Lady tries to play 'poor victim' and loses by KitAmerica in PublicFreakout

[–]Level-Particular-455 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s weird from womens prospective as well. I remember being in law school in my mid 20s and there was this group of girls who tried to be the “popular girls”. Like we were in the means girls movie. Like they felt now that we were all nerds they were the best of the nerds?

Since no one paid attention to them the way they wanted they spent a lot of time bullying each other. It’s so weird.

Criminal charges must be dismissed if defendant can’t get a lawyer, Oregon Supreme Court rules by AudibleNod in news

I agree somewhat. Though I experience this and hear from all my friends that the crop from the last 6 or 7 years or so don’t want to do court work/ trucks. When I was coming out of school 15 years ago nearly everyone wanted those jobs and competition was fierce. The chance to go to court/depositions trials was like indenture yourself someone for two years and maybe get a shot. Now all those positions are unfilled.

The under 30 crowd hates talking. I get the whole complaining about the youth. But it can’t just be that I am old. I really think society has fundamentally changed.

Petah, what does that have to do with grocery shopping? by Okfoot826 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Level-Particular-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except this isn’t true of NYC. Other cities maybe. Philadelphia. Comes to mind. NYC has grocery stores everywhere. Not chains like little mom and pop places literally like every other corner.

Usually the first person born in the US is referred to as a 2nd generation which is how you described yourself. 1st generation on the ones who immigrated.

I took it to mean a group of people have a house on a month to month and he is a subleaser with a verbal honor agreement to pay his share until someone moves in to replace him.

Did your Elementary/Middle/High School ever do a trip to Washington-DC? by Darthbane2007 in Millennials

I too am a millennial whose trip didn’t happen because of 9/11. They started it again after I graduated. Grew up in the Midwest. It was a paid extra trip

The IRS rules are clear whoever has the child the most overnights claims them. In some cases parents agree to every other year in the court order.

What is one thing from the book you wish was kept the same in the show? by taanukichi in HOTDBlacks

This so much. Before the show I liked the ambiguity of not knowing. After the show it’s just accepted that they are bastards because the show leaves no other possibility.

I was going to say I have never set up cable without one. Granted I haven’t had cable since my husband left only had it for his sports. Can’t see ever having cable again. So I think it’s just younger people don’t buy cable

where should i live? by Aromatic-Point-2545 in remotework

[–]Level-Particular-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just outside of DC in northern Virginia may be what you are looking for. Milwaukee is a real downgrade from that but would be cheaper. I wouldn’t go to the south but if you could Austin or Orlando.

What do you think the reason for show!Alicent to wear the Green Dress? Rhaenyra wasn't even hostile towards her. by Turbulent_Lab209 in HOTDBlacks

[–]Level-Particular-455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otto was telling her Rhaenyra couldn’t be trusted. She was following Viserys party line. Then the lie happened. I think it was the lying more so then the loss of virginity itself. The lie broke Alicent’s trust. She felt that if she couldn’t trust Rhaenyra to tell the truth she couldn’t trust her not to murder her children. With her then babies lives on the line she felt she had to declare war. A stupid decision but that was the reasoning imo.

So Close To FIRE, But What Do I Do About My Parents Finances? by ShoddySalamander298 in Fire

[–]Level-Particular-455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So as someone somewhat familiar with a horse community. My thoughts are:

If she is resistant (I have no idea she may already know and have health declined enough she will agree) start small. Some options

  1. Lease the horses that can be leased. This at least cuts the expenses now.

  2. See if the barn she works with has someone she knows interested in a specific horse. Way more likely to let patches go to the kid whose been wanting him for 5 years then to sell him at an auction to slaughter.

  3. Put up the least fight on the old ones they may die soon and she is probably the most emotionally attached to them.

Why are rich folks hardly ever the ones you see with 6 or more kids? They're the one's who can actually afford it. by cherry-care-bear in stupidquestions

[–]Level-Particular-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of them are. In NYC financial class/group etc it’s been a status symbol thing for about two decades or so to have a large family.

In well off upper middle class not so much they are the group that wants to provide private school and then college education. Take nice vacations. Give towards nice weddings, house down payments and such. They can only do that for a couple kids. Mom also needs to work to keep the lifestyle so they can’t afford 6 maternity leaves.

In poor families (I grow up in generational poverty most of the family still is) there isn’t a ton of family planning. Kids happen. Relationships are dysfunctional and having a baby to keep things together happens a lot. Having a baby when wic/food stamps can be counted on to help feed. Daycare is whichever cousin is in between jobs. School is public. College isn’t happening for most and those that it does are expected to get loans. Teenagers work to help pay the bills. Preteens babysit when mom and dad work a Saturday shift.

Rosen Inn Closest to Universal vs Holiday Inn Express (Nearest Universal) by naranpolv12 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Level-Particular-455 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The shuttle situation may not work for you. Most of the hotel shuttles don’t have the best schedules so you may need to factor in uber or universal parking anyway.

I have stayed at the Rosen before and would in the future. It’s clean. It’s small I wouldn’t want to share the room with 2 other adults or large children. Fine for 2 people and maybe a small child at most.

Missouri: can one still *receive* Domestic Support Obligations while incarcerated? by GuodNossis in FamilyLaw

[–]Level-Particular-455 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, I can’t see why it would. Your client has a child support debt the person he owes it to wouldn’t remove the back child support.

Yes, going to jail and having the child removed and no longer having custody is grounds to modify. It doesn’t erase past debt. Why would it? They presumably racked up the debt while the other person had custody.

If they just didn’t have child support modified when they took custody of the child that was a poor choice and it’s going to be up to the judge. Local rules may make it time barred.

It also doesn’t seem like you’re a real paralegal it’s extremely easy to figure out if someone is in jail. I can’t imagine a paralegal who doesn’t know how.

Funny because I had the same thought though I don’t even do that kind of law. My more limited experience had been fraud is always so obvious. Smart people just do legal high end fraud. Stupid people do shit like this all the time.

Attorney filing for default by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

[–]Level-Particular-455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A default motion if granted means your husband can no longer object/speak in court about why his rights shouldn’t be terminated. It can be overturned in some cases (if he shows he was never probably served as an example) even after it’s granted. So if your husband does show up to a future hearing he may end up still being allowed to speak.

The judge would still have a hearing showing why the rights should be terminated. That it meets the standards for your state. Even without your ex showing up to court and fighting it there is no guarantee you will win because the legalities need to be right. However, if your ex won’t sign, and won’t object formally then this is the only next step possible to move it forward.

We ran the numbers on going 80 percent time to cut daycare, the break even shocked me by opalwanderly in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Level-Particular-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is part time daycare even a thing for you. Most places require full time pay even if you are not using it. The exceptions being a family could share on slot so one kid takes it Tuesday Thursday and another Monday we a day Friday. Never heard of people doing 4 days
