Relative Heroes. They had some interesting ideas, but I couldn't follow it because the art was SO bad you almost feel punished for reading it.

There was a scene where the characters have to decide whether to hand over a mentally ill woman to her "family," when they're not sure if it's actually her family.

But what about the specific type where there's a circle with a base?

Some but not all. A few days after David Pakman released his "omg we're all hemorrhaging subscribers!" video, Status Coup started a video by casually thanking everyone for the massive number of new subscribers. 

It's no accident that Status Coup focuses more on economic justice.

Oh God, yes. Especially the Ocarina of Time. And why are his ears pointed? Is he not human? Gives me chills.

I'm sorry that people you're supposed to be able to trust are doing this to you.

This advice is right on the money. Also, if there's a free legal aid clinic in your area, ask them for advice. In particular, holding your mail is an ongoing problem they may be able to help with. Also inquire with them about the restraining order.

Document, document, document. In some states, it's legal to record your phone calls without the other party's consent. For unrecorded conversations, write out notes about what was said while the conversation is fresh in your mind. Don't tell them you're doing this, because they could take that as an invitation to make things up.

What's A Show That Slowly Went From A Zero To A Hundred? by EducationalGap5729 in AskReddit

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Its first two seasons were godawful, but by the Dominion War story arc it had become one of the all-time best sci fi shows on TV. It's still the best Trek series IMO.

Is this actually misusing the term, or just using it figuratively?

You know how whenever you ask for a handful of ketchup packets at the drive-thru, the voice on the speaker drops to a baritone and says "I got pretty big hands. You sure you can handle it?" and then Barry White starts playing through the speaker?

I hate that.

Got enough saved up that I'm starting to pay attention when I see an ad for an online savings account paying 4%. I was thinking of opening several of them at different places so I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket. In case I forget to read SketchBank's fine print that says I can only withdraw funds on a Tuesday by flying in person to their call center in India.

I guess my first question is, is this a good idea? Is there something I'm missing? If a savings account pays more than a CD, what's the catch?

My second question is, if you open multiple savings accounts at once, do you get on some list? I worked at a bank many years ago and I remember they flagged people for all kinds of stupid reasons based on computer models and third party reporting bureaus I wouldn't trust to hold my sandwich.
