June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

Bleghhhhhhh the LSAT ain't gonna change in time for any (or most) of us, so idk why it's a point of huge interest. It's like the drinking age law. Once you turn 21 you stop caring about how bullshit it is.

Would rather debate about burgers/tacos

Wait--what about burgers/burritos

We can do that.

I'd pick burgers for sure, altho I do love a breakfast burrito.

That's like picking a favorite child

A-are you saying that's something most moms DON'T do?

eh I know plenty of people who thought the same back when the drinking age was 18 (or buying tobacco was 18) until the drinking age changed and screwed them all over again (or people could finally buy cigarettes and then suddenly couldnt)

Are you like 50 years old, who are these people you're referring to? Or was it recently changed in some specific state?

Post-LSAT all I wanted was a strawberry margarita and chicken tacos from this place down the street. Literally had been planning it out for days. Then my boyfriend decided to go to the gym after work and didn't get home in time for happy hour and I lost my ID so no margarita for me ): I'm a little embarrassed about how upset I got over that.

OK, so it's unofficial. What happens if they get it wrong? Do you get refunded?

How many people are they hiring to man those phones? Do they already have the staff to coordinate this, or are they going to be relying on enough people spending $100 for an extra few hour head start on nothing to fund part time salaries for a large number of people?

I'm with Bird, I don't get why there's any need to spend large amounts of money and potentially inconvenience people by reducing the number of test centers and/or increasing the cost of administration. Sure, there are very unique one-off situations, but making changes to accommodate those at the expense of everyone else seems like a bad idea to me.

As anxious as y'all are, you get absolutely no benefit from learning early. Use this extra time to go find some Xanax or something.

If it's just an automated system they would need very little manpower, like you just call the hotline, dial in your LSAC number, and they list off your score. Sure there's no material benefit, but clearly the emotional cost isn't nil--and we are customers, after all. Law schools are already accepting the GRE which drew the scorn of LSAC but the support of pretty much every other accredited law school. They're going to have to start acting like they exist in a competitive marketplace eventually.

...you're going to take the GRE instead because they didn't give you your score fast enough?

hurr

I mean, it's not a strawman - it's literally your argument. You said they should provide scores early (for a fee) in order to keep people from going to their competitor.

A good breakfast burrito is one of my favorite things ever. There's a place by me that only does them on weekends which is disappointing because they're practically life-changing.

it's way too early to say it's not today, this is like not even the time it would go grey -_-

What time has it traditionally gone grey?

my age is irrelevant, point is just bc u reached the age where you can do specific things, doesn't mean that age restriction can't change when you "stop caring about how bullshit it is"

e: also yes obvi 50... what kind of person knows others older than themselves right?

I also eat Whole Foods bean and cheese freezer burritos for breakfast all the time. With a lil' avocado. Tasty, delightful, sorta lowcal, nutritious

Unless your parents are 30, you, too, know people who remember when the drinking age was 18. For your own sake I hope your reading comprehension isn't actually that poor.

I'm 22 and in New York they actually changed the cigarette-purchasing age to 21 after I turned 18 and could have legally bought them.

It was extremely annoying.

These ones have scrambled eggs, hash browns, cheese, and sausage, so I feel like I'm on the verge of a clogged artery after eating one but 10/10 definitely worth it.

The eggs in brekky burritos are very manageable for me because there is so much else going on in there and hot sauce and they're wrapped in a carb etc etc

I wasn't a fan of breakfast in general before coming to college. I'm glad that I've been enlightened though.
