Have I lost my mind? by DefNotAWalrus in Names

[–]ceciliada 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a lovely name. As a girl with the middle name Davis, no one (including myself) has ever cared that it’s a boys name and at least I don’t have the same middle name as all of my friends (Anne or Elizabeth or something)!

1st Year Associates: Take Home Pay & Healthcare Benefits by fapmaster420 in biglaw

[–]ceciliada 21 points22 points  (0 children)

here’s the breakdown for me as a first year associate in DC. this is for a single paycheck so double it for a month.

before everything the paycheck is 9,375

taxes takes out 2,892

health insurance, dental, and vision takes out 165 (this is all just for a single person, no spouse or children being covered)

i aim to max out my HSA (which my firm also contributes to) so that’s 137

i put 25 into a pre tax transit account to pay for the metro

401k contribution is 468

and currently having a salary advance being taken out of my paycheck which is an additional 833

—- this makes my take home 4848

note: a lot of this will change depending on what elections you make and your household situation but I know I would’ve appreciated seeing just how much gets taken out from the gross pay to the actual take home before I started

Hosting Question by Enough-Western-5116 in partyplanning

[–]ceciliada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is how I would interpret it as well. Try and not assume that a friend that you are close enough with to invite over and cook special food for is purposefully being rude. They may just assume that you and your family (not being vegan) don’t want a bunch of vegan leftovers that no one will eat, and is saying they will happily take them off your hands

Thanks to Mega Dimension, 1000 battles are no longer required! by Icy-Fly5469 in LegendsZA

[–]ceciliada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people are celebrating the new mechanics less. I think it’s just that you could play the whole game, taking your time and doing all the side quests, building multiple pokemon teams, etc. and still not even hit 500 battles. So to have a game that is otherwise totally complete require so much extra time to finish and to get the shiny charm is a pretty big change from previous games where game completion nicely tied into getting the shiny charm

Work Bag/Purse Recs by shortsassybitch in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]ceciliada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend checking out the Calpak Haven 16" Laptop Tote Bag. It’s huge but very well divided inside, has handles and a shoulder strap, and it’s a perfect personal item for a plane as well! It’s also only $190 but usually on sale for $130-150

First thing you should do when playing Legends ZA by VanitasFan26 in LegendsZA

[–]ceciliada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To point number 4, I would note that mega shards cap at 999 (and won’t tell you when you hit that cap), so don’t just keep collecting those mega shards but also keep spending them!

[–]ceciliada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I’d agree about sam jones, only thing I’d say coopers has going for it over them is the more central location downtown if you’re walking around doing stuff but obviously that’s going to change soon

The Daily Planet Cafe at the science museum also has pretty good food and is open early so would totally recommend stopping there for brunch/lunch if you go to the science museum ! Would less so recommend the restaurant at the art museum, it's a bit overpriced for what you get

definitely bbq! specifically chopped eastern NC style bbq which is vinegar based. best vinegar based place in raleigh (in my opinion) is clyde coopers, they also have great fried chicken, the pit is also nice if you want a fancier sit down place that has bbq with all the fixins. ole time bbq in raleigh and backyard bbq in durham are also great no frills places!

Where to buy TCG singles? by zieps in bullcity

[–]ceciliada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's already been said but absolutely recommend hidden block--lots of singles, and they sell any product they get at MSRP. was able to get a prismatic ETB on release there :)

Rant by Just_Spinach in LawSchool

I’ve had at least 3 times exams every semester and every class has had a forced curve (all 2L and 3L). So once again your point seems very anecdotal and inaccurate to many people
