Damn... I was really hoping that "student spreadsheet lobby" was a real thing.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Thank you. This makes way more sense.

What?

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

I think it’s saying that students don’t wanna go to law firms that cave to trump.

But I had a stroke reading that headline so I’m not sure.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

I did have a mild stroke two years ago and had to read the comments to make sure the headline was difficult to parse and it wasn't just me. ;p

[-] logi@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

It's not just you. We've all had a mild stroke now from reading this headline. I dare not open the article.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Ok, I just had to make sure hahaha

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Correct, and who could blame anyone but the writer of the headline gore.

What does this say about the law firms that caved? Either that they are guilty of something, so bad at their jobs that they can't even defend themselves in a slam dunk case. Or more concerned with short term money gains than justice. It's poison to any new prospect looking to do anything more than sell themselves for a quick cash out.

RIP our brains.

Lawyers are servants of the state. What else do people expect?
