divesting

For some brief context: I haven't written anything non-academic in 13-ish years and felt like writing for fun. I decided to write about a breakup a year ago and just felt like sharing. Appreciate any thoughts!

Darkness flooded his vision. Briefly, he found himself able to shut it all out. For the first time that night, he heard the subdued roar of ocean waves sweeping dutifully into the shore. It was not that the water had been gentle all this time that they had been out there. It was that in the hours they had sat perched atop this lifeguard tower, mere footsteps and teenage uninhibition away from diving joyfully into the seawater, only now had the voices in his head, and the franti

Hi all,

I'm interviewing with a startup for an AGC position. The primary matters are review, negotiation and administration of purchasing contracts, non-disclosure agreements, software licensing, hardware distribution, service agreements, etc.

My experience in transactions is pretty minimal. I'm a first year attorney who has mainly been practicing in Bus./IP Litigation. Any and all advice as to how to best prepare for this interview would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has insight on what my day to day would look like and how I can sell myself best given my experience I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

1st year Commercial/IP litigation associate at a small firm in a major market. I'd like to switch to transactions sooner than later (corporate/entertainment/IP transactions are all okay, not too picky). I've reviewed some agreements at my firm but nothing substantial.

I have an interview coming up with an entertainment litigation firm which might be translatable since there's a lot of breach of contract litigation. I've applied to some transaction firms last week but haven't heard anything.

Would love to hear the experiences of anyone who successfully made a similar switch and how they managed it. Would also love any insight as to whether it's okay to continue working in litigation for a

Hey yall, lost one of my Dame 4 shoes this wknd which I'm pretty pissed about lol. Trying to get replacements but seems like Adidas isn't even listing them anymore at all? Anyone know if Adidas is planning to sell any more or should I head over to StockX? Google wasn't much help unfortunately.

Hi all,

Currently I'm in my first year post-grad of working in copyright litigation at a small firm on the West Coast (Median at T20-T30). I would like to lateral to a mid-sized or biglaw firm as soon as I can to develop good exit options (ideally would like to go in-house).

Ideally, I want to transition to more transactional work in Entertainment and Soft IP. It seems like I should probably switch to whatever firm might take me closer to that area and establish experience for a year or two.

Besides changing jobs to a more relevant position, is there anything else I can do to stand out as a candidate? I am a member of my State Bar's chapters for Entertainment/IP/Business Law but the eve

Hey all, I recently just obtained my first full-time position out of law school (graduated in 2018). To be brief, the primary question is: how hard is to switch from one completely unrelated practice area to another after your first full-time job? Here are some details.

I graduated from a T20-30 with about average grades, but stellar grades in IP. However, I am working across the country from where I went to school so I had 0 access to job portals in the area I live in and have to rely solely off of Indeed, google searches, etc., to find postings. Naturally, the firm quality is a lot lower as a result.

The job I am starting soon is in Immigration. I want to practice in soft IP ultimately

Hi guys, rn I'm a lv. 149 Shadower in Bera. I'm trying to figure out what sets I should be using. Is Pensalir or Chaos Root Abyss better?

If Pensalir is better, I tried farming it at Yellow Goblins (Goblin House) but found nothing. The drop rates at Kerning Tower were pretty lackluster and I can't seem to progress past the first map in Temple of Time. Any suggestions?

Would also appreciate any suggestions on where to hunt 140+ daggers.

Hi all,

I've been playing Gwent on/off the last few years and don't have a whole lot. Right now I'm rank 12 with a budget Dwarf deck (and I haven't even crafted its golds like Xavier Moran or anything). I'm standing on 1280 scraps right now and would like to start working toward building a Sco deck that I play longterm. Any advice on what is strong/fun to play or what options are available? I don't need to have the absolute best deck, just something that would be fun and competitive.

In addition, should I wait until after the Homecoming update to commit scraps instead, since the season's ending soon? Not sure if major changes will affect the deck I do build.

Hey all, quick question if anyone has taken Themis before.

I am reviewing all the law purely with the lecture handouts for each subject. I've never read the full outline for any of the subjects (didn't think it was efficient). This wasn't a problem for the first few subjects I was reviewing; right after fully reviewing an outline I'd usually score 60-65% on the PQs I took right after. Naturally some questions were a bit hard/obscure but that was expected.

However, I just finished a Con Law PQ after reviewing the outline and a lot of the material simply wasn't on the lecture handout and I missed much more than I did with other subjects. Did anyone else run into this issue a lot wit

Hey all, hope everyone is doing well. This is a pretty generic question (and I'm sorry if this can be asked elsewhere), but I'm wondering if a 3L has any chances at BigLaw after being rejected for OCI screeners. I only applied to interview with Knobbe (only California firm looking at 3Ls) and didn't get interviewed surprisingly, although I was screened last year with much lower grades.

I would like to work in soft IP but I'm pretty much open to anything that isn't too specialized. Mass mailing seems like the obvious option but I mass mailed last year (with pretty bad grades) and I had zero responses, although I think I covered basically every firm in the 100 and any reputable mid-size firm

The popular Chinese Sven build is to go MoM/SnY, which Burning did in the elimination game before going Blink afterward. Ramzes also went SnY in Game 5 v. OG.

What is the rationale for purchasing SnY? For Troll and Bloodseeker, the most common purchasers, I understand that it provides solid stats, an alright slow and movespeed increases for already fast heroes.

For both Sven and Alchemist, though, aren't there better, more cost efficient options? In Burning's match vs. VP, for example, he had to run into fights and frequently was hit by spells before he even arrived to follow up on IG's initiation. He also had to buy blink anyway, so why not rush blink earlier to capitalize on the power sp

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone who had experience working in-house would be willing to offer some advice on how to interview well for an in-house position. Specifically, are there key elements that in-house positions generally want to hear in comparison to interviews with law firms? I'm struggling to understand what they are looking for. I would appreciate if you all touched base on the various rounds as well (the first phone screener versus further interview rounds).

Just to give personal background, I had a screener last week with a national corporation and was rejected. I received another screener this week with a massive international film/media corporation and I'm not feeling

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I went through the FAQ to see if there's a sticky or subreddit for travel suggestions but I couldn't find anything. It's entirely possible that I missed it since it's late; if so I will happily move it to the proper place once I know where that is!

My friends and I (age 23-24) are going to Miami in the last weekend of January (27-30). We don't drink much so we are looking for non-alcoholic activities that we can do throughout the day and nighttime.

I'd really appreciate recommendations for any of the following:

• Active things to do that are cheap (water sports, beach activities, biking, stuff like that)
• Pool halls, bowling alleys, mini g
