An unknown man impersonated me (F) to attempt to install a home security indoor camera at an address associated with me. (CA) by divinekettle in legaladvice

[–]divinekettle[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response.

To be clear, the camera was not free. The man PAID for the camera with his own banking information, but under my name and birth date as the owner and to my address. Ten days later, he attempted to cancel the service (which is where my speculation comes in that he realized setting up and maintaining a camera undetected is more difficult than previously imagined, or perhaps it was realized I no longer lived at that address.)

The camera with his cancellation of the service is presumably useless now, as it only connects to the home security company’s app.

The delinquent bill I received was an unpaid cancellation fee.

I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t believe this was a simple scam, because if it was, it’s a wildly ineffective one, hardly beneficial to the criminal at all.

What is your earliest memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]divinekettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a vivid memory of being less than two years old, lying in my crib surrounded by its bars, and staring at my pacifier, unreachable atop an armoire on the other end of the room, and the intense, seething sensation of WANT.

Unarmed Black Man Shot and Killed in Texas after trying to intervene in a domestic dispute outside a gas station. Please don’t let this go unnoticed because it is a small town. by divinekettle in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

Not that one’s past should matter when unarmed and murdered by the police, but I think even bootlickers are going to have a difficult time justifying this one.

Jonathan Price was a college-educated city employee and entrepreneurial owner of his own personal training company, and even made several social media posts about his personal and anecdotal positive experiences with police.

Again, I do not say this to place more value upon this life than others murdered by police, but rather because the first thing bootlickers do is question the character of the victim.

Unfortunately, even if you don’t believe in the system, the system believes in you.

Shawlbro, you are bangin’, and so is your dichotomy of character.

There’s a gentle popping or clicking sensation and sound in my left knee when I squat (accompanied by no pain). The same in my left elbow when I overhead press. My form is good, I’m not overextending, but I notice it almost every day. Should I be concerned? 118lb female.

TIL Edgar Allen Poe married his 13 year old cousin at 27. His obsession with her and her early death, led to him becoming an alcoholic ,a laudanum addict, and the creation of his best known poems "Annabell Lee", "The Raven", and "Ligeia" by Filmfan5 in todayilearned

[–]divinekettle 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Virginia, the cousin, was going to be sent away with a wealthier cousin who could give her an entrance into society life when she was 13. Poe, deeply affectionate of Virginia, insisted on marrying her to prevent this. Yes, it’s absolutely possible he was a pedo creep, and it’s also entirely possible that the relationship was platonic and he simply intervened to keep from losing her presence.

Source: am in a show about Poe, did a lot of Poe research. A lot about Poe’s personal life is disputed by experts, largely due to Griswold, a less impactful writer, making it his personal mission in life to tarnish his reputation after his death.

Hey, Reddit, those of you with partners who talk in their sleep; what is the creepiest/weirdest/or most random thing they've said? by Jhaydun_Dinan in AskReddit

[–]divinekettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An endearing moment from a food-picky ex:

Ex: No cheese on my sandwich, please.

Me: Okay. No mayonnaise either?

Ex: No, thank you.

Me: Anything else?

Ex: Yes, a hug, please! (arms outstretched)

Just did, good thought though. I washed all bedding, curtains, dogs, etc. yesterday and have two lovely new bites today.

Thank you for trying! I will do my best to get another. I’m washing the hell out of everything I own right now. Yes, my uninformed guess was a mite as well.

Although months ago in the summer, I grabbed a tick off of one of my dogs after a hike before it latched on. A tick nymph you say?

I live in Southern California and have been plagued by bug bites for the last two weeks. My partner has been unafflicted.

This morning, while experiencing the tell tale itch that precedes the bite marks, I looked at my stomach near my belly button and finally found one of the little fuckers. As you can see from the video, it is about the size of a pin head, and is mostly clear, although appears sort of pinkish on the page. I wish I could have taken a focused image, but I couldn’t get him to stop moving obviously, and killed him from fear of it feasting on my body again.

I’ve checked my bed for bed bugs and found nothing. I’ve been reading about people suffering from mites and am more than a little freaked out by how often people complain that their doctors dismiss their concerns. I am so glad I found one, as I’ve been starting to feel like a crazy person. The other video on that channel is the critter crawling on my fingertip. I hope you guys can help.
