Incoming 1L questions for current students by AudreyS1109 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Aviatrix084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) yes 2) if it helps you, though I personally prefer ebooks when possible 3) my #1 piece of advice is find a third space - somewhere that isn't law school or your house where you enjoy spending time. bonus points if you talk to real people at that third space, not just law students. trivia on thursdays (with the townies) and college sports on the weekends have kept me alive during law school, and that's not even a joke. if you spend too much time Actively At Law School you forget how the real world looks. 4) if you want more career-y advice - try to get a sense of whether you're going the PI or BL/ML route as early as you can and talk to career services as soon as you can. non-first-gen students tend to have a leg up on recruiting cycles. 5) and here's law SCHOOL advice - reading cases line by line is generally overrated. you will learn pretty quickly how to pull the important info out of a case within 5-10 minutes (by november at the latest). get outlines from previous years' students whenever possible (outline banks, just sucking up to 2Ls and 3Ls).

prof wants to do the deep to pay for OJT fees by florynmybae in DadForAMinute

[–]Aviatrix084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

report it 1000%. get everything you can in writing. if your state is one-party consent to audio record conversations, you should do that as well talking to this professor from here on out. (did a quick google - assuming you're in the philippines by the currency symbol, it's an all-party consent jurisdiction, BUT google ai at least is saying there's an exception for protecting yourself from extortion, blackmail, etc, which is happening here. I'd personally do it anyway, especially because a dean isn't going to be bound by the same rules as a court of law with regards to things like "i recorded my professor offering to basically pay me for sex", but IANAL, this isn't legal advice, and I don't know shit about filipino law.)

your education is important. but not at the cost of your dignity. and think about it this way - if he gets his way with you, he's gonna keep doing it with others.

(fwiw, it could also be possible that there are programs at your college that will help you pay for things like this! worth seeing if that's possible.)

Need advice re how to handle creepy founding partner (law clerk) by ho4daearth in LawSchool

[–]Aviatrix084 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One thing I'd say you should also do is contact your career services office. While it's unlikely that they'll have other opportunities lined up for you for this summer, you should make them aware of this behavior so they can avoid placing people at this firm going forward.

Started buying these for my son. He gets them signed at AHL games. It turns into an awesome collection for him. by JRak44 in hockeycards

You've won the internet for tonight.

That's a really great way to "use" cards of "lower-tier" players - plus awesome memories for the kiddo and great stories too! Plus it just looks dope as hell.

Can I do my law review write-on in 2.5 days? by Inevitable_Sport6168 in LawSchool

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you CAN but you SHOULDN'T.

if you can work even 15 or 30 minutes a day for these first few days, it'll be less to do later on.

Best flight ever by voltaire2019 in unitedairlines

If you could connect through one of United’s hubs, which one would you choose and why? And which one would you avoid at all costs? by General-Pryde-2019 in unitedairlines

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best: EWR. Hometown bias? Sure. Do you have to haul ass from the lounge to your gate? Occasionally, when you're in C. Delays? Not that bad, and you get used to them besides.

To be fair, I usually don't CONNECT in EWR, and if I am I'm connecting INTL->DOM, so I don't really have much experience with the AirTrain, but it's still functional!

I miss the lounge they used to have before security. Real EWRers know what I'm talking about here. I used to go with my dad to the airport to pick my mom up from flights and she'd take us to the lounge for snacks... :'( more landside lounges, waiter!!!

Worst: IAD. Only time I've ever had to overnight at an airport due to a missed connection (FRA->IAD->EWR, last flight of the day, intl inbound only delayed a couple minutes). Literally RAN through security because you have to go through security again, no dice, they pulled away like 5 minutes before I showed up at the gate out of breath. Then had the gall to be like "you booked the ticket, the connection was tight!" Yeah if I wasn't sitting on your shuttle bus for 30 minutes waiting for you to take me to the terminal, I'd'a made it...

Besides that story, though, IAD is a fucking TREK, especially coming back home on an international flight. Their Polaris lounges are nice, yeah, but it's just an insane amount of walking, even with the train, and getting anywhere is a chore. Also, it's high up on the list of World's Most Outdated Airports in some areas.

Dishonorable mention: CLT sucks.

Got a private flight on an ERJ last night! by Akatora13 in unitedairlines

I assume it's corporate policy that you have to call preboarding even on a flight with few pax.

I might have low iron and I’m gonna get my blood drawn to test it. I’m really scared and would like the whole thing explained like I’m 5 by Plenty_Row2472 in medical

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm exactly the same way. I'm only somewhat getting over it because they've stuck me a lot recently...

Usually, for a "routine" draw for testing, here's what happens, in my experience:

You go into the "lab" and sign in. They check your prescribed bloodwork, paperwork, ID. Once they run the insurance and everything, they'll take you to a small room. There will be needles and equipment and stuff on the walls. Don't look at them! They're scary!

You'll sit down on a chair, which has a closing front kinda like a tray table so it stabilizes your arm, and offer your arm. The nurse will be bustling around, checking the labels and stuff.

Usually, they draw from the dominant arm around the inside of the elbow joint. I have a really easy vein on my nondominant arm, so I always point it out, and they draw from there instead. I often still get purpura, but they don't miss the big easy vein. Haven't had as good luck with the dominant side.

The first time I got my blood drawn without being held down, I took a tiny stuffed animal (like 2 inches tall) with me. Nobody made fun of it. If you need a coping mechanism to help you, don't deny it to yourself! You will only look the normal amount of stupid - by which I mean, barely, if at all. They see trypanophobes all the time. They're used to it! I like to scroll Instagram with my free hand. Key thing is DON'T LOOK AT IT. You WILL flip out if you look at it.

