>>44027 i like when articles just say something went viral even though they're just writing the article at that moment and then it gets a bunch of clicks anyway
>>44032 it builds up anticipation in the reader's mind that something amazing is happening even when it's something normal it's the same kind of effect that you get when binge-reading facebook fails or something like that, then you go back to facebook regular and just read regular posts by people and your brain is still primed to think that there's something hilarious layered in what someone's saying and your brain will actually find it when there's nothing there it'll find irony when there isn't any
But why would someone click a thing that's supposedly viral? >>44044 But then it probably isn't actually viral at all
月
it's a fairly low investment to click and read and it innately triggers either frustration or sensation in our minds even people irritated by clickbait will get value for their investment out of clicking it because it's a chance to reaffirm their irritation with clickbait articles and people usually aren't entirely vigilant about that belief anyway. maybe something looks like an interesting concept but they dislike the clickbait, and can justify clicking it for the reason mentioned above but still have curiosity about what's contained
it's exposure to concept and affirmation of value for a click and a short read i mean, you watch videos that trigger you all the time just for the sake of criticizing them it's not much different
I know which way it always is but I can't help having that short moment of confusion when I see "transgender boy" "Is it mtf or ftm? I could see both being referred to as a boy"

>>44410 Direct comes first, it is when the lawyer first calls the witness. The lawyer who's turn it is to go, to be exact. Cross is when the other lawyer gets to ask questions to the witness, it needs to be about things that were talked about during direct. Redirect is where the first lawyer gets to go back and ask about things that came up on cross. Recross is where the second lawyer gets to go back and ask about things that came up on redirect.
And it goes back and forth until the issues are resolved or everyone is tired of arguing.
>>44412 Does everything thereafter count as recross and redirect? Thank you!! I landed this new contract today for legal transcripts and a lot of it is way over my head do you mind if i ask you questions now and again like that
Thanks! They're going to call me on monday for training prep stuff I just want to make sure i have all my ducks in a basket when the time comes There are so many rules I didn't expect about all this stuff courts are crazy about their transcripts. They have mandates, given by the state, about which line a question to a witness is supposed to be given on and a different one for the answer from the witness
// sorry, not what line, but what character per line the Q has to fall on, and where the question has to be begin, the character count, not the line count there are so many rules it makes me a little giddy inside, but there are some ways i don't know how to implement the rules, like depositions and separate rules for cross and re-cross examinaions I understand the formatting but i dont necessarily know when those things occur!
>>44417 Well the court reporters don't have finalized products. They capture everything that is needed -- notes, stenotype, or otherwise, in order for an accurate transcript to be made from the recording + reporting notes. As opposed to my work in the past, all name spellings and indiscernable dialogue should be noted by court reporters beforehand, with special notes like making sure "Your analysis" doesn't get mis-transcribed as "Urinalysis" That's a real-time job which is a lot more hectic than I currently do
I get about four times as much time as they have and transcribe verbatim what's being said with greater accuracy (In the past during a congressional hearing I had an assignment which was to modify the real time recording. One point of which the stenotype had converted the
>>44418 I'm not sure whether I get notes or not. I haven't started on this at all yet. I've applied and been accepted into training, with a bunch of reading assignments which I've already done. I do talk to some transcriptionists who work with court reporters though, and they get notes from the court reporter. I don't know whether I will or not! It's yet to be seen. I don't even know if the pay is better than what im currently doing, but I'm super excited about the chance to get legal TC experience. I know that's where the money is made, and gives me a segue into paralegal or court reporting, should I choose to do that in the future Although this company promises a fairly lucrative industry to begin with But given all the rules and formatting, I don't know that it'll be better or not. My initial guess is that it's about 60% higher pay than what I'm doing now, but it pays by page rather than by audio minute, like general trans. I don't know how much time on average passes for a legal transcript to fill up a page. I don't know how many sobbing women I'm going to have to deal with that take an hour to discern one page of content.
>>44418 oh, but to answer this question, stenotype is automatically converted into legible text, where applicable it's not always applicable it's a two person system that takes stenographer's inputs and assesses them on a digital system that identifies potential respective words those guys get paid like triple what i do, though, but they have to do it real time
Thanks! I'm really excited. If I pass training, they pay for me to fly to New Jersey to complete some certification course, too. That sounds like a totally good thing to have on my resume for the future. I sent my resume out of nowhere last night too and they got back to me same-day. I'm super glad I did. My resume is awful but I'm pretty sure they didn't even look at it. I think the only requirement was that you actually attached a resume, haha.
Acquiring new skills and qualifications is always a good thing. There's no shortage of things that need to be transcribed in the legal world, so if you can break in you'll have something very useful. Also the kind of thing that can be a career rather than a job.
My resume is really bad. I didn't expect to get a response at all. I'm one of those "I won't feel bad at failing if I don't try hard in the first place" people, so I scrapped together an awful resume It's self-degrading, cynical, and 100% unprofessional And they're like "Great! Are you available to work full-time?" And even though I have two other contracts, I said yes. 70 hour work weeks here I come I can't wait to buy a motorcycle I don't have time to ride and have a family I don't have time to care for this is going ot be great
Im not sure whether I'll have more disposable income or not! This is paid by page, rather than by minute It'll either turn out to be way better or way worse than what I'm already doing The pay-per-page rate -seems- pretty good, but legal stuff is complicated! If I have to spend four hours formatting each document, I'm not sure if it's worth it or not! But there is a guaranteed workload
I plan to balance both contracts out to about 60 hours a week, and that way I don't have any bad fallback when one is down for a season and I won't have to deal with having no work for a week keeping two baskets in one bush

