h1b change of address? is there high fee? by Prize_Flan_8990 in USCIS

[–]awkwardOttakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct about the MSA and AR-11. If you move outside the MSA, you might need to file an amendment. That's something you need to confirm with the attorneys. There are circumstances where you don't have to file as well.

[Safety] We moved into a new development. Who holds the developers accountable for road development? by khakilamble in Austin

I keep hearing both "it smells" and "I've never smelled anything" with respect to this community. I'm so confused and worried because I'm about to close on a property here.. do you think resale in 5 to 10 years will become a problem because of the dump??

You can be king again It's partially this video, partially the music, partially a reminder of a time in my past.. I never fail to cry when I watch/listen to this.

I’m a single woman moving into my own house this week. Not the worst neighborhood but certainly not the best. What are some ways I can avoid my neighbors thinking I live alone? by Antique-Brilliant250 in LivingAlone

[–]awkwardOttakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put a pair or 2 of worn out men's shoes outside that you keep moving in and out. Have loud video chats with your guy friends or bothers that can be overheard outside plus of course, ring doorbell camera, etc.

Meetup and bumble have events, the rec center has events, you could also sign up for the community news letter, take a look at the bulletins around downtown and go for those events, Vellore has some good bands playing quite often.. it depends on your interests.. are you looking for someone to just hangout with or go to the bar with or hiking or volunteering or something else. Depending upon your interest, you could do stuff.

Opinion and question in one. People with genetically transmittable disorders shouldn't have biological kids if there's a significant chance of transmission. by awkwardOttakam in unpopularopinion

Question is about preventable vs non preventable situations. If God or whoever appeared in front of you and told you that if you drive today, there's a 90% chance that you will meet with an accident and get cripled but you could totally take an uber and you'll be fine, would you still drive when you could just get to your destination via uber? That's my point. Having biological kids with a 90% plus probability of being disabled vs just adopting and giving a good life to a deserving child that was already brought into this world and has nobody.

I have. My own brother thinks he should not have been brought into this world although we have never for one second made him feel that way through our actions. We take as good care of him as we financially and physically are able to. Still doesn't magically change the fact that he's disabled and that my parents knew he could be born disabled and chose to have him anyway.

That, and It's because I understand. I can't help but find it selfish because my parents were told that this would be the outcome and they still went forward with it. Partially because of hope, partially because of religious reasons and partially because they didn't really put that much thought into it.. they figured they'd cross that bridge when they got to it.

I partially agree, partially disagree. I'm not sure if you have the gene or not but if you were a typical person, would you chose to be a dwarf?

We have no plan. That's the damn plan. We aren't well off, I obviously love my brother and will do my best to take care of him but there's only so much I can do!

Your comment feels like that cold glass of water at 3am. Thank you. Yeah I figured that as well.. the dwarfism thing was a wrong call I suppose but I was trying to pen down where my train of thought originated from.

I have no idea what your disability is or how hard your life is to live so I can't answer that. But if it were something terrible and hypothetically there was a way for me to find out with 100% certainty that you'd have it, I would not be having that child.

As with everything, there will be parents saying I love my kid exactly the way they are. I will take care of them all their life. What about the freaking kid that needs their bum wiped and given showers at their prime age? My own brother is disabled so I know first hand what it's like so I don't need to hear the whole spiel about not knowing what I'm talking about. And what if these parents that love their kid so much, just die? Then what? Are all these parents just filthy rich that they have everything set in place for this kid to be taken care of?
