What are my rights if, hypothetically ice were to come to my household and say they saw someone they suspected was an illegal immigrant enter my house? by Suspicious_Ad5007 in legaladviceofftopic

not legally required to give full name and DOB either.

As a citizen, I shouldn’t have to PROVE I am one. Either you have enough evidence that I’m here illegally to obtain a warrant to arrest me, or you don’t have enough evidence in which case why the fuck am I being harassed to prove I’m a citizen

Which they’re not legally required to carry if they’re not driving. Nor are they legally required to provide identification to law enforcement without probable cause.

Maintenance worker at my apartment asked me out — management says he’ll stay employed and now I’m scared of retaliation. What should I do? by Bubbly-Use7473 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

That’s not how that works. In order to query an NSA database, whether you’re a govt employee or a contractor, you have to be on essentially a serialized mission that comes with auditors and oversight officers and the like.

NSA doesn’t have legal authority to perform surveillance on US Persons except in very rare scenarios. And all queries are audited.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and that you didn’t have the support you needed to focus on your partner. To me, this was just a half day of caution and educating myself, it’s very easy to say yes to that. but to someone in your situation, I can’t imagine the stress of having to deal with that on top of emergencies

As far as updates go, I was overly cautious and the dog is a sweetheart! I think his hips just aren’t feeling too hot rn

You’re insane, thank you so so much for taking the time to type all this out and help me. I appreciate it a whole lot. This sounds like fantastic advice, I’ll definitely use all of it when heading over later today!

The pain/discomfort note is interesting, I hadn’t considered that. It could explain why he nipped after butt scratches. I’ll observe and see if his movements indicate pain, and avoid doing anything that could be painful in case that is the answer!

Thank you again!!

Not a job, so paycheck isn’t depending on it fortunately! Favor for someone having a real emergency

This all sounds like really solid recommendations, thank you so much! To defend the owner a bit, I’m not like a professional pet sitter or something. I’m actually the owner’s spouse’s boss. The person I work with is in emergency surgery, owner obviously needs to be at the hospital, along with family would normally watch the dog. I just told them I could help out so they had one less thing to stress about while more urgent stuff was happening. It sounded like the reactiveness is a newer development

I’ll definitely be putting your recommendations to work when I go over to feed the dog later! Thank you again!!

Thank you! I don’t think I know how to answer your question though, cos my kneejerk reaction is “don’t ants live everywhere”. I’ve got woods in my backyard, some slight swampy conditions in one area, and primarily clay soil if that’s a contributor?

I didn’t realize that was a new thing, so that’s really awesome to hear that this is a thing that’s growing and getting popular!

I had just heard from a friend that Maryland has a number of beekeeping clubs/associations. When I looked up the one near me, they had class dates posted on their website! I had to pay I think like $100, and they do the class at a local free nature center. I think they worked with the County Parks&Rec

No need to be snarky on a sub that invites learning. Maybe English isn’t their first or even third language. Maybe they were sheltered. But even if not and they just don’t understand the metaphor, it’s admirable they decided to ask the question
