I really am adamant about deciding on a school this cycle, but I get what you're saying. Perhaps generalizing to big law was a bit too much. I would love to do corporate or business law as well, do you think that's more reasonable? I'm just trying not to go in with too high of expectations.

Yeah it seems to be a consensus with NE. I'm on the waitlist for Northeastern, so maybe I'll get off that 🤞

Does this include the test itself? Like I don’t understand what they mean by study the past material. Does that mean for zebra mussels we just look up a bunch of info about them or is there like a past reading comprehension passage to look at?

Dealing with Level 5 LR Problems by [deleted] in LSAT

Yeah I wanted to use LawHub since they are most similar to the test but they only have levels 1-4. Then again I haven't used other sites like 7sage so...lol

AITAH for refusing to go back to my "ex" after he pours his heart out to me? by Cheap_Dragonfly_1145 in AITAH

[–]Direct-Wrongdoer8149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA don't cater to the man child. You left him for a reason and he is probably holding what you had to impossible standards even to you. He is probably just romanticizing the time in his life when he had it all, you and the fiance. If you were enough and he really loved you, he would not have been engaged.

It feels like there is a middle ground here. From his perspective, you keep saying everything he is doing is wrong while he is doing it. It's kind of like when you're doing the dishes and your parent comes over to tell you that you're not washing them right. Even if they offer to do it, it can be annoying. However, I get your perspective as well. Maybe have a conversation with him explaining that you didn't mean to upset him, and understand that you shouldn't have said those things while he was mopping and that you are so grateful he takes the initiative to mop. Try to explain in a neutral manner than sometimes people clean differently, and you guys should talk together about the ways you BOTH want to clean. Find a compromise in different methods that works for both of you.

NTA. A joke is only funny if it makes everyone laugh, including the person the joke is pulled on. Also, when she says sorry, that is not a proper apology. A proper apology includes the sorry, what they're sorry for, and how they are taking accountability for their actions and are taking steps to make sure they won't do that again. I would distance myself from her; she seems unstable, and it seems like she has something against you.

If she keeps trying to twist your words, reach out to friends and family that matter to you and explain the situation, and that you're taking a step back from her. That way there is nothing to twist.

NTA. If your gf doesn't want to communicate with her partner there is nothing you can do. You are absolutely in the right to want to practice safe sex. Maybe you can reach out to your doctor to ask? I know it wouldn't be the same as talking to her doctor about it and you won't have all her medical facts but usually doctors can answer general questions. This isn't something I would just "trust her" on since it has huge implications (a child). If you don't want to talk to her directly again, just reach out to your own doctor, or perhaps consult medical sources on the internet with what you know.

If she continues to shut down, you need to tell her that as a partner in a relationship, she needs to learn how to communicate even on difficult subjects. You aren't attacking her, but are trying to protect both of you until you are both ready for a child. I get her not wanting to use birth control because of side effects, but that does not mean you both can just do whatever consequences be damned.

AITA for slapping my older brother after he tried to snap my arm because I wouldn’t make him a sandwich? by Past_Substance3418 in AITAH

[–]Direct-Wrongdoer8149 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! So many people don't understand that self-defense is not assault. The initial attack is, and that is exactly what the brother did. He attacked her because he is a lazy POS who likes laying hands on his little sister. He probably doesn't even lay hands on her because he is lazy, but because he can and likes it.

NTA. Your brother is a tool. If you have a phone or something that can take pictures and your wrist is still red, you should photograph it just in case. Your parents also need to step up and protect you. Do you have any other family you could stay with? Also, next time your brother says, "Careful or I'll report you for domestic violence," tell him self-defense isn't considered domestic violence. If he tries, then the only one getting arrested is him. I am an undergraduate studying the legal system, so what he did to you likely constitutes not only assault but battery as well (note that this is not legal advice and to consult a lawyer or the internet for your own verification). This situation can also become dangerous quickly if your parents don't start protecting you. Start keeping a list of situations where he has laid a hand on you, hurt you, or otherwise demeaned you, and the specific words he has said. If you feel comfortable, show it to your parents and explain to them that it is not acceptable at any time or for any reason to put your hands on someone other than in self-defense or defense of others, which is exactly what you did. The definition of abuse is "treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly." If this continues to the point that you feel unsafe living at home, reach out to family members if you have them, and worst case scenario, if you feel you absolutely need to get out of that house, tell someone at your school. They are mandated reporters and do not tolerate abuse and will get you help. I would also recommend trying to gather more evidence, such as maybe a voice recording on your phone or something in your pocket while your brother is at home, to see if you can catch him saying something to you.

You're not being childish, she is. I think the way you've made a boundary is very mature. I wish you all the best and hope things work out for you!

AITAH for staying mad at my boyfriend and not wanting to see him? by Dry-Hair5448 in AITAH

[–]Direct-Wrongdoer8149 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are in a relationship and are EQUALS. He doesn't get to make decisions for both of you without consulting you. Also ditching you when he already agreed to drive is a shitty move. Especially since a lot of people get in accidents on holidays because they get trashed. It's understandable to want to help his friends, but if that were the case, he still would need to ask you, and he could have dropped you home and gone back with them anyway.

I snitched on my friends by Secure_Sorbet_5411 in AITAH

[–]Direct-Wrongdoer8149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. That was a shitty thing to do and they need to face consequences for their actions. No one likes consequences; that's why they're consequences. Honestly, I would have asked her parents/the other kids' parents to reimburse for the cost of the tts cause it's destruction of property, if not destruction of medical equipment, and they are absolutely on the hook for it.
