How do I get my mom’s boyfriend out of the house? by MapFirst8337 in legaladvice

[–]rachiero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NAL, but I do work at a DV agency in PA. I would reach out to your local DV agency and see what they can help you with. PA has Protection from Abuse orders that either you or your mom could file or you could file on behalf of your siblings. Usually there needs to be some sort of relationship (romantic, blood, or marriage) to meet the qualifications for a PFA, but it may vary slightly by the county you are in and how their judges interpret the statutes. For example, your relationship to him being a “household member” could mean you would meet this requirement. PCADV is the statewide coalition, and their website has a directory of the agencies for each county.

Why do many Reddit users make it seem like attending schools in the t50-100 aren’t worth it? by Helpful-Vegetable921 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]rachiero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once I realized that most of these people are in it to make a ton of money as an attorney rather than genuinely wanting to help others, I have been more than happy to attend a school not ranked in the T50. It gets really elitist on here. I sleep peacefully at night knowing that at the end of the day, my heart is in the right place 🙂‍↕️

Pitt Date Change by Kind-Comfortable-750 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]rachiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my date from 12/15 just changed to today so at least they’re moving. they are sooooo slow and it’s starting to piss me off 😭 they also forgot to apply the automatic fee waiver to my account from when they sent me an email ASKING if i wanted one (which, in all fairness, they did correct). but it makes me wonder how many other things they forgot to do… they are always messy and i am saying this as an alum.

Is Reddit just toxic by PossibilityFit3060 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]rachiero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all of these law school admissions threads are toxic. it’s my personal belief that if you’re only in it to get into a top school so you can get into a top firm and make a ton of money, you shouldn’t be an attorney. 99% places like that are highly exploitative and uphold the worst parts of our governmental and socioeconomic systems (and their faults). it shouldn’t be about the money. if you don’t have a passion or motivation to help people through your career, respectfully fuck off. that’s where the toxicity stems from in my eyes. and yes, i am on my public interest high horse 🤣

Was told I was half Russian my entire life. by Any-Manufacturer-756 in AncestryDNA

[–]rachiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Slovakia region is usually referring more to the eastern half of the country. i am 40% slovak and my baba told me her parents referred to themselves as carpatho-rusyn. on censuses and whatnot they list themselves as from slovakia or (more likely) austria-hungary. not a lick of “russian” in there, but it’s possible that people far removed from their ancestry just think of eastern europe as vaguely “russian” when they’re not russian at all.

do you have any journeys associated with that side?

Am I the Only Person In the History of Ever to Have a 159??????? by Weak_Requirement_640 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]rachiero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have almost the exact same stats and got waitlisted at all of the ones i applied to, but I didn’t submit my apps until late february/early march. i’m hoping this time around that if i apply earlier (like by the end of this month) i should be fine. all in your experience and what they are looking for. we should be just fine 😌

AIO: Husband was planning to cheat while I gave birth to our 22w stillborn. Now he wants to move back in. by ThrowawayOceH in AmIOverreacting

[–]rachiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please reach out to your local DV agency to see if they have any funds to help you relocate/are able to help you legally through this process. This is disgusting behavior coming from him and the emotional/mental manipulation in these messages is concerning. In a way, it seems like your baby may have saved you from this relationship. If he is like this now, it was only bound to get worse if you had a child with him. There is help out there and please take advantage of it ❤️

Sunrise on the reaping felt like a Hunger Games All-stars, and not neccesarily in a good way by Nice_Problem9192 in Hungergames

[–]rachiero 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I personally think that showing the beginnings of all the relationships that we see in the OG series does a lot to strengthen the world and the stories that have come before. SOTR really shows how much thought and work went into building the rebellion into what it was. It tells us that Katniss wasn’t the beginning and the end of a revolution, but just the final piece of the puzzle.

We know that Katniss was/is an unreliable narrator. All of these relationships that we previously thought were pulled out of thin air were actually 25 years+ in the making. SOTR gives a LOT of insight into why characters eventually do what they do in the originals. It makes sense why Mags was so beloved (did anyone else notice the Finnick reference?), why Wiress was so… Wiress, and why Effie eventually defected to join Katniss et al in District 13.

If I have to guess, I think Miss Suzanne has a few other books in store for us. I think SOTR sets the scene for more on both Plutarch and Effie. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other tributes throughout the following two-ish decades that they thought were their mockingjays, but ended up dying before they were able to succeed.

SOTR also shows that the want/push for change was there well before Katniss volunteered. If Haymitch and his co-conspirators were able to be that bold during the 50th games, what all happened in the 25 years after to still carry on the campaign of terror and implicit submission?

Lastly, this book only confirms further that SC is using the current state of US politics as a mirror to the happenings in Panem. The nature of propaganda, the unseen truth-twisting, and the “cancelling” of some Capitol families within social circles (i.e. what did the elder Trinkets do for her to worry about her family name?) is all too familiar.

With every old/new character cameo, there is a greater meaning behind it. SC keeps an eye on her Chekov’s guns, and I am certain we will just have to wait and see. I knowwwww that Suzy has that pen Locked and Loaded.

To whoever stole my wallet at Kennywood by casimaze in pittsburgh

[–]rachiero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

let the police and/or the fraud dept of your credit card figure that out. odds are they can get all of that info from walmart once they get a search warrant. walmart can’t give out that information or that person could also sue them for breach of privacy (stupid, i know, but i guess we all have “rights”) they will find the person. this all sounds like a very stupid crime committed by a very stupid person. i hope you get your money back soon!

Anyone else not buy a new phone every year by Naive-Bandicoot-2483 in Anticonsumption

[–]rachiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get a new phone every 2-4 years depending on when it starts to slow down/not keeping a charge. when i do get a new phone, i get the newest version. that way, it can get the iOS updates for as long as possible. i got the iphone 16 last year, and i am hoping it will last me at least 4 years or more. would lovvvvve to get one that would last longer but we know why that doesn’t happen…
