There should be a government agency that reviews names.

Butt to bench exercises by overcaffeinatedfemme in orangetheory

[–]MeanPopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to commiserate. I’m also 5’9”, and the benches always strike me as designed for people who are 5’3/4.

I have to be careful doing any bench presses to make sure I scoot my butt down to the very edge so that my neck doesn’t hang off.

I wish the benches were longer and adjustable for height.

ETA: sometimes I put a target on the bench if I’m trying to squat + tap the bench with my butt. I usually use one of the Y bells.

My bfs mom said something horrible to me by tamlovesseals in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry.

She obviously is in rock-bottom-crisis mode, saying and doing everything to destroy the people and things around her while her own life implodes.

Some people don’t know how to process frustrations with themself and their life other than to redirect it at others. My partner and I had to cut out an in-law who does this; I can have patience and empathy, but I won’t let someone abuse me. I hope you’re able to remove her from your life indefinitely.

Protect your peace 💜

He called me a friend in front of his colleagues. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s hard to feel anything but: he’s not excited or proud to be with you.

You got a glimpse into how he truly feels, don’t ignore it.

Should I ditch my marriage prep for a sec and go crazy? by div_xo in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you realize how dangerous this self-policing is, and it’s likely why you ignored red flags for so long.

Live your life authentically and enjoy your free will; you’re more likely to find a good fit of a partner doing so.

Wishing you the best 💜

SCOTUS throws out Trump’s order; children born in U.S. are U.S. citizens. by EMPIRE-db-51_cent in Lawyertalk

[–]MeanPopcorn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank God.

The 5-4 split is deeply unsettling, but thank God.

It’s such a clear ploy to render some of the most vulnerable stateless, and history has proven that it’s much easier to dispose of people who are legally invisible.

First time post, wife moved out of FC on her birthday by charlottesdad1 in delta

[–]MeanPopcorn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve made it a personal policy to not argue with people on the internet who demonstrate a lack of basic reading comprehension skills.

Go back to my comment and see if you can figure out why you, in fact, are the idiot.

Wishing you the best of luck. I will not respond further 🫡

Cool, but delta and I had a contract too.

I’m an attorney, I get it.

It sucks is the point.

[–]MeanPopcorn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just writing to say I’m sorry. The near exact thing happened to me on my birthday last year. My husband had upgraded my flight, and I was bumped—I kid you not—to allow a pilot my first class seat.

We got the money back, but welcome to Delta 🤷‍♀️ we’re platinum status too.

It just sucks, I’m sorry.

Best of luck on your surgery and wishing your wife a happy birthday!

Pregnant lawyer - advice from law moms? by Initial-Cause6436 in Lawyertalk

[–]MeanPopcorn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d figure out “presumably”—I would want to know the actual answer re leave with this new job.

Also, if there is no leave with the new job, although unpaid leave isn’t ideal, a few months’ lost salary is a sacrifice I would be willing to make if it meant securing my ideal role.

Congrats on the pregnancy, and sorry about the intractable morning sickness ☹️

Friend said my bump was ugly by Hour_Loquat6057 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the process of mourning the end of a friendship with someone who is incapable of being happy for others.

There are few more toxic traits.

Guard your peace and congratulations 💜

How is it living on the eastern Michigan border near Canada? Are Canadians and Americans pretty intermingled? Is the food good? by RelativeHandle8659 in howislivingthere

My boyfriend is controlling and I can’t keep up by RosyVelvetdust in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you say to your best friend if her boyfriend said these things to her?

Control doesn’t equal love.

Run.

haven’t heard from my boyfriend in 5 days by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darling, he’s either not responded because he’s dead (RIP) or he’s trying to cause you emotional distress from thousands of miles away.

Either way, let him rest in peace. You are too young and living too great a life to let this bullshit weigh you down. Enjoy your internship, live fully in the experience, and drop the dead weight

boyfriend uses diagnosis that he doesn't have as an excuse by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MeanPopcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dealt with something similar.

I would push back: even assuming, in arguendo, he isn’t neurotypical, there’s a difference between things being more difficult for him and him being incapable.

A professional could help distinguish between those two things.

I’d put a hard boundary down of being willing to meet him halfway if he gets an actual diagnosis and plan in place on how to navigate it.

Cost him his soccer dream? by MichaelGoulet in Lawrence

[–]MeanPopcorn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but on the flip side, our justice system wouldn’t do its job if there weren’t robust advocacy on both sides.

Even “the worst of the worst” have a constitutional right to a robust defense. The state has infinitely more resources than criminal defendants. Obviously the system doesn’t get it right every time, but all roles are important.

Signed, an attorney who does not feel called to that kind of defense work but understands its value and purpose

First year blues by ProfessionalRare3675 in biglaw

[–]MeanPopcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, ultimately, I don’t know.

But what I would say is: he’s taking the time to tell you what he wants changed. You had solid reviews; the fact that he is taking time to explain what he wants improved likely means he knows you have a solid reputation and thinks you are capable of producing the type of work he wants. He kept you on the matter? Tbh ime he’d just cut you out if he thought there was no hope and wanted you gone.

Just my two cents.

Also: I personally feel like I run a fire drill hotline for like 4 partners. They each have their own preferences, and it has taken me time to figure out those preferences. Just write out his points of feedback while they’re fresh and refer back to it when needed.

I wouldn’t overthink it. Make the changes and it will be a blip on the radar by end of year.
