Weird. The last word in your post is all asterisks for me.

I ignore them all until my supervisor mentions it.

In this study, the researchers asked about 200 non-lawyers (native speakers of English living in the United States, who were recruited through a crowdsourcing site called Prolific), to write two types of texts. In the first task, people were told to write laws prohibiting crimes such as drunk driving, burglary, arson, and drug trafficking. In the second task, they were asked to write stories about those crimes.

To test the copy and edit hypothesis, half of the participants were asked to add additional information after they wrote their initial law or story. The researchers found that all of the subjects wrote laws with center-embedded clauses, regardless of whether they wrote the law all at once or were told to write a draft and then add to it later. And, when they wrote stories related to those laws, they wrote in much plainer English, regardless of whether they had to add information later.

Emphasis mine. That’s not to say what you’ve mentioned doesn’t happen, but even non-lawyers wind up writing this way. The article is interesting and worth reading.

The researchers had a couple of hypotheses for why legalese is so prevalent. One was the “copy and edit hypothesis,” which suggests that legal documents begin with a simple premise, and then additional information and definitions are inserted into already existing sentences, creating complex center-embedded clauses.

“We thought it was plausible that what happens is you start with an initial draft that’s simple, and then later you think of all these other conditions that you want to include. And the idea is that once you’ve started, it’s much easier to center-embed that into the existing provision,” says Martinez, who is now a fellow and instructor at the University of Chicago Law School.

Certainly! It’s a bit of an unspoken duty to encourage others to get licensed. It’s one of the accomplishments I most adore.

You can do it in person, but hamstudy should also provide remote options as well. I did mine from a beach on a Pacific Island!

It’s microplastics all the way down.

I assume you’re in the US, so you can use hamstudy.org. From there you can schedule your exam online and take it online. I did my Tech from a beachside resort in Philippines during the pandemic, and my General and Extra from an AirBnB in New Mexico. Two of my examiners were Australian, and each of them in different parts of the US as well.

With daily study, you should be able to knock out each license level in about a month each.

There isn’t much risk being unlicensed

This is awful advice considering how utterly simple it is to get licensed.

Speaking for US licensees, one only needs to memorize the question bank (legal and encouraged) and take the exam.

It can be done remotely. I did all of mine remotely, and have never set foot in any club or classroom.

Operating without a license will quickly become apparent to any experienced operator. Do not do this.

And how did you get into my house?

Because I’m the only one that’s real and you’re all LLMs programmed to say that.

And it was hard-fought, read the story about what the creator of PGP went through: https://hiddenheroes.netguru.com/philip-zimmermann

You can, at least for now in some small way, accomplish this through use of hardware security tokens. Maybe not for long, but at least it’s something.

You missed the golden one: “Empennage in a Garage”.

Because the results of malpractice only kill, maim, or injure one person at a time.

In aviation, however, the consequences are much more visible; so commercial pilots have regulated limits to flight duty.

E: What I mean to say is I am not ok with this, but what happens is it’s easier for politicians to ignore. It should not be this way, and the current practice of ridiculous hours for the medical profession is properly fucked. Aviation has flight duty limits precisely because it has affected so many at once. In the industry they say that the regulations are “written in blood”.
