The reminder app in ios has me asking to tap a star to review and rate it on the app store.
These effing app surveys, even in the most utilitarian and mundane of apps! Popping up after being in the app a minute TO REVIEW AND MAKE REMINDERS?!?
It’s like intentionally targeted to foil adhd people
Oddly, my first law job (admin, pre law school) i worked for a partner who was in his 40s who taught me men existed to do want to have it all and showed me how and encouraged me to chase that goal by helping me balance work and evening law school and becoming a parent. All praise the good ones!
As a mentee, I might have asked this question mostly because I already knew the 55 yo man was trash and not doing it all. I wanted to do it all. That’s what I wanted, so I wanted to know how. 55 yo man least likely to not have the insight on that one
put me on the list of eager readers - that seems tight!
Grateful for the context from this post:

get in loser we’re being prosocial we’re paying our taxes we are NOT stealing from whole foods
“On this year” - final answer after poring over a Victorian handwriting style illustration. And it makes sense, I think we were saying such things in different words about 2020.
Like, was the letter bad news? Tyndall seems to be saying “fuck this last year nothing redeeming about it”
year! does the concept of year work? I feel like i need more context. Brb becoming a Tyndall scholar since I can’t sleep anyways
Ah the… Fuel? Gruel? Day? I am really enjoying this, sorry for the stream of conscious guesses
this quote feels so familiar to me! Did Eliot ever quote him? Alas, a brief googling session did not find where I feel like I know this from for hints. i want to say the first worst is “Ah” though, which makes sense in a poetry line / postscript
possibly coming soon for him, an affirmative answer to another question from that screening:
have you ever lost a job because of your drinking?
Boss: Did you make me one of those statistical stopping rule algorithms I asked for?
Mathematician-philosopher: Sure did, boss, with a largely misogynistic concept and illustration, just like you asked
I have notifs turned all the way off but I am also very good at compulsively checking my phone every few hours so it hasn’t been too much of an issue yet
not animal science folk but child just adopted a tortoise AND TORTOISES DO IT TOO. shook us all, tbh
My high school speech & debate coach used to say: “The secret of life is knowing when to stop.”
Little did I know there is an actual “stopping rule.” to help explain why!
work maybe a no, technically, but amongst long happily married couples I know, work friendships were the foundation upon which they were built (coming up on 18 years married in July, but met him at work twenty years ago this month)
BE THE CHANGE!
I remain firmly convinced you can learn everything you need to know about a person from one question:
Would you rather a "DESERVING" person go WITHOUT or an "UNDESERVING" person go WITH?
Great short story about art, theft, cops sucking as usual, and restorative justice. Read this thread!
I love this essay, not least because some colleagues and I just a few months ago went to Yestermorrow School of Design Build on a retreat to build democratic benches!
“Public benches signify a commitment to public life. They’re a small article of faith in an ideal”
(doesn’t solve for unauthorized ppl doing bad shit but it did help alert me to the couple of times people did bad shit a lot sooner than later)
you might like YNAB. It was a game changer for me
I daresay we never got all that far from that attitude. The 21st century continues to disappoint.
I hate it tho. I hate that we’ve regressed to “they had it coming” by virtue of being born into a sexually commodifiable body.
When will we stop playing rock paper scissors with crimes and corruption?
And the only reason the financial crimes seem “worse”?! I guess if our society treats the abuse and exploitation of children/young women as mundane, common, expected, then I guess? 🤷♀️
Doh! I should have been reading more carefully. I plead insomnia, and I thank you for your care and attention!! 💕
This raises an interesting philosophy of law sort of question re “victimless” crimes.
what say you, philosophers and legal scholars: Are there Victimless Crimes?
I really hated crim law, my absolute worst grades in law school.
It looks like they might call it “the particulars” in crim law?
