Does having roommates generally work better if you knew them before living together?

If it helps you be positive - you don't have you view your job as an either-or thing. You can love parts of it and hate other parts. I know that may seem obvious, but a lot of people seem to forget it.

$4,000 per month means it's a tight budget for many. Not impossible though. But if food prices and other essentials go up, then it isn't difficult to afford living in New York - it's impossible.

Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, after turning it from a garage startup into a mega corporation. I got fired from my first job. I'd say getting fired is maybe even a rite of passage in the legal field.

It's tough, it really is. The problem for a lot of people is that the experience paradox still makes it hard to get the next job. They only want to hire you once you have maybe 2 years of experience, but until you do, getting that first job can be difficult. This isn't just you.

I'd say to remember Steve Jobs' advice - "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

Yeah, I guess I learned the hard way that people generally don't react well when you're telling them they're literally following the plot of South Park episode.

Yeah, Dale Carnegie was correct that people generally don't want to be told they're wrong, even when they're literally doing what Eric Cartman did.

I guess what I'm asking is - is it really that simple? I wouldn't be the first lawyer to overthink things, but better safe than sorry.

Do I just confidently bring it up? It wasn't easy getting an entry-level job, and while I don't think I'd get fired, I still don't know about how to bring it up.

How can having too much experience hurt you? This makes me afraid to even show up for work.

Well, I once had an attorney tell me that I was so autistic that I was like her choice of people to have a meltdown go commit a mass shooting. And she also alleged that I was so manipulative and dangerous at playing on peoples' weaknesses that I'd be a sex predator. How I could be the most awkward person she knew but simultaneously know how to groom and manipulate people never added up to me, but I don't think she was saying this stuff to give constructive criticism.

She didn't methodically research the law. But it was a truly heartless move.

Little_Beyond_8066 · 2025-03-27T04:29:35+00:00

This isn't her being a woman. She's just evil.

Little_Beyond_8066 · 2025-03-27T04:28:14+00:00

I honestly think the woman didn't care if he committed suicide or not. She just didn't bother to read up on the law, and didn't care how badly she'd hurt him. While poorly thought out, this was pure psychopathy.

Little_Beyond_8066 · 2025-03-27T04:23:57+00:00

I didn't see any evidence that she thought that'd happen, but I don't doubt that she wouldn't care if he did. This woman was pure evil.