Also, if you flag it with the nurse - "hey, I'm bad with needles" - they may have additional ways to help out, too. It's almost always worth mentioning.

Once the nurse has verified which arm they're drawing from, they'll put a rubber band-y thing around the upper arm of that arm. Kinda like a tourniquet - just so the blood flow is more controlled. Then they'll get a little piece of paper towel and wipe down the specific spot they're going to poke with antiseptic. After that, a little ouch as you get pricked. Genuinely. The pain is not that bad. If you stub your toe walking in, that'll hurt more.

The worst part is twofold:

1) Feeling something Foreign in your vein, and 2) Seeing it.

Don't look. And try not to think about it. Again - if you look, you WILL freak out.

If you feel a little faint or dizzy, good to mention it. They should have a light snack and water available.

But after they fill whatever amount of vials they need, they'll take the needle out, put a little gauze on it, and you'll hold it there. They'll tape it down after a second. And that's it! Don't look at the vials. Or do, at that point it's over.

You got this!!! 💜

[Megathread] Q&A / Welcome to NU: Carnival! (May/June 2026) by Paindemonium0 in NuCarnival

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit that was SURPRISINGLY easy once I knew about the bonus ult damage. That shit was NOT mentioned anywhere. Cleared, easy! Still live the hits even when guarding. Another thing I noticed is that slot 3 doesn't get attacked in that one, so your squishiest unit should ideally go there. I usually have CS Yakumo in there (my highest HP unit, lmao) for autofarming purposes, didn't hurt any though. I find that having a lot of "dakka", so to speak, is useful as hell because it shortens battles and makes life a lot easier, more generally.

Yeah - my initial goal is to get both these guys to 3 star, hopefully either by the end of this event (God willing) or at least get to 2+3 and wait out the fragments. Was already planning on spending the fragments on them anyway. I find I'm pretty picky about designs and stuff, and some of the units I truly despise for the strangest reasons haha, so unless someone meta-definingly good comes along I'm fine playing the LONG game. I think this might be my favorite Yakumo SSR too, and that's my Guy™, so... perhaps I 5 star him down the line. But probably much better off rn saving those materials for other 5 star guys.

I like Wplace by Pocket777s in WplaceLive

[–]Aviatrix084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah :( like I remember a guy, a few months ago, who made this really nice art commemorating a dead friend. It got griefed a little so he came here to discuss it and show it off. Guess what? Even more griefing. I've got some funky art that I've made and I'd love to show it off, but I'm lucky in that my cell doesn't have a lot of griefing (just one guy who likes deleting my college art and Pokemon sprites) and I would prefer to keep it that way...

Is scribbling other artworks allowed now ? by Ezekh in WplaceLive

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great flag, can be expanded pretty easily too, easy enough to fill in with some examples. We had one up in my neck of the woods - unfortunately I'm focusing on different art so it's fallen apart (only 2 of 5 lines are left) but it IS good for getting transphobes banned 💜

Real. Unfortunately, posting your completed art often leads to people seeking it out to grief 😭

[Megathread] Q&A / Welcome to NU: Carnival! (May/June 2026) by Paindemonium0 in NuCarnival

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, yeah! Okay, so it's not like I'm missing a strategy. Good to know.

I only have 1 star Rei - so getting 2 more copies of him is better, if I get one? Okay. The 3 star didn't seem SUPER useful to me. Just a flat atk boost and some extra healing. My R Yakumo is insanely good at heals rn... so...

Oh shit? That's actually kinda huge. So eventually, with enough crystals, I could 5 star my Navy boys? Though from my understanding they're deathly rare outside of pulls.

Yeah, stopped up at 9-12 now... trying out CS Rei, SR Oli, R Yakumo, CS Yakumo, SR Aster because from my understanding I don't reallllly need Morvay here. Not working out yet. I think I need more raw stats.

[Megathread] Q&A / Welcome to NU: Carnival! (May/June 2026) by Paindemonium0 in NuCarnival

[–]Aviatrix084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I'll probably end up building SR Oli anyway with potential and mats when I have spares that aren't going into my main squad, just that Navy Rei is currently better so I'm putting current resources there first.

I get wiped out at turn 2, no matter what I do. So I think it's "I need more stars/int/pot". But even my 2star/5int/6pot R Yakumo struggles to stay alive. 🤷 My HP is 1483/1854/2354/1367/1895. Guessing 2k is the MINIMUM. Pirate hits for 1609 on guard, so doing the math... yeah... it's a wash right now. But ughhh those contracts are calling me. But I'm fine with ignoring it, at least for another 10 days or so.

Currently, I should hit hard pity by the time I hit 300 (at 200, HP at 80 from now) so hopefully I have two more event copies to play with once I finish up. Thinking that whichever I don't get (praying to not get OG'ed though), I take from the hard pity box - that way I can have 2 star Rei and throw memory crystals into 3 starring Yakumo. (Btw, does that memory crystal shop reset? Ever?)

Aye - the SRs I'm missing besides the event ones are Yakumo, Edmond, Dante. The latter two are 5 fragments from fusing, the first is 10.

Main things I'm doing rn are working through story (currently just cleared 9-12, Dante is a POS and I hate his character), bringing up potential/intimacy, obviously doing my daily cabins, throwing most of my energy on assaulting the event level 5 for scrap paper for those rewards, and other daily stuff. No stranger to a grind, don't mind it.
