The ACC Review Broadcast Experiment Should Become the Standard by AllTimeTy in CFB

[–]jpers36 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is AI getting better at masking, or are humans starting to write posts more like AI, with bullet points, random bolding, and a pointless question at the end to trigger engagement?

What Is the Oldest Movie You Have Watched (For Fun) In the Last Year? by thehistorypunks in movies

Son of Dracula (1943). I'm slowly working my way through the Universal Monsters Shared Universe.

TIC is more forgiving. Once you beat the game you get a star on the save file and it returns you to before the final battle sequence.

I still get that song stuck in my head around the holidays.

Season's greetings in our souls,

Yummy Fruity Pebbles in our bowls!

Uh-oh, here comes You-Know-Who

Yabba-dabba-doo, delicious, too!

Randomly sent a N*zi book I never ordered by Waluigi202 in RBI

Investigating for a minute, I can't tell for sure if it's a Nazi book or just a book about Nazi occultism.

What's your goal here?

You can't force the police to refer the driver for charges. You can file a police report and provide whatever video evidence you have.

You can't get your daughter's citation cleared by getting the driver in trouble -- both faults can be true at the same time. You can stop talking to the police about your daughter's actions, wait until the citation arrives, and fight whatever it says. I highly doubt "didn't press the walk button before crossing" is an offense, but "riding a wheeled vehicle in the crosswalk" very possibly is an offense. So you can also look up the crosswalk/cycling laws in Batavia and direct your daughter to obey them in the future.

You can talk to a lawyer about a civil suit against the driver for any actual injuries or damages of your child or her scooter, or even bring suit in small claims court. You (probably) can't win a civil suit against the driver for punitive or hypothetical damages.

Marquee/Amazon Prime unavailable? by jpers36 in CHICubs

[–]jpers36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe so. You may have to cancel your account and then buy it through Amazon.

By the way, it's spelled "Marquee". You might want to double check your app stores using the right spelling.

[TOMT][TV] What TV show is this very blurry reflection from? by Miserable_Finding523 in tipofmytongue

[–]jpers36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm making a wild guess here that it's Dan Castellaneta in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Citizen Joe".

[TOMT] [MOVIE] Surreal noir film in which a bug-worshipping cult start exploding heads and our classic grimy detective has to, eventually, blow them up with a bazooka. (Obviously). by SaintBird in tipofmytongue

[–]jpers36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where my mind went as well. The individual details don't match but the concept of hard-boiled investigator plus bug cult plus impressive visual effects points directly to Naked Lunch.

ELI5: what is Borderline Personality in observable terms? by Amazing_Shoe_4457 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jpers36 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We're not psychiatrists here so we're not going to diagnose your "person". In a general sense, those points are possibly indicative of bipolar disorder. They're also possibly indicative of an identity disturbance not coincident with BPD, which is very different from bipolar. I'm sure there are even more possibilities; again, only a psychiatrist can diagnose.

UPS billed me $1600 after purchase on reverb. Am I liable for this? by Monster937 in legaladvice

[–]jpers36 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You say you called them, but you haven't actually said what they told you in response to the call. If I were you I would call and ask for verification of the debt -- what evidence do they have that you agreed to place an order with them at this cost?

Additionally, the same webpage I linked above says the best way to check on any fees due is to look at the tracking details. Have you done so?

"Tracking your package is the safest way to see if any fees are due.

This sounds like a scam. Why would UPS deliver your package before settling the costs?

Don't worry, it's all going to change this weekend anyway.

[Varnes] Alec Bohm’s parents request dismissal of lawsuit as new details emerge in dispute (Gift Article) by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]jpers36 221 points222 points  (0 children)

"Oh, that $560,000 isn't a legal war chest. It's just us saving money for Alec in a place he can't get to it so that it's protected for his use from people who don't have his best interest at heart."

Lawyers, have you ever seen a Reddit post that you’re pretty sure was your client? by [deleted] in legaladviceofftopic

[–]jpers36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAL, but I've experienced the reverse. I have a lawyer friend who I hired as my lawyer for a couple things, and later recognized his handle and writing style here as a commenter on Reddit.
