I internally scoff every time someone who worked 60h+ week and travel extensively says that their family comes first. I grew up in the circle of kids in similar circumstances and I cannot stress enough how delusional that is. So many kids who treat their parents like a fountain of cash with a bit of love sprinkled in. At least a fair amount of the parents learnt to regret it later on in life.

How do you incorporate warm up/bell ringer problems so that kids actually complete the problems and not just use that time to socialize?

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Do you know if we can travel outside the US (to India) while the visa transfer to a new firm is in progress?

Websites, links you use to book travel for a schengan visa application? Looks like we need to have a ticket itinerary but I don’t wanna book until visa is approved.

Hey all, I started this bowl a couple years ago as I got into travel hacking. I going to start regular “referral posts” where everyone can share their referral links to cards, etc. if you’re going to sign up anyway, might as well give someone a referral bonus, right?! I’ll start in the comments - please post: (1) the card & bank, (2) the bonus specified by your credit card to the NEW user (not to you), (3) the link. If someone has already posted your card, just post your ref link as a reply.

What is a good credit card to get for travel?

Recently got in a relationship with this girl for a few weeks and we’ve had our differences because we’re two very different people learning about each other / trying to find a middle ground. She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll

Hey all!

Travel for work is starting again & naturally (after being benched since 2020) I have 0 status on any airline.

Do you have advice on how to hack my way back to having status? Pref on United / American.

Work is asking me to be in office 1x a week next year. Puppy will be 4 months old and right now I take him out to potty 13x a day. What should I do when I have to work? Work is 20m away from apartment and I can definitely come back at lunch for an hour, but should I just put him in daycare for the day? How do people with kids handle this??

I'm looking for a place to travel for a 5 day break in June. Want sunshine and warmth, don't care where except outside US & Canada. Recommendations place, and who is coming with!

Was back in the office for the first time since Covid. It’s been really nice seeing everyone again and rekindling old relationships but something about being back just feels off to me.
Covid changed a lot and it’ll be tough to go back to the old ways but it all just feels so different. Idk if I’m in culture shock or this just isn’t for me anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

Squid games, but when you get eliminated, you get fired.

Anyone been to Langkawi? Debating between ritz or st Regis and hoping for some reviews. Any other information would be helpful too! Thanks

Motions
I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol

Accidentally left my apartment door ajar… realized it while I was in my front bathroom, peeing, and I heard brand-new Neighbor Guy in the hall. Jumped up mid-stream and verrry softly closed closed my door… Neighbor Guy SLAMMED his in response. 😳😳
(It’s the slam that’s killing me… pretty sure that was meant like, “ Fuck you, you careless, disgusting little URINATOR!” I’m on month two of a two-year lease, so fuck me indeed. 😭)

Nothing gets me angrier at the world or triggers my existential crisis more than an unnecessarily mean judge. Whether they're mean to me or someone else.

I’m having a hard time staying motivated this month and next our kinda slow months for us. I don’t have a ton of billable work (neither do my peers) we have some trainings but not enough to take up the whole day. How do you stay motivated and engaged during off season ?

Re Delta Karen - it’s a dick move to call someone a bitch when they’re clearly having a meltdown and are not mentally well.

To the Russian 🐠, Russian culture is filled with an irreplaceable history! From Russia, we got amazing pieces of art, novels, ballet, architecture, music, and even tetris. Russian people have always proven themselves to be a resilient and strong people in the face of difficult situations. Even when their issue was internal. From its people, the world has so much more cultural richness. None of what is happening in Ukraine is your fault. Be proud of your heritage.

Who else is ready to take a nap? 😴
