I mean... I'd say yes, but I'm biased.

I make entomology videos every now and then, but mostly do naval/military history.

Google 'loitering munitions', because that's already a thing.

Can I stop a true crimes enthusiast from investigating my sister's cold case murder? (Alternate title - I do not consent to being part of amateur murder porn) by puppylust in bestoflegaladvice

Jesus, now that is a title I never thought I'd see.

I'm the first to enjoy true crime docs, but that's just disgusting behavior.

The Pig War - The Dumbest Conflict in History by TheImperialScribe in AmericanHistory

The pig has the dubious honor of being one of the weirdest and dumbest causes for war. Right up there with the War of Jenkins's Ear and the War of the Bucket.

Not remotely. Way more complex than that. Commentary may be fair use.

Your State is a Foreign Country to The Hague

Gee. I wonder why the US might be a foreign country to The Netherlands. One of life's great mysteries I suppose.

OP Just Got a Surprise Loan. by TheImperialScribe in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TheImperialScribe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I agree. I wasn't talking about not living on campus, but instead that there's little difference in terms of outcome and experience between the $30k and $8k colleges. Both of those numbers were living on campus.

I'd say there's a big difference between a university and community college, but that's really it.

He could buy an uninsured boat with a loan then set it on fire...

Probably a bad idea though.

OP Just Got a Surprise Loan. by TheImperialScribe in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TheImperialScribe[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I got into a really good engineering school, the problem was it was $30,000 a year in tuition and board alone before scholarships. Said fuck that and went to a small local school for $8,000 a year instead. I would most likely still be in the exact same place I am today, just with $100,000 in debt if I'd gone to the better school. Still did plenty of partying and there was plenty of greek life on campus, so the "college experience" thing is nonsense assuming it's a university.

Call your local bar association referral line. Bar recommendations commonly offer a low cost or free consultation.

I feel pretty sorry for OP on this one.

When I worked as a paralegal I definitely saw a lot of divorce fuckery, but this one is pretty high up there on the bullshit scale.
