I couldn’t figure out the “will hurt you if you trust [him]” joke (the question of what exactly people trust me to be or do is interesting to me) given I’m neither of the things it’s between; busy… feeling(?) ways(??) about how directly this would apply to me as well as Brennan.

@arthur_affect that's the line in yud's post that i keep giggling abt because it is SO TELLING. They are SO OFFENDED that he broke a RULE. Their whole project is about identifying The Rules (which is why it's doomed to failure, btw) & those rules are UNIVERSAL & INCONTROVERTIBLE2 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

The funny thing is "Don't share the contents of emails people send you unsolicited" is not in fact a rule If it were, it would be a bad rule, but it isn't, no journalist code of ethics or whatever actually says that

The thing guys like this do isn't even "try to determine what the rules objectively are", it's to MAKE UP rules that benefit them and then ACT LIKE those are objective rules no one could object to

Like they're my boss and I'm the employee "And I just told you that in confidence, so if you tell anyone else you're in big trouble" Uh maybe you should've let with that first, and gotten me to acknowledge and agree to it, considering you have no authority or power over me

That was a good line from Boston Legal Alan shows up at some dude's house in response to an "urgent" phone call with no details and the guy flings open the door and screams "I JUST KILLED MY WIFE"

"Uh... wait, um... you can't call the cops on me for saying that, right? That's a rule? Attorney client privilege?" *deep breath* "It probably would've been a better idea to ask me that first"

(Contrary to what Saul Goodman told Walt and Jesse in the famous "gimme a dollar" scene, money does not have to change hands to establish the existence of attorney-client privilege But the attorney does have to actually agree to take you on as a client)

(Otherwise, you know, attorneys couldn't ever call the cops on anybody)

(I like to think that Saul/Jimmy knows this of course And he just phrases it as "gimme a dollar" in his speech to make a few extra dollars here and there)

I like this theory, but Kim does it to Jimmy in Better Call Saul, too. I think the writers just like the trope even though they should know better at this point.
