You're back!

I'm pretty sure some freaked out CA taker would find a way to impale you with it.

Or record the elements of various tort claims on it.

(Hello! Nice to see you! The exam will be over soon!)

just someone who made a well informed, thought through decision about what bar exam to take that was definitely not influenced by other students around her and/or confusion over how reciprocity works here to gain some helpful knowledge on how to pass

do children know how to play outside without screaming, and do adults know how to enjoy nice weather without cleaning their yard with gas powered tools it's the question of the ages

Ah im not the only one with neighbor noise. Like kids bouncing basketballs or dragging toys on the sidewalk right by the building. And I'm by the apartment pool, so ive told management the words Marco and polo should be banned as part of the pool rules and those people should be evicted.

I tried asking my boyfriend if he would make his herd-of-elephant upstair neighbors disappear but he accused me of solicitation, ugh.

(He actually made a crim joke, this is not just me trying to be funny.)

fidget spinners are per se unreasonable so probably not

ugh basketballs are the worse. the family in the house next to my parents has like eight boys under ten and has a basketball hoop that im this close to tearing down in the dead of the night

the irony about the noise is that the religious makeup of my parents' neighborhood is such that it is most quiet from friday at sundown till early saturday afternoon so that's like my best working hours (identity politics lets me make this observation)

^ wrong RE bolded

and as an avid fidget spinner lover, I wouldn't dream of bringing one into an exam room

edit: I know this is a joke but fwiw it's damn near impossible to get accommodations even that are reasonable in a lot of jurisdictions (NY, TX, CA for sure)

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072L ... UTF8&psc=1

and I love it. It makes no noise at all. It's not big or weird or like sharp or flashy. Recommended.

so is this just in general a humorless subforum or has tls just gone down the tubes in the last 18 months?

not a rap on this particular thread just some overall observations (trying to avoid the lounge for obvious reasons)

I keep a fidget spinner in a drawer at my desk. I probably use it 2-3 times a day.

The bar forum is notoriously insane from stress, and has been since it was opened. (TLS may well have gone down the tubes, too, but this subforum is its own special thing.)

Hmmm I guess I know I'm insane too, cause it seems pretty reasonable to me right now...

Crap, i didn't even know there were fidget cubes. I've broken like 4 fidget spinners in the past month, I will have to try a fidget cube.

My bar admissions sent us a letter and it didn't mention fidget spinners. It did say no weapons, knives, tasers, or stun guns. And they would be taking the wand to us at the door to check us for those. I'm taking it in S. Carolina not Rikers Island.
