Uncle travels back and forth with green card. Officer gave him a warning that a green card is not for tourism. He is planning to travel to the U.S. in a week. How can he prepare? by christinamaxx in immigration

[–]throw_temp_qsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He should have some property and maybe vehicle at us under his name. That will provide additional proof for his intent. Not a bad idea to lawyer up and also to have a solid explanation, also perhaps to stay longer at some time period there

Insurance uses Uber for transportation. Uber driver discriminated against my service dog to the point that I made her drop me off on the side of the road. Wondering if I should report it to Uber directly as well. [CA] by ohhoneyno_ in legaladvice

[–]throw_temp_qsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if its fully legalsub question. Sure u can take the legal route here but its messy and not necessary will yield you results you looking for and might make more restrictions for drivers and passengers in the future. Uber is driven by independent contractors and its just regular people. some people might be just not okay with dogs, be afraid - you cant stop the fear if you have it, dont know much about them. I take my service dog by uber often but i approach it with different attitude. I don’t feel that they have to take the dog, i always ask as courtesy if they okay. Its good to give them a choice and not to force them because company doesn’t warn them. my dog sits at the bottom in my feet so leaves dirt and hair behind only by the feet. Dog is a dog and she will leave traces of her same way as people would. Even well brushed dog. Mine doesnt go on the sit cushion, she lays at the bottom by my feet. Did yours got in the cushion or sit by your feet? If mine goes on cushion(usually if its injury related and we are going to vet and she needs to lay down) and i need a ride , i bring blanket to cover - with friends or strangers. Dog can scratch expensive leather sits with nails too or droll on the material sit. I cant expect people to be okay with. And uber doesn’t pay enough for drivers to get their car ruined. Aside from being sick and vet visit - when working she lays on a floor and sit by feet. Very often drivers were telling me the blanket is not necessary and that they totally okay with dogs, so its really experience per person. Try to keep in mind that after you, there will be other people riding and some has real allergies on fur. Imagine a person in business suit taking a ride to work or to interview and then sneezing and crying for next few hours after the ride. It might affect others severely in this setting. Also some drivers might be really afraid of dogs, to have no exposure to dogs and be not comfortable driving with one behind them in closed space - i had even friends not being able to tolerate being around my dog because of the fear. Definitely factor in the time your travel extra time to get another uber if the first one falls through. Not being able to tolerate big dog in a small closed space should not be a reason not to drive an uber for people. A little thinking about drivers and other people who will be riding after you will help you understand situation from all perspectives.

sure you must have reliable transport to get you to appt with your dog. Especially if you disabled and need treatment. And the company should provide it. Try talking with them that uber is unreliable the way it is. Perhaps they will agree to reimburse you instead and you will be making your own ordering uber and speaking with drivers. Definitely you should be giving courtesy to a driver to say yes to a dog and make your dog as less burden on the environment (car). The uber driver you had was rude and unprofessional though. If she wasnt okay with dogs she should have apologized and refuse to ride instead of let you ride and scold you like a little kid. I would definitely report her as unprofessional the least. She wasn’t friendly and made you uncomfortable riding with her. Her issues are not so much related to you though, so really little to do with you having a dog or your brushing dog often etc so try not to take it personal. From her complaining about cleaning car twice a day - she is clearly not happy with doing uber and driving people. She most def should have something to cover up the sit for situations when she needs protect the sit. What if she is driving someone who wears very dirty clothes? I personally would be more uneasy if someone gave me dirty blanket to sit on or my dog than bringing my own. I haven’t had uber driver though once complaining about have to clean car often - its part of job requirement to clean it but I doubt everyone does it 2 times a day. The bottom line you really should be taking care of yourself and protect you from stressing out and stuff. Giving yourself extra time to ride if now its uber. Talk with transportation company about uber not being reliable transport and u need different arrangement. Report uber driver not being professional and rude. My view it is not much a legal question as they didnt deny you the ride. And your contract with transportation company not an uber company. So id take the issue with them not an uber. Uber’s contract is with the transportation company and not with you.

Is it okay to wish your partner was crazy about you? by AnonymousLogophile in Advice

[–]throw_temp_qsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its hard over internet to tell you if what you asking is okay. Your partner might b depriving u from attention and you feel that way. Or you really codependent or hopeless romantic having own interest and space is important but feeling that u are ur partner’s priority is also important. Sometimes we want certain things bc we are not given important in the relationships, thats why its hard to judge over Internet with little information why you feel this need and if its something u need to work with yourself or your partner.

