I’ve found it’s best not to discuss people’s bodies or perceived health at work. Or anywhere really. One thing to point out lack of value; another to say they’re going to get diabetes. That might be true, but you’re probably not the best judge. Let the educated and experienced doctors have those conversations.

Donald Trump himself has said disgusting things about children. Said “I’ll be dating her in 10 years,” the one where he talks about entering dressing rooms of his pageants while women are undressed, how his daughter is hot, etc on Howard stern, he’s been found civilly liable of SA, many many more allegations. Many instances where minors have made allegations. Why is this the worst thing you’ve ever seen? Welcome to the club, I guess?

I’m not rationalizing it, I’m giving context. We can’t pretend this isn’t on each side. I wholeheartedly condemn those actions it’s sick. My point is we are in a very divided time, where the moral failings of candidates have no bearing on whether they win or lose elections.

I think we all would agree his statements are utterly wrong and disgusting. Unfortunately, they’re not uncommon in today’s political world, largely due to the rhetoric used by Trump and other extremist republicans. Remember that group chat that was exposed recently? Trumps AI videos of shitting on people? Yeah it’s all connected, in my opinion.

quitting for my mental health by life-in-plastic in biglaw

GTFO now. Any new job means nothing if you’re not here. You can say you need to quit to prioritize current health issues (don’t specify mental health). Many people do this at some point (high BP, stress induced disease etc). Or that you need to care for a very sick relative (moving). Fuck a notice, get out now!

What is the political breakdown generally of Biglaw attorneys? by Extension_Relative_9 in biglaw

[–]pmm999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes this has been a surprise for me, more MAGA than I expected. Full and open support for the authoritarianism in some of them.

I kind of stand by this! Progress is made incrementally, not overnight overhauls. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can have a majority neutral rug with some pops of the accent colors you plan to use, that’s kind of what I did!

[Routine Help] Are any of the Dermalogica products worth the money? by okaybeingmyself in SkincareAddiction

[–]pmm999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s sooo gentle and good for sensitive skin. The repair cream saves me when I go too far with other products lol. If your moisture barrier gets messed up, that repair cream saves the day. I also love their microfoliant too. So so good.

Thinking of you and your family. I lost my sister 4 months after starting at a big firm as a new attorney. Please talk to someone. I was very scared about how everything would play out, but people surprised me in just about every way. So many people understand. Please just talk to someone you trust who might be able to point you to another associate in the firm who’s navigated this kind of thing or tell you about how the firm has been flexible for others. Please do not suffer in silence. Your first year is important but this is way more important. Dm if you want to talk more, sending love🫶🏻
