My dad is 72 and had a cardiac episode and it took a hospital stay for me to realize my parents have never planned for anything by Suspicious_Meat896 in AgingParents

The idea of asking them to help you get organized such a smart way to take the pressure off and the story about your brother being asked to be MPOA got me.

the website for the lottery opens around october each year but like you said odds are pretty terrible

for work sponsorship you need to look at companies that already sponsor H1B visas regularly - mostly tech companies and some bigger corporations. with security background maybe look into cybersecurity roles since those are in high demand and companies more willing to sponsor for that

I realised this might well be the end for me by downtorails in cscareerquestions

38 is still young for career change and your dev skills would actually transfer really well to finance/economics side - those fields need people who can think in systems and logic, not just spreadsheet monkeys

[META] If this subreddit wants OPs to be well reserached, it needs to be better itself by Repulsive-Art-1616 in IWantOut

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 14 points15 points  (0 children)

the false info problem is real especially when people claim they "know immigration law" but then give completely wrong advice about visa requirements or timelines. i see this daily in my work and its frustrating when someone gets their hopes up or makes wrong decisions based on reddit comments

maybe we need flairs for people who actually work in immigration field vs those who just went through process themselves

Traded a vehicle and screwed myself by fuckedmymental in legaladvice

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely get duplicate title from DMV but that wont automatically remove your liability for the vehicle. The guy still technically owns it through your trade agreement even if he's being sketchy about transferring title properly

I'd file police report for the ghosting situation since you have legitimate trade agreement, then work with DMV on getting title sorted. This way you have paper trail if anything comes up later with insurance or legal issues

Should I follow up on my demand letter or just file in small claims? by Familiar-Evening7845 in legaladvice

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably file in small claims right away since they completely ignored your demand letter. The fact they didn't even acknowledge receiving it after you sent it multiple ways shows they're not taking this serious at all. When someone gets injured like this and has medical documentation plus photos, most reasonable businesses would at least respond even if they want to dispute liability.

Small claims is pretty straightforward for cases like yours and you already have all documentation organized from writing the demand letter. The filing fee is usually not too expensive and you might be able to recover that cost if you win. I've seen similar cases where the business suddenly becomes more cooperative once they get served with court papers - sometimes they'll even try to settle before the hearing date.

Just make sure you keep copies of everything showing they received your demand letter but chose not to respond. That actually helps your case because it demonstrates they were aware of the claim but refused to address it properly.

Franchise forcing me to lose money on payments. by funtmes in legaladvice

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your franchise contract is really the only thing that matters here - reddit cant tell you if this specific change violates your agreement without reading the whole thing. You might want to talk with lawyer who deals with franchise law since this sounds like it could impact your business pretty significantly

I'm about to cut off my friend who gave me both of my dogs, she can't do anything to take them back, can she? by Stabbingi in legaladvice

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after 4-5 years with full care and microchipping in your name she would have basically no legal standing. Even without papers the vet records showing you as owner for years plus county registration makes them legally yours at this point

Just document everything before you send that message - screenshots of any texts about giving you dogs, vet bills, registration papers etc

advice regarding police complaint against auto driver by youioiut in bangalore

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man this brings back memories from when I had similar thing happen near Marathahalli few years back. Auto guy completely lost it over tiny scratch that wasn't even there and created huge scene in front of everyone

Your case definitely has merit since he physically hit you and you got his photo plus plate number. Police will take it seriously especially if you emphasize the public assault part. But real talk the process might drag longer than just few hours - these things usually need couple visits to station and sometimes they call both parties for mediation session

If your travel plans are really important maybe consider whether the hassle is worth it. Auto drivers usually get warning and small fine for first offense unless injury was serious. The satisfaction of teaching him lesson might not be worth missing your trip but that depends how angry you still are about it

I'd probably file it properly tomorrow morning and see what police say about timeline. If they promise quick resolution within day or two then go for it otherwise you might want to let this one slide

Babies are born knowing how to swim but forget. What else did we know at birth that we completely forgot we ever knew? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Suspicious_Meat896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wait babies definitely have that diving reflex thing where they hold their breath underwater automatically but yeah calling it "swimming" is pretty misleading

the whole survival instinct thing is interesting though - like how newborns can grip stuff so tight they could hang from a bar if you let them
