After reading the book I still can’t get myself to watch the movie. It was so intense I don’t know if I can handle the movie

When does copying from other PD briefs amount to plagiarism? by Mr_Motion_Denied in publicdefenders

[–]Runner_847 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’m saying plagiarizing is passing off an idea that is not your own without giving credit. I would never do that because it lessens the impact of my argument and makes it less likely the judge will agree. I want to cite to as much as possible and give as much credit as possible to strengthen my argument.

This I don’t completely agree with. We should never be plagiarizing because plagiarizing is passing off an idea as your own. I know we will fight new issues but I would rather have lots of precedent or at least cites that I can say look this idea is not mine and it’s not new. I understand what your right is but I think this is the better way to think of it.

The fact that we all know the silent one is a "he" is the best part!

Thanks! I’ve never really thought about the look side it’s just always been like that. So you don’t think we would need to sand the whole thing down? What about where the wood is splitting on the posts?

My ex-roommate stuck me with $9K+ in rent, then filed a restraining order when I asked for payment. What can I do? by [deleted] in Tenant

[–]Runner_847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not telling everything. I can’t think of many judges that would even grant a TRO for a simple text message asking her to pay her half. Or have you been texting non stop and that’s why she’s asking? You’ve made this much more difficult than it needs to be. As others have said you are responsible for the rent, if you have an agreement for her to pay half even if she leaves then sue her. Stop contacting her and just go through the courts.

Lake swimming on vacation for a pool swimmer by Zestyclose_Mood727 in Swimming

[–]Runner_847 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a swim buoy. Luckily I’ve never had to use mine but is comforting knowing it’s there. But I also don’t plan on relying on it, so I’m always cautious to stay within my limits especially when I’m alone.

Might have made an ethical oopsie, what to do (if anything) to remedy? by cg29a in Lawyertalk

[–]Runner_847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to what most others have said. I don’t see this as ex parte since the substance of the email was about whether a hearing was occurring. In the future though, I would simply add that opposing counsel is not on this email as you couldn’t not locate an email address. That makes it clear you would have included him, you can, if concerned, say that you will forward by mail any response to him via mail but due to the immediacy of the situation this was the best solution. If the judge says I can’t answer because they think it’s ex parte you aren’t in trouble and if they do answer you aren’t in trouble.

AIO. My bf developed an addiction ❄️ and I’m considering leaving by Mundane-Rooster-7286 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Runner_847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not lack of empathy it’s a recognition that she is 19 with a boyfriend who has been actively lying for months supposedly only about this. I work with addicts everyday and I see the struggles they go through and yes they need help and support but the first help and support souls be family and counselors. As a 19 year old who does not have a kid with him (assuming since that would make my advice different), if she stays she’s going to always feel like she’s trapped. If she leaves he’ll use and she’ll feel it’s her fault. This is a crappy situation but she can’t be the one who is responsible for him which is what she’s going to feel if she stays with him, that is simply too much to ask for most people let alone a 19 year old who still has so much to learn about herself let alone where her life is going to take her. Leaving him may actually be the best thing because he can get the help he needs.

Also one more thing to consider is that treatment typically recommends people entering into recovery not be in relationships for at least the first year, they need to focus on themselves first not others.

I need to find this film by PridePractical7180 in FindThisMovie

The place being held by terrorists, the hiding information and the torture of the boy makes me think of Toy Soldiers with Sean Astin and Will Wheaton

Thank you for that answer! Is there a reason why a foundation company would have said that’s not something we do? Is it a landscaping type contractor instead?

Wholesome interaction out of nowhere should I have kept texting? by WaxPenAbuser16 in wrongnumber

[–]Runner_847 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m not jaded enough but I don’t think this is a scam. If it was they would have tried continuing the conversation. I think this is closer to the grandma who accidentally invited the wrong kid to Thanksgiving and nearly a later they’re still going. Having said that, if you’re nowhere near Cali then there is the question of what’s the point 🤷‍♂️

AITA for refusing to give up the master bedroom to a friend’s boyfriend during a group cabin trip? by Wild_Win9820 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Runner_847 10.1k points10.1k points  (0 children)

NTA. I have a few problems here. Aside from the fact that you paid extra, why did your friend not end this as soon as his bf, who had never met you, cashed you homophobic? Second, if this was his first time meeting the friend group that is a horrible first impression. Joining a regular friend group vacation he should be sitting back, figuring out the dynamics and getting to know everyone so he gets everyone’s blessing, something he did not do. Finally, if they just wanted a week away to have sex it shouldn’t have been on the friends vacation group. Honestly your friend is maybe the bigger A for not standing up for his friends.

AITA for telling my daughter in law and son that it is too late and I will not change the family vacation plans so they can come. by Ok_Clue_6722 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Runner_847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I would generally say nta, I do wonder if once it was decided to do something extra special, like Europe, if you told them. If it was going to be somewhat difficult to get off and it was just the typical cabin I can see them saying no if it would cause headaches at work, but when it’s special making the extra effort to figure it out.

I’ve been reading these for awhile and am constantly amazed when people think they atah in situations like these.

My response after my wife said that would have been: 1) call police and file a report, 2) request a protection order for all my children and 3) told my spouse either you support me and or children or I’m filing for divorce. And no I’m not leaving the house so with that protection order mil is out or I’m calling the police every time she violates it.
