willful indifference to the safety of others

Read a random definition: family farmer

A quick definition of willful indifference to the safety of others:

Willful indifference to the safety of others means that someone intentionally disregards the safety of others and doesn't take proper care to prevent harm. This is more serious than just making a mistake or being careless. It can include things like knowingly putting others in danger or not doing anything to stop a dangerous situation. It's important to always prioritize safety and take responsibility for our actions to prevent harm to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Willful indifference to the safety of others means intentionally or recklessly disregarding the safety of others, such as failing to take reasonable steps to prevent harm or ignoring a known danger.

Examples:

  • A driver who knowingly drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol, putting other drivers and pedestrians at risk.
  • An employer who fails to provide safety equipment or training to employees, despite knowing the risks of the job.
  • A property owner who ignores a hazardous condition on their property, such as a broken staircase, and does not take steps to fix it or warn visitors.

These examples illustrate willful indifference to the safety of others because the individuals or entities involved knew or should have known that their actions or inactions could cause harm to others, but chose to disregard the risks and prioritize their own interests instead.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
the dissapointing part of it is that I feel like I get the question and then it ends up being the opposite
i remember how i felt taking the official lsat. I was confident, no issues or nerves what so ever...i walked out happy feeling like I crushed it....yeah, I crushed it alright
10:49
I choked on test day more than not
10:49
Out of 4 takes (that I studied for, 5 total takes), I only feel like I hit my potential in one of them

you got a 172. thats awesome
yeah man thats really good
if you dont mind, what was your initial score and how long did it take you to get to 172?
10:50
Yeah I actually ran out of time on my last LSAT, which I never did once in practice. Test day performance can vary wildly

i keep my page on private but i like to creep on others heehee

Diagnostic was 159, scored 172 officially 7 months later
wow that is awesome!
ive been studying for 2 months now, planning on taking my last in September
10:52
had a 165 official score in the middle, was PTing low 170s and ran into a really hard LG section
wasnt till yesterday that I got my first practice test a 178
10:53
if you can make time to do one PT a week, I'd recommend it. Even just a 3 section test
10:53
maybe not now but starting a few months out from the test
10:55
different people do better with different studying strategies. I was a regular PTer but some people I know only practiced questions and rarely PTed
10:56
I second the PTs. I think its important to replicate the test day environment with full, timed practices
10:57
in moderation

10:58
I am working on my weakest questions and will do a pt later on

I think the anxiety about the time constraint is going away for me the more I pick up on these q's

I’m an LSAT tutor. The two biggest pieces of advice I give everyone are to practice prephrasing (have an idea of what you think the correct answer will look like before looking at the choices) and use a wrong answer journal
11:02
Don’t do a PT every week if you’re not going to take the time to understand the answers you got wrong fully and work on them, or you’ll just run out of new material with nothing to show for it
Calm down ellen
Prephrasing is one strategy and is key for the loophole system, but many more do not use it all
Takes time
11:04
in the buildup to my best score, I was taking 2-3 PTs a week, but I made sure to save the more modern ones for the months leading up
But when good, you should be able to read stimulus and know lsat well enough to basdically guess what the question will be and what the answer will be. Like you read the stem and go "this is so obvious a flaw question, it is variable B"
OMG vandy enough with the feelers i aint sending a LOCI

@PremiumFrequentCrane: fr. if you wait like 5 months to respond I'm not writing a loci lol
