RANDOM RANTS XLVI: Slightly More Than a Month-ly Edition #1

[madviking]

Doesn't NY have the most difficult bar exam?

 

[SamSniped]

Ugh. This is a complete charlie foxtrot.
I have a crush on a girl who I have been best friends with since the start of the school year, and we talk a lot. Of course, she has a crush on someone else, and that person has a crush on her too. She is always talking about him with me and two other mutual friends, and she and her crush are dating now. It honestly hurts, sometimes.
Sorry if this sounds a bit childish, but hey, this is the rants thread. That's what it's for

 

[Optical]

I've been there... fairly recently even. That feeling absolutely sucks.

No, not really. It has an outsized reputation though. The most difficult is California with 18 hours of testing over 3 days. Washington, Virginia and Louisiana are also hard, its Louisiana's own fault though. Who the hell told them to adopt Code Napoleon?

California's numbers are probably distorted though because they let candidates sit for the bar exam without attending ABA accredited law schools. So you could do an apprenticeship with a lawyer or go to the People's College or do an online course and then sit for the bar exam. That's probably what contributes to its high failure rate .

New York is a bit difficult but not exceptionally so.

 

[Takhisis]

Codified law according to the continental system is always better than common law.

 

[ace99]

Not when the 47 other states all follow common law along with all the important countries in the world.

 

[Takhisis]

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, China, Japan all follow codified law.

 

[ace99]

Exactly.

Who the hell told them to adopt Code Napoleon?

Napoleon, I think.

 

[Takhisis]

O I c wut u did thar

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

It is damned irritating when you sneeze loudly at 2 am in a house full of sleeping people -- the kind of house where everyone hears everything.

Bonus points for extra sneezes.

 

[Mathalamus]

I have a cold.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Apparently being forced to wait for 20 minutes to have your order taken means you should only take 1% off the tip percentage.

 

[dutchfire]

I don't think that thing is very serious.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I certainly hope it isn't.

 

[SamSniped]

If I have to wait 20 minutes in a non-high class restaurant...
1% off would be a blessing from the gods.

 

[JohannaK]

I dont pay tips. Almost nobody ever does. At least down here. Well, there is a tip when you go to a restaurant but its pretty reduced stuff anyway.

Sucks. Did you ever make a move or indicate to her you were interested?

 

[ace99]

Was facebook always a place to confess your dark secrets? I thought that used to be livejournal.

I log into FB and what do I see from my FB acquaintances? :

A long facebook post from someone revealing that their parents are abusive and continually beats her siblings

A long facebook post from someone else about how their friend was just murdered

A long facebook post from someone about how their father comitted suicide

A long facebook post post about a struggle with some exotic and potentially fatal disease


Kids....facebook is not your blog. I don't want to read about that. I really don't care.

 

[JohannaK]

Yep. That's what the Rants Thread is for.
