That may be a fair *outline* of depo prep for some depositions. To assert that sufficient depo prep for any deposition (and this one in particular) consists of the fifteen seconds it takes to say those four sentences to your client is false.

I’m not saying that the answers were good ones, or that Donald Trump is a good businessman—just that the answers may well have been true, without being evidence that Donald Trump is a bad businessman.

I don’t agree that this follows. Just because Trump didn’t get involved in the negotiations for or business details of this lease has little to do with his power in his business—it’s merely an indication of where such a lease ranks in terms of importance. If he didn’t have the authority to block the lease, that…

Your first sentence is entirely untrue. Yes, depositions *may* focus on what the person being deposed remembers about events or facts, but good lawyers absolutely should and do prepare their clients for depositions.

I take your point, but I also don’t put my feet in my mouth, or really eat anything that’s been sitting on something my feet touch, so isn’t that kind of different?

For all your Daniel Sunjata needs: please be sure to watch As You Like It.

O/K.then! good lesson:

“Not really intending to be tart” is not the same thing as “just kidding”. It was a clarification, given that it is often difficult to convey tone on kinja, and it was immediately followed by an agreement that “the power differential point is a real one.” I’ve not called you an asshole, nor accused you, explicitly…

Ok, then. I noted that I wasn’t really intending to be tart, and you escalated to “assfuck”. You obviously have a firm grasp on proportionality and discourse. Have a *blessed* evening. 

Huh. And here I’ve been thinking that the age difference between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is the very *least* troubling thing about their abusive wreck of a relationship. (not really intending to be tart--the power differential point is a real one, but about so much more than age)

Oh, more than that--she co-created the show, which yes. Truly good for her. And sucks for us. I have a feeling this isn’t going to be one of those Farscape/Battlestar trades that I eventually accept.

I have nothing against Piper Perabo, but we effectively traded Suri’s Burn Book for this show, and so No.

What fresh hell is this?

Counterpoint: I would happily look at that picture twenty times a day and twice at midnight.

I haven’t actually made any points about his fashion. You described it as interesting. That made me curious, and because this is an interactive forum, I asked why you thought it was interesting. That was all. If it helps to demonstrate my sincerity, the Yeezy show last year is probably the closest I’ve ever come to…

Thanks—I see her name every now and again, and know who she is just because I live in the world, but this helps.

I haven’t read the book. Would reading the book help me understand why this matters? I mean, good luck, author lady. Lady who has cancer, I hope you survive, and I’m sorry you’re sick. Husband, sorry this has happened to you. Other than that, what’s the deal here? That she came out? Is that still something that gets…

At the risk of tar and feathers: Ok. What if he doesn’t finish the series? What if he drops dead tomorrow and never even finishes Winds of Winter? As an ardent fan of both the books (first) and the series (second), I would still be ok. I’d take the series ending as canon, get on with my life, and be happy for GRRM…

I’m sincerely asking what *you* find interesting about the clothing. I’m asking for your perspective on what’s interesting about it, because that was the adjective you used. The fact that his shows are covered extensively in the media reflects clearly that Kanye is perceived as interesting—that’s not surprising, as he…

I’m aware. There were plenty of industry models at that casting call, and if you read the account of the casting experience at nymag, they were also ultimately given priority. I’m not sure what that has to do with my points—you can look at the pictures and know that *these* models were a mix of professionals and…
