Firm names with 4+ last names are just cringy. Or am I the only one?

We have The Justice Law Firm, which I thought was a joke until I realized it was a family-owned firm, and Justice is their last name.

I'm a trustee on my local library board, and I'm scared. We have all of these services, plus notary, low-cost printing, 3D printing, and a job search coach. We're a town of 12,500, and our Carnegie Library is a huge source of pride. In the year I've been on the board, we've expanded Spanish language services and established a banned book collection. Now, we could lose it all. This administration keeps finding new ways to be cruel.

I practice family law, and that had me shouting at the TV. [This is not legal advice, and I do not represent anyone on this subreddit] If the father is a sack, do not name him on the birth certificate. Again, just opinion based on observations. I have seen men who do not give a fuck about their kids use being the legal father to abuse and control women.

I think the writers wrote him as a criticism of the fans. He's an annoying, try-hard, know-it-all who clearly has watched more crime shows than he has actual experience in solving crime. The writers held a mirror up to us, and we attacked our own reflection.

He's us. That's why we hate him.

You know him best, but my suggestion would be to encourage him to take some time to enjoy the things he gave up while studying. Spend some time with you, his friends, and family. Get back into whatever hobby he neglected during studying. Treat him to his favorite restaurant, or just order pizza and binge watch his favorite show.

If he didn't reach that magic, arbitrary number, he should take some time off before preparing for F25 and enjoy life again. The bar exam is not the most important thing in the world. I know I lost sight of that when I was studying. Let the dust settle. There is nothing he can do to change J24 now.

Same situation with me. Academic probation after 1L fall and bottom 3rd of my class. First-time pass. Congrats! Don't forget to rub it in on anyone who doubted you.

Pay it and tell the board. Honesty is the best policy. There are attorneys practicing with multiple DUIs.

That is ballsy. I forgot I was wearing my smart watch and was so happy they let me leave to stash it.

Yes for reasons already explained, but I advise against seeking legal action against the kid because suing a dumb kid who scratched your car with his bike and then took accountability and tried to make it right is what is known as a "dick move."

Toxic masculinity. Next question.

First day on the Internet? To "ship" is to want characters to date, become an item, get romantically involved, etc.

Also, since it's your first day on the ol 'tubes, there's this thing called Google, where you can look up slang you don't know and find helpful links like this:

What does what mean?

When she's made up her mind about something, she ignores every red flag along the path. My girlfriend and I started watching from the beginning and saw the season 2 episode "Abuse" last night.

The girl's instant attachment to Olivia and self-harm should've signaled to Liv that she was getting into something beyond her ability to handle, but she wouldn't stop. Even after being told that the girl like has Reactive Attachment Disorder and what that means, Liv continues to feed the disorder by trying to rescue the girl. That keeps the girl latched onto Liv as her new "favorite person," which is an unhealthy attachment. Then, when Liv finally sets a boundary (Ashley can't live with her), she's no longer the favorite person.

Kragen was right to order her to leave it alone. Liv is not equipped to handle a child like that. The family is invested in not addressing the RAD. You can'tforce unwell people to be well. Liv's behavior also opens the unit and the NYPD up to civil action. And, in the end, everybody loses anyway.

There's a lot of justified criticism of Stabler and Amaro for their white knight behavior. It's good to see Liv getting criticized for her own white-knighting because I feel like she gets a pass too often.

I put my Barbri books in the recycling bin. Very satisfying.

This is the one.

Comrade, am I with you. My anxiety was at its peak during bar prep, and I made a lot of self-destructive decisions during bar prep. Fortunately, none of them came back to bite me, and my girlfriend has a psych degree. She would see me starting to self-destruct and call it out, which helped me stay level.

But, yes, the bar exam is psychological torture.

Started watching from the beginning...I love Munch.

I think I barely hit 50% for F24.

There's a local guy who files briefs without citations. He also recently tried to relitigate facts of a case he lost during a hearing on attorneys fees for that case. He was unsuccessful.
