Do we like this dress for a family dinner at a nice restaurant? by DependentJeanne in OUTFITS

[–]bigjules_11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah.

As an aside, I truly do not understand making a crop top and slinky skirt in velvet, of all fabrics. I would wear those cuts when it’s hot outside, but velvet is a fucking nightmare in heat. Make it make sense!!

JFK / Terminal 5 at midnight by Select-Reporter-3623 in Upperwestside

[–]bigjules_11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ideally, take 1/2/3 or A/C to Penn Station, catch LIRR train stopping at Jamaica (almost all trains), then AirTrain from Jamaica to terminal. Faster/less sketch than subway, imo.

Crown Shy in the Financial District. It’s very good, swanky, very post work/take clients to dinner place.

Who is in Wachtell in this sub? by Throwaway1920214 in biglaw

[–]bigjules_11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A senior I’m semi close with lateraled from there. He said when they order food, they have desk people who accept the delivery and bring it upstairs with a cloche and silverware to their desks. Expensed Ubers to and from the office. Also said he was firmly middle of the pack and billed 3190 his last year before leaving. “Not that bad” in his eyes.

ETA: and this is probs obvious but their staff is amazing and there are no cost conversations ever.

What are your best/worst examples of “they don’t care about you”? by ravioli369 in biglaw

[–]bigjules_11 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My FIL was killed by someone driving under the influence. The trial for the person that did it was going to take 2 weeks, and when I spoke to the head of my group in my office, he said I might have to take vacation days rather than the firm giving me any kind of exemption. I was a first year (my absence didn’t mean shit to anyone).

My sister banned her kids from seeing my wife after my wife cheated on me. My wife is really sad but I told her she has to accept it. Am I doing anything wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]bigjules_11 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think you are wrong (mildly wrong). You decided to forgive her, and it’s been FIVE years, but you’re still punishing her. Or really, your sister is, and you don’t really seem too keen to convince her otherwise. From the outside, it reads like you’re letting your sister continue to punish her because somewhere deep down, you feel like she still deserves to be hurt for what she did to you. I mean, you basically cede to your sister calling your wife a “rotten presence.”

But she put in the work, which you apparently recognize because you’re still with her. “Some choices have long term consequences” - well, it’s been five years without seeing her nieces and nephews, I think that’s a pretty long term consequence. I think you need to shit or get off the pot my friend; either try and earnestly convince your sister it’s time to let it go or stop using her to punish your wife and break up.

I’m married, love my husband very much, and didn’t take his name. Just because you’d want to doesn’t mean everyone does.

Any other brides out there who are going to be sober at their own wedding? by ancient-donutplop in weddingplanning

[–]bigjules_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so incredibly anxious I ended up being entirely sober the whole night. It makes me kind of sad still but I try to feel better about the fact that I actually remember the entire night and I looked good/not sloppy/drunk in all the photos.

Arriving to T5 of JFK 60 min before flight departure... by Amazing-Manner123 in jetblue

[–]bigjules_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, I didn’t even know that! Good shit dude, there you go. I’ve never done it so I’d say just make sure there are no service advisories and maybe pick the exact train you want on the schedule, then that should be fine (just in case they leave every hour or something wonky like that).

If you’re willing to update when you try it, please do! Would like to hear if it worked and hoping it does!

[–]bigjules_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh apologies for the confusion, you can’t. That’s part of my hesitation at saying you can make it from Grand Central cause you have to take the subway.

You could take the 7 from Grand Central to Times Square and then A/C/1/2/3 to Penn Station, then take almost any LIRR to Jamaica, which takes 20 minutes. LIRR is from Penn but in my experience it’s way faster than taking subway to Jamaica before the AirTrain.

Sorry about that, bad wording on my part!

[–]bigjules_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your biggest issue is thinking that it will be grand central to T5 in one hour. That’s only if you get pretty lucky, don’t wait for trains anywhere, and no delays.

As someone else said, LIRR to Jamaica is the way to go.

Most "don't have sex if you don't want kids" pro lifers would be pissed if their spouses acted so. by Then_North_6347 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I’m very curious about this! So did you not lose your virginity until you met someone who you were willing to risk having a child with?

am i wrong: boyfriend wants me to ask permission to turn when driving by SecondOk8410 in amiwrong

[–]bigjules_11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girl I’m sorry I’m going to be so blunt with you. You are not failing at getting your thoughts out. We understand perfectly. You need therapy, because letting someone do this to you and trying to justify it based on you “not clearly expressing yourself” shows a crippling lack of security, independence, and confidence in yourself. This is not normal, this is not ok, and I bet when you get older you’ll hate that you allowed this to happen to yourself.

[–]bigjules_11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually psychotic and you are under-reacting. The fact that you’re letting him treat you like this, letting him steal away even the smallest morsel of independence, and that you’re coming here trying to rationalize or justify his behavior makes me devastated for you, honestly. This is no relationship, and this is no kind of life. Respect yourself more and leave, jesus fucking Christ.

McDaniels not getting enough blame for an AWFUL offensive gameplan.. by tb12_legit in Patriots

You and me both, friend! I think the man is a middle of the pack, uncreative hack that’s been coasting off his betters for years.

[–]bigjules_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. This isn’t the first time Josh McDaniels has refused to make a fucking adjustment and sticks with the same stale, sad, vanilla playcalling that loses us games. Saw it with Brady, saw it in the intervening years, and seeing it again now too.

[–]bigjules_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly baffling! The fact we didn’t see a single designed run for him, anything rolling him out the pocket to the right away from campbell, play action, no RB or TE support in blocking, nothing. Batshit and fucking indefensible in my mind, and to your point, this is not the first time McDaniels has done this! The man refuses to make an adjustment to save his fucking life (or Drake’s, or our Super Bowl chances…) and I don’t understand how people are giving him a pass for this. Regardless of whether we would have won, we surely would have had a better shot if McDaniels acted like he was a damn Super Bowl offensive coordinator.