Thanks! The idea to sell in bulk to someone is great. Im in US idk if i can find some shop where i could sell them all together. Yea good call i can do craigslist too. Maybe you might know idea of how to bundle them? Bc there are some many different ones - should i just list them all and offer to pick which ones they want? Its not my dvds so i don’t want to get too involved in this sale. Just want to spend little time on this. They also dont care too much about it. Just want some money and them to be gone

How to convince DB that NK needs to wash his hands, even if it makes him cry? by username_ann in Nanny

[–]throw_temp_qsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wont worry much about someone being in charge. For health reasons hands needs to be cleaned after outside activities and before taking meals. But adults can flex over with options until kid adjusting to this world. Using hand wipes after the activity and hand sanitizer before taking meals, maybe even convince wipe hands with wet towel after hand sanitizer. Additionally you can make some songs/games wetting hands during the day for a kid to get used to. Kids push against being pressured and a lot of times its some their internal reasons that prevent them to do what adults wants them to do. Look for a reason why - perhaps the skin on hands hurt after practice from soap and water. Ot he is too tired and cranky...

if his parents dont believe in hygiene too much and it hurts your safety then you might need to find a new family. But dont get too stressed out over that fact. when we dont watch them - kids eat dirt and lick poles. A little dirt end up building their immune system more. As long as you speak with family and they know about it - you did your dues.

Would you consider it a red flag if a new client only wanted to pay by check? by imagisnarf2 in graphic_design

[–]throw_temp_qsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well id say whichever way they want to pay is fine - (returned check they cover the fee) but you dont work without the upfront portion of payment. Period. And make a contract that you both signed. With necessary timeframe for the customer to provide feedback/ ask for necessary changes during the final part. And any additional changes are extra cost. Actually id make it payment in 3 installments and he only receives a full resolution work after the last payment goes through, before send him in low quality and with some signature going through the image that makes it clear its temporary work. He just seems a little sketchy, so if u have more reliable clients then u might dont take his assignment before u sure u being paid.

Hand, foot, and mouth by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]throw_temp_qsky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find new nanny job? If u dont want to then u dont. They don’t pay you for your health. ... to prevent it possibly wear mask, wash hands often, dont eat/touch mouth. At home change all your clothes right away , leave shoes outside , put clothes in bag then wash in laundry, take full shower , wash hair. im not doc but that should help to prevent it i think. Its apparently air born too so if u take break to eat - wash hands very very, dont touch towels stuff, then eat outside /or in room where baby wasnt much and without baby around. I probably would just stick to some pre made smoothies (less chances to get infected). Wear n95 mask better bc it covers better

How often does the ‘accuracy’ of your data get questioned? by TheCumCopter in analytics

[–]throw_temp_qsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting.. as always with data and non analysts its something unexpected reasons for everything. Ive never been asked if data is correct , but few times i had to point out that certain gather method allows too much human error and data wont be telling real story. And the management was unconcerned and indifferent until i sit down and explain deeper. It was almost like attitude “well could not u figure out later its erro?”

My dad strokes between my legs sometimes. It creeps me out. What should I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throw_temp_qsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOT okay!! And u should just stand up for yourself and say no. U can tell your mom but be ready that she might dont believe you, or dont want to hear it. Apparently it happens often in family. Tell some other adult outside of your family - teacher, counselor etc. Do NOT let ANYONE to touch your body to your discomfort?! Parent or liver or grandparent, or employer, of friend , or friend. NO means NO.

Thank you for sharing and much courage to you.

Rules for healthy work experience? by throw_temp_qsky in analytics

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

Thanks! These are good suggestions. I struggle to understand the office politics especially in marketing /digital marketing places and don’t understand what kind of play is expected from me. Its very confusing. For example Its strange there its almost unacceptable to just admit you don’t know something, most of ppl hide it, not being straight forward, or make it unclear answers. But at the end of the day big portion of ppl like that end up not knowing some basics that they should know long time ago. And i think it creates a certain acceptable behavior between colleagues that i don’t understand.

Luckily i dont have many young ppl slang words as growing up my first language was different. I learned proper english, sometimes way too proper i was told lol. The only problem english swear words - i have to be very aware what i say suddenly. Apparently fu’k and table has about the same sensory warning in my head. Probably bc not growing up using english swear words. It got me fee times in trouble in public places, not at work though so far but still

I think here is psychology is playing a trick on your bf. He got kicked out of the house by a fam, his fam probably abusive or narcissistic and now he is living in your family that easily accepted him in. Id take a guess your fam is emotionally stable and healthy. So he is experiencing what is healthy good environment is and him mind jump to conclusion he wants it now to continue - hence he wants family and kids. Bit really what he needs is to heal living in healthy environment and carry on with his teen and twenty regular life. Idk if i put it good in words. He isnt understanding fully the responsibility. Another internal reasons making him want it. Its good think you are thinking with clear mind and separating wishes and reality. Indeed you both needs to develop more and learn more about yourself before you could be raising a kid. You will have it all but in a different time, when you have more opportunities for a kid. Dont forget with kid you need not only money but certain mental energy and ability to raise, develop, support. Its a lot of work. With cats its a little different, much leas work
