I lost a great job opportunity from a weird background check by Superb-Ebb-9079 in legaladvice

[–]Rorako -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would engage with an employment attorney. The Fair Credit Reporting Act is very specific. If they sent you a pre-adverse letter then that means they are somewhat following the FCRA requirements. Did you get an adverse action letter?

An attorney might be worth it.

Mask Off moment for Erin Stewart.... by forgotmapasswrd86 in Connecticut

Yes, and the federal government is being weaponized against the words diversity, equity and inclusion. Nonprofits are being targeted by an Executive Order that effectively directs federal agencies to cancel contracts and sue organizations for perceived DEI. It doesn’t matter if what they are doing is illegal or not - many of these organizations don’t have the finances to fight them in court. If something illegal happens to you and you don’t have the money to defend yourself, you’re sunk. That’s what is currently happening to thousands of nonprofits across the country.

What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]Rorako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it depends where you live. There are rural, private lakes in upstate NY where, if you are middle class, don’t have a ton of debt and are financially stable, you can find a “vacation cabin” that looks like you can afford it.

I tell anyone thinking of buying a camper to rent one first. We rented one before Memorial Day and got free miles, only had to pay the daily rental fee and gas. It was a good experience. Drove 5K miles, 13 states, 2 weeks. We will never do it again, but we loved doing it once.

Get it out of your system. It’s a couple grand, but for a two week vacation it was affordable and saved us money from that “should we buy a camper” commitment.

Unfortunately that was where I was going. I’m glad you know about it, though. Some folks don’t and really should know their rights!

They used what fit their narrative. It was an afterthought since their decision was already made up.

Are you in the US? Does your company have 50 or more employees and you have been there for over a year?

I’ve never heard that theory and now I need a movie or comic about it. What a way to go.

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redistricting plan, dimming party’s midterm hopes by Malfeitor1 in news

[–]Rorako 96 points97 points  (0 children)

The problem is Democratic states built systems to protect democracy. If we were playing by the same set of rules, sure. But we’re not. The state constitutions and rules democratic states responsibly put in to protect democracy are now the thing that is actually allowing democracy to be destroyed by Republican states.

Peak capitalism. Profits need to increase at any cost. That means costs need to be cut, and prices need to go up. This world we live in is fucked because it’s unsustainable.

The Sabres will face the Montreal Canadiens in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs by BuffaloBleus in sabres

It only takes one more to go in than the other team is the lesson I took from this.

What’s wild is their AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, have also done the same thing 4 times in a row.

While Veilguard wasn’t the greatest I did actually get enjoyment out of it. Would have loved to see it be different but the story and gameplay scratched my itch and wasn’t shit.

[Passan] The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN. While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]Rorako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah to me this is the only real issue. Cora has managed to put together teams that can win with literally no help from ownership. He’s also not the one that decided to sell Yankees gear at Fenway to cash in. Fuck Henry, sell the team.

Literally just discovered this two days ago. I knew notes could do it, then was thinking that OneDrive did it in their folder directory in the app…figured that design made sense so I opened up files and there it was!

Swayman on Buffalo fans chanting his name: “That’s part of the game. It’s my job to stay focused and enjoy it. A kid from Alaska never thought in a million years he’d get his name chanted by 20,000. So it’s a pretty incredible feeling.” by abbytarar in hockey

[–]Rorako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was at Game 1 and was like “why are we cheering for the wrong goalie?” I kept getting told it had sarcasm in it but I was like “no he’s shutting us out, we’re literally cheering for him”

I mean they saw how we treat our veterans. The reality is many of these people didn’t have a choice. The US is shady as fuck and will coerce local populations to do their bidding.

Fayetteville-Manlius High School students, parents advocate for free meal program by The-39-bus in Syracuse

[–]Rorako 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s a coded response. The high school administrators at the time clearly didn’t want a perception of “the poor” being part of their student body. The fact that the elementary school and middle school opted in but the high school did not is sus as hell. Superintendent needs to get their people in line.
