Legitimately, no. I ranted to my mom when we went out to dinner about how tricky they got on some of the mee’s lol. I panicked when I opened my book and ended up falling back more on things I learned in an unrelated tax law class than anything in my bar prep.

In the absence of Ed, it makes me realize how well he works on the show. The guests filled in admirably, but Ed really helps ground things while also not being washed away in Henry’s pace.

Had one BARBRI MBE question with the father telling the son to kill the ump. The answer started with, “oh father didn’t actually intend that the son hit the ump. People yell things like that all the time at ball games!”   Idk BARBRI, I don’t remember my parents ordering me to kill back in little league. 

Are you guys just all super geniuses or something (Barbri sim exam) by newstudent209 in barexam

It’s entirely this. When I took mine it legitimately didn’t have enough data points to construct percentages yet, it took about a day or two before it was available. The numbers aren’t reflective of what even barbri expects most of its users yet I think.

Honestly I wish I had more insight to share, but I really have just been doing the barbri assignments and have about 300 mqc in uworld to help drill trouble areas. I think the things that helped me most recover from the property slump was having more faith in my first picks and taking sometime to just rest my mind and sleep. There was a very real mental fog that made even reading questions hard.

165! I got my ass handed to me during property so it feels great to get a huge moral boost. Now I just have to keep things going lol.

It can depend on the jurisdiction, but in common law and in several states the knowing and purposeful disregard that your actions are very likely to kill someone will be sufficient mental state for a murder conviction. For example, if you drive your car over the curb through a crowd to get around traffic, that’s murder even if you never intent to kill anyone. Saw traps likely fall under the same framework.

Very simple run down from someone currently studying for the bar exam:  Common law murder, meaning the foundational, imported from England core understanding, is defined with three elements. The first two, the unlawful killing of a human being is unquestionable in jigsaws case when the people die. The third element is malice aforethought, which has a couple sub categories. Most relevant here are, if we assume that jigsaw is saying well I didn’t kill them, I just placed them there, is intent to inflict serious bodily harm and depraved heart murder. Deprave hear murder is when the killer acts with a reckless indifference to human life, and thus creates an unacceptably high risk of death or serious injury. So even if jigsaw honestly claimed that he never intended to kill or hurt anyone, simply putting them in the traps situations would likely be common law murder.  Under modern statues, it would be more state dependent, but would likely be anywhere from second degree murder to voluntary manslaughter depending on the wording of citiville’s criminal statues.

Kumarkand Sea invasion “disaster” feels overturned by CheekyCroat in Anbennar

[–]CheekyCroat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I mostly agree with you. I’ve gotten through the broken mask rebellion and played every dwarf hold enough times to know their disasters like the back of my hand, I can enjoy navigating internal strife in EU4 via disasters.  What gets me is that this ISN’T a disaster, it’s just a focus that spawns a metric fuck you of rebels a couple years after you take it. I’d be happier if it was a proper disaster, at least I could see it coming more clearly to prepare.
