| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:21 AM PST I recently matched with a guy on tinder who is a "verified twitch partner." I decided to see what he streams and at first it was okay, but on certain days of the week I found that he streams tinder the second half of his stream. Well I figured out what day we matched and when he messaged me and it aligned with his stream days. I wanted to see if I appeared during his stream and lo and behold I show up once when he initially swiped me, then a second time on a different stream he showed everyone the message I had sent him (before I found anything out). So my question is, is this fully legal? He's using these girls as content, fully showing their tinder profile, location, linked instagrams, and messages they've sent, to random people. None of these girls are even aware that this is happening, I didn't know until I "snooped" around and found his twitch. I feel like this isn't illegal but just walking the line of extremely weird and creepy. Edit: I appreciate the advice people have offered. I didn't think this was illegal but I wasn't sure exactly what could be done, if anything. I've reported his accounts, both the streams I was in and just account in general and I've notified some of the girls I knew that was shown on his streams. They've also reported him so we'll see. I've gotten several messages about people telling me that I need reminded of what I post on social media is public, which I fully understand. My profile is very average and isn't sexualized in any form. This being said, I'm more concerned about the girls who are seen on his stream since they are completely unaware of what he's doing. But thank you again it's been helpful, hopefully something will come out of reporting him. [link] [comments] |
| Neighbor has personal property on my land (Ohio) Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:00 AM PST I recently purchased several acres of property. I have discovered that my neighbor has personal property located on my land including a fence, a woodpile that extends onto my property, deer stands and deer feeders. Additionally, his driveway encroaches slightly (1-2ft) onto my land. Prior to finalizing the purchase and since, he has also stood outside his home and screamed obscenities any time we walk on the property anywhere near the property line and as we drive past his house. And previously suggested he may harm one of my family members in a conversation to another neighbor. What are my options? Edit for additional facts: -Land was surveyed at time of sale -Fence has been up for approx 10 years (adverse possession in Ohio is 21 years) -neighbor acknowledged months ago, shortly after the property transfer that he had personal property on our land, knew where the boundary was and would be removing it, but obviously hasn't done that -deer stands and tree stands are a recent discovery that he acknowledged are his [link] [comments] |
| Just realized my old job is still paying my salary... for 6 months now. Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:38 AM PST I worked for a relatively large company as a software engineer. I left about 6 months ago for a better paying job and was making roughly 80k a year there. Around the same time I left I left that job I set up a new bank account and used the old one for all my automatic payments. I never looked at my balance and just transferred my bill money over every paycheck from my new account... I finally started get my tax stuff together and looked at my old account... they have been paying my salary since I left! I'm obviously gonna tell them about this and all their money is still in the account but it got me thinking... first. Can I get in any trouble for not knowing / being aloof and not keeping track of that account? I don't see how, but you never know. Secondly - and purely hypothetical - let's say I wasn't an honest guy and decided to see how long until they figure it out... I'm sure I'd have to pay it all back even if it went on for years but would there be some legal trouble from my side? [link] [comments] |
| Car engine died at 48k miles while under warranty, dealership wont fix it Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:21 AM PST Im gonna try to set the timeline as clear as possible on this. To start I want to note this car was bought new and I have taken this car to get the oil changed every 3-4.5k miles at various different locations, but at the same location for my last two oil changes. Recently the car engine starting making a rattle. I made an appointment to get it checked out but the rattle worsened before the appointment so I started looking myself for some issues/solutions. I read that maybe the car is low on oil. I checked the oil and it was very low (the check oil light never once came on) so i bought and put in a quart that day and took it to get the oil changed the next day. The rattle lessens but still stays and I make another appointment to get it checked out in a week. Well 300 miles after my oil change and 2 days before my appointment the engine noise is at its worst and subsequently the engine dies. I get it towed to the dealership and after they look at it they say the oil filter is damaged and the location that has been changing my oil is at fault, and there is also sludge in my engine. Im not sure who is at fault here? Both parties are blaming each other. And im also not sure when the oil filter was damaged. Edit: The diagnosis was rod knock and my car will need an engine replacement. [Virginia] [link] [comments] |
