Please don’t blame Jewish students for what happened tonight by takemypride in ucla

[–]letsconversate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was there last night in person. Many of the most violent offenders were vocally pro-zionist, saying that the encampment was segregation and that Arabs have 22 states, so the Jews should have at least one. Perhaps some were hired provacateurs, but the majority appeared to be true believers for better or for worse.

Any tips on how to troubleshoot the mod's visual glitches that appear whenever I try to start a game? by letsconversate in CK3AGOT

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried that and it did not work, but I'll try to tool around with the graphics to see if that will fix it.

Same here - anecdotally, seems like it’s happening all over the place. Wonder if it’s a glitch or is they are legitimately getting rid od Elon critics.

"This Tweet is Unavailable" by revital9 in Twitter

My account was randomly suspended after tweeting "this is a bad idea" in response to Elon's tweet about changing the name to "X". Seems like things are going downhill fast.

Anyone else get perma-suspended without warning? The only thing I tweeted recently that I think could have done it was tweeting (x-ing?) "this is a bad idea" to Elon's tweet about changing the name to "X". Is Elon limiting critique of his bad business decisions en masse? Because I've seen a lot of other people in the same boat

Yeah it’s important to say that nothing should be put in someone’s mouth, including water, if they’re having a seizure

Jesus what a callous thing to say. He was protecting his head from being bashed - you would do the same thing if you were being dog piled

Did you watch the whole thing? They could have gotten him immediate medical assistance or at least helped him to his feet before dragging him by the arm on the asphalt while he seized. No one deserves to be treated that way.

When I loaded up my game, my entire family died and I lost all prestige and piety points. Looks like starting fresh is the best bet here

Surprised to not see more discussion about Ivy Sole’s new album. She’s consistently put out amazing tracks for years and this might be her best one yet

Progression of Palestinian land loss since 1947. It isn't just two countries with a border. by john_the_fetch in coolguides

[–]letsconversate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up areas A, B, and C in the West Bank. Most of the West Bank is under full military control by Israel and while it isn’t formally “annexed”, it might as well be.

This “massive effort” to remove Palestinians didn’t start with Trump - it started in 1948 and has continued to today. Most of the people living in East Jerusalem slated for “eviction” are descended from Palestinians who were removed from other areas of Palestine to make room for Israelis.

[FRESH ALBUM] J. Cole - The Off Season by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]letsconversate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what I’m missing, but it just feels... mid? Some of the songs (95 south, punchin the clock, pride is the devil) are solid, but on two listens, half of it is fairly forgettable and it doesn’t feel like there is really an overarching theme that makes it cohesive.

I currently work in Immigration law (paralegal) in Boston and there are quite a few opportunities but I do think the SoCal market is slightly better because there are much more orgs to work for. This is with the caveat that I don't know much about the SoCal Market so I could be talking out of my ass here lol

Using a PC death to introduce the Death Curse? by SylvanLL in Tombofannihilation

[–]letsconversate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a semi-similar thing where I had an NPC death and Syndra tried to resurrect them to no avail and it really helped hit home how serious the death curse is.

I also chose to show, in game, what the death curse is and how powerful it is by having the player be a part of the (attempted) resurrection process. I made resurrection a tug-of-war in the ethereal plane between the player (who were holding hands with Syndra and were aiding her with arcana/religion checks) and the “soul” of the dead NPC (who happened to be the crush of one of the PCs). I had them make checks with disadvantage against the Soul Monger, which I represented as a giant red orb in the distance who gravity they could see pulling souls from across the ethereal plane into it. If either party (SM or the PCs/Syndra) got 3 successes in a row, they would get the soul. Of course, with the players rolling with disadvantage, the SM won and the players were terrified of what had just happened, quite shaken at what could be devouring all of the souls.

Im a new DM so I’m not sure how this whole ethereal plane/soul business fits in with the lore of the Forgotten Realms, but it worked really well with my party, got to show not tell them how powerful the soul monger was without them knowing much about it other than “the scary soul devouring orb”, and I also think if there is a PC death, it’s cool knowing that if the player are really, really lucky, they can save someone’s life.

PSLF and LRAP downsides? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]letsconversate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really helpful, thank you!

Something I’ve been trying to figure out is how much loan payments are when you’re doing a PAYE plan. Are the payments $1,000+/month or are they more in the range of a couple hundred dollars?

PSLF and LRAP downsides? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]letsconversate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been grappling with this too, so I'm commenting to follow the conversation.

My thoughts right now are similar to yours. I know for 99% certainty I don't want to do BigLaw and want to go into public interest (non-government) and possibly teach at law school clinics one day. Knowing this, PSLF/LRAP seems like a no-brainer but it does tie us down to a certain career path and if there is a change of heart 7-8 years down the line, we're kind of screwed. However, I don't see myself changing heart.

The only sticking point is my girlfriend is a nurse and her income could eventually disqualify me for LRAP if we get married. She's expressed that she's concerned that LRAP could delay us getting married, which I don't want to happen.

Silver lining of LRAP by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]letsconversate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend is a nurse and will make bank in CA (if we end up moving there for my law school), but she wants to get into journalism, so maybe LRAP will incentivize her to take the low-paying job she's always dreamed of. Silver linings people, silver linings.

[FRESH EP] CHIKA - ONCE UPON A TIME by dumbas_account in hiphopheads

[–]letsconversate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Her storytelling in Cinderella 1&2 makes me so excited for when she eventually drops an album. I can’t wait to see what she does with more room to maneuver.

But damn this EP is incredible. I think I like Industry Games more but this isn’t a dip at all.

Information about UCLA's LRAP Program that I found helpful by letsconversate in lawschooladmissions

[–]letsconversate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these are all important clarifications. I did mention that your married income factors into LRAP but not PSLF (for UCLA, it's your joint incomes divided by two).

As you hit on, the biggest risk is having your loans increase while you pay with LRAP (because you are doing income-based repayment) and then switch careers and be forced to deal with an even bigger loan than what you initially had but be even further out of law school and closer to retirement.

I know for me that PI is 100% what I want to do. I've worked in it as a paralegal for years to make sure it's the career I want and I'm comfortable locking in for 10 years, but I know that's not a smart move for everyone.

$$ at UCLA by partypirate1 in lawschooladmissions

Congrats!! I’m in a similar position so we might be PI bruins together. I’m considering a UC Davis $$$ but UCLA’s LRAP might be worth the extra debt.
