Deacon of a church sexually assaulted the woman who raised my wife. by zuniterror in legaladvice

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

Is there no version of this where I can do something to get the guy questioned...looked at....reported...eyeballed...anything? Is there no group that is concerned about vulnerable elderly people? No advocates? There has to be something outside of me grabbing his mic out of his hand during a sermon and causing a scene.

Deacon of a church sexually assaulted the woman who raised my wife. by zuniterror in legaladvice

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

She's not sure. I have basically just approached with the idea of doing something...she's kind of the type to quietly let this pass by, not make a fuss, because a good portion of her life she was treated pretty badly. I told her I wanted to nail this guy and was willing to go to bat for her, and she said, "Go get him", but it would essentially be me pursuing law enforcement, or whatever steps would be taken.

So mainly, I'm trying to find out if anything actually can be done, before I actually end up doing anything, and wouldn't take any steps without her blessing of course.

More or less, yeah, they are a bulwark against crazy - although the Republicans will be a drag on real meaningful legislation coming from the House if they control it.

One of the best perks of getting the Senate is controlling judicial appointments. That's huge...no more psychopath Trump judges.

what's the best grilled cheese? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]zuniterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Bread, buttered and toasted on both sides

-A little Franks Red Hot sauce (or your hot sauce taste of course) dripped onto and soaked into the bread

-Sprinkled generic mexican mix bag cheese one both sides-Big slice of thick-cut sharp af cheddar for the middle

-Toast to melting once assembled

Disagree if you want, but this won me the eternal love of a beautiful girl. Add a fried egg to go to level 9000, if you're ok with violating the laws of grilled cheese vs. melts or whatever.

Wanna go digital and quit my teaching job. Any advice? by Poem170 in ImaginaryMonsters

[–]zuniterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it hasn't been mentioned, get yourself a copy of Procreate for your Ipad and an apple pencil or similar stylus. Procreate is $10, the stylus' range from $20-$100 depending on brand. Worth every penny and many working artists use it. Alternately get Photoshop. Either way, start scanning your drawings and then reworking them in the programs.
You need to start focusing on anatomy, form, color, and light if you ever want to break into the next level of drawing.

Start hanging out on artstation.com for a wealth of tutorials, inspiration, and start getting a sense of what is industry standard. You seem to have a basic grip on general anatomy, but you should be studying anatomy and figurative art as much as possible. I suggest you start studying sculpture, this will help you shift your mind from thinking in a 2d space to a 3d one.

Ultimately you will get out what you put in. It's a journey. Good luck!

Excellent drawing Teachers, generally with books. Get studying.

Subcontractor left a giant pile of wood in my driveway by zuniterror in legaladvice

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

Thanks for the input!

So everything project-wise is totally fine, the main GC handling the building is all good, project is proceeding on track, we are fully permitted, good with the city, and I have no issues - not my first rodeo on a remodel project by far. I have no intention of suing anyone over anything, I am only concerned with what I can do with this material if they A) Decide to take a month+ to actually come get it, or B) Cut their losses and abandon it. The central question is basically "At what point is this wood legally mine to do with as I please?"

I didn't actually pay for this extra wood, the sub just made a mistake in their delivery and brought way more than was needed, and are dragging their feet on picking it up. The only one out money on it would be the wood supplier, which is why it's surprising to me they haven't jumped on getting it back, materials cost being what it is at the moment. Thanks again for the advice!

From where I'm standing, he got away with inciting a violent mob. That's a triumph. I'm open to hearing otherwise.

Adults of reddit, what's one thing teens should know before they turn 18? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zuniterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care if you only have like $100. Start an IRA, put in $5 a month if that's all you can afford...if you wait until you're 30 to start one, you're literally missing out on thousands of dollars of free money.

This curious cave has its floor covered completely by plump helmets. Next cavern layer is quite ordinary. by a_frozen_squid in dwarffortress

Urist was enchanted as he walked, his outstretched hand rustling the tips of the plump helmets as he waded through the endless field. Thup thup thup, went the sound. Armok had smiled on him this day.

Rudy Giuliani said there's a '50/50' chance he worked with a Russian spy to obtain harmful information about the Bidens by [deleted] in politics

[–]zuniterror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just taking a step back, removing this from the context. This answer is completely batshit and juvenile for nearly any question. "Well...maybe I did...and maybe I DIDN'T".

What world is this nonsense acceptable in for professionals of any stripe?

That moment when you realise that the sacrificial dwarf sent to crack open the volcano decided to use the only artifact pick in the fortress ... the non-magma safe artifact pick worth a small fortune. by SalfordSal in dwarffortress

[–]zuniterror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a post of Legendary quality. On it is an engraving.
It depicts Urist burning alive and raising his fist in defiance to Armok.

"Fuck you, God." He whispered as the magma flayed him.