>>44432 oh yeah, what exactly is a deposition? I'm supposed to list when that happens. And side-bar conversation, I'm supposed to list according to whether the judge deems it on-record or off-record I dont even know what a side bar is
Anno
>>44433 Have you just been making up idioms or are these weird Southern takes on them that I don't know of.
>>44435 A deposition is something that happens pre-trial as a part of discovery. Discovery is where the two sides swap information before the trial. A deposition specifically is a thing where the witness is asked questions under oath by the other lawyer. A transcript is taken of a deposition but no judge is present, just the lawyers for both sides. So it sounds like you need to note what day the deposition happened on, because it happens pretrial.
A side-bar is when during trial both lawyers go up and talk to the judge about something. Sometimes it's on the record, sometimes it isn't.
I'm watching a streamer playing BotW. He spent like four lives trying to kill a single Bokoblin in a ruined building to get at a chest. And after he finally did, he opened the chest...to find all it had was twenty rupees.
The kicker is it was the first twenty rupees he'd found in like, hours of playing. Money is apparently a rare commodity in the game.

It looks like colloquy is anything outside of the specified event e.g. if an attorney and wtiness are engaged in Q&A, and either refers to the judge, that's considered colloquy and marked outside the bounds of the Q&A
all these rules are pretty fascinating to me i'm excited about doing something new
I finished the main story in Nioh Took ~90 hours Still a ton of sidemissions and NG+ content which Jan said had a new difficulty mode with tougher enemy placement

Are you intentionally trying to take a break or is it just happening.

for the first couple days it was just too inconvenient to go get cigarettes because i was so busy but then on day 3 i was like "you know fuck it i'll just quit to prove to myself that i can" so now i'm 6 days in and it will probably be a rough couple weeks but then at the end of it i won't smoke anymore so that's cool
Bang if you stop smoking I'll think you're less sexy.
Anno
All the more reason to quit.
bang
i mean this is just so that i stop smoking regularly when i go downtown to clubs and shows, inevitably some girl i'm talking to will offer me a cigarette and i will be a few shots in and then smoke this is just the way things are it's how i started smoking the last two time
it's probably not a big deal if i only smoke when i drink thoug i cut down on the drinking really hardcore the past year i really only do it when i go to shows and maybe a few times a month on my days off

I had this tute a couple of days ago and people were arguing that politicians with dual-citizenship should be able to hold high up posts in the executive government.

Anno
>>44883 But conflict of interest can arise even from singly national persons as well. It's not like you need to become a citizen of a foreign country to become invested in it.
bang
why did the nazis have to burn the jews it would be a lot easier to live in a world where they didn't burn the jews
>>44888 yeah. no kidding. that's beside the point though. A dual-citizenship is an obvious conflict of interest and one that's easy to prove in court. and just because there are many other ways that a conflict of interest can come about doesn't make it a good idea.
>>44891 Does it only work one way, or does that not matter? If someone is born Australian and is later dual-citizenshipped, can they no longer run for these high up roles?
It doesn't matter if you're born in the country. You just need a citizenship and when you become an Australian citizen, you're SPECIFICALLY offered the choice of becoming a dual-national or else denouncing your old citizenship
so these are people who CHOSE to keep their ties to their old countries and still want to run for office
and some people can't see why that could be problematic.
Anno
All right, I see. In that case I think the situation is mostly fair and encompassing. No complaints.
Anno
The only "issue" I would see is how available the information for the consequences is. If people don't know the full consequences of keeping or denouncing their previous citizenship, then it's not entirely a fair situation. And I believe the government has a responsibility to properly inform individuals of these consequences before they make such a decision.
Kirara☆
Yah, seems fair to me as long as you can still denounce later
Marsh-chan
>>44897 What's the deal in the States? I know you have to be born there to be president >show us the birth certificate But what about running for the senate or congress
Kirara☆
We don't really do dual citizenship But you can be born anywhere and get elected for anything that isn't President
Eg Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor of California, born in Austria, I believe
Marsh-chan
>>44896 I'm pretty sure you just need to denounce it sometime before you're nominated for the government role.
Marsh-chan
Arrnie is actually quite an interesting example. Looks like he was allowed to keep his Austrian citizenship while he was governor. I suppose since the US doesn't formally acknowledge dual-nationals its less of an issue there.