| Clinic ‘Forgot’ to Add Me To Payroll: Refuses to Pay me 1800 dollars. Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:25 PM PST I live in Texas. I work as an undergraduate research assistant for a small clinic. I was clocking 2-3 hours a week and helping them with basic tasks such as filing, data entry, and donor outreach. A month or so ago, they informed me that they had grant money that would go to waste if they did not spend it, and offered to hire me as a full time research assistant and would pay me with the grant money. They warned me in advance it would be a temporary position as the grant expired the first of February. I applied for the job internally and received it. Because I was getting paid, I switched from working 2-3 hours a week to 30-40 hours a week. I worked a total of 125 hours over 3 weeks. Today, I discovered that they were not able to 'add me to the payroll' on time, according to my supervisor. Because I was going to be paid out of grant money, which has now expired and is inaccessible, they told me there was nothing at all they could do for me and I would not be getting paid. Is this legal? Is there anything I can do to get the money I am owed? [link] [comments] |
| Can public schools require students to take a school-specific pledge? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:26 PM PST I go to a public school in North Carolina. Students are allowed to refrain from saying the pledge of allegiance, but the school has created their own pledge that students are required to recite every morning. I always sit down and stay silent when we are supposed to say the pledge, but the principal recently announced that all students must stand and recite the school pledge. Can the school force me to say the pledge? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:56 AM PST Hello, I left a large U.S. retail company in Connecticut on May 31 2019. I was then asked to come back to the same position, but in a different "market" (new location) and started as a New Employee on December 14th. I was not able to be reactivated and had to go through as a new hire again, although they kept my old employment number. I'm a new employee on the books now. My first new commission checks in January show that the company is deducting money from earned commissions for some reason. After some research, it turns out they are penalizing me for projects/materials refunded while I was not an employee (July and October) from my previous location in the other market. Somehow, I don't think this is right. Any insight here is appreciated before I go to the powers at be with a case here. Are they allowed to do this? [link] [comments] |
| Fired for writing a letter of recommendation Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:33 AM PST (Michigan) So my friend was a supervisor at a manufacturing facility. One of his employees applied for a new position with a different company and asked him to write a letter of recommendation for him. This employee got hired by the new company and the owner found out about the letter of recommendation. He ended up firing him for writing it as it "wasn't in the best interest of the business". So I know it's at will employment and everything but if it was cited as cause, is there any recourse? He was essentially acting as a reference and got fired for it, seems a little excessive to me. Any advice would be great, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:20 PM PST I live in Sacramento and don't have kids so it can't be for child support and I do not owe back taxes. I have never even been to Inglewood. It's only ~600 dollars but this is very frustrating and I don't feel I have a lot of options. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:50 PM PST About three months ago I witnessed some children destroying public property, so I posted on the neighborhood group looking for the parents so that the kids could be reprimanded by their parents since the children themselves wouldn't tell me where they lived or who their parents were. I didn't give out any personal information that could have identified the children, and I obviously realize now that I should've just called authorities in the first place. Darn it having compassion, huh? Anyway, five minutes after my post the parents showed up and called the police on me for my post, saying I was making their children look bad and jeopardizing their future. I did no such thing. Cops wrote it off as a personal issue and to settle it between us all, so I thought that was the last of it. The next morning I wake up to police at my door because my neighbor said I was harrassing her. Again, did no such thing. I was sleeping all night up until the knocking woke me up in the morning. They took our separate statements and told us to ignore each other. Finally peace and quiet for several weeks, until today. Today my boss calls me into her office and asks me about the park incident, said some lady called her freaking out wanting to know my full name and was mad she couldn't find me on social media anywhere to get it. She also told my boss she called all the banks around town to see if she could get my full name (used my address to check mortgage information I assume), and was mad no one would release that information. Clearly she is harassing me and possibly stalking me. I have not communicated with her at all. Is there anything I can do to get her to stop? Calling my work over something like this that happened months ago is completely ridiculous and I'm tired of it. [link] [comments] |
| Can I be held accountable for something I did while sleepwalking? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:08 AM PST USA, SC so I have a history with sleepwalking. I have done lots of weird stuff while sleep walking. Last night I apparently caused property damage and I hit someone. Can I be held accountable for this even tho I have no recollection and was sleep walking and unresponsive according to the victim? Edit: I have paid for the property damages but my roommate is wanting to press legal charges against me for hitting him in the face. [link] [comments] |

