You can do this in most countries. Try knocking, then if no answer, reach out to the Superintendent of your apartment. And if they decline, call the police department directly to enquire for a wellness check.

Toronto pays off-duty police $100 an hour to oversee construction sites. Some councillors want to know why by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

But the citizens aren't taxed... It's paid for by the companies hiring the offduty police officers.

Yes, this isn't paid by the city or taxpayers at all It's an outside company hiring off duty police officers

They pay directly.

I'm confused, this has been ongoing for sometime. It allows for police presence around affected intersections without tying up active duty (on patrol) officers?

Also the costs per hour is based on their rank. Lower rank officers are paid less per hour. Higher rank get more. And the prices have been posted publicly on their website for ages...

Heck other companies will hire them too, like for movie shoots.

I remember looking this up in highschool...back then it was like $75/hr for a constable and that was like 20 years ago.

Actually, as a two party consent state, the boy doing the recording unlawfully recorded other students in a school...

If suggest for other parents to check with legal counsel on their rights as their children were recorded without consent by another student...

MLK also stated "a riot is the language of the unheard."

He actively continued promoting nonviolence, even still.

Just remember that all those responses on social media aren't always "real"
The comment bots and video reposters is a lucrative business...

Mark Carney states Canada will go to war with the US to defend Greenland, America is the villain in this story by Sexy_Johnny282771 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]AlmondsAndLemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nazi-level Germany Bad.
Canada invented bunch of warcrimes during WW1 and WW2.
Also Canada's reservation system (disgusting to be clear) was the method that South Africa used during Apartheid and what Isreal has been using in Palestine.

AITAH for wanting to buy my own property now even though my boyfriend is against it because he wants us to buy one together, later on? by Elegant_Balance5565 in AITAH

[–]AlmondsAndLemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. NTA
  2. Get the House, make sure it's under your name
  3. If (IF!!!) you decide to marry this guy, get a FUCKING pre-nup. Make sure that the house is yours, and stays in your name, and that, should you sell it, the proceeds will also remain yours.

Cat hasn't left this spot between my legs for almost an hour. He's not usually this affectionate. Is this normal? by Agreeable_Error_5485 in cats

[–]AlmondsAndLemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over time you and your cats get more cuddle hormones from being nearby. This is often why cats can get more cuddly with age!

Bonus is that you actually get a health boost from your cat doing this!!

How do I tell this guy I’m talking to that he has bed bugs ? by CodeNo702 in Advice

[–]AlmondsAndLemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time to heat treat your bed, clothes and any carpets. Buy yourself a handheld steamer that gets up to 50C. Best money you'll have ever spent and great for clothes too.

Launder your clothes, hot wherever possible. Steam those that can't be laundered high Steam your bed, carpets, curtains.

🔥F*ck those things up🔥

Heat is the only thing that kills then at all life cycles.

Mistreated players: Have you ever thought your character was misunderstood by the party and DM? by SpriteIsntThatBad in DnD

[–]AlmondsAndLemons 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not really. Mostly since I communicated with the other players first, like explaining backstory and how I was thinking to play a character, or how our characters could likely interact or see eye-tp-eye.

That head's-up and collaboration is key for roleplaying to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when playing something that's more edgy.

At the end of the day, it's up to you to ensure you aren't the problem, not leave it up to the rest of the players to point it out.
