Oh, I was totally upset about the medical malpractice! But the legal part is especially enraging for me. I have a personal issue with lawyers behaving badly.

Same for me and docs. Sadly, there are way too many opportunities for both of us!

Not surprising, honestly; heās a doctor, youāre a lawyer.
So each of you immediately responded negatively to the egregious incompetency in your own area of expertise and then to the other heinous fuckery, after the initial reaction.
But as @Mindysan33ās apt gif demonstrated, itās ALL enraging, on every level.

Letās not forget the jurors. Thirty minutes for deliberation. Really? They selected a foreperson, had a discussion about the testimony and how the coronerās death certificate implicated the doctor, and returned a verdict in 30 minutes? There were at least nine out of 12 jurors who just didnāt give a damn.

We tried that with the whole credit card terms thing here in the US in '09. Last time I checked, it resulted in larger contracts that are harder to read even if youāre a lawyer. So, simplifying language or legalese isnāt always best.

Incredible? To me it sounds horrible, yet another way to divvy up and further erode our ability to concentrate.
I think itās also further evidence that Zuck doesnāt realize he hasnāt been cutting edge for a looooong time.

Youāre sitting in a meeting, and your wife texts you, and it pops up in the corner of your glasses. āWishing I could be with you. I hate this meeting. Thereās no reason for me to be here.ā
You want to respond, but you donāt want to pull out your phone because thatās kind of rude. I mean, if it were acceptable to be on your phone you would have been this whole time, because there certainly isnāt anything in your meeting that you need to pay attention to. So you use a āvirtual handā to text back. āI know honey. This meeting is the same. I want you with me too, but not here.ā
You make some vague attempt to figure out what the speaker is droning on about, but honestly there is no point. You are almost ready to close your eyes by the time your wife texts again. āHow did it come to this? That our whole lives are just meetings with no purpose?ā Itās of course a rhetorical question. You both know. The modern world, the metaverse, all of it was designed by billionaires with no interest in reality beyond money and meetings. Bit by bit they took over every aspect of life and replaced it with them, until now even this casual conversation between the two of you could only take place inside one.
āIām sorry. I love you. Iāll see you tonight.ā Of course even that had taken on the trappings of a meetingā¦it had needed to be scheduled and both of you would need to write reports evaluating whether it indeed had a positive effect on your mental health and productivity, not that you were ever productively working. But at least you would be together. That was something you couldnāt even do in your dreamsā¦not since Meta had found a way to project images of meetings into them.

āNo one even knows youāre doing it,ā
Except Meta, whoāll be logging every bit of it and selling the data on to other people, plus companies that insist employees install monitoring software.

Just being mean for the sake of being mean. Even if it doesnāt work it causes stress.
