable showing all sides of himself.

As a lifelong Dem can't say I or anyone else I know is excited about the prospect of Trump/Vance, and honestly I think Vance makes things even worse. The more I learn about Elon the less impressed I am.

He's surrounded by sycophants. He has no idea what normal looks like anymore, if he ever did.

Lifelong Dem since first voting for Al Gore. Obviously not voting Trump, but I understand the appeal of Vance. I do know people in SF that moved from Not Trump to maybe that’s less worse than Kamala.

Hate almost everything about his politics, but he’s a young Senator, self-made, humble roots, successful Silicon Valley VC, well educated, marine veteran in a multi-racial marriage. Fairly liberal director Ron Howard made a movie based on Vance’s memoir. Again, hate his politics but I understand the appeal of him as a candidate.

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

As a divorcee with a kid, i find it extremely hard to find friends who can relate, or even making friends as it seems there’s a stigma attached to you because your relationship didn’t work out.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
