He got his days and nights mixed up playing online poker, gaining weight by gorging on Papa John’s and porn, living like a hoarder, skipping all his law school classes, never studying, being depressed, and “contributing to a legal blog” a/k/a The Thunderdome with Excellent Posts on Loserdom. The fact he was able to lift himself out of this suicidal ideation and depression and go on to be the successful Chinese SAT hustler and father he is today is truly a EPIC miracle.

The MTG world is literally the Loser of all the niche worlds I've inhabited - compared to pro poker or even e-sports, MTG is even more overweight, ass-crack-showing, neckbeard male-dominated. I partially blame all the Big Pharma poison I was popping before I moved to the East. They really made me feel like living that way wasn't *that* bad. Only without the numbing qualities of anti-depressants and mood stabilizers could I properly hit rock bottom and fix my horrid life habits. The rest I blame on immaturity, having grandiose delusions that needed correction, and not getting laid. I probably could've been a fairly good lawyer if I had my present-day habits back then. Most of my personality hasn't changed, though. No one's really does in their 30s. If you knew me back then, I was like 50 lbs heavier, a bit more cynical, but still pretty much the same as today.

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:54:51 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #12051632 20 years ago I was an abject failure across every metric except for my gifts in web application programming and my success in my trial advocacy class. I don't really want people to remember the me from 2002-2005. In 2005, 2005-era me was in his third year of law school, was an arrogant egomaniac, and was a complete failure and hopeless with normal social experiences such as dating. He wasted no opportunity to share the fact of his supergenius intellect with everyone, which he eventually learned nobody cares about. He should have done something else than law school, probably with computers. I'm not complaining because I mostly like how things turned out, but at the same time, what the fuck. My 20-year law school reunion this year is going to be really interesting.

There's maybe one AUSA, one corporate general counsel, a bunch of refugees from BigLaw who retired early, and numerous no-name or unknown small firm owners. There is literally no one from my era of law school still practicing in my area with any success. I appear to be the last man standing as a small law firm owner, because folks just don't survive doing this.
