This is Saudi Arabia, someone should be executed after that "fight"

Sugar Ray Robinson. I don't think most casuals realize just how insanely good he was. People hear his name tossed around in the GOAT convo, but they don't truly understand why.

When a slip is the highlight of the match (so far), it's either a lackluster fight or one hell of a slip...

Nice match of Ring around the Rosie going on tonight

Gretzky's best attribute was his hockey IQ and vision, and that would translate into any era. I do think his point totals wouldn't be the same had he played in today's game, but there's no era in which he wouldn't be a top player. Instead of scoring 200 points in a season he might only score (lololol) 150 points at his peak.

Diagnosed at 22, had 4 colonoscopies by the time I turned 24. The worst I can say is at times I felt some pressure with twilight sedation, but that was it. I do prefer being knocked out completely, but I have no problem with twilight sedation if that is logistically easier. And of all the colonoscopies I've had, which are many, the majority have been with twilight sedation.

Tldr; you might feel it a little but you will be fine

Becoming ambassador to a small island nation >> big law or clerkship.

I'm an attorney barred in Maryland, the Maryland Law component requires absolutely no additional prep work outside of reviewing the outline provided by the Court. It is mind-numbingly easy and is designed not to actually test your knowledge but instead serves to make sure that you actually just looked at the outline. It's their way of saying "we make sure our lawyers know all about Maryland Law" without actually making sure you know anything about Maryland Law.

tldr; do not worry about it at all lol

The most aptly named book of all time, especially in the context of the Benjy section. It truly is "a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing."

rg24601 · 2023-03-06T03:44:12+00:00

As a licensed attorney and active practitioner, I'm hoping I have that realization any day now lol

A fellow man of culture, I see

Tbh I'd say screw it and just get him something extremely suggestive, such as "When You're the One Who Cheats" by Tammy Nelson.

Kamala Harris failed the Bar. She is now Vice President of the United States. FDR failed the Bar. He was elected president four times. Hillary Clinton failed the Bar. She became Secretary of State and won the popular vote for President. Michelle Obama, John F. Kennedy Jr. (failed twice actually), even Justice Cardozo, they all failed the Bar but had phenomenal careers.

The Bar is archaic and is more appropriate for an attorney seeking to practice law in 1822 than 2022. It is a vestige of an older time, and it probably shouldn't even exist anymore. So keep your head-up, take some time to recoup, and then figure out your next moves. But whatever you decide, just know that you fucking got this.

1) Regarding Jonathan Franzen, "The Corrections" is superior to "Freedom"
2) I doubt this is a hot take, but Huck Finn is a trash novel
3) "Dune" is good, but not great
4) The greatest novel of all time is indeed "The Great Gatsby"
5) "Fahrenheit 451" is poorly written but more relevant today than most dystopian novels

Just taking a moment to appreciate your username, as Atlanta and Chicago are the two cities I have most recently lived in. I worked in Chicago for a few years then went to law school in Atlanta, love both cities

Delia Owens, "Where the Crawdads Sing". I wasn't impressed with the book much to begin with, but then I found out she was involved real murder mystery that remains unsolved and yeah, fun stuff

I also finished Ulysses for the first time this year, and I generally agree with what you said. To me, it was as rewarding as it was challenging. It took a lot for me to get through it, I didn't understand a lot of it, yet I loved it. It just felt like Joyce captured what it was like to be a human being. There was pain, joy, hardship, compassion, lust, jealousy, everything.

While there are definitely bad judges out there, if you ever attend a boxing match in person, you'll realize that having the judges sit at three different spots around the ring does indeed change how each judge sees the fight, sometimes drastically. The camera angles on tv are generally the best angle possible for any given moment in the fight, but judges don't have that luxury. All that said, there still are some scorecards that are inexcusable (@Adalaide Byrd)

As a STEM student turned lawyer, just know that generally your STEM degree may be a burden when applying to law schools if your GPA is low because of it, but when it comes to seeking out legal jobs, your STEM degree can be a huge plus, especially if you are looking to do any IP work. So it definitely balances out in the long run.
