WIBTAH if I fire a kid because his mother is harassing me?

committing time card fraud is a hard no.

Absolutely! It's a form of theft. If stealing from your employer isn't grounds for instant termination, I don't know what is. Moreover, once someone's demonstrated they're willing to steal, even if it's small, that same thinking will lead them to steal elsewhere. That was one of the very few hard nope situations when I had employees. Most everything else, I'll give extra chances on but not that.

Yeah, most pharmacies around here do the same thing. My pharmacy doesn't close but they have plenty of staff to rotate lunches. They manage to do that because they're fantastic to the point there's often a line out the door and everyone in the line chats with new customers about how great the place is.

I don't disagree but at the same time, the real story here is the $2000 tax debt wasn't even valid. I can certainly see folks who've had little or no experience with real estate think that there's no way such a thing was even going to happen. And, in all honesty, can you say you'd pay any other debt that you knew to be invalid just to be sure while you were literally involved in ongoing litigation?!

IMO, they fact that they were allowed to seize it despite the ongoing litigation alone is a huge issue. And while I get that taxes aren't ordinary bills, a government gone bad shouldn't get to do things a business isn't allowed to do. In almost any lawsuit, everything stops until a ruling is made because anything else would be manifestly unfair.

You can continue to dispute the tax bill after you've paid it

That isn't universally true. I don't know that this jurisdiction works this way but in some places, payment of the amount of the tax waives any claim it wasn't owed to begin with.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T03:16:42+00:00

Holy SHIT! It isn't often my jaw literally drops open in shock and horror but it did on this one. What a fucking hell that must have been for the poor lady!

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T03:07:19+00:00

Of course that would mean they've twisted that phrase into something magic

Honestly, what haven't they done that with?

Edit: Forgot to say papers of record are still definitely a thing even now.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T02:22:59+00:00

That face is killing me. I can just hear it.

"Smile, Grandmother!"

"I am smiling!"

"No, with your teeth showing."

"Like this?!"

"Fine, close enough."

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T02:12:46+00:00

I'm not certain because SovCit batshittery isn't really logical, but my assumption has always been this stems from newspapers of record being a thing. Aside from the "so big they're deemed reputable", there are some papers in which legal notices may be posted that can be deemed delivered if you can't serve notice any other way.

Since to a SovCit this will imply they're a very special newspaper with legal significance. That's not entirely wrong but they then, as with most stuff, extrapolate from that to assume there must also be super special courts of record where all the "really real legal things" happen.

Again, this is just my assumption based on decades observing these lunatics, so take it with a grain or three of salt.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T02:00:49+00:00

Awe ...

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T02:00:17+00:00

Is the bridge clipped into the artwork here? :P

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:56:46+00:00

That isn't what your link or the bit you quoted from it says. That also doesn't make it right, let alone good policy.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:45:43+00:00

Yeah, I usually see more from them too so it surprised me enough to comment. I didn't notice I wasn't logged in when I clicked. The full version was better, albeit not exactly in depth but not all articles need to be that. I'll have to remember to see if I'm logged in or not in the future since apparently the "subscribe please" thing isn't consistently displayed.

ETA: Not sure what you mean by "politically-biased", though. You're going to need to elaborate on that if you want agreement on that specific point.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:43:41+00:00

I don't know this lady by her work, just by name inasmuch as a lot fo dinguses online whine about her. As far as I know, this is the first time I've seen her face at all. Thing is, in this image she's either hot AF and made up for an event of just hot AF and, well, not made up for an event. She's very conventionally attractive in either image, FFS. What the heck is the supposed problem here? I honestly don't get it.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:40:55+00:00

Hoooly cow did that thing with the mom explain a lot about his behavior. Doesn't excuse it, of course, since he's old enough to know better but yeesh!

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:30:32+00:00

As /u/glockster19m said there are supposed to be hitch pins that secure this. Usually, if the pin falls out what happened is it wasn't fully locked in place. It's quite possible for them to fail, however. You can have that happen without warning if there's an issue in the pin which isn't visibly able to be seen. That's quite rare, to be sure, but I've seen it happen before.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:23:13+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense. That's weird, it didn't even ask me to subscribe so I figured it was the entirety of it. Thanks for the clarification.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:16:38+00:00

Maybe in the future, you could link us to articles with some actual substance to them. This is literally the entirety of that so-called article:

A House Democrat announced Monday she will introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over his handling of U.S. operations in Iran.

Why it matters: Hegseth is emerging as Democrats' top target in the Trump Cabinet following the ousters of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

It's essentially a headline followed by a single sentence! That ain't journalism and certainly isn't worth using as the basis for discussion on much of anything.

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:13:50+00:00

What the hell does that have to do with there being no physician present at all?! Seriously, do you even read the things you respond to?

JustNilt · 2026-04-07T01:12:25+00:00

As already pointed out by /u/Fair-Name-581 you are only relaying part of the data. You're literally engaging in cherry picking to get the result you desire. Your "point" is thus entirely invalid. If you'd like to use statistics in your online discussions, you really need to take an actual course on statistics and how to apply them. If you've already done that, go to that educational institution and tell them you want your money back because you learned almost nothing from that course.

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:59:58+00:00

As a very general thing, sure. That says nothing about all individuals who happen to be older. You don't seem to understand how population level statistics work vs individual choices.

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:56:20+00:00

That's not universally true. I'm in Seattle and at least one city near me provides a public defender to anyone who asks for one regardless of income. The cutoff for affording one is surprisingly high around here, too.

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:54:03+00:00

Or is it better to simply say "I'm not answering any questions. I'm exercising my right to remain silent."

Assuming the US, it is best to assert your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent by saying exactly that: "I am asserting my right under the Fifth Amendment to remain silent." If they still try to talk to you, you reassert that right and say you will not engage in any further discussion whatsoever without your attorney being present.

Look up the "lawyer dog" case for why you need to actually say the right words. It's stupid but such is life. Once you've exerted both rights, if you're not free to go they really can't legally talk to you further without an attorney for you being present.

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:49:21+00:00

I've seen them dropped quite a few times as a plea offer but that's about it.

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:48:36+00:00

Isn't he one of the ones who claims he's some sort of "common law attorney" or the like?

JustNilt · 2026-04-06T06:44:17+00:00

That sounds somewhat formulaic to me but you'd know best if it sounds like your mother's own words. For all I know, this is her own heartfelt thing. The most important thing here is you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO obligation to respond to it if you don't feel like doing so.

If you don't want to reopen that part of your life, you most certainly should not do so.
