I know it sounds cynical and petty, but knowing I earn 3x more compared to the kids who bullied me in high school does make me feel good

It gets even better if you go to the high school reunions! Recently went to my 5 year and it was honestly a nice confidence booster.

I feel this on a deep level. I was bullied HORRIBLY in high school and people treated me like dirt. I was a nice, quiet kid too, so I wasn’t asking for anything. I had a bit of a “glow up” once I hit college and post college and it makes me laugh that all of those people who bullied me back in the day are now following my social media, going “wow” at my career, life, etc. I’m not better than them and I forgive them for the past, but it’s still a nice feeling. I hope they’re better people now than they were back then!

At M3 you sound like the kids who always wanted me to come down and get drunk. Have to say I am quite happy and have never been arrested or drunk for that matter.

I went through puberty very late—MAJOR growth spurt sophomore year of college which is unusual especially for a woman. Guys who wouldn’t give me the time of day then suddenly saw me on social media and wanted to date me, and the girls wanted to be my friend. It was flattering but mostly made me see how shallow people really are.

EY6: I look at life the same way. I don’t have delusions of having 100+ friends but I do have a good circle of people I know well and who know me well. Having a large network, as I do, certainly helps, but I don’t know the vast majority of those people on more than a superficial level

This sounds petty too, but I really want to go back to the bar where I got into an argument with a Ravens fan about the “elite” Joe Flacco. He thought I was stupid, but who looks stupid now?🤷‍♂️

I was called names throughout school and college . And finally one day I told them “when we get out of here - I will do at least twice as well as you”. This kind of turned out to be true and couple of decades later , one of the bullies reminded me this story at our reunion . I had forgotten it by then but was glad it worked out that way

In high school the quarterback of our football team sexually assaulted me. His cheerleader girlfriend publicly blamed and shamed me, I was a very low income girl and never even told my parents about any of this, but I was a school pariah after that. I recently looked the cheerleader up on Facebook to discover she’s a lonely divorcee who went to community college and now lives alone in a rented apartment with a chihuahua. Ah revenge is sweet

TM litigation/TTAB: generally, I know you can't offer your own witness's discovery deposition testimony as evidence at trial except in certain circumstances (e.g., the witness is unavailable, need to complete the record in fairness etc.).

But can you attach your witness's prior dep. testimony as evidence (exhibit) via a SJ motion or opposition to a SJ motion even if none of the exceptions apply?

I'd appreciate input from seasoned lit professionals on here. Thanks!
