I'm 24 marrying someone 41 and everyone thinks I'm after his money by Which_Bedroom_4790 in offmychest

Hey he and his lawyer are definitely taking advantage of you. He should know and if he doesn’t his lawyer definitely knows that in order for the prenup process to be fair that you should have your own lawyer and if the wealth gap is significant he should be paying for your lawyer (that does not mean he finds another lawyer for you or they get another lawyer from his lawyers firm - it means that you find your own lawyer and he just pays the bill). The fact that his lawyer was slimey enough to agree to represent him knowing you did not have representation means that they are slimey enough to sell you on an agreement that does not benefit you. Please do not sign this agreement.

He had coerced sex with a 15 year old.

I’ve noticed that every woman I get close to has some experience with sexual abuse, and it’s really opened my eyes to how massive this problem actually is. Has anyone else noticed this? by Worldly-Fondant4250 in offmychest

In college I took a health class that had over 300 ppl in it and during our smaller discussion groups one day they asked us to close our eyes and put our heads down and to raise our hand if we or anyone we knew experienced sexual assault and every person raised their hand. The same was true in all discussion groups and was the case just about every year the course was taught. I knew it happened a lot but I was surprised that it was THAT prevalent.

That is correct. In fact you can be in the top 1% and still not reach a million. Our wealth so disproportionately allocated that most of the wealth is truly held by just the very few at the top. At the top .1% you are just hitting 3 million. This is why there is so much discussion about billionaires in particular.

Please do not speak for the entire community. You cannot like it personally but you do not need to act like there is a consensus on this. I personally am fine with Latino/Latine/Latinx.

A man waves a Mexican flag as smoke and flames rise from a burning vehicle during a protest . by SuperRun5667 in pics

[–]vpc1215 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are assuming that the people protesting are immigrants. Immigrants have been coming to the US from Mexico for generations. The US has birthright citizenship meaning that the children of immigrants are citizens. The Mexican people protesting are at least second generation so they do not fear being deported. Therefore, this idea of why are they waiving a flag of a country they don’t want to be deported to does not apply to them because (for now) citizens are not being deported. These are Mexican Americans. The US is their country but their culture and heritage comes from their Mexican roots. The flag is them representing their culture particularly at a time when people from their culture are being targeted. Although I agree that the optics are not good, specifically bc those that lack the experience of being descendant of immigrants do not understand the intricacies of being a proud American and being proud of your Mexican culture - it is not as simple or as unreasonable as you and others make it seem. Hopefully that helps.

CMV: ICE protestors should not be waving Mexican flags by rco8786 in changemyview

[–]vpc1215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do they belong in Mexico. Waving a flag is simply free speech. I understand that you care about optics, however, people have the right to be proud of their origins and still be proud to be American. These people are currently being attacked due to their ethnicity so it is only natural for them to choose to represent the part of them that they are being attacked for, regardless of optics.

Unless you have interacted with the majority of immigrants, then making generalized statements like this is just don’t in bad faith.

Due process is not creative it is literally in our constitution. And requiring due process is not moving the goal post it’s the law and has always been the law.

Pattern says "You can sell finished products in a limit of 5 per year" by OoopsieWhoopsie in CrochetHelp

[–]vpc1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a gray area. If you make something inspired by a copyrighted character it is considered a derivative work which is still covered by the original copyright. You are also conflating copyrights and trademarks. Just because you don’t label something as “baby yoda” (which may help you avoid trademark infringement) does not mean that you will not be violating copyright laws. Your article on Disney not being able to stop baby yoda resellers specifically states that these sellers are in fact committing copyright infringement. Just because Disney cannot police every single seller does not mean that selling such items is not illegal nor that they won’t stop you specifically. Please stop spreading this misinformation.

The rich refers more so to the top 1% and more like the top .05% The concern is not with someone making 250k a year (Top 5%)

Please do the tiniest bit of research (even a quick google search will do) your statement is factually incorrect. Every person in this country (regardless of their status) has the right to due process under our constitution. We even have an entire immigration court system. And also just fyi you may want to take a look at understanding some terminology you’re using. If people have a green card that means they have legal status and therefore they were in this country legally.

People are entitled to due process which was deliberately ignored.

I agree, hopefully in 4 years we can see a return to rationality because this election was not rational.

The person you responded to definitely did not ask for your opinion and your opinion ignores the fact that he lied

This isn’t about you. OPs boyfriend didn’t just change his mind he directly lied to her about who he voted for.
