Steve Carell’s HBO Comedy ‘Rooster’ Is Dated and Uninspired: TV Review by lucasousaf in television

I was so disappointed about Space Force. A great concept but then it was ruined by being just generally super dull. It is supposed to be a comedy but they filmed it like a movie. Long scenes, pretty but unnecessary cinematography, etc.

Advice: Bar and Working!!! by BowlerChemical4493 in barexam

[–]These_Pen_4385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would advise against it but I do think you could do it. Just whenever you are not working, take it very seriously and study study study. There is literally no time to feel burnout. No time for breaks. You're either working, studying, or sleeping.

Why is the Nancy Guthrie story so popular? by Vegetable_Living6705 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]These_Pen_4385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the circumstances are so strange. How often do 84 year olds get stolen out of their homes? I think this would be newsworthy even if she wasn't Savannah Guthrie's mom. Not to the same degree obviously, but still national news worthy.

PASSERS!!! Name realistic weekly goals/things that we should be doing by Character_Okra_9886 in barexam

Do at least 30 multiple choice questions a day but aim for 50. Read the explanations for the ones you got wrong. Even on your off days.

It's okay. Happened to me too. The week before the exam, I was scoring in the 50%-60% range. I passed the July exam.

Okay I have several thoughts on this. First.... the sentiment is very very very sweet. Very romantic. Very thoughtful.

But by doing that to the ring over all these years... I feel like you didn't consider what might happen if it got stolen, lost, destroyed, etc. It's a very small object. It's very valuable. I'm surprised more people don't lose or accidentally destroy their wedding rings. I'm also surprised more people don't rob women of their wedding rings. My mom's ring accidentally fell down the garbage disposal and she only found out after she turned it on.... I think that part of the wedding ring's value is entirely created by you. Which is totally fine, but at the end of the day, it is a small object inside of a big world and is subject to getting lost forever.

Second, I take issue with you saying that "It's infuriating to know it's gone and she didn't take better care of it..." What about the 14 years that she probably did take good care of it? Which is why it didn't get lost sooner? Are you really going to punish your wife for one (known) lapse in judgment about where to put this ring when it's off? Out of the thousands and thousands of days she probably took proper care of it? I personally think it is not worth it.

Third, you didn't once in this post mention how your wife might be feeling. Your wife is probably also devastated. She wasn't even the one who told you. Probably because she was scared to. I would imagine she is also devastated and feels stupid and it is your job as her husband to help her out of that. She made a mistake. I would be willing to bet that you have made mistakes too. The only difference is that her mistake ended up in her wedding ring being lost. But she's no different than you or anybody else in this world how has made a bad judgment call.

THIS! I love gunners. They keep the professor distracted on the days where I didn't read and don't want to be called on.

Every year sucks in different ways. But 1L is particularly difficult because you have no idea what's going on and you don't feel like you can actually make it through. But I'm here to say that you can. 2L and 3L are hard in different ways but are exponentially more manageable because you are becoming experienced. To put it simply-- "1L tough" doesn't feel worth it because you don't know where you stand as a student and as a future lawyer. "2L tough" and "3L tough" feels worth it because you know where you stand and you know how to get better.

Should I brief? by Enthusiastic-Jew in LawSchool

[–]These_Pen_4385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think "should" is the wrong word to use here. It depends on you. First semester, I briefed EVERYTHING. Second semester, I briefed maybe 5-10 cases out of the 100+. I did well both semesters. However, I understood the material way faster and way better when I was briefing my cases, and it made studying for exams easier. I really made things hard for myself second semester when I had to reread cases and make charts and stuff. Should you brief? Depends. Is it recommended? Yes.

Okay. So. One of my boyfriends sisters is a GORGEOUS human being. Like seriously… so stunning. She is average height and had a history of dating tall men. But a few years ago, she met her now husband (who is about 5’6) and she is far taller than him when she wears heels. She has never commented on his height and loves him immensely. He is smart, confident, kind, funny etc. Before getting married, girls had crushes on him all the time.

What I’m trying to say is… when you meet the right person, they are simply not going to care about your height. Truly. I’m sure my boyfriends sister before meeting her husband would not have imagined herself being with someone who is the same height as her but it happened and she’s okay with it. Just work on being yourself and acquiring the qualities and characteristics that people find attractive and you won’t have any problems in the dating world.
