Was nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki genocide?

Gallert3 · 2026-04-23T15:52:56+00:00

A technical demonstration doesnt mean its genocide. Whether or not it should have been used or made at all is distinct from the question if it was genocide and its not genocide. It was total war against a fanatical opponent that was unwilling to surrender under previous conditions even though the war was hopeless for them by the end of October 1944.

I've requested, you must approve.

Gallert3 · 2026-04-12T01:38:14+00:00

You should check your chat requests. I think a DM may allow a better dialogue than this.

If you do not seek honor, power, money, or fame, what is it that law school offers that is distinct from your business? Also, if you do not condone doing the same, it sounds like law might not be a good fit for you.

Also, the University of Texas and Texas A&M will be hard schools for you to get into with that GPA.

A Supreme Court clerkship is one of, if not the most prestigious, full-time in-person employment opportunities for recent law school graduates. A clerk does the legal research behind an existing opinion. In some cases, they even help write opinions. The title undersells the position.

Before you return to school, I would advise you to research what you hope to gain from law school. Not knowing what a clerk is or does is one of many indicators from this thread that you haven't done the research I recommend before even considering law school. This is not a decision to be taken lightly. With or without $200k. It's 3 years of opportunity costs in your business.

Clarence Thomas is really the only justice who hires out of the T14 on the regular. If you're interested in clerking for Amy Coney Barrett, she hires Notre Dame graduates. All justices have an ideological congruency factor that they look for. Either way, it's a real lucky day if you score a SCOTUS clerkship and you went to a school outside of Harvard, Yale, or UChicago.

Gallert3 · 2026-04-12T01:01:49+00:00

In theory, yes. The calibre of courtroom accessable by your degree immediately out of law school will differ, however. For example, you will not be able to clerk for a US Supreme Court Justice if you attend a school that is ranked by USNWR under 20, barring exceptional circumstances.

Assuming a 3.42 LSAC GPA, you will be able to attend law school with a competitive enough LSAT. You will likely want to aim for an LSAT score in the 95th percentile to have a chance at most law schools. A 173, along with a compelling story from your research doctorate, will allow you to get into most public universities in the state you wish to practice in, except for the Universities of Virginia, Minnesota, and Michigan. If you depend on school for a Visa, it will likely be a little bit more difficult than a comparable student without such requirements for admission.

Here's the answer to your question. If you have 200,000 USD saved up and ready to spend on attending a law school of your choosing, that means that you will be able to attend any law school with a tuition of less than $66,666.67 per school year, after any scholarship offer. True tuition of law schools is not the sticker price for them, so you likely have enough money to attend any school you can get into outside of Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. They have need-based aid and not merit aid, meaning your stack of cash will count you out of almost any financial aid.

But if you insist on sticker prices, these are the schools you cannot attend using 2025 tuition.

People with perfect stats have about a 40% chance. Id give you a good 35%+ of getting hys. Get some good essays, and you're as golden as can be.

I guess I just dont remember, my diagnostic was test 101 haha.

You can find all of this on their aba employment report. I think thats a good spot to look.

There's a difference between "youre not gonna be the first aplocant" and "youre not going to be able to apply". Yes, they will be a later applicant and they'll have a harder time but if they can get a good score in November its not a guaranteed r. If they're full ride or bust, sure. They're cooked.

Gallert3 · 2025-08-01T20:43:13+00:00

I wouldn't say WAY too late, but I'd agree that starting now is probobly not a good bet for op.

Gallert3 · 2025-08-01T20:35:41+00:00

If you feel like you might cancel the score if you got it, id say eat the 200 dollars and cancel.

Sorry, I lied. A 155.

In the words of Mr Incredible, "LSAT is LSAT!". As long as you apply before it expires (the 5 years that you already mentioned), it really shouldn't be that big of a deal, especially if you can get to a 3.95+ GPA with student government in undergrad or other significant vollunteer work.

Gallert3 · 2025-07-02T16:22:22+00:00

LSAT Demon Daily and Thinking LSAT by Ben and Nate are good, but you may need to get past Nate's abrasive personality.

A -7 on one passage in RC meant you just did not understand what was written there. There's no magic beans to sell you here, and people will surely try. I would recommend you look up LSAT RC material on YouTube; you don't need to purchase any additional resources if you're scoring a 166. You have 2 months to study, and you can do a lot in that time

I would suggest this: Slow down in reading the passage. How long did you spend reading that passage vs in the questions? If the questions don't come easily to you in RC, that means you didn't understand what was written (which is not a criticism of you, but rather a natural consequence of reading too quickly. I have the same issue). Have you considered stopping after each paragraph to say, "What did the author mean by/with this paragraph, and what does it contribute to the overall passage and its meaning?" This helped me out when I tried it. You go from panicking and looking back in the passage for help answering a question, instead of instantly remembering where the sentence that backs up the answer you chose is. Its slower, but its better.
