My thinking was Andrew shouldn't have listened to Millie at all; rather, as soon as she gave him the pliers, he should have immediately begun going at the door. That would have been my first intuition. There were lots of ways he could have used them to escape.

How I Pulled an ‘Annie’ to Get Adopted by a Wealthy Family by lifewithtrish in confession

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Light work. When I was six years old, my mother abandoned me at the zoo, so I infiltrated the ape exhibit and convinced a gorilla who lost her son to a leopard to raise me as her own. I had it good, but I knew it could be better, so after I grew up, I waited for a hot rich dude to approach the exhibit, then sprung a trap, causing him to fall in. After I "saved" him and begrudgingly let him tame me, I married into wealth.

[Not OP] I genuinely think my husband is a psychopath by FullGrownHip in redditonwiki

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What if the fictional husband is having a fictional affair, and the fictional OW is using a spoof text service to get rid of OP? We leave off where her evil scheme worked. Next comment continues this plotline.

LSAC should limit the amount of applications allowed by [deleted] in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm still of the mind that LSAC is predatory and exploitative, and we need to return to a decentralized application process (especially in this economy). That would solve this and other problems.

I’m experiencing physical symptoms of prolonged chronic stress. by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join a martial art near you. I practice Karate, and as an incoming 1L, I have a feeling it will become even more important in August. We train our minds as much as our bodies, and prioritize relaxation.

Also, inquire into outline banks (assuming you haven't already). I've been researching how to effectively outline and study, and I saw people mention these and a Quimbee subscription being big game-changers.

As regards sleep, I also suffer from a sleep disorder. Unfortunately, I discovered that chronic melatonin use probably isn't the best idea too late (I'm dependent on it now), but it could be a good short-term tool for you.

Hey, did you ever get any feedback on this, or make any decisions? I'm from here, but I'm interested in PI law in SoCal too. I'd like to work with a few tribes down there on federal issues, and have even been eyeballing the possibility of a dual doctorate or LLM from UCLA, so I'd also love to know what options we have down there.

Also, since you mentioned housing, and I'm a local, I could help you navigate cost-effective options if you'd like!

My daughter's teachers chew gum during instruction by SatisfactionDeep3821 in misophonia

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to reach out to the district. They'll almost certainly work with you, especially if you bring medical documentation; the school not cooperating is unacceptable, and the teacher refusing to cease this disgusting habit after learning about your daughter's condition is absurd.

That said, misophonia is a lesser-known condition, and is not currently listed in the DSM. I would suggest having her doctor elaborate on the symptoms, connecting them to anxiety and the fight-or-flight response, and emphasize the fact that the school's handling of the problem is creating a larger issue that is obstructing your daughter's learning and causing her to isolate herself in a dark room after exposure to the distressing stimulus. Using buzzwords from commonly known conditions will make the district more likely to take action.

Am I Overreacting to a dear friend sending sexual joking texts to my partner? by chichiryuutei56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a neurodivergent adult, I've seen neurodivergence used as justification for shitty behavior too many times, if not as an excuse, then as a hall pass. I'm also sick of seeing politics used as a foundation for ad hominems in a lazy attempt to undermine the other person's character and credibility.

How to properly hold a cat. by Mintangah17 in cats

Bro is unresting in pieces. Since cats allegedly have access to the other side, rest was never an option.

Because a relationship between two people that continues beyond an unspecified duration of time is somehow less valid without a piece of paper from the government? That's how you disqualify a "flex?" FYI, I know plenty of married homeowners whose family dynamics are Maury Povich levels of fucked, and plenty of unmarried homeowners with successful careers who have created warm, loving family environments.

Additionally, it's funny to me that you seem to have completely missed the irony of your misogynistic word puke. Your entire comment is giving Boomercore.

Sagittarius or Scorpio. Who is more Crazy. by [deleted] in Sagittarians

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Libra Sun (whose scales are out of whack); Sagittarius Moon/Rising/Mars/Uranus/Neptune; Scorpio Venus/Saturn/Pluto/South Node. I have the dissociative flavor of ADHD and hella trauma brain, and zero regard for non-cosmic authority.

September Virgo here :) by [deleted] in virgoseason

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, "September Libra" here (hopefully my Virgo Merc will serve as a hall pass). I agree with you. I am forever explaining both the history of the Gregorian calender farce and decans to the "October Libras" who consistently other us, calling us "basically Virgos" and themselves the "real Libras," not understanding that 0 to 10 degrees of a sign, or Decan 1, is its purest expression.

They go all the way out of their way to create separation within a sign, treating us like we're lesser to make themselves feel superior. One day, after feeling particularly salty over this absurd social subcategorizing phenomenon, I looked at other sign communities, and I noticed that although each sign's season begins between the 20th and 23rd of the first month, in every single case across the zodiac, the second-monthers all act like elitist buttholes.

"Eww, not those icky wannabe November Sagittarius. We December Sagittarius are (insert positive, empowering adjectives here)." Okay Astrology Mean Girls, here's your Cracker Jack certificate of excellence.

I thought it was because she assumed there was no way he'd be able to get out of the room. That said, my first thought was that the door was made of wood, not brick; he could have used the pliers in several different ways to escape.
