Model Kim Kardashian fails law exam for the second time, says this is really annoying
Kim Kardashian is bummed for failing her law exam. It seems her journey of becoming a lawyer keeps getting harder. On the finale episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashian’, Kim revealed that she had failed the baby bar for the second time
I failed! F–k! I failed,” the 40-year-old told her lawyers on the phone about her second attempt at the test. “This is really annoying.”
The mom of four said her score was “pretty much the same thing … (but) a little bit worse” than the first time she took it and failed.
”Total scaled score: 463. I pretty much got the same thing. I mean, a little bit worse,” she added.
As per Page Six, the baby bar is a test in California for first-year legal students who are not taking classes at accredited schools and are learning under a private tutor.
“I feel bummed, like totally bummed,” she said. “It is what it is, I know I just have to not stress about it, there’s so many other f—— things, stressful things, going on, I just have to do better in the future,” she added.
Kim’s sister Khloe, meanwhile, said some good words about how she gave the exams while she was sick with COVID-19. “I’m so annoyed,” Kim then told sister Khloé Kardashian on the phone. “You’re so supportive and I didn’t come through.”
“Honestly you had COVID, you had your 40th birthday, you’re dealing with so much, personally, in your relationship, and just quarantine in itself, and I really don’t think this last time counted,” said Khloe.
“Kim is dealing with a lot of other things at the same time – the fact that she had COVID and with the show and her relationship with Kanye, so I think you must give herself a little credit just for taking the baby bar,” she told the cameras.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
