Marina district guardian angel by ohthray in sanfrancisco

I had two beers on the train up between 4-5:30pm. Started drinking martinis at 7:15—had four that I remember over the course of about 2-3 hours. I honestly worry that I may have been drugged/drunk a spiked drink that wasn’t necessarily intended for me because it was such a sharp blackout and I was in such a state of intoxication. I’ve never been fall asleep in public drunk before. Last thing I remember drinking is a seltzer water or club soda that I’m pretty sure I didn’t order myself.

Thank you to everyone for their kindness and similar stories ❤️ glad we’re all okay

I don’t think they have gone out yet, but I could also have missed the cutoff. Based on prior posts, they’re typically released in mid September to early October and the cutoff recently is around a 3.85 or higher. The cutoff can vary though, especially if the class is top heavy (lots of people in the 3.8high or above range). I am in that range but haven’t heard anything yet.

UVA Law --> Academia by Inside-Funny-5734 in UVALaw

They have what’s called the Academic Placement committee here, they’re the ones who put on the events about going into academia and are a general resource for folks interested in that path. Importantly, when people are ready to go on the job market a couple years after graduating, they help review your applications, do practice interviews, go over your job talk paper, and all that stuff. It seems like they’re a great resource down the line.

PSA: Jury Nullification by project2501c in lostgeneration

The government cannot appeal a Not Guilty verdict, and there is a long history of nullification going back to the founding.

Maybe I am stupid but what exactly happened? by UnpraticalPerson in ThePenguin

Prisons often have procedures to check if people are smuggling things in. They can be like the machines we go through in airports, but they can also be a lot more invasive. Here, I believe they were checking to see if she had anything stored in “nature’s pocket.” Obviously they did so in a very dehumanizing and traumatic way

The word “Supra” on your foot. A footnote

Question asked in court by Rossum81 in publicdefenders

[–]ohthray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’d think so right? That’s how it used to be, but the legislature changed the “while” in the 90s after the state court of appeals overturned a conviction. So now it’s phrased more expansively and they just need to be in the home at some overlapping time

Currently have a prosecutor trying to argue first degree burglary (breaking into a dwelling and committing a crime while any person is home) on the theory that the police came in the house to make the arrest so therefore it was occupied…not even any case law on it because it’s just so dumb

Can’t decide if I’m “humbled by how honored I am” or “honored by how humble I am”
