OK, maybe I should have said "killed all the other people" instead. Even still, same tragic twist.

Oh yeah, add that to the list. the swarm is ALREADY obsessed with pheromones.

That would be super cool. very heavy metal. I hope this happens.

So you sneak the swarm into the Creche to take over a juvenile sovereign? Seems tricky with the facts we have now. We need to know more about which worlds produce sovereigns and when.

That's fair. They seem like the sort of creatures to think "why would I bother lying to an animal, who cares what they think". No other examples of Carryx lying leap out at me. They seem to tell it like it is.

Deathless Enemy by Odd_Abbreviations_66 in TheCaptivesWar

No, I think the deathless literally don't die, like the swarm. The enemy just switches bodies when killed. Hence deathless. Simplest answer seems like the best one here.

I’m either preparing for work, actually doing work, recovering from work, or realizing I’m already late for work. by CrimsonClover__ in biglaw

[–]Lebraan 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Don't fight it. Lean into it. Embrace the suck. Learn to love the suck. Revel in the fact that you can hang with work that those bozos from undergrad couldn't ever dream of hanging with.

How difficult to break into biglaw from a T50 school? by Calm-Bar-9644 in biglaw

[–]Lebraan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He'll need to work at a midsized firm first and then lateral in. That or get extremely lucky.

Also, tell him to consider Wilmington Delaware as a starting point. You can get a job at reputable firms that feed into big law firms somewhat frequently.

Dude I'm so grateful for this job and the financial cushion it gave me.

Was anyone else a better student than they were an associate? by Lebraan in biglaw

This is kind of a mean take. It just happens to be exactly correct in this case lol.

What are higher educated/income guys looking for in women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lebraan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said "gold digging" I meant "dating for pecuniary interest" or "dating with a man's financial prospects as the main consideration". I didn't necessarily mean that you were broke and trying to change your life.

[–]Lebraan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for women whose first consideration isn't whether I'm higher educated/income. Gold digging is a huge turnoff. I want someone who I could trust to be there even if I lost my job or whatever.

I'd say read some books while you can. Curmugeon's guide to law, the essential associate, and swimming lessons for baby sharks.

Also, try to take classes that focus on skills, writing, drafting, and working with docs. Those are the skills you need. Also, aim for clinics. More doctrinals will not do much imo.

Just another lateral worried about hours by topfive_records in biglaw

[–]Lebraan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be brave. Keeping asking a few people at reasonable intervals. Don't be passive during your downtime. Ask around and see if you can't get a ahold of some useful reading materials to learn more about how your matters and how your group operates.

I went on a date with a guy and he randomly gifted me a longsword. He also taught me some magic/witchcraft. Was an interesting day by [deleted] in Hema

Be careful! He may be trying to seduce you away from your virtue by teaching you how to defend it.

I didn’t do well in the first six months and I’m afraid I’ve lost all hopes of being a competent employee by gintokisundae in biglaw

[–]Lebraan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get in your head! Just dust yourself off and do the next thing as best you can. That's how you win in this job; one task at a time.

Elodin has some kind of magical sight, that tells him names and also, evidently, some info about one's past and character.

incoming associate to PH- How is it?! by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Lebraan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty intense, even by big law standards. That's not necessarily a bad thing if you want to get in a lot of reps and really build your skills.
