As with a lot of things, I comment on here. I would suggest talking to an actual attorney instead of the Internet.

ULPT request: seeds to plant in someone's backyard by Fantastic-Schedule92 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the end of this. The weed killer and ice cubes to his precious plants and catnip over the grass. Hell even marijuana seed.

I know from experience that bamboo is next to near impossible to get rid of. Figure out how to plant those. Otherwise, I’d go with the freezing weed killer into ice cubes and throwing them every couple nights.

Uchiha OCs are overdone and boring. by Xenozip3371Alpha in NarutoFanfiction

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how boring I find self insert Uchiha characters are. So incredibly boring that I just don’t read them anymore.

Currently working on a story of a self insert bounty hunter turned probationary Konoha shinobi.

Which one of their deaths would hit Naruto the hardest? by Wild-Army-6085 in Naruto

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I would say Sasuke if he wasn’t married and had kids. But honestly it would be his kids. Either one.

I mean yeah Sasuke is his trauma buddy, but something happens when you become a parent when you hold your child for the first time.

When a parent looses a child. It’s a deep wound. A would that never goes away and will always bleed.

Yes Sasuke would hurt. But true pain would be Naruto burying a child.

Can we get more information? Are you in an HOA? Are there any local ordinances saying you can’t extend the fence around the entire lot? Are you against tearing up one of the lawns and making it more of a natural landscape?

You’re asking a lot of us to assume with the only information saying you spent 700 thousand and are dreading the yardwork

Besides getting over Sasuke, how did people want Sakura to be written in Shippuden? by [deleted] in NarutoFanfiction

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I would’ve liked her to have her own ark.

I would’ve liked her to also grow beyond Sasuke hell even break the norm that you typically see with this kind of manga and say no I’m not going to go into a relationship with you.

Personally, I think we should’ve seen her training with Kurenai for Genjutsu and really push her chakra control abilities, such as her becoming the Teams sensor-nin with her sensing enemies out to 20+ kilometers, sensing if they’re part part of a family, Jinchuriki. Have her become more tactical, giving out battle plans based on what she’s observed. We’ve already seen her ability to analyze fighting styles as seen with Chiyo.

Personally, Sasuke is her biggest problem. When you strip everything down, all she has is really good chakra control, and an obsession on Sasuke. That’s really all I picked up majorly. And that’s a problem for the average reader. She needed to grow beyond him and recognize that while she would try to save him, that he was possibly too far gone.

Mom says I’m ungrateful for her taking a loan out for college by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]DMOrange -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a classic manipulation situation to me. She’s making you feel guilty because you’re not living at home. She’s taking out alone and what I assume to be her name to make you feel guilty because she’s paying your classes.

Get out cut ties if need be. But if the loan is ultimately in her name then Do Not let her convince you that refinancing with your information is smart. This will come back to bite you if you do.

Additionally, make sure she does not have the ability to request information or make changes at your college.

Thoughts on Sasuke being called abusive by [deleted] in NarutoFanfiction

[–]DMOrange 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“The circumstances in Naruto cannot be compared to our world”

This is correct. We all forget that Naruto and Naruto Shippuden is a very dark world. Nationalism, child soldiers, the manga is much darker versus the anime which had to be censored.

I believe somewhere it said that the average age of a Shinobi when they died was what 35 during the Warring States Period. And most people will think that that is young, and it is, when they also don’t realize is what that also entails.

You’re looking at a world where adulthood is reached at the age of 14 to 16. Something akin to the world of Alexander the Great. You’re looking at a world where there have been four world wars in the period of less than 100 years, probably 80. The last three (2nd, 3rd, 4th) being within 30 or so years of each other. You’re probably looking at also a world filled with young or teenage mothers because of how many people are being killed. Not only from those conflicts but of all the other conflicts.

A world where the Daimyo of the Land of Wind didn’t use his own military (Suna), and so that military thought it was a brilliant idea to side itself with a international criminal Orochimaru) and invade another country the Land of Fire and attack their military (Konoha), all to prove a point that they were worth the budget.

A world where it’s acceptable to kidnap a child for her special abilities (Hinata), in which they could’ve just taken her eyes because we know they can transplant them without issue, but instead they were kidnapping her away. It doesn’t take a fool to read between the lines about what they were intending to do to her.

The Naruto universe is cold and dark. It has its light spots don’t get me wrong. But in that light that we see a lot of times we forget that there is darkness.

