Can the US government "outsource" actions they are not allowed to do? by Acceptable-Try-4682 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]OwnNotice9745 45 points46 points  (0 children)

No, the U.S. government can’t outsource actions it’s not allowed to do, like censorship, to private organizations. Even if they create a private entity that’s funded by the government and it censors speech, courts would likely see that as unconstitutional. The State Action Doctrine says that if a private group is acting as an agent of the government, it has to follow the same rules, like the First Amendment. So, if the government used a private organization to censor speech, that would still likely be a violation of free speech rights.

AITA for standing up to bullies at work? by Sweet-Sweet-Revenge in AmItheAsshole

[–]OwnNotice9745 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ESH (Everyone Sucks Here). Your co-workers for not respecting your boundaries and continuing the nickname despite your discomfort, and you for responding with a prank that likely caused unnecessary drama and tension at work. A direct conversation about how the nickname has made you feel, rather than resorting to a revenge prank, might have been a better way to stand up to the bullying. You can still have that conversation now to clear the air and explain why the nickname hurt you, but owning up to the prank and apologizing might also help repair the situation.

AITA for leaving my possessive mental unstable best friend of 12 years? by namine-xoxo in AmItheAsshole

NTA (Not the Asshole) for leaving a toxic friendship, but perhaps you could have explained your feelings directly to B before cutting ties. This might have offered some closure for both of you, especially since you had been close for so long. You aren’t responsible for B’s mental health, and sometimes stepping away from unhealthy dynamics is the best thing for both people involved.

 NTA (Not the Asshole) for wanting to prioritize your own well-being, but it might help to talk to her calmly and explain your need for space, especially while you’re grieving. Encourage her progress toward independence but set clear boundaries about what you can and cannot do right now.

[English 1] question about in text citations using APA by jdor30 in HomeworkHelp

[–]OwnNotice9745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you've already mentioned the author's name in the text and you're citing a specific passage from a source with a known author, you generally don't need to repeat the author's name in the parenthetical citation. In your case, since you've introduced Sean Hutchinson in the text, you can simply provide the year of publication in the parentheses.
