culpable negligence

Read a random definition: vouch over

A quick definition of culpable negligence:

Culpable negligence is when someone fails to take reasonable care in a situation where they should have known that their actions could cause harm to others. It is a type of negligence that involves carelessness and disregard for the safety of others, but not necessarily intentional harm. It can also be called gross negligence or reckless negligence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Culpable negligence is a type of negligence that involves a disregard for the consequences of one's actions, even if they were not intentional. It refers to conduct that falls below the legal standard of care established to protect others against unreasonable risk of harm. It is also known as actionable negligence, ordinary negligence, or simple negligence.

Examples: An example of culpable negligence is a doctor who fails to diagnose a patient's serious illness, even though the symptoms were clear. Another example is a driver who speeds through a red light and causes an accident. In both cases, the individuals acted with a disregard for the safety of others and failed to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation.

Explanation: Culpable negligence is a legal term that refers to conduct that is more than just careless or inadvertent. It involves a conscious disregard for the safety of others and a failure to exercise reasonable care. The examples illustrate how culpable negligence can lead to serious harm or injury to others. In both cases, the individuals had a duty to exercise reasonable care, but they failed to do so, resulting in harm to others.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
