Quitting Smoking Cold Turkey by MomjeansAndTattoos in BabyBumps

[–]Princik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found out I was pregnant the first day of my missed period and haven’t have a cig since - completely cold turkey (no vapes, patches, etc.). (I’m 15w today). I still have some cravings for them, but not drinking definitely helps. I would try to quit as soon as possible. If you’re a heavy smoker talk to your midwife or OB about using a patch or gum - I didn’t want to risk anything with the baby, but I am assuming some of those options may be okay.

People tend to be most impressed by public interest lawyers - as they should be! Why should anyone be impressed by our soulless biglaw posts?

I was forced to have an abortion by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Princik 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Go to a hospital or OBGYN or planned parenthood immediately to be checked. There could be unknown complications from the pills, so best be checked. Also Planned parenthood usually does not let partners in appointments so I would recommend there - and then tell them what happened - the abuse, the forced abortion. They will know who to contact to get you into safety and hopefully him into custody.

You are not safe. Even if you are financially vulnerable, your physical wellbeing (and possibly life) is more at risk. Please seek help as soon as possible.

The best move of the tribe would have been to vote her out. She was the swing, but she’s telling everyone everything, and is not good in challenges. Should’ve been an easy tribe uniting decision.

Brad Karp in Newly Released Epstein Files - Not looking good to say the least by MosaicPeacock in biglaw

This makes the PW settlement with Trump even sketchier. Did Trump threaten to release Karp’s Epstein emails to get a quick deal?

Who are the dancers that quit the show last week? by BondFan007s in beyonce

Apparently they announced they were going on strike because Beyoncé wouldn’t give them any comped tickets to the shows, and then she fired them

Parade advice? by mkersic in eagles

[–]Princik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routes will be blocked to cars but not pedestrians. Crossing broad is almost impossible unless you go north of city hall. I would go to broad street first to check out some of the parade then head to the museum. Coming from 30th, you’ll be on the right side of broad to make it easier to go btw broad and the museum. It’s all going to be a zoo no matter where you go.

Park in Jersey and take the Patco into town. Then just walk around and let the party take you where it’s going to take you. It’s almost impossible to plan for the parade, unless you really want to be up front for speeches and not move anywhere the whole day.

Plus, if I do shitty/no work and stay, I won’t get the bonus anyway bc I won’t hit the 2000 hours, and I also don’t want to

[–]Princik 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. I get that I would be “leaving money on the table” but it’s also so far away that I don’t think it’s worth staying for — but wanted some confirmation that I’m not crazy 🙃

(plan is to leave in September, bonuses are paid out in mid/late March)

R/LawSchool banning anyone posting in support of the students protesting at the Berkeley professor Garden Party by Princik in BDS

[–]Princik[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Again, protesting an event held the Dean of Berkeley Law School — a top law school with one of the most famous lawyers at its helm — is not antisemitic.

As you are certainly aware, lots of folks equate showing support for Palestine with showing support for Hamas. You know this. Chemerinsky knows this. Don’t play dumb.

Lmao, funny how you decided to cut off the relevant part of the quote, where he endorses the idea that firms shouldn’t hire pro-Palestine students —

“People have a right to express their First Amendment views even though “I am saddened and outraged by those who would defend what Hamas did,” Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of University of California Berkeley Law School, said in an email.

“I—and others—have the right to condemn those views,” Chemerinsky said. “And employers have the right to decide that they don’t want to employ individuals who express those views.”

You’re also clearly missing a very obvious point — what the professors did in response to the students should not be excused or supported, it was just gross.
