The shrew poasts really got to me. The notion of the shrew is so deeply ingrained and treated as so self-evident here that it's an axiom at the core of bort's collective consciousness.

It was fall of 2011. I had just been offered a 2L SA gig at a v10 firm and I thought I had set myself up for a life of prestige and prosperity. Smugly I searched the internet for vindication and validation and somehow stumbled onto this place. BOY WAS I IN FOR A SHOCK.

Some of my early posting was on "phd in teenage Inuit suicide prevention", where I was mocking some loser in a coffee shop senior year of ug. Also had some even earlier posts on "Asian watching CNN as if they're American" from a lounge on campus junior year. Guess it all just made sense early on.

There actually used to be threads on the LSAT. Hilarious.

The racism was shocking, but the board leaned much more left in the mid-2000's. I remember trying to immigration thread once in 2007 and people asked me if I was serious.

Lurked at all of the Leiter and law suit stuff. Board was garbage for long stretches during 2011-2016. Surprisingly decent now. Trump seems to have helped

Edit: it also really helped when Rach came back for a bit and reenergized the place

I was in shock at how vulgar and nasty very intelligent people in good jobs were. I was in college and i had always grown up trying to be "successful" since i grew up in a poor, mexican immigrant family. But i was captivated at the insight on life the bort had. I learned a lot here about investing, COL analysis, and liberals. I remember a thread called "you cant be more hipster than this chick" and i just laughed.
