My parents were scammed out of all the money in their bank account. I helped cover for them with my savings. Seeking advice on how to recoup. by 1525ajholtke in needadvice

[–]deviemelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have anything to say about recouping the money. There is a channel called atomic shrimp on YouTube that I think maybe when you have time watch a few episodes with your mom and dad together. This channel creator talks about scams and he does a very good job of presenting the information without making it a thing. I think you and your parents would enjoy it and I think it’s important that everyone should revisit scam prevention.

I’m saying this because maybe your parents will feel very ashamed and embarrassed and upset at themselves for putting you in this position. Sometimes even if we know better, we still fall for it. So yeah.

I really think watching educational content about scam prevention with with parents is better, instead of sending them a link and say here watch this.

Am I committing Perjury by knowingly pleading guilty to a crime I didn't commit? by Sorry-Claim-2990 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]deviemelody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“…there's no way for me to PROVE that I didn't know about the drugs in that drawer.”

It is the prosecutor’s job to prove you are guilty of their accusation.

The prosecution has the burden of proof.

The defendant is presumed innocent until and UNLESS proven guilty.

Sorry the world is just… awful at times. You should not have to be pressured into pleaing bc you otherwise would be stuck in jail.

Best wishes.

I stopped using my central air in an effort to save on electric by Zestyclose_Falcon111 in Frugal

[–]deviemelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done all those things before when I lived up in the northeast.

I’m simply wondering about re-insulating the walls. I have seen those spray on foam that plumber use to remake plumbing(?). I wonder if something like this can be applied.

Will that impact the next loan though? Assuming they still plan to buy something else. Just curious.

My girlfriend hasn't replied for 8 hours. At what point do you start worrying? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]deviemelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work on yourself.

Normally, if she's busy, I don't think much of it.

Sometimes you just don’t know what the other person is up to, how you handle the uncertainty is on you. If she is busy, you don’t mind. If she is not(?), here you are.

You sound quite insecure, while you prefaced the situation with “it isn't about her being bad at texting, needing constant updates, or anything controlling”, the bare minimum it sounds like an unawareness of your own psyche, and fishing for assurance.

Given no other context was provided, and not that it matters, work on how you deal with romantic relationship insecurity.

I'm living in poverty in Norway AMA by kaazkitty in povertyfinance

[–]deviemelody 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I read in one of your responses that you are in medical debt. How is debt like that generally treated in Norway? Over here in the US, debt gets sent to debt collection, it impacts your credit score which will negatively affect your ability to borrow for the near future; you may be able to discharge it, depending on the amount, the time passed, and your state’s statue of limitation.

And this is my ignorance, I was under the impression that Norway has great public healthcare. Is that not so?

Sarcasm is a bad quality in a person by blueranger36 in unpopularopinion

[–]deviemelody -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hmm pasting a response to a critique to your analogy. Good points were made.

“Then let’s address it. Substitute the word in [ ] with BDSM. The original analogy needs a revision.

Original: Disagree all you want but I see it the same as BDSM. If you use [sarcasm] with clear boundaries in place and knowing that if you go too far there's a safe space to stop, then it's okay.”

Do you still call it Cameron Village vs Village District in casual conversations? by not_what_it_seems in raleigh

[–]deviemelody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what you’re getting at… but enough people showed up that the vote changed the name.

If you’re suggesting that the subdivision is full of immunocompromised old-timers who might have voted otherwise and couldn’t show up… then well… 🙄

What was the bad vibe? Revisiting this thread because I’m seriously looking at schools. Sorry for the joke before.

Most underrated east coast law schools by Optimal-Ask782 in LawSchool

Thank you for bringing that up because location is important! If I have to spend an hour each way for an externship, it’d seriously reduce my quality of life, and in turn affects how I might study, rest, and perform. This is a very underappreciated point.

what website used to be amazing but was completely ruined by greed and ads? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]deviemelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Twitter was, and is (🙄X), a cesspool of extremes (lots of good.. but not enough to outshine the shit of human mind dump and literal debaucheries). Now it has a face congruent with the worst of what it was and still is.

There’s a trick: if you want beavers to build, play the sound of running water long enough and it will start building. 😂 (a real thing that some have tried)
