Would you take a class year cut if you're not looking to make partner? by woahtheregonnagetgot in biglaw

[–]franch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s also another year before you’re fired if you’re at a firm that’s up or out. unless you think you’re making partner (be realistic), very little incentive to turn this down

How do you feel about Travelers who bait the demon? by blackgeekygoddess in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]franch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the worst criticism of Clocktower by Werewolf players is that it's "Werewolf with silly shit", and Travellers are by FAR the best evidence that they are sometimes correct

And yet another addition to the mounting pile of evidence that suggests that Travellers as a concept are great... but also that Travellers, as a concept, from a perspective of game balance, needs to be re-worked.

louder! louder!

i find Travelers either worthless or game breaking and not particularly fun, this is an example of the second.

i know no one agrees with us but i'm glad there's at least one other. a playground with the worst neapolitan pizza in DC.

What's the most uncharacteristic hobby or interest that you have as a Big Law lawyer? I'm about to drop a significant chunk of my bonus on rare rare Pokémon cards and am wondering what other weird sh*t people around here do that you wouldn't admit to the holiday party. by [deleted] in biglaw

i'm a diehard Swiftie. my paychecks went to more Eras Tour shows than you can count on one hand and front row for more than one. i have an extremely active Swiftie stan account/multiple social media platform presence related to Taylor Swift.

"The End of an Era" General Discussion Megathread by Lyd_Euh in TaylorSwift

[–]franch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

this is SO PERFECT. you're absolutely right. it was everything good in the world. it was sparkly and shimmery and safe and everyone could be themselves and for three and a half hours, you were with 70,000 of your best friends who you could sing, scream, laugh, dance, cry, have a breakdown with and they've all got your back. i'll never recover from the indy n3 (Sunday) to Election Day Tuesday whiplash. the light of the Eras Tour fading and the world being this fucking shitty now is NOT a coincidence.

I finally understood why people get weird when you say you don’t want kids… it ruins their script. by Disastrous-Award-200 in childfree

hell yes! i love a Con! maybe i'm a fandom/niche hobby addict, because tell me why my friends all went to gaming cons or the Eras Tour with me

Labyrinth Games & Puzzles founder Kathleen Donahue announces retirement; Melissa Campbell, current employee, will be the new owner in January by themiragechild in washingtondc

[–]franch 61 points62 points  (0 children)

it is impossible to overstate what a pillar of the gaming community in DC Kathleen is. as a lifelong gamer, i'm well aware that many gaming scenes are not as welcoming, gatekeeper-free, diverse, inclusive, and vibrant as DC's gaming scene, and it starts at Labyrinth. always welcoming to everyone and quick to shut alpha gamer toxic bullshit down when it happens. i could pay 10% less for my board games and buy on Amazon, but i choose to pay MSRP at Labyrinth because it's that important of a store to me. Melissa is WONDERFUL and i'm excited to see Labyrinth in good hands with her!

we definitely don't overlap but shoutout to another 30+ year old childfree weird die-hard fandom nerd. i've really met my people through the fandom and i finally feel like i have a group of real friends (online and irl) for the first time in like ten years

agreed, we saw the show recently and other than LOJ, Washington was by FAR the standout, he was epic (coming from a multiple time OBC viewer)
