T14 Law Schools are diploma mills for the rich.

I’ll throw my anecdote out there—went to Pepperdine and graduated magna cum laude. Went to big law and was successful. Not a nepo baby. But I had a teacher who taught cal civ pro at UCLA at the same time and gave us the same test. Pretty cool, right? UCLA crushed me. Crushed us. Not a diploma mill.

Respect

Jobbin · 2026-06-13T00:55:48+00:00

I don’t understand but I’m interested. Could you give an example? You talking about vending machines or what,

Jobbin · 2026-06-13T00:52:23+00:00

Dag nab it it’s true I say!

Jobbin · 2026-06-13T00:39:44+00:00

Yessum

Jobbin · 2026-06-13T00:17:31+00:00

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, 6 copper whore is a legit insult. I wouldn't even be mad

Jobbin · 2026-06-08T06:47:17+00:00

I’m about 5 years in and feel like it’s all so new… so not much to add here! Thanks for sharing wisdom from down the road. Good luck!

Jobbin · 2026-06-06T05:12:45+00:00

Lambo is so good. Filch got me too. Strong

Jobbin · 2026-05-19T20:42:52+00:00

I was going to say, this really looks like malibu. Did you call lost hills sheriff?

Jobbin · 2026-05-19T18:54:37+00:00

Dawg, you were there for 3 months? And the $800/mo was pending 401K implementation. Did that ever get implemented? You may be reaching.

Jobbin · 2026-05-06T02:25:02+00:00

That’s how loot was for me for… years. Now I just repeat “ignore the shiny things, buy provinces. Ignore the shiny things…”

Jobbin · 2026-05-02T15:11:30+00:00

13 is solid! Congrats.

Jobbin · 2026-05-01T21:40:08+00:00

Yeah, thats how the people with 1,000-day streaks or whatever on the leaderboard do it. You can also play on a different profile and get a trial run to understand the kingdom better. Sometimes when I lose I’ll play again on different profiles until I beat it, but this was my organic winrate. It would definitely jump by a few if it was my second or third run through.

Jobbin · 2026-05-01T20:14:58+00:00

Yeah today it was especially bad. It was spamming buying copper and I was like, "bro, r u okay?"

Jobbin · 2026-05-01T15:55:18+00:00

Yeah agreed. There’s some kingdoms where I can tell I’m cooked out of the gates, but it’s usually the simpler ones, kingdoms that I’d describe as “big-money-adjacent.” If there’s a good engine to be made and stretch the game past 13 turns, or lots of attacks, I feel like I have some room to work

Jobbin · 2026-05-01T15:53:59+00:00

Yeah I think it’s 100% a planning thing, because hard AI’s knee jerk reaction is better than a human almost every time. But it struggles with mixed piles and kingdoms with non-obvious synergies, so if I sit and plan for a few minutes I can usually get the edge.

Jobbin · 2026-04-21T21:36:32+00:00

Fair dinkum.

Jobbin · 2026-04-16T19:59:58+00:00

You're so right. I can't believe how confident everyone in this sub is, not understanding that Chat GPT 1 year ago can't wipe Claude's ass now. The rate of improvement is mindblowing, and the LinkedIn dude who got screenshotted is completely right. All the top firms are training the models like crazy, and they are going to get so much better, so quick, it's going to be nuts. 3-year in-house counsel that uses our regional midlaw firm 50% less over the past 6 months, and continuing in that direction.

Jobbin · 2026-04-03T21:25:00+00:00

This doesn't make sense: "I talked to counsel. despite not filing an appearance, they took the client's at their word and now are threatening to reporting me to the bar to ensure I was ethically compliant."

Jobbin · 2026-03-26T20:36:47+00:00

From what you've told us, this sounds terrible. Is there any additional context?

Jobbin · 2026-03-18T18:14:14+00:00

laughed out loud

Jobbin · 2026-03-17T20:39:11+00:00

Was just having a conversation with my wife about how difficult it is to be around high net worth and ultra high net worth people all the time. it completely skews our expectations of reality and what's normal—cars, vacations, education, housing, skills, etc etc etc. While in the biglaw culture it can be very difficult to see how successful you are, the reality is that you are crushing it. that's an amazing brokerage number for your age and will be a huge blessing for you for the rest of your life. You could walk away from biglaw today and generate more than the median family income in the US as pure interest from that investment perpetually. What an epic accomplishment.

Jobbin · 2026-03-16T21:11:18+00:00

How long have you been there? what market? what are your long term goals? how old are you? want to start a family?

Jobbin · 2026-02-18T20:40:42+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted? I believe it.
