Exactly. If she was so concerned about her daughters, she should have taken a plea deal.

That’s fair....it just seems, to me, that learning law is enough like “drinking from a fire hose” when you ARE in law school. Trying to learn it “on your own” without the structure/organization provided by a formal education seems totally overwhelming.

Apparently in California if you “apprentice” with a lawyer for a certain period of time, you can take the bar even if you haven’t been to law school. That seems...way less ideal for learning a massive subject like the law than if you were to get a formal education, but hey wtf do me and my student loans know, right?

Exactly. Hell, I’m IN law school (though not going for a JD), and I can barely get law firms to acknowledge my job applications.

I can appreciate that she’s putting in the work, but for her to say her wealth and privilege has nothing to do with her being able to become a lawyer is disingenuous and frankly insulting to those of us studying law who don’t have even a fraction of her resources.

Holy shit, calm down.

I hate this woman and her stupid restaurant idea. Chinese food is already healthier (i.e. makes more use of veggies) than a lot of American food to begin with.

I suppose it’s not out of character for most introverts not to understand that, because they don’t think about anyone but themselves as a built in character trait of being introverted. They see the rest of the world as bothersome NPC’s in their personal game of life.

That reminds me that I still haven’t finished reading Bad Blood yet. Thank God the end of the semester is coming up and I’ll have time to actually read for fun.

I don’t blame them one bit. The UK tabloids have been absolute dicks to Meghan and she probably wants to keep her nutty family away from the whole situation as long as possible.

Oh my GOD, I hadn’t seen the Cruz Beard.  It makes him look even creepier.

Same! I still occasionally do a double take when I see my dad without the ‘stache.

I kind of agree with you. It may not read the way she intended it to sound, but it comes across as her being unwilling to meet someone half-way. Relationships take work on both sides. Like if I were to say “well no one’s stepping up to date me,” and never made an effort to go out to meet anyone...it’s not happening.

Oh I’m not disparaging anyone’s need to relax and unwind with friends, or that parental workload can vary from family to family because everyone’s situation is different. The women the article is about make it sound like they’re shouldering so much work - alone - that they can literally barely handle it without…

I’m not a mom (I know I’m not really cut out for child-raising) but my reaction to this is we should be demanding more accountability and responsibility from men. If women are turning to alcohol just to get through their days as moms because they’re shouldering so much of the work, something is seriously wrong with the…

I tried the whole “put your hair into a ponytail and just cut the split ends” thing before and it looked like garbage every time. My hair is straight and super fine, so I’m ok with spending a shit-ton of money now for color and a haircut just so I don’t look like an unkempt fourth grader. I only get my hair…

I usually get hair color/highlights at the same time as a cut so it’s considerably more expensive and takes more time, but I always do 20%, sometimes 30% if my stylist took extra time with me or went out of his way to accommodate my schedule.

He really still doesn’t know that Puerto Rico is part of the United States, does he.

Seriously. The model looked like she wanted to murder her.
