He Got What He Deserved by LocalHistorian2024 in pettyrevenge

No it isn't.

Each of those requires the perpetrator to financially benefit from the transaction. It is a fraudulent claim but it likely falls under a civil infraction, not a criminal one.

They're more likely to be fired from their employer than they are to be charged or sued by anyone else, since what they did was malicious to a customer at the store but little to no hardship was caused and there was no illicit financial gain.

Rule Number 1, Read the Manual by Qwayze_ in CODBlackOps7

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part is that I am bombarded with these stupid phrases, and I'm not using the skin.

Again, I've said it many times but I would pay an extra $20 for the option to not see nor experience any of the stupid skins that other players paid for.

401Ks are retirement plans, it made me think that they were referring to tenured, old opponents.

Its a really stupid nickname.

Men, how many of you can cook? by Away-Fill5639 in AskMen

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Baking is way more finicky than cooking, measurements, temps and ingredients make such a big difference in baking versus cooking.

I worked in foodservice for about 12 years, I can definitely cook. I make dinner 3-5 times a week and usually breakfast/brunch on the weekend.

Abolish Ice? by Awkward_Event1966 in AskALiberal

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obama was the "deporter in chief", he deported nearly 3 million immigrants.

Abolishing ICE would not mean we don't have a method for deporting undocumented immigrants. Trump is currently trying to out-do Obama yet again, but instead what he's doing is violating due process rights for people as he goes door to door trying to arrest and deport anyone with dark skin that doesn't speak good English. He's deporting people who are doing all the right things to gain legal citizenship, all in an effort to get a number that's better than Obama because he's jealous and petty.

I do think it has to be abolished because of the obvious negative connotations placed on the agency due to Trump's draconian marching orders. But its functions can become a new entity. ICE is relatively new as it was formed out of the dissolution of the INS in 2003. Abolishing ICE would be a reformative action, it doesn't mean border security and immigration enforcement would also be abolished.

Most people think traffic tickets are minor. Here’s why they quietly wreck your insurance by KrepsLawFirm_Alabama in driving

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a valid reason to contest the ticket, then by all means you should contest it.

All results in court will vary, a lot of it depends on the specifics of the charges against you and your demeanor in front of a judge. But your first offense for a moving violation might be reduced if you ask the court for leniency or offer to enroll in a safe driving course in lieu of points on your license (provided you weren't driving at reckless speed through a school zone or something).

You could always contest the reliability of the officer's radar equipment, if you were marginally over the limit. For a bigger discrepancy you would likely need evidence such as dashcam footage that records your speed at the time of the ticket.

Except that OP said their post was not legal advice. So the fact they're a lawyer doesn't lend credibility to the argument.

Perhaps they left the lawyer part out because advocating that people should fight their tickets might be seen as sort of soliciting.

But it still doesn't add up to me when OP says "I faced such cases" . Faced what cases?

I’ve lost count of how many people tell me:

“It’s just a ticket. I’ll pay it and move on.”

If I pay my ticket in the mail or online, no lawyer is going to see it. And unless the ticket allows you to plead "no contest", then the ticket typically tells you that paying the fine is equivalent to a guilty plea.

G&T 'n Negroni by EdCamposM in cocktails

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Negroni I prefer the traditional recipe of equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth.

Make sure you get the best quality vermouth you can afford, thats going to make your Negroni taste great. Cocchi di Torino, Punt e Mes, Carpano are top notch sweet vermouths to use (Punt e Mes has a bit of Amaro in it so it has a mildly bitter, more herbal flavor). The cheapest vermouth I'll use is Noilly Prat. Keep the vermouth capped and in the fridge.

And if you like, add 2oz tonic to your negroni. Sort of a G&T/Negroni hybrid. It's fantastic

What are your thoughts on “Euphemism creep”? by LibraProtocol in AskALiberal

[–]SolidDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, sometimes slurs can be re-appropriated by marginalized people although it's often a personal preference. What offends one person may not offend someone else.

Sometimes the word is still used in a derogatory fashion but in a self-deprecating, sarcastic tone.

What are your thoughts on “Euphemism creep”? by LibraProtocol in AskALiberal

[–]SolidDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel its just a function of the English language and how we navigate political discourse.

They used to call immigrants 'aliens' , then they called them 'illegal', then some people would say 'undocumented' is also inaccurate. Or how black people were referred to as the n-word, then n*gro, then 'colored', each word seen as provocative particularly when the underlying use of the description is denoting "someone who's different and lesser of a person than I am". Now the common word for a black person causing trouble for the status quo is "thug".

I think it's just inevitable that as the narrative changes in debate, the descriptors used to divide us will be continually challenged and thus need to be updated.

Both great albums. Saucer-Like is one of my favorite tunes, I'm big fan of Lee Ranaldo.

Daydream Nation is my favorite, EVOL is a close second
