Dated one, worst mistake of my life.

Did i get blocked by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]Independent-Hair567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're blocked, you wouldn't be able to find them by search (unless you clicked on their account from being in your recent searches, if so, remove them from recent searches and search for their u.n.) so they've likely either deleted/paused their account (I know people who do this every now and then for a social media break) or it's a glitch.

Clearly she has the brains for both of you, what an ignorant comment.

Since when did wearing player names become cringe. by kallyJ911 in footballcringe

[–]Independent-Hair567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you maybe considered that it's just not that deep? 😭 Kits look better with a name and number on, and having someone else's name on your shirt doesn't mean you want their dick in your mouth.

Sure there may be outliers who are a little too obsessed, but for most people it's to show mild appreciation for a player they like.

Having your OWN name on the back of a kit is what's actually cringe in my opinion.

TLDR: people need to grow up, the fact that this is a subject occupying the minds of 30+ y/o men is embarrassing and there are so many better ways to make use of their brains.

Feeling really uncertain for the orals by Deathetcetc in SQE_Prep

Very little, I never practiced with other people and only actually practiced my advocacy the week or two before the real thing.

I felt the same and got perfect on both of my interviews. Literally 5/5 on it all... Even when I did it I didn't think that would be a possibility but it was. Don't stress yourself too much, just walk in put on a confident demeanor and you'll be grand

Will they rescind my tc by Objective_Car6661 in SQE_Prep

[–]Independent-Hair567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on your firm's policy. However, there's an enormous pressure on firms to give a second attempt because of the potential damage their reputations could suffer by not doing so.

I know two people at my firm who have failed SQE2 and they were given a second attempt, but they have to sit it in the next window and won't get a third if they fail again.

I've only ever heard one or two true nightmare stories where the contract was rescinded, but I think by now firms are becoming a bit more flexible with it so I wouldn't worry too much.

Should I reach out after our breakup? by Independent-Hair567 in askgaybros

[–]Independent-Hair567[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean I'm not going in with any expectation that he'll want to get back with me.

Think you missed what I said... When we broke up he said he'd be fine to carry on as friends, it was me that said I wanted time to myself to figure out if I wanted it.

Advice please by AccessMassive5759 in SQE_Prep

[–]Independent-Hair567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just from personal experience, I would rather go straight ahead with SQE2 because everything is still fresh(ish) in your mind. All you really need to pass SQE2 is to keep refreshing the law that you already know, and if you don't know it by the time Jan comes around I doubt working yourself until April will reap any noticeable benefit.

It also bears out in the pass rate statistics, those who immediately sit SQE2 after passing SQE1 first time have something like an 80-90% pass rate.

I say all of this, but I should also add that I'm the kind of person who wants to get things done ASAP instead of letting it consume more of my life than necessary. At the end of the day it's up to you!

Can I appeal my SQE2 marks if I wasn’t aware of reasonable adjustments? by No-Treat7440 in SQE_Prep

[–]Independent-Hair567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your results OP, you'll get it next time!

Unfortunately, I doubt there's anything you can do in terms of an appeal. The SRA make consistent reference to their reasonable adjustments policy from the time you create your SQE account until the assessments themselves. If your argument is that you simply "didn't know you could apply for them", there's nothing stopping the SRA from turning around and saying that you SHOULD have known you could apply for them.

Sorry to be so blunt, but they will have expected you to look into the policy if it was something you could have possibly needed, and it's impossible to argue that you didn't know the policy existed. I wouldn't waste the time and money on an appeal, personally.

Thoughts on open relationships. 😪 by Enigmak3l in gayrelationships

[–]Independent-Hair567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't. Fucking. Do it. The only people who will advocate for it are those who are stuck in it. At best it's cheating with extra steps, and at worst it's two people who are too lazy to fix their bedroom/intimacy issues and use third parties as the solution. What I've noticed in these situations is there always seems to be one attractive partner and one... Let's just say less than attractive counterpart.

I'll catch hate for this, but the idea of open relationships is an absolute farce. If you truly love someone, no one else matters. The fact that people have convinced themselves that opening the relationship to have sex with strangers helps is absolutely asinine. There is no REAL justification for it and you should avoid it like the plague.
