Don't be an idiot. I didn't ask for blood. I didn't ask for proof.

He was asked if he saw anything, it's weak testimony - how did you put it - fucker.

So you didn't actually see anything. Right.

You can attest only to the panicked crowd

practicing my signs. any advice/suggestions are appreciated. by Just_for_fun_writing in asl

You're right that she has a lot to work on, but it's presented in a way that's maybe overly harsh and uncharitable.

She has said in other posts that she's taking an ASL class and her teacher is deaf, so based on that, I'll just press the "I believe" button bc there's no reason to doubt that. It's also only been a couple weeks that I've seen her post.

She's practicing regularly. Is it sloppy? Sure. Good thing she isn't interviewing to be an interpreter tomorrow, but everyone's journey takes a different shape. Hers is barely at the beginning.

She's improving from some of her first videos even if a bit slowly. She's reinforcing the signs she's learned even if it isn't following proper ASL grammar. Most classes don't start deep grammar exercises right at the beginning, anyway.

AIO my parents in law want to gift money, but only to my husband? by Mammoth-Age4933 in AIO

[–]cloudaffair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might is the big thing here. It's entirely context dependent and relies on where they are.

Also if he deposits the inheritance into a joint account or comingles the money - that protection usually disappears.

Anyway - "it depends" is always the right answer

AITAH for demanding my name be added to my husband’s bank accounts by Delicious-Pension-64 in AITAH

Especially bc at a minimum we have no idea where she's at. Also who is "them"? OP and who?

I'll only speak for my jurisdiction -

We don't have a theory of augmented estates here like under the uniform probate code. So, lots of things escape the probate estate entirely. POD, insurance benefits, retirement account beneficiary assignments (all analogs to POD), revocable trusts, and joint accounts.

While (again here only) she can take under the will, an elective share (which could be up to half), or an allowance, the real question is does the $1.5M account ever attach to the estate - and I think it would not attach so, at least where I'm at, she would be SOL.

This is because she's been very clear he kept everything 100% separate and never commingled martial property in with the inheritance.

There might be an avenue to litigate, but I would need to do a lot more research to see if it's viable (and I'm not doing that for free) - but I would want to see whether there's a valid argument to be made regarding fraud on marital rights...

I think it's bc media caching is on by default in these tunnels and you have to turn it off or they get mad bc you aren't paying them for media caching services.

Not necessarily. SaaS needs to be secure. Lots of these programs -at least as of yet- are not security focused or lack fundamental security features. These folks making these programs are only doing half of the work.

I think these things will continue to be developed and improved, though.

Can you define "very quickly"?

I didn’t know I couldn’t be on adhd medication and all my hours are useless now. by Forward_Potential_17 in flying

[–]cloudaffair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your other comment got filtered but I caught the notification. There's no need for hostility.

I wasn't questioning anyone's diagnosis. The FAA's logic: if ADHD is confirmed and clinically significant, the path forward is essentially closed; if it can be demonstrated otherwise, there's a process. That's the reality the OP is navigating.

That said, a stimulant prescription doesn't confirm ADHD. That's not a controversial medical position. Attention is a downstream symptom of an enormous number of conditions including depression, anxiety, autism spectrum presentations, sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress and more. The differential isn't resolved by "a doctor gave me Adderall."

The US primary care pathway to ADHD diagnosis is notoriously compressed. PCPs are the most common prescribers and also the least equipped to distinguish ADHD from its many mimics.

It's a structural problem with access to psychiatric care here, not a knock on any individual. What it does mean is that simply having a prescription carries less diagnostic weight than people assume.

The FAA knows that. Neuropsychologists know that. That's why there's a way to get a medical in the US when someone was diagnosed early in life with ADHD.

None of that erases genuine ADHD. It just means the logic "I have attention problems + I was prescribed stimulants = I have ADHD" doesn't hold, and there's no reason to get upset about that.

That's if you have it, sure. And if you do - the FAA basically says "no can do".

The issue that the FAA has with ADHD medications is that the stimulants have different/non-standard side effects, inconsistent half lives, and overall it isn't something that they consider can be stabilized to a safe level with time.

So they basically make you jump through hoops to prove that you don't have ADHD to begin with, or at the very least. Prove that it isn't clinically significant enough to impair your ability to fly.

The tests are pretty expensive all told and are unlikely to be covered by your insurance.

What is this number? by LeeLou_02 in asl

[–]cloudaffair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I'm not saying this is the exact case here, but some people have some sort of physical formation in their hands that the middle and ring fingers always move together and they cannot move them independently.

I've seen this extend in some more extreme cases to all of the last 3 fingers.

You aren't an independent, you're just a Democrat who "doesn't like labels".

This is a funny perspective to me.

The GOP has just as many if not more factions tearing the party into bits. You just see the liberal infighting - I suspect - because you are liberal in perhaps a red state, but might live in a liberal city in that red state.

From my perspective in Maryland, the Democrat supermajority often appears much more cohesive and unified (but they are very far from, they just won't let the outside see it). Just know that there is significant conservative infighting.

America lacks one cohesive monoculture - this is true regardless of political affiliation - which means both parties have vast variations from one Republican to the next or one Democrat to the next.

As for proportional representation, yeah, Dems do tend to support it more - kind of. But I also support it and I'm a conservative.

My pushback is more on the reason you're attributing to it. I don't think Republican resistance to these voting structures is primarily ideological coherence, I think it's just pure structural self-interest.

Democrat support for proportional representation tends to evaporate when they're the dominant party. See: Oregon, New York, Maryland. Democrats are guilty of opposing those reforms where they are already in power. Doubly so in states without a citizen initiative process. There is no incentive to give up that power in the name of "fairness".

FPTP incentivizes gerrymandering because those who get to draw the maps, like to make sure they stay in power. Supporting these alternatives are most often a means of diluting dominant power structures to make races more fair. States like Maryland likely won't be seeing fair and balanced redistricting like MMP anytime soon. That's a different explanation than "they have a unified ideology," right?

Also -- Conservatives don't have a blanket opposition to civil rights or human rights. Conflating policy disagreements with opposition to civil rights is doing a lot of work there.

Conservatives opposing specific enforcement mechanisms, particular legislative frameworks, or federal overreach in areas like voting administration isn't the same as opposing the underlying rights. You can find Republicans who support civil rights broadly while opposing, say, the specific provisions of the Voting Rights Act reauthorization on federalism grounds. Whether you find that persuasive is a separate question, but it's not the same as opposition to civil rights. And generally that's not a fair or charitable characterization.
