Doing A Law Degree at 42 (and with AI)
Iβve always found the law terrifying. Boring.
Simply because it was cheap, I did a conversion Law Degree last year.
Have written here about what it was like, how AI did and didnβt help, and why the experience felt like playing 1990s football manager games.

No pic because it felt disrespectful but I laughed at the display of a "vampire" skeleton where the bones had been secured to the ground by stakes/nails/chains and ... some plastic zip ties

According to the display on the other wall you could take a little mouse doll and tie it up with string and stick pins in it to prevent that happening.

And we teach teenagers what is "not ok" behaviour from their employers at their part time jobs. I'm sure I did a PSHE on it at some point.

I'd like to see this reframed as women increasing our own self worth and thus lowering our tolerance for poor treatment. Like how over time we block ppl on social media more quickly over smaller behaviours.

If there's a written transcript I'll just turn the sound off. Can't stand videos. I can read! I can read quite a lot faster than someone reading it out loud to me π Just let me read it.

God what is wrong with these men who "playfully" shove their girlfriends into the path of traffic, seen it multiple times now. He did it to her and then she IMMEDIATELY trotted up to walk next to him and then he did it AGAIN

I'm sure I heard someone on a podcast talk about this except it was an app that used the flash on the back of your phone to do the strobing light.

Oh it's definitely NOT any sort of "museum exhibition". One of these "experience" things. Mentally adding [citation needed] to every second text panel π but I enjoyed it! The key is don't think too hard.

One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.
