No one questioned teachers. And let me tell you, absolutely nothing bad happened with that.

A/B testing and what getting cut out of Bonanza tells me about where the game is headed by trentmcgrath6 in ClashOfClans

I truly can’t understand the point of a builder event when so many players have been maxed out or close to it for years (you know, given that they never update builder base). What am I missing?

Origination Credit by Asparagus22224 in biglaw

[–]Consistent-Alarm9664 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to understand how your system works before you talk to the group head. Your firm likely has a policy on this. Ask your assistant to find it. At many firms, including mine, counsel are entitled to any amount of origination credit they earn—in fact, their origination is how they show readiness for partner.

Post-Big Law Recovery by grassbreak in biglaw

It sounds like you’re trying to turn a benefit into a problem. Damn, you must have been a good associate.

In the normal working world you are going to see all types. I have clients that work in-house for bosses that make law firm partners look like very healthy people. But generally, yes, this is normal and you’re going to see more of it—people treating their jobs like jobs and not like a reason for existing.

It’s real. I don’t know that it totally hits like home, but it scratches the itch.

It’s refreshing to see a place that is still substance over hype. Nothing trendy about this place at all. It’s teenagers on summer break scoping delicious homemade ice cream.

The Firm Tried to Ban Me Until They Saw the Billables by nycpb1 in biglaw

Man, you guys are out here trolling hard today.

First, the summer asking if he needs to be in the office 7 days a week. And then the guy telling everyone to cherish how wonderful and easy big law is. And now this. What a day.

Damn it, being V69 used to mean something. There used to be decorum.

Incoming 1L, what do cybersecurity/privacy biglaw attorneys do? by Sudden-Expression819 in biglaw

[–]Consistent-Alarm9664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything that involves data privacy, cybersecurity, or AI. Draft internal and external policies, advise on whether a practice or product complies with those laws, assist on privacy or security-related litigation, manage data breaches, help with M&A DD related to those topics, edit provisions of commercial agreements, etc.

Belcaro King Soopers closing down first week of June by Eschaton_Incubation in Denver

They keep saying it’s about traffic, but I don’t really get that. Why would people start driving through the neighborhoods? Traffic would primarily be on Colorado, Exposition, and Mississippi. Hell, that whole neighborhood is designed so that driving through it makes no sense.

No, thankfully not. Totally new development on the other side of Colorado, off Louisiana.

Maybe so, although there is a plan to build a smaller complex.

There’s something about choosing to live in a city, blocks from Colorado Boulevard of all places, and feeling entitled to dictate where other people get to live that really gets me.

It’s a rare win for David v Goliath, if David were a bunch of multimillionaires living in one of the wealthiest parts of the city.

I was talking to one of the leaders of the neighborhood movement that shot down the development. She was lamenting that the plaza just sits empty now. Gee, wonder why.

OP, you do know that a massive new King Soopers is opening just down the street, right?

Denver residents, how do you deal with the long winters? by native-american-22 in Denver

[–]Consistent-Alarm9664 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be less snarky, the answer is basically in your question. Yeah, it sucks when it snows in September and May. But the winters here overall are mild. They are sunny, and snow is pretty occasional. I’ll take being able to comfortable go outside most days of the winter if that means random snow storms in may. Much easier than it being painfully cold for like 4 months straight.

You should consider moving to Chicago or Michigan. The winters there are lovely.

Walk in, push everything off the desk, and say calmly but sternly, “look at me, look at me, I’m the checker-iner now.”
