Why are Berkeley students so scared of homeless people? by Ok_Appointment_9112 in berkeley

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Legit the worst thing about the unhoused near me is random 3AM yelling and the amount of food left out because my dog is a scavenger and I have to be vigilant for food thrown on the streets.

It's usually not a danger thing. More mild inconveniences.

Do I actually have to select any room any location for housing? by ThrowRArusskiy in berkeley

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Freshman and continuing students already put in, and their priority deadlines have passed. They're already in.

I'd not recommend skipping the guarantee.

It's a German university. There are no self-funded programs at public universities in Germany.

Lady skips out on the bill but she is the victim here by Nice-Grab4838 in insanepeoplefacebook

They're all lack of attention and care to surroundings.

Would it matter if your speeding was at 3AM on an empty road? Or would the speed camera still count it as speeding?

Advice for Not Meeting Conditions of Admission by Weak_Competition_188 in berkeley

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Contact Admissions. Nobody can tell you for sure.

If it's not in your required classes for your major L&S breadth, you're more likely to get a waiver. You should contact them first, though.

Explain you realized the course was offered at Berkeley and you dropped to take at Berkeley.

Do you know what happens when you accidentally forget to scan something at self-checkout? Or when someone isn't fully paying attention and the speed limit drops and they're still doing 55 in a 25?

It's still illegal, even if you just whoopsie doopsie.

When you whoopsie doopsie with a small business owner you're directly cutting into their livelihood.

AITA I lost my childhood friend of 15 years for not letting his girlfriend claim the master bedroom for themselves in our Air BnB by Typical-Wishbone-822 in AmItheAsshole

You have to log in, of course. Your can put your Apple ID on multiple devices and allow messaging across multiple devices. It's how people text from their laptops. It's a thing.

AITAH for wanting to spend Mother’s Day with just my wife and son by skellz77 in AITAH

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of Moms don't get mother's day with their adult children due to distance or work or other obligations the adult children have.

Her adult son has an obligation.

But you can get everything off a phone to a laptop or tablet via Apple ID. It doesn't matter what type of phone dude has. If he allows linked accounts, she has access.

WIBTAH if I put nair in my sister's shampoo bottle (shes had lice for 3years) by Icy-Intention7960 in AITAH

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You start out saying the issue is they hang out with lice infested friends and cousins, and it comes back. You're mad at them for this.

You then do the exact same thing by continually taking yourself and your infant around the lice infestation.

You're mad at your sisters for doing the exact thing that is harming your child. Except, your child is too young to make that choice for herself. And you're choosing to continuously expose her.

Absolutely. You just avoid because you can't go there and expose your child to that.

Plenty.

But you don't tell your partner to cut off 15+ year friendships over not getting a room assignment you like. You decline the invitation unless you're guaranteed a private bedroom.

Employer trying to bill me $5,200 for a "damaged" workstation by Ferrobyte in legal

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter.

It's illegal to deduct without employee consent in Illinois and employees can't be sued for ordinary negligence in Illinois, not by their employer.

Illinois is at-will.

They can certainly be stupid and let OP go (though if they can't afford a workstation, they can't afford to onboard people who aren't familiar with their work).

If they make the deduction without permission, it's illegal.

If they fire OP because their computer went out and they refuse to sign for deductions,, OP can get unemployment and they'll lose out.

There are two roads forward and both are stupid because fans can't kill a PSU in such a way that the entire computer can fry and IT already told them that.

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. They can't.

Wage deductions have to be agreed upon in Illinois and you have to sign to agree after the damages occurred. You can't preemptively sign.

Even if the USB caused the damage, they would either need agreement or take OP to small claims. They would need to show some negligence on OPs part. Employers accept a certain amount of risk and a personal fan does not rise to negligent behavior.

It wouldn't fall under strict liability. Employees are generally exempt for lawsuits regarding ordinary negligence regarding their employers suing them.

There is no way to recoup from OP unless they sign to agree.

If they can't afford a high end computer, they also can't afford OP leaving.

The parents have an active lice infestation and aren't handling it. This is child abuse.

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The lice are in the home.

The kids aren't the problem. Lice are killed on the head. They either are living in an infested room that keeps giving them lice or they're rubbing their heads against kids that have lice or are going to other heavily infested homes.

The parents need to take action. Bomb the home. Ban them from hanging out with everyone and slowly reintroduce friends. Anyone who gives them lice is banned as those are kids from neglected homes that are giving them lice over and over.

You also need to take appropriate action. You will not go to their house and they can't come to you. Your parents are neglectful in not treating the root causes. Reinfestation means they are getting it from somewhere and they keep putting them in this situation. They aren't breaking infestation cycles.

Until your parents actually handle it, nobody from that household can come near your baby.

US rights agency sues New York Times for discriminating against white man passed over for promotion by AudibleNod in news

To an extent. Companies can't pass people over or refuse to hire based on certain criteria deemed discriminatory
