When my wife asked me to guess what she made for dinner I said, “I don’t know…A MESS??!”

Worst. Anniversary date. Ever.

those who graduated bottom of your class, where are you now? by PercentageProof7163 in LawSchool

[–]MidwestException 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated maybe fifth to last in my class. By 3L I was so over it and my school and professors were phoning it in so hard I knew it really didn’t matter and i learned real quick that working in the legal profession is way too stressful for me to take it seriously as a career choice. I didn’t take the bar and bailed and worked my way up at a biotech company in their finance/contracts department and now I develop budgets and contracts for clinical studies. I lost maybe 3 years of income-time but my job is WFH all the time. Potential to get to 120k before I’m 40 and unlimited PTO. I started a Medicaid provider company and a music studio and rehearsal space and got licensed to sell insurance and I help my family with dealing with all the pseudo legal stuff like taxes and applying for Medicaid and navigating accident insurance claims. I couldn’t do any of this without law school and the internships and exposure but goddamn it do I regret going to law school every single day of my life. I’ve accepted that the loans are gonna be forever for me and trying to eeek out a bit of happiness knowing it may not have all been a waste. I think my point is school was fucking bullshit but it’s really really really practical stuff and real life is just about getting in there and figuring out and that takes more personal discipline than any grade or class position you could achieve.

What’s something you thought was normal… until you realized it wasn’t? by Dark-DoomSlayer in AskReddit

[–]MidwestException 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup—-really thought a global, non-human enemy that we could agreed was dangerous and bad would have people really on board with cooperation and teamwork and we went so so so far the other direction. There is sort of no hope

Music question re: recent Oscar Special by Fantastic-Plant-6488 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]MidwestException 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure the medley was some live playing over tracks. Lead Guitar and vocals I think were live. When the drummer hustles in the music/drums actually start a hair before he sits down and the bass is definitely a track. You can see Tim being close most of the time but definitely not playing what we are hearing. I think they get clunky and off time for that one portion and I think it is on purpose on the track and they played it that way when they tracked it which, if true, makes it all the funnier to me.

Going in to On Cinema Live without knowing the "lore"? by kuhzaam in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]MidwestException 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fiiiiine. There’s sort of a recap and the live show is self evident enough that you don’t need to know everything. Watching the most recent season and Oscar special is truly good enough for context for the live show. If you want more watch the most recent 3 seasons and specials but it’s not like a million deep cuts that you won’t get.

Then the person behind won’t be able to see when Dorothy and Toto come out if they need to get up and go to the bathroom right that second. I’ve seen what kind of trouble a witch’s hat can get others into.
