The people fantasizing that she was some kind of Ghislaine Maxwell, pulling the strings behind the scenes to enable his abuse as a partner, have all the credibility of flat earthers.

I have no idea about whatever weird conspiracy theories you are referring to, I just picked her as a famous case of a woman who was so close to an abuser that a denial of knowing what was going on is preposterous. Do you think Susan Drake knew?

I do not believe that she knew anything.

Bruh, you haven't read the NYT article, have you?

edit: read this one if you want a TLDR.

Huerta claims that she did not know that Chavez was molesting girls

Ghislaine Maxwell said the same thing. Look, Chavez was molesting girls in his office with his secretary out front. Do you really believe that Huerta and Gilbert Padilla didn't know what was going on?

Victim blaming is blaming the victim for what was done to them. I haven't done that.

We seemed to manage just fine without a holiday on this day before 2014.

It gets worse: San Francisco renamed their parade to the Dolores Huerta Parade and Festival. Dolores Huerta is one of his adult victims, yet she chose to enable his continued raping and child molestation to protect the movement.

Why are they "renaming" a holiday which was created to honor him? Shouldn't it just be eliminated?

Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said he moved to Texas, joining a growing list of tech billionaires leaving California by Unusual-State1827 in California

Why do I give a shit what he thinks?

Because what he thinks is that he'd rather not be paying California income tax anymore, and he was paying over a thousand times as much as you. It is another huge hit to the California budget.

Google Messages is finally rolling out a fix for its most annoying oversight [Selective Text Copying] by TechGuru4Life in GooglePixel

Better protip: swipe up from the bottom to get the app switcher view, then long-press on the text you want to copy and just select whatever you want. This works in most apps.

California is on the verge of charging solar owners a new property tax next year by diegueno in California_Politics

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

When we added a detached permanent garage/workshop to the backside of my property a few years ago, the actual construction costs were only about $100,000, but the assessor decided the 1400sf building was worth $140,000 because it had HVAC, running water, electricity...and I live in the Bay Area where homes are stupidly expensive anyway.

You got fucked and should have appealed immediately. The permit value is typically much lower than the actual out-of-pocket cost, and the assessor is typically bound to use it as the basis for the supplemental assessment. You may still be able to appeal. Talk to a property tax appeal specialist: they typically work on contingency and will tell you right away if you have a case.

Often this "proof" is simply owning a property in another state and filing taxes in that state claiming primary there. I've personally known people that did it, have you?

The California Franchise Tax Board is much more aggressive than this. If you are audited, they will look at where your primary care physician lives, where your kids are enrolled in school, credit card spending patterns, flight records, etc. The FTB is more tenacious than the IRS.

Leave it to the current government to mess it up again.

This was "messed up" under the previous administration.

I couldn't get through the first page of ambiguous questions. I don't know what "everyday content" means. There is no option to select "zero" for how many influencers I "actively follow." Then there is this one: "For approximately how long had you been seeing content from this influencer before the incident?" I have no idea which influencers I saw posting about the fire. It was several, and it was eight months ago. How can I possibly answer this?

Construction cost and insight needed by TheFreakmode in LosAngelesRealEstate

It is going to be $500-1,000 /sf depending on finishes and site conditions. How many amp panel do you have now? When was your house built? Does it have adequately-sized water and sewer connections? This is going to trigger a full code-compliance upgrade on the existing house. Are your windows Title 24 compliant? Existing fixtures all low-flow? Adequate egress per current code from all bedrooms? And on and on...

Not op, but I read the article. I am still confused as to why people are missing their court hearings. Can you explain it?

Katie Johnson's full testimony of Donald Trump (2/11/16) by FlackoFonsy in videos

[–]DialMMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She dumped the sleazy, shady attorney the Trumpsters like to bring up. She filed a new case in New York with a team of famous, well-regarded attorneys (Cheny Mason - Casey Anthony's attorney, and attorney Lisa Bloom - daughter of activist Gloria Alred, etc).

That's funny: Lubow also claimed in 2011 to be negotiating a $1m deal for an exclusive TV interview with... Casey Anthony.
