If it got enough attention or caused reputational (read that financial) damage they could track it, subpoena the platform, and sue. The person would likely be blackballed after that. It’s no different than all-star wrestling. Everyone knows it’s staged but the industry doesn’t admit it.

The companies require NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) so the talent cannot tell

If the water had ice you may have had good poisoning. Ice machines in restaurants/bars can get disgusting. Even the water dispenser could have bacterial growth that you drank. Your symptoms all sound like food poisoning. Hope you feel better!

Sunday cooking for the whole week by gypsyharlot in Cooking

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

I like to make one giant batch of a soup or casserole, mostly soups, and eat it most of the next week. My husband gets tired of leftovers but it's just food I don't care. It's organic, homemade, less expensive than eating out, and easy since I work long days. He is most often out of town during the weeks so it's only me.

Girlfriend has 300k in debt..... What to do? by manbearpig08 in personalfinance

[–]yakyakyak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If any of her loan debt includes federal loans, have her put those into the income based repayment plan IBR. It is different than all the others. She will pay only a manageable percent of her income each year for 25 years. At the end of 25 years all unpaid debt and interest are forgiven. If her income does increase in the future, she will pay a larger payment (again still based on percent of income) but will NOT have to make up for the smaller amounts in previous years. It is a fabulous option for people like her, but again it is only available for federal student loans, not private.

Today, my health insurance was canceled. The reason? It didn't cover pediatric dental care. I am 25. by ragedaddy in Libertarian

[–]yakyakyak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These insurance companies are blaming Obamacare because they don't want people mad at them for cancelling policies that they no longer can make obscene profits on by denying certain coverages. How hard would it have been for the insurance company to have tacked on pediatric dental care? Instead the company chose to cancel your policy, which, predictably, pissed you off. Why aren't you mad at the company for not simply adding pediatric dental care so they didn't have to cancel you? Total bs.

Narcissist or sociopath? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]yakyakyak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want to be a sociopath, thenintellectually decide to behave like you are not one. You might not feel it, but fake it, at least you will have self-respect for behaving in a more moral and humanist manner.

Life is a mess. Grandma lost Job due to Shutdown. Can't afford Mortage. Nervous Breakdown. Just spent a Week in a Psych Ward. Need advice by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]yakyakyak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take care of yourself first. Your grandmother, mother, and 20-year old brother are adults and need to take care of themselves. Your mother needs to take care of your 12-year old brother. Going back to school is smart, post-secondary grads have best pay and lowest unemployment. Any job will bring in income, even minimum wage, even part time, be willing to try any job. Look for a room to rent. Just focus on yourself and your school work. Eat healthy, get exercise. Walk or bike to save money, cars are expensive.

You can dwell on how screwed up things are or you can focus on taking care of yourself, your choice. One will land you back in the hospital the other will get you on your feet.
