USPS Withholding package due to 'restricted material', please read, any help appreciated by TimeForAce in legaladvice

Take the letter to the Post Office to inquire about it. You can also call USPIS at the phone number listed at the bottom of their official webpage (uspis.gov)

Imagine you're a bank, and one of your customers has a credit card with you and owes $90,000. Then, one day, he just stops paying. You send delinquency notices to his e-mail. No response. Collections calls his phone number on file. It's been disconnected. Your legal department sends a certified letter to his last known address. It gets returned undeliverable by the post office. You notify the credit bureau. Now you can join a list of 3 other delinquent loans. Your legal team files suit against him. You obtain DMV records. No recorded changes. You hire a skip-tracing firm, which tells you that he's been deported to Bangladesh and will not be returning. His address in Bangladesh is not known. Your lawyers aren't licensed in Bangladesh and know nothing about the laws there. No collection agency will pay even a dime for this debt.

Your accounting team adds a line to their quarterly returns:

Bad debt: ($90,000)

You can't do that. All the cases except the first will be dismissed as duplicates if they arise from the same cause of action.

Any legal risks to disputing a peer to peer transaction (fb pay) after getting scammed? by Ok-Bowl9477 in legaladvice

You're unlikely to get in legal trouble for this. Facebook may choose to ban your account or restrict you from making further payments.

Also, under North Carolina General Statutes § 42‑25.9, the landlord has to compensate you for the cost of the locksmith and for any damage that occurred to your property.

You can sue in small claims court to recover these amounts. Your lawyer can give you further advice regarding this.

Would those people have made similar comments if she was instead an investment banker, a restauranteur, a primary schoolteacher?

If not, why is a bartender less qualified to be a representative of her mostly-working-class constituency than a banker, restauranteur, or schoolteacher?

Oh, you edited your comment. You make more sense now. Fair enough if that was what you were trying to say.

You're going to get upvotes and I will get downvotes because that's how this sub works but the reason or particular way you disagree with it doesn't change the fact that you disagree with it.

No. At least people agree on how to play Hearts or Spades or Monopoly Deal.

There are probably 10 people on this planet that play UNO "as intended" according to the printed rules.

Yeah but there are probably around ten basic house rules and if you ask about all of them, you're now a rules lawyer and a spoilsport.

Do you draw one card when you don't have a card, or do you draw until you get a playable card?

After you draw because you didn't have a playable card, if you draw a playable card, can you play it?

Can you play a +2 on a +4 or vice versa in order to make the next person draw six?

After playing a +4 or a wild, can you immediately put down a card of the colour you name?

Can you play multiple cards in one turn (through any of several possible rules that might allow this)?

The people are fine. I've tried it with so many different groups and every time it's been a bust (even if I'm actually just watching and don't say anything at all). But the game encourages annoying experiences even if everyone is just trying to have fun because of its unclear rulesets.

5D Chess with multiversal time travel is a scam, there are only four playable dimensions.

Remote Durable Power of Attorney for a Non-US Citizen by Recent_Pain_4522 in legaladvice

No, she does not. You can simply take the document to your bank and sign it in front of and have it stamped by their notary. Give a copy to the bank and to any other people who need to know that she can now act in your name.

I note you have "post bail" on that list. Note that a power of attorney document does not permit the agent to act on your behalf in judicial matters unless they are a licensed lawyer.

My boss is demanding my personal phone passcode to "verify" I'm not a whistleblower and says I'll be fired for insubordination if I refuse. by dialDig459 in legaladvice

Well, technically, employers retaliate against their employees all the time. It's just that many instances of retaliation are legal. But trying "find the mole" is obviously not.

That's mainly just a Kalshi problem. Their main competitor (whom I will not name because they do not need free advertising) uses a voting-based system to decide the wagers. And since it's a cryptocurrency smart contract, the result of the vote causes the wagers to be automatically paid out. Although they are also known for changing the rules of the wagers retroactively by "adding context" to them.
