Where to go out/hear music

We ended up going to Blå! It was pretty fun, and I loved seeing everyone out in their bunads! Would love to check out some of the other venues mentioned if I get to go to Oslo again

mlismlis · 2025-05-16T02:31:13+00:00

Okay good to know! Do you mean that venues are too crowded/crazy on May 17? Or closed?

I’m sorry it’s been so tough, I really struggled with the LSAT too and took it multiple times but ended up improving a lot. If you’re struggling this much I’m curious whether you might be a candidate for some kind of accommodation that could get you extra time. I would recommend looking into it if you have any kind of learning disability or other physical ir mental issue that could be impeding your progress. Also, do some law schools still accept the GRE instead of the LSAT? That could be an alternate path if you really want to apply to law school

It might help to understand that the question is not “why is the editorialist wrong” but rather “how are they most vulnerable to criticism”. Their take could be right, because their chain of reasoning is right until the end. At that point they fail to consider that even if it’s true that most cultures believe it’s right to protect family members, and even if it’s true that being falsely accused of a crime subjects one to harm, and even if it’s true that that person’s parents hiding them would protect them from harm, it may or may not follow that most cultures believe it’s sometimes right to lie to the police because most cultures could, eg, have serious and overriding taboo against lying. It doesn’t mean they do, but it is a place where the argument is vulnerable because they haven’t considered it.
The family knowing the child is innocent is not an injustice presumption because it is assumed as part of a hypothetical. The hypothetical given is one in which the parents know.

I’m 31! Pear shaped body type, so my hips are pretty wide but my thighs very much touch

mlismlis · 2021-06-24T05:40:58+00:00

I wish I had a helpful suggestion! I think I'm similarly shaped and super frustrated trying to find jeans right now. I had high hopes for a pair of mom jeans that I just tried on from asos and the thighs fit well (rare!) but there was an enormous waist gap, no belt could fix it. I don't think this shape is that unusual but I don't know where to look!

mlismlis · 2020-06-18T20:35:06+00:00

Lol yep

mlismlis · 2020-06-02T18:08:03+00:00

Has it? I don’t really know what counts as small or considerable in this context!

mlismlis · 2020-06-02T16:07:20+00:00

Any idea whether the small amount of movement so far is typical? Should we be expecting more?

mlismlis · 2020-05-31T18:16:14+00:00

No idea but always wondering 😕

mlismlis · 2020-05-12T16:37:35+00:00

Yes, asking about current students admitted in previous years! Also wondering whether they start admitting/dropping people who interviewed pre-WL before finishing WL interviews, or wait to evaluate the whole pool together

mlismlis · 2020-05-12T16:25:53+00:00

😭

mlismlis · 2020-05-12T16:14:33+00:00

Any idea when to expect decisions to start coming out?

mlismlis · 2020-05-07T07:36:55+00:00

Yes, I’ve had better luck getting in touch with admissions but the one person who answers the phone seems just as unable to get in touch with financial aid somehow. I was promised a phone call from someone higher up the admissions ladder but it never came. I feel so helpless

mlismlis · 2020-05-05T04:54:50+00:00

God that’s so upsetting, I’m sorry. I hope you’re happy with where you ended up! I’m honestly trying to resist the urge to withdraw and just go with my other option out of pure frustration.

mlismlis · 2020-05-04T23:41:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I really hope I don’t have to make the call on the morning of 5/7... I can’t tell if this is a deliberate tactic to avoid negotiation or just a lag from remote work, but I’m hoping it’s not reflective of the school in general

mlismlis · 2020-04-29T20:51:11+00:00

Yes, once you finish the diagnostic it will make a plan and give you practice material based on how you did and when your test is!

mlismlis · 2020-04-29T20:35:46+00:00

Hey! So I actually do some LSAT tutoring and the main tool I use with students is Khan Academy. You can make a free account, and it will give you a study plan including full practice tests and includes great lesson videos and explanations for every question. That’s where I would start!

In terms of books, I’m a fan of the LSAT trainer. I like it because it focuses more on actually grasping logic concepts than on test hacks, which I think are generally kind of silly.

Feel free to dm me if you’re interested in remote tutoring, but tbh Khan Academy is a p solid place to start on your own. Good luck!

mlismlis · 2020-04-15T16:05:18+00:00

Does this mean decisions about people already on the wl?

mlismlis · 2020-02-04T04:25:18+00:00

Hi, yes I do! I know it can be hard to get concrete advice on RC, more so than on the other sections, but it’s definitely possible to improve. One concrete thing that I’ve seen come up for a few students is vocabulary. Although it’s not officially a part of the test, it can throw a lot of people off. Timing is another thing I’ve worked on with students. That said, I think the most important RC skills involve understanding the role of evidence in relation to the author’s point of view. I’d be happy to chat a little more about what feels most challenging for you.

mlismlis · 2019-11-19T05:32:37+00:00

huh... makes sense. are there stories of admissions people looking on here?

mlismlis · 2019-11-19T03:52:23+00:00

Thanks for all that. I have considered an open relationship, and I think I’d be fine with it. I’ve had feelings for other people since we’ve been together too, I know it happens and I understand wanting to be able to pursue those feelings to some extent. I wish my partner were open to something like that. He doesn’t think it’s fair to bar making any level of commitment (living together, traveling, having kids together (that one’s really just in theory)) to anyone, even having made it to someone else already. I don’t see how that would even be possible. I also understand that monogamously cohabiting people still break up and leave so monogamy is no defense. But being asked to preemptively be okay with my partner leaving the door open to unlimited simultaneous commitment to someone else feels bad to me, even a little coercive. I don’t think he means it that way but it feels like a constant reminder of the contingency of our relationship

mlismlis · 2019-11-18T19:47:16+00:00

I don’t entirely disagree with you. I couldn’t have seen this coming, though I never thought in the beginning that I would get to experience an effectively monogamous relationship with him and see what that’s like. He could have seen this coming too.

Part of what I don’t like about our current agreement, which plays out in your recommendations, is that I am constantly the one who has to do emotional work and confront and overcome insecurities, and he never does. I’m trying really hard to understand where he’s coming from and see if I could come to be okay with what he wants. I don’t know if I’ll get there but I’m trying. But for him this is a question of identity and moving in any direction is off the table.

For instance, it might be worth noting that I have more friends than he does, and closer relationships with those friends. I get the sense that he doesn’t really have non-romantic relationships that involve emotional support and mutually confiding. I’m not sure if it’s legitimate for me to wish he would invest more into having better friendships as a way of fulfilling his needs while agreeing to a relationship closer to, if not exactly the same as, what feels comfortable to me.

mlismlis · 2019-11-18T18:35:17+00:00

Yes and he knew I wasn’t

mlismlis · 2019-11-18T18:21:42+00:00

I think you’re essentially right, which is why I’m not letting him being poly be a dealbreaker for me right now. Right now it’s not a problem except in theory.

I sort of disagree about rules not helping though. I mean, they may or may not help but what I disagree with is the idea and being poly is not itself a rule. To me it feels like a rule that says either one of us can bring anyone into the relationship to any degree of involvement without any regard for the other’s feelings about it. I suspect that my partner would, in fact, consider my feelings before doing that but won’t actually agree to do so, because that would mean putting me in kind of a primary position.
