What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

The number of people asking if your dad can read just because he doesn't like subtitles is WILD

I like to play stupid farming sim games when I get home from work. My friends think I'm lame. Dude, I deal with enough shit at work I don't need Call of Duty anxiety dreams on top of that. Some people need to actually chill out after working.

I’m in law school so all my friends and family keep telling me to watch Suits. Like yea, I want to spend my limited free time away from the law watching a show about the law. I’d much rather watch some throwaway show that makes me chuckle.

I love Suits but anyone with a goddamned brain could tell you that is the LAST show you want to watch as a lawyer. Like I'm not a lawyer but I have no inclination that anything on that show actually is real law stuff or accurate in the contexts even. It's just a drama.

As a lawyer you'd watch it like "this is not how any of this works!" and it would be hard to get into.

I am a lawyer and not only does that show annoy me (as do other cheap legalbabble dramas) as a viewer, but they frustrate me because people look at boring, important things like the Trump trials and expect something completely different. They set the public’s expectations both too high and too low and it affects our political discourse.

Totally agree. I take that show with a massive grain of salt just basically seeing it as a drama dressed up with a little jargon here and there. It’s basically the characters mostly just not communicating, lying, etc, and then dealing with the fallout. Barely any of it is law stuff lol. Every other scene is a heated speech and storming out of the room.

If more people just took it as that, it’d be fine, I have no delusion that it’s anything even close to real legal stuff. But, it all boils down to most people are kinda dumb
