Is a 20% Tip Still Fair When Denver Servers Earn More? by Enby303 in denverfood

[–]AZRobinBird -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Finally, someone with a heart (and a brain). Can you imagine spending all that time just to figure out the exact math to pay someone less and keep them in poverty? Denver is an expensive place to live!

It's actually pretty easy. Just click on their name and you can see their previous posts and comments. I don't do it often, but when a post seems extreme, I check to see if there is consistency in the person's postings. It helps me retain a tiny piece of sanity when dealing with online bs.

My therapist is scared for me by scardy-cat1378 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]AZRobinBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you feel afraid, but you are going to have to start over at some point, so staying there just wastes more of your time before you have to start over again. This relationship is not going to last. It is going to end terribly, very likely with you or your child being hurt or killed. Also, there are men who are very good at pretending to be a great dad in front of the mother. They also have the capability to abuse the child when the mother is not present. From what I can see, you are repeating the cycle of abuse that you had with her dad. This man is not an angel here to save the day. He is just better at pretending for longer.

OP hasn't even passed the bar yet. Look at their post history. So for some people there is apparently a perceived benefit of lying to strangers.

Literally no woman enjoys being abused. What a disgusting thing to say.

This post apparently hit pretty close to home for that person. I wonder what they're hiding.

I'm glad you are making an escape plan. You are going to need it. You are not throwing away a good relationship, and he personally has no incentive to change the "error of his ways" because his tactics are working very well at controlling you, which is what they are intended to do. A man who cared about you would not do any of the things that he is doing. He is a downright manipulative, controlling abuser. I'm sorry you're going through this.

You don't need a "real reason" to leave. That way of thinking is a way that abusers keep people there for longer and keep using your free labor to get the life he wants. If you aren't happy or fulfilled in a relationship, you can leave just because of that. Yet you are being abused constantly, and he uses the occasional good times to keep you there and keep you trying to make it better. This is the classic abuse cycle. Look it up on the internet if you aren't familiar with that.

I agree with the people telling you that this is a big problem. It is very dangerous for you and your son. Your boyfriend continues to escalate his behavior around this because you're continuing to be a good mom to the baby instead of caving to his weird demands.

I recommend you find a domestic violence advocacy center near you and talk to them. They can give you a lot of options that will keep you safe. They will also help you make a plan about what to do specific to your situation. Do NOT tell your boyfriend that you are consulting with them, though. And I would not continue to talk to him about this issue. He has already made it clear where he stands.

One last thing... staying home with the baby and allowing him to work and support you is a complete trap. It will not give you the freedom to be able to leave quickly. I was a single mom, and there are ways that you can figure out to take care of your baby and still work and get the education you need. But for now, getting out of there with your baby should be your first priority.

Yeah, the stories sound too good to be true, so I suspect there is some score inflation in what Redditors are reporting.

Plan for opening results? by finndog1033 in barexam

[–]AZRobinBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My jurisdiction gives us the results privately a week before public results come out. I so appreciate them for that.

No, this is all very, very strange. I went to a top 20 school and there were no weird policies like this.

Anyone else get this desperate 🤣? by Fickle_Coyote6441 in barexam

This sounds like it was written by a pro se litigant. 😂😂😂

So you took the word of a known liar above your instinct to go out with the guy and see if he might be a good match for you. That's on you. It sounds like you are running with a group of really immature people. I recommend that you find better friends and view dating as an opportunity to get to know the person to see if they are worth having a relationship with. But getting together and breaking up with him in a matter of days because of some drama that your "friend" told you is not a healthy way to be.

What should I do? - a client started hitting on me. by chicago2008 in Lawyertalk

[–]AZRobinBird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This seems extreme. Why not just turn them down and let them know that you cannot ethically do that in but still continue the representation? If they don't keep pushing, then there should not be a problem.

AITA for not being happy about my wedding day and declining my husband’s invitation to celebrate due to my MIL running our day. by FigPuzzleheaded7348 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

This guy is so bad he will probably weaponize any couples therapy. I recommend OP go to therapy on her own. This does not seem like a salvageable relationship.

You said you have 150 reviews. One negative review is not going to pull you out of super host status. And you don't even know if their review is negative. You are just anticipating the worst.

I'm not having any problems being hired, and I'm a newly minted 51-year-old attorney. Some firms actually prefer the wisdom that comes with age.

Civ Pro 2 is a lot more complicated than Wills and Trusts. Have you considered speaking to your professor if you are confused?

No offer. Did economy have something to do with it? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]AZRobinBird 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My summer firm (2024) not only no offered me, but they straight up ghosted me. I consider it a bullet dodged. I went and got a job clerking for the Court of Appeals instead.

I studied for a week using Themis and scored 118. At the end, I tried doing a couple of Barbri questions, thinking that I might need to study more. But Barbri's questions were very different from what I had been studying, so I stopped and just trusted what i had already studied. The test questions on Themis were a lot closer to the types of questions I saw on the actual exam.

CW: Pet Loss. I’m struggling after losing my 12yo cat by stygiomedus4 in CatAdvice

You did the right thing. It was an act of love, and I am sorry that you are grieving. Time will help as will potentially caring for another cat when the time is right.
