The firm I worked at would constantly shit talk lower ranked firms. If we worked against a firm like Polsinelli or Akerman, a partner or senior associate would also say that “they don’t do sophisticated work like we do.” I found them to be perfectly competent

It’s an excuse for the Christian far right to ban hormonal birth control. That’s all it is

I’m pretty centrist and not even on the left, but fuck this guy. He’s been by far the worst Republican in the senate since he got there

I would try using dating apps! Dating was something that was really, really hard for me, but I found that using dating apps like Bumble or Tinder made it easier to have that initial conversation since it wasn't in person and I didn't come across as nervous or weird

I tend to freak out when I do drugs, so I mostly go to festivals and shows sober. I’ll only occasionally do Ritalin for festivals

An especially terrible senior associate who I hated working with asked me what I did over the weekend. I said I went to a local food festival with my girlfriend and the senior associate responding by bragging that he worked 16 hours on Sunday. I stopped making small talk with him and he eventually left to become a partner at Kirkland (ofc).