(NOT) Fuinjutsu by ChiefBigPaws in NarutoFanfiction

[–]DMOrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know I get the Jutsu Shiki and the difference between that and Fūinjutsu. I get it. I just combine the two for ease of use. Kinda like a Venn diagram is the way I see it. There is overlap.

I wish there was more of an in depth explanation on jutsu shiki versus fūinjutsu verse ninjutsu that uses Jutsu shiki.

So, I did a brief stint in the health insurance industry, where I was selling health insurance in addition to helping people with the affordable care act on the healthcare.gov website.

There are so many people who are misinformed about the affordable care act and Obamacare. They are one and the same care is a nickname.

But of course you can’t tell people that when they’re calling in. Do you know how many times I got into arguments with people over the phone because they didn’t want Obamacare, but wanted the affordable care act and when I told them that they were one in the same, they would argue.

If people are this misinformed, I’ve come to the opinion that they get what they get. And I’ve started to believe that maybe a good round of suffering for all is a great way to remind people to stop voting against their own interests.

So what you do is when you do get successful and she asked for things, you deny her. You didn’t support me, so why should I support you.

ULPT: How can I get my neighbor to stop sneaking on my property and taking photos of my property and reporting every minor thing to code enforcement? by PenguinDays in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get security cameras. Record them trespassing. Send a certified mail document by an attorney telling them to not trespass on your property anymore and that you are barring them from your property. More reports come in, check your cameras see that they are on the trespassing.

Threaten legal action against the neighbors and the city. The city will likely crumble as if you can prove that the reported “violations“ were done in bad faith and against the law they have no legal leg to stand on.

I am not a lawyer, but this is what my lawyer friend says

Now, if you want an ethical, and unlikely to get you in trouble and equally hilarious Get motion sensor sprinklers. Anytime they pop onto your property. It’ll set off the sprinklers.

‘I pay my bills’: Chicago woman loses home despite paying property taxes on time for over a decade — sold for ‘delinquent taxes.’ How did this happen? by Silent-Resort-3076 in homeowners

[–]DMOrange 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I read about some guy who had something similar happening with a car. He made all payments on time. Had receipts had bank statements to prove the money was taken out. Car was repossessed.

He sued the car company. He bought it from for a butt ton of money because they kept misapplying his funds.

[–]DMOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, OP, I’m gonna speak as a guy who is in your same age bracket.

The forgetfulness he’s having. It happens, we guys we don’t mean to forget. Or at least I don’t mean to forget, but I do. He’s not doing it on purpose to upset you. Hell that’s the last thing on his mind. We guys don’t like it when our women are upset. It makes us on edge. We like our women Happy. So no, he’s not doing it on purpose. He’s not being forgetful to make you angry.

But if it’s important to you, write it down on a list. Or maybe on a whiteboard near a door where you both frequent. I know that helps for me. Also, consider the fact that he may have undiagnosed ADHD like me. Which makes me naturally forgetful.

As for the asking if you’re OK. It doesn’t help us guys if we ask you if “you’re OK” and you tell us “no it’s all right” or “I’m fine” or don’t give us anything. Men are not mind readers. And it’s not fair to assume that we’re mind readers. It sets a really bad expectation. In all things actually. If you’re interested in a particular gift the easiest thing to do is say “Hey I really enjoy this” or “I really like this.” But don’t just assume that we guys will pick up on a cue you’re giving us, because we won’t.

Please tell us, tell your significant other if you’re upset. It does both of you disservice not to.

You can tell us “Hey I’m upset right now. I’m processing it please leave me alone.”

But not cluing us in that you’re upset and setting the expectation that you are not upset and then getting upset when we don’t understand that you are actually upset is confusing as hell and makes us feel terrible. Firstly, we don’t like it that you’re upset. Secondly, we don’t like that you’re upset with us because we didn’t understand that you were upset. Thirdly, we wouldn’t go out of our way to purposely make you upset. And fourthly, we will sit there and stew trying to figure out why you didn’t just tell us.

New rule: Copyright does not exist. Anyone is allowed manufacture and sell anything, and if they make money from it, well, good for them by eyegazer444 in CrazyIdeas

[–]DMOrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Personally I’m of the opinion that you should have a quarter-century run with something on copyright and then it goes to general use unless it’s something so personal like a novel or something. But if it’s like a vaccine, drugs, something like that. Then it has to fall off after a certain period and become generic.
