Hello, relatively new to this sub and looking into beginning law school in California next fall in 2027 as I transition out of the military. Because of my ETS date I won’t be back to California until December of 2027. I’m in contact with the admissions office about starting remote online in the fall and then once I move back in December doing my spring classes and the rest of law school in person. Has anyone any expierence with 1L online? Or any experience transitioning from online to in person? Or would it be better to wait until fall of 2028 when I am back in California and doing law school in person from the start?

Thanks!

Watching 5th wheel for the first time and the show overall for the first time. I like Kevin and overall his character is great but this addict plot in season 2 and rehab episode is just pathetic to me. Brother is nearly 40, a rich actor with a loving family and is wallowing over not getting enough attention as a child from his parents. Before everyone jumps down my throat about Jack dying, I know that fucked him up and that’s like a major theme of the show. But holy shit man you didn’t get enough attention as a child and are using that as a crutch at almost 40. Good lord, especially since the show shows in flashbacks he was just a fucking dick and that’s why he didn’t as much attention. Not because the world was out to get him. Not sure what the point of this rant was but this episode just PMO sorry yall💀

Sorry if this is going to seem poorly worded or maybe it’s something that’s talked about a lot on this page.
I genuinely genuinely genuinely fucking hate having a newborn. I love my son, and I love being a dad. It’s been the greatest most life changing three weeks of my life. But I fucking hate nearly everything about having a newborn. All he does is cry, shit, piss, throw up on himself and cry again. During the day he requires near 24/7 fucking attention when he’s awake or else he screams his head off. At least during the day my wife doesn’t mind spending the majority of the time with him while he’s awake. And it’s really not terrible throwing on a tv show and holding him while he’s awake during the day so he’ll relax. But at night? Oh my god I have had to literally place my son down and walk away at times because I just do not know what to do and I’m so frustrated. He screams and screams and screams and screams. He’ll sometimes sleep in his bassinet for about an hour or so, but it requires a several hour ritual before hand of diaper changes, breastfeeding and soothing him until he’ll be quiet and go to sleep. And there is not one thing that consistently works with him. It’s literally a guessing game of wives tails to sooth him. One night it’s walking him, one night it’s rocking him, one night it’s swaddling and every time it feels like a giant guessing game. Even now as I write this I am sitting in our nursery cooling off because my wife also had a meltdown midway through midnight breastfeeding and handed me a screaming half fed baby to “sooth” while she went and did cooled off. After 20 minutes of this dude screaming at me no matter what I did (and puking all over my back and chest) she took him back to finish feeding him. It’s exhausting thinking about this is just my life now at least for a few more weeks. I just feel like I can’t even bond with him or connect because everything is so frustrating or I’m so exhausted with him. And honestly? He’s not even a bad baby. No colic, he will sleep in his bassinet, occasionally gives us 2-3 unbroken hours, so really not bad. My wife is great too, she does all the feeding and burping and all I have to do is diaper changes. And I still hate this. Maybe if little man had SOME personality or independence I would feel better but genuinely this feels like I am taking care of a needy object rather than my son. Maybe I’m just being ungrateful, I know there are some people that would kill to have this time back or even have a chance to have this time at all. But I’m tired, I don’t know how to connect with him, and I feel like I’m failing as a dad because of it.

TLDR; does having a baby get better? Am I a terrible person for not loving this phase of life?

I don’t know how to say this but I guess does anyone else genuinely enjoy saluting officers as enlisted? Everyone my rank and in my circle always talks about how much they hate having to give customs and courtesies. However I absolutely love giving the greeting of the day and popping up a crisp salute and being told the response. I feel like I am sooo in the army when that happens. I feel as though this is probably not normal but maybe I will find my people here.

TLDR: I think I enjoy saluting officers too much
