One can also just get a screen protector that does that!

They all figured out pretty quickly that if they shoved books at me, I would not be disruptive.

I think about that a lot

He knows what it means. He's doing what he's been told to do.

"Turn off lawyer brain" is usually a solid indicator of that, yeah!

Interesting question! Comedies: probably Much Ado. Tragedies: Coriolanus - in part because I enjoy exploration of characters who aren't meant to be sympathetic to the audience.

lol no that's not how that works

Real common in legal aid to have to do it all yourself; taking five minutes to figure out how to auto-generate a TOC is worth it if it saves me hours later.

I'm laughing at all the stuff I had to figure out for myself, having never had a paralegal in a decade of legal work

This might actually be what gets me to switch.

They hire him because he's just as principled as they are.

11k. Mistyped.

Obama had wide margins at the same time Walker and R AGs were winning and the state legislature was tacking hard right. Go figure.

๐Ÿ™„ WI has been purple for a very long time, lest we forget that Gore won it by 5,700 votes in 2000, Kerry by 12k in 2004, and Scott Walker subsequently got elected twice. And then he lost, Biden won, and Ds kept gov in 2022. We know who we are. Apparently everyone else forgets real fast.

But what if she's *lying*

I keep getting stuck on this idea that dudes think their dicks are so magical they'll ruin a woman for anyone else. Pro tip: they are not.

I don't think a lot of women are going to think it crosses into funny.

Nearest for me is one great-grandparent. So I guess that makes me fourth generation.

Msn knitters guild canceled our knit-in the week before that. I was looking at what we'd have to pay instructors if we let it go any longer before making the call and arguing hard for it. A couple of folks said I was overreacting but we canceled anyway. And then Dane shut down, so.

Well that's a thing I didn't know I needed

I shout "Go Badgers!" by default and then get confused about who I'm actually cheering because there are a number of them on both teams (including Hilary Knight)

Not a justice department attorney. A JAG that they borrowed. For whatever that's worth.

Lost in 4 straight after going undefeated in the playoffs. ๐Ÿ˜ญ too much time off while they waited for the AL to catch up. My parents were at one of the games, my rally towel has a place of honor on my knickknacks shelf.

My rent went up $40/mo last year ๐Ÿ™„

Turns out new construction slows down when crews get thrown into detention

WI poll worker checking in! Happy to report zero shenanigans so far in today's primary at my city's biggest polling place.

Also I have looked at three different federal government websites and all three of them have different apostrophe placement.

A screenshot of the Mohela student loan website. It includes an announcement for Presidents' Day, that their offices will be closed on Monday, February 18. Due to the federal holiday weekend, payments may take up to five days to post two accounts. This delay will not change the effective date of the payment.

Remembered I still have to pay my student loans this month.

Not quite sure how to feel about the fact that Mohela and/or the Dept of Education don't know what year it is

I'm gonna guess student loans play a role in that. I have a mortgage's worth and no house. But I get rid of them at some point this year.

Five for me with a handful of "depends," because I will eat eggs scrambled but that's it, and I will eat deep-fried or grilled shramps but not cocktail shramps, etc.
