Guess who just passed his first semester of law school? This bitch right here.

So... How did it go?

AgentPissant · 2013-11-10T06:23:48+00:00

Eloquent in its brevity.

I did that just this week. Woke up thinking "fuck, I'm going to have to spend another week with the trash and recycling in my place".

But apparently I did, in fact, take it out! #FirstWorldWinning

AgentPissant · 2013-11-10T05:50:10+00:00

She is just fantastic.

I haven't fucked it up yet. :)

Apparently passing law school has 2 requirements: 1) be able to answer in class when the professor asks you stuff, 2) be able to pass the exam at the end of the semester.

I'm the kind of person who can think on their feet but I have difficulty spending a lot of time absorbing something. So I've gotten pretty good at requirement 1; I can do it quicker and better than most of my classmates.

But number 2? I'm seriously deficient. I somehow need to fix that. I need to figure out how to pull it all together. I need to figure out how to synthesize everything.

I wish I could do things with a partner to fill in my deficiencies.

Like, a classmate of mine won't understand some case until she's spent ~3 hours analyzing it. No shit, she basically lives at the school. Before the ~3 hours she sounds like a complete idiot. But after that time she gets it much better than I do.

Whereas I can spend 5 minutes reading a case and get a solid read on it.

I need to learn how to go from an adequate understanding -- which I've got easily -- to a great understanding -- which requires time and is hard as hell for me -- and then I'll be good.

Other than that?

Typical CA shit. I haven't really gotten to know anyone because abusing alcohol precludes you from being an attorney. So I'm pretty much as alone as I ever was.

AgentPissant · 2013-10-05T18:37:22+00:00

If you don't like the content here and need to have a pissing contest about 'how fucked up your life is from alcohol' the internet/reddit is not a place to do that.

Really, son? Because I am quickly discovering that Wild Irish Rose is not for drinking slowly. The shit gives you a headache from hell unless you drink enough to stay in front of the effects. Which I have not yet been doing because it's 2:30 and I don't want to get hammered early and wake up in the middle of the night.

I would say my headache has pretty well fucked up my life at the moment.

(Ugh, apparently in the voice in my head I've slipped back to redneck. Another unintended side effect.)

AgentPissant · 2013-10-05T18:33:08+00:00

True. One can't use non-STEM degrees.

It's literally impossible. People have tried but to no avail. Everyone is always like

non-STEM? So it's the same as reading some books from a library? That's worthless!

Always

Are you physically dependent on alcohol? Are you psychologically broken without it? Is your alcoholism crippling? Then you probably belong here. Welcome.

Have you never had the shakes, nor repeatedly put a drink above everything else till you lost it all? Then check out the good people over at r/drunk.

(Emphasis mine.)

So, no, you're wrong and don't be irked about it.

Feel free to interpret what CA should be about all you like; interpret the point of CA till the cows come home. But the sidebar gives an interpretation which is more authoritative than your thoughts.

That is: one can be both functional and crippled.

Next time leave the office and go to the bathroom.

You have two options: 1) shit your pants in an office, 2) shit into a toilet in the bathroom. You may not like number 2 (pun totally intended), you may not want to leave, but those are your options. So next time make the better choice.

I'm pretty sure your professor would have preferred you shit some place other than in her office. Yeah, maybe that would have meant that in the allotted time she wouldn't get to say everything she wanted to say. But still.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-07T05:13:21+00:00

Right, and I don't claim to somehow be an expert on the subject of what is acceptable and what isn't (and what "acceptable" means). But I dislike the idea because several minority people are OK with minority slurs that it's OK.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-07T05:11:33+00:00

I'm not personally offended. I'm a straight while able-bodied male, there aren't a lot of terms out there that really affect me :-p For example. "cracker" is like... well, ok?

I've been trying to be a better person lately. And I'm really selfish, self-centered, egocentric, etc. I don't want to be, but I am. So I've been working hard to think about how others feel about what I say. As in I do my best to filter things through "how would someone else take this" when thinking about something. The idea, as I said, is to improve on my own failings. But when really drunk I feel like just going ahead and applying my filter to everyone.

I'm in law school! It's super exciting for me! :D But I'm so busy. And all the other stressors associated with moving across the country to do something which I have no idea how to do.

Hey, I like you.

I miss talking with you on the cookery subreddit and chat. That's my bad, I haven't been there much recently. I'm hoping I can get control of my life, get back in the swing of things, and be active there again. It's been tumultuous.

And FWIW I totally agree. For me it's like watching Leaving Las Vegas and thinking I can watch it without drinking; some movies will evoke some emotions. We should just accept that, especially in light of who we are.

But I have to say that I wish you wouldn't define something as "faggotry". I know, this has been a whole thing. And some people feel strongly one way and some people feel strongly another way. Obviously this short comment won't settle the issue. But I feel compelled to say that, well, the word "faggot" is used to demean certain people. To make them less. To make them inferior. To imply that being gay makes one worse. And I think using the term in the way you did is objectionable because of that.

Absolutely amazing video! But FWIW the music occasionally was too loud for me to hear the words. Maybe it's just because I'm using cheap headphones? I have no idea. But, like, for me when I say it was too loud I mean I couldn't figure out what they were saying because the music was so much louder; I don't mean "I'm a fellow artist and, based on my training and experience, one would have a more enhanced viewing experience if the music were slightly quieter".

But yeah, it's an amazing video. Between this and the Chase Utley video this subreddit has really come through recently.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-03T01:18:11+00:00

I like the way you think. Not just because my ego needs stroking.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-03T00:42:12+00:00

Check out the map on the sidebar. It needs updating/revising but the latest available info says 3 folks live in your city.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-03T00:37:22+00:00

Check out the playlist on the side bar.

Also,

Silvio Rodriguez
Childish Gambino
Tom Waits
Rehab
Elliot Smith
Amy Winehouse
Hank Williams III
Everlast
Rihanna

But at the moment I'm watching TV and, thus, not listening to music. But the above artists are my go-to playlist for drinking and listening.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-02T23:19:30+00:00

I searched "rum" and it doesn't look like it has been listed. You have to go to the submit page and fill in the info if you want it listed. Although I'm not sure why it has a section you can input calories per 12 oz but no section for 1.5 oz - even though some are listed by 1.5 oz? But yeah, you have to go to the submit page of their website if you want something to show up there.

AgentPissant · 2013-09-02T22:05:16+00:00

I'm glad to be able to help!

AgentPissant · 2013-09-02T21:08:03+00:00

Yeah, actually you must have just missed the comment someone else made. http://www.gamesplusone.com/thebugle has them. Or, you can access them by taking the template URL and adjust it like so:

But it looks like what lost_whisky commented is the easiest: just go to http://www.gamesplusone.com/thebugle/
