A quick definition of depositary:

A depositary is a person or a place where you can leave your money or valuable things to keep them safe. It's like a special safe where you can store your important things and know that they will be protected.

A more thorough explanation:

A depositary is a person or institution that you trust to keep your money or valuable items safe. For example, a bank is a depositary where you can keep your money in a savings account. Another example is a safe-deposit company where you can store your valuable items like jewelry or important documents.

John left his jewelry with a safe-deposit company as he was going on a long vacation.
The company's profits were deposited in a bank account, and the bank acted as the depositary for the funds.

The first example illustrates how a safe-deposit company can act as a depositary for valuable items. The second example shows how a bank can act as a depositary for a company's funds.

do you think it would be accurate or truthful if someone were to describe you that way?

i think he's worse actually. vets can be anything from infantry (probably kill one or two guys max) to support staff (kill nobody). if you make industrial weapons you are facilitating higher levels of violence

Fair, though I can step back and recognize my naivety and come to the conclusions I have. Rather than arguing that any attack against me in unjustified

NemoPropheta

22:36

But tbf I did get fired for being too politically outspoken

OlDirtyBtard

22:39

i mean honestly forget about attacking anyone. i think if you really care about these issues it's best to look at it from a systemic lens rather than spewing bile

also fwiw some of the biggest anti-war advocates are veterans. see the "winter soldier" protest movement during the Vietnam war

I wasnt infantry but every marine is a riffleman. I also didnt join for the financial need. I ended up leaving s footprint int he service by making policy to help service members with their immigration status/family member status for the DoD. Call it whatever you want but those are the meaningful things and experience I bring with me to Law School.

Sounds like you'll have plenty with which to dazzle admissions committees. Also sounds like nobody in here is a vet lol. Maybe try r/lawschooladmissions?

Or possibly even reach out to admissions offices at schools you're interested in. Often they have current students who serve as admissions ambassadors, and you can ask to be put in touch with someone who fits a specific profile (e.g., a veteran). Doesn't hurt to try, and showing early interest in a school is never a bad idea anyway (supposedly they keep track of contact with applicants/prospective students)

I am quite impressed by the civility and level of discourse in this chat, I have a lot of faith in the new generation's wisdom, kindness, and rejection of the status quo. I think we have some exceptional leaders rising up, and I am confident some of them are you. :)

Also, if u were a kid from 1990+, you had access to the most amount of information at once in human history. This made nuanced and critical thinkers. I am excited for the future. Make tech ur b, acquire knowledge, help people/make the world a better place. One step at a time.

Just hire 7 people to dress up as you and evade their surveillance, then after a while give yourself up but then switch out for one of your doubles
