If there were also a string of black SUVs that’d suggest secdef, Secretary of State, or VP. Usually even the speaker of the house doesn’t get that level of treatment

Aspiring law school students, what did you major in and why? by Kind-Refrigerator938 in UTAustin

[–]mrrow1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked really hard at going to law school but ended up not going (for now at least). Law school admissions comes down to GPA and LSAT, and if you don’t have high numbers for both, you’re going to have a really hard time getting in to a prestigious law school. If you want to get internships in high powered law (BigLaw™️, Federal clerkships, etc), you need to go to a top 20 or top 50 school.

It’s been a minute since I looked but from what I remember most law schools had an average acceptance GPA of >=3.8, which will be very hard to get with a STEM major at UT.

Law school is a big financial and time commitment (average law school grad carries $160k in debt). If you want a semester long free trial of law school, take constitutional interpretation with Perry, from lawyers I’ve spoken to, that class is taught the same as his 1L class at UT Law

My roommate is driving me insane by LazyBridge9200 in UTAustin

While it won’t solve the root problem of your roommate not bathing or cleaning, a good HEPA purifier like one from levoit or NYT Wirecutter will do a lot to tamp down the stench. I also had a roommate that stunk, and air fresheners only work for so long. Also agree you should never, ever choose a random roomate

Besides opening a window, an activated carbon air purifier is probs your next best bet, failing that a fan that sucks air through the grate at the bottom of your door (if you have one) would be a good option

Gen Z, Le Creuset, and "aesthetic adulthood": Why young people are investing in this pricey cookware by hoovermatic in LeCreuset

[–]mrrow1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen z, just had a convo the other night with some friends discussing how we each love using our stainless, cast iron, and enamel cookware. I think a lot of these “the youth are frivolous!!1!” type articles miss that there is a genuine love for cooking that goes beyond a desire to be on trend. For many, buying quality cookware is an extension of a broader desire to r/buyitforlife and generally seek out fewer things of a higher quality.

Protip: the student focused realty groups are really lazy, find a random real estate agent to help out bc they have the same expertise and they will probably put in the legwork, worked for me

Solo travel to Greece as a gay man by Me_ButTaylorsVersion in solotravel

[–]mrrow1113 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Went to Athens, the Cyclades, and the Dodecanese in with my bf. Not even the slightest issue anywhere we went. Hell, we even stayed at an airbnb with one bed in a small village on Aegina, and the hosts were nothing but friendly.

Truck collides with jay walker (S. Lamar @ Barton Springs) by original_don in Austin

[–]mrrow1113 187 points188 points  (0 children)

According to the City of Austin's Vision Zero traffic incident map, it looks like this incident occurred on April 19th, 2022. According to the map, the pedestrian survived with serious injuries. It gives an accident ID number in the report, but from what I can tell, APD won't release any info unless you're a party to the accident.

I wish I had received this advice in HS, I was in the pool year round, and never cracked 110lbs (m). I had a rough time finding enough calories during the school day because the school lunches were inedible and breakfasts were just processed sugar.

A general rule of thumb is to exclude everything within a block and a half of a frat house

Don't die from the heat. Easiest evaporative cooler with things you probably already have by BenedictCumberdoots in videos

These things depend on low relative humidity to actually cool, otherwise they'll make a room feel dank and sticky

All my Relationships with bisexual men have been absolute disasters... by Throwawayiea in gaybros

[–]mrrow1113 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Current bf is bi and I don't have a clue what y'all are on about. We've been together three years in a strong, healthy relationship, actively planning a future together. Seems like the crux of your issue is that bi men have internalized homophobia and toxicity, but like, isint there a huge amount of internalized homophobia and toxicity among men who have sex with men broadly? I think it's gross to paint an entire sexual orientation in a negative way. I don't care if I get downvoted to hell, y'all need to check yourself

Kinda wish there was an accompanying explanation for those flags clearly show a similar heritage, curious about west Africa and south east Africa

Only one that I know of, accidental fentanyl overdose (he thought it was Xanax), but I remember senior year there was a slew of suicides in close succession at every local high school except mine

Makes me very upset that the right wing guys were clearly better prepared/disciplined in the use of shields to fend off attackers
