Lawyers don't give sentences. Juries and judges do. Lawyers defend or prosecute. But they don't determine time served, though they might advocate for a lesser sentence due to circumstances or get you probation or parole. If you're gonna make a joke, get your facts accurate. My jokes better. "What do lawyers and hookers both have in common? They both get you off." I made that joke unplanned to an actual lawyer at a bar/restaurant on amateur open mic night. I did jokes instead of music. It wasn't even my turn yet when I made that joke. Someone else was setting up for their music. There was a lull. I filled the lull. It got laughs, real laughs. Throwing note cards everywhere got laughs too. I miss the moments I could make people laugh. But now I'm bitter and traumatized in a way that has damaged my funny. It's sad. It's like as sad as well a lot of things frankly. Such a long list. Not sure where to start. Eh. I don't wanna trauma dump anymore. I didn't in the first place want to but I needed to get it out in the past. I'm giving up being heard and believed and helped though. This world's a mess.
