Sweden, for example, has something like 480 days at ~80% salary split between two parents, 60 days to be taken together. Meanwhile, the US remains the only industrialized nation other than Papua New Guinea without guaranteed maternity/paternity leave. Because freedom.

FTFY

seriously though.

Are you taking 5 more PTs before Saturday

No. But feeling pretty I love LSAT what with only 60 hours to go.

Haha, yes, sorry left out that key word -- *paid* leave. Like, have fun paying the hospital bills and taking care of your newborn without any cash money. In fact, the company I was working for was considering abandoning paid leave under FMLA because it could be discriminatory against women of non-childbearing age (wtf?!). Anyway, it's so shameful how our legislation treats/frames fatherhood. Fist to the sky.

Why can't every LSAT be like PT 66? I just took it and got a 170, and did that with 2 nephews fighting non-stop and a dog laying behind me licking herself.

FATHERHOOD UNITE.

I mean historically fatherhood is a cultural construct and serves no purpose evolutionary

Drop the seed and done

well having two distinct parents does serve an evolutionary purpose, but either way that's neither here nor there, one cannot derive a moral "ought" from an evolutionary "is" anyway

Coincidentally, those are my measurements. Wink wink.

It's embarrassing to admit, but I just drew a Venn diagram for that problem, which made it a lot easier. I was pretty tired by then.

So, I did half a section of LR at lunch, 1-15. Then just went to finish said section on the train, while half falling asleep because I am undercaffienating myself in an attempt to go to bed earlier, 16-25. I go to grade.

Okay.

1-15, -0
16-25, -6

My response? HAHAHAHA.

You'll both be caffeinated on Saturday, though, so don't worry too much about these misses!
