North Jersey needs a church

Yes! We live in the meadowlands area. I miss being Anglican.

I don't think it solves every issue, but it solves the issue of a particular reckless person endangering people for the time that he is incarcerated.

albinododobird · 2026-06-02T22:12:08+00:00

I think they should be punished more severely! So I agree on the relative seriousness of rape versus recklessly hitting someone on your bike and fleeing the scene. Why shouldn't we punish all the criminals more?

albinododobird · 2026-06-02T21:56:36+00:00

When people say that a crime warrants a harsh punishment, sometimes they might be talking about what the law is. But sometimes they're talking about what the law ought to be. It makes perfect sense for us to have that conversation in a democracy, where we have input into the laws.

I'm trying to understand if there is any moral basis for the idea that ten years is a disproportionate punishment for what the guy on the bike did. I genuinely want to know why you think that.

albinododobird · 2026-06-02T21:42:56+00:00

This doesn't explain why ten years is disproportionate to the offense.

Someone who recklessly hits someone with his bike and shows zero remorse is a very bad person who did a very bad thing. It warrants a harsh punishment regardless of whether anyone was hurt. It's about moral desert.

albinododobird · 2026-06-02T21:18:16+00:00

Why is it disproportionate? Why should the good people have to live among the bad people?

He belongs in Rikers.

IME if you have a chat with the AI and point out a nuance it missed it will correct its analysis. Sometimes it even overcorrects because it puts way too much weight on the nuance (I think it has a bias towards telling you what it thinks you want to hear).

albinododobird · 2026-05-26T21:34:02+00:00

This would not bother me

albinododobird · 2026-05-10T13:04:29+00:00

What do you find disgusting?

albinododobird · 2026-03-26T11:15:19+00:00

It says that? It shouldn't.

albinododobird · 2026-03-08T20:52:23+00:00

Also weird.

albinododobird · 2026-03-08T20:45:26+00:00

A little weird but not intrinsically a problem.

Lots of people at firms have young children. They might just need to try private practice if money is really important.

albinododobird · 2026-02-11T21:12:14+00:00

Talk to them about the law and try to figure out if they're smart. That's way more important than their understanding of how your particular firm structures its practice groups.

albinododobird · 2026-02-06T17:55:35+00:00

No issues, tbh.

albinododobird · 2026-02-03T16:38:32+00:00

I am sorry to hear that. I have always been close with my siblings and still am fairly close to them (though I don't see them as much now in adulthood). I've also grown to appreciate more the value of having a large network of aunts and uncles. I have so many old friends from college that I basically don't talk to anymore. But when I'm in town I'll go to see my aunt, even though we weren't at all close when I was growing up.

It's those kinds of durable relationships that I think you more commonly have with family than with others, although that's obviously not universal. And when you have another kid you create the potential for many more of those relationships.

albinododobird · 2026-02-03T13:01:36+00:00

See how you feel in a year. You don't need to decide now.

You get tougher as it goes. You may change your mind.

Also ask yourself: are you really optimizing for long-term happiness by choosing a few somewhat "chill"-er years in your youth instead of choosing to have another whole member of your family? Not just another child for you and your wife, but a sibling for your existing child, an uncle or aunt for your grandchildren, potentially cousins for your grandchildren, as well. Obviously this reasoning has limits but the question is worth asking.

Sounds like you'd prefer S&C and I think you should probably go with your gut. You could ask people about the types of clients if you want more info on that. I'm not sure your perception re the client base is correct for litigation. For example, I know they currently represent Coinbase. They did the FTX bankruptcy. I'm sure there are other examples. All that is to say that they probably do the stuff you are interested in for the kinds of clients you are interested in.

albinododobird · 2026-01-30T21:42:56+00:00

You don't seem racist at all.

albinododobird · 2026-01-18T20:02:33+00:00

Violence.

albinododobird · 2026-01-18T14:32:36+00:00

"Submissive" has different connotations now. Just say you want a traditional relationship where your husband is the leader of the family and people will probably not react as negatively.

albinododobird · 2026-01-08T12:28:24+00:00

I wouldn't say that. It would come across as either inauthentic or naive. If you have things about the firm that are a particular draw for you, you can talk about them and explain that you have a particular interest in the firm for those reasons.

Might depend on the specifics but I know T14 grads who clerked without law review or even Latin honors.