| Could someone please tell me what "the answer" is? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 11:03 AM PST So this is more of a question than a plea for advice, although I wouldn't mind some advice about my situation. I feel like I'm trapped in a Kafka novel at the moment. So about 5 years ago, a major credit card company decided that they didn't want me as a customer anymore. They took me to court and won a judgment against me for the amount I owed on the card. While it sucked, it wasn't a bad deal really: 5 years to pay and 0% interest on the balance. The law firm doing the collections set up my payment plan and my payments were automatically debited from my bank account until July of 2019. At that point the payments stopped being taken out of my account. In retrospect I should have confirmed that the debt was paid but, alas, I didn't. I assumed it had and assumed that the payments were no longer debited because the debt was satisfied. Boy was I wrong. Last week (January 29th) I go into my online banking and see all my accounts have a $0.00 balance. There's also a mysterious debit amount with "hold" next to it. I called my bank and they told me it was a legal order to freeze my accounts from the law firm that had been collecting my debt payments. I call them and they say "Yep. That's us. You haven't made a payment since July 2019." I told them I thought the debt was satisfied and they told me that no, their "system" can't set up more than 12 months of payments and I was somehow supposed to magically know to call them and set up another payment plan. I recall having done this maybe once before,but it seems a long time ago. Either way, I never received any notices about this -- I would have definitely opened a letter from the court or from this law firm immediately -- and was never served with any papers or even received any sort of certified mail or anything else that could be tracked in terms of a notice. That's BS point 1. The second piece of BS (and what my question is reallly about) is that the debt collectors say that they can't unfreeze my account without "the answer" from my bank. I have spoken to my bank and they have told me several times that "the answer" was sent a week ago today (on 1/29) but as of yesterday (2/4) the law firm hasn't received it. I have tried multiple avenues to get "the answer" from my bank but 1)they won't let customers speak to their legal department; and 2) they say I can't have it anyway. In the meantime I have absolutely no ability to use my bank accounts or access my funds. What is this mysterious "answer" that's holding up my life? Is there anything I can do? I live in Maryland and know that I can fille for an "exemption" on the levy for up to $6,000 so I could have access to my funds, but I've been told it can take weeks for the courts to process this. The other alternative that would free up my money (from my understanding) is to file for bankruptcy, but obviously this isn't my first choice. tl/dr: I have a levy that has frozen my bank accounts. The collection firm says that they can't do anything until they receive "the answer" from my bank. My bank says they've sent it and that I can't have a copy of it, but the collections people haven't gotten it yet after about a week. What is this mysterious document? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 03:08 PM PST I am a contract employee for a bank and my employment agency has told all of the contractors working at the bank that it is mandatory for us to work an extra shift every week until June, resulting in a work week of over 48 hours. We are also not allowed to call out sick on those mandatory days. If we do, we will be written up and after 7 such write ups, we will be fired. Two problems stem from this. First, the bank at which we have been placed has said that if overtime is not offered, we are not to show up on those days. If we do, we will be sent home. But if we do not clock in on that day, our placement agency marks us down as having missed work. Second, the brother of one of my coworkers is a legal assistant and he has told us all that such a request is illegal. Overtime CANNOT be mandatory and employers cannot force employees to work overtime. However, the state in which I am working is very employer friendly. If I am fired, I cannot fight it. So, I don't know if I am being abused by my employment agency and, if I am, what I could do about it if anything. [link] [comments] |
| My boss forbids us from talking about our current job in resumes/cover letters Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:34 PM PST My boss has implemented a rule of not being allowed to discuss our work outside of the office. This includes resumes, cover letters, other job application documents etc. It's an incredibly toxic work place so I am in the process for applying for new jobs, but my best and most relevant experience is my current job so it would be incredibly for me to get another job without speaking about my current role. Also weird to not discuss it either. I work in DC, so as expected word gets around and I would not be surprised if it gets back to my boss that I am trying to leave. My guess is while this is shitty, it's legal... [link] [comments] |
| Employer has been denying us breaks but is still docking it from our pay (PA) Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:11 PM PST So I work 3rd shift for a fairly large gas station/food mart on the east coast. I've been at this job for a little over 3 months. When I started, I was informed that on 3rd shift we dont get breaks because we dont have enough people to cover. Our store is severely understaffed and we literally only have 3 or 4 people working at a time during my shift. Every other daytime shift gets a break except for us. I never said anything before because I'm very poor and need the paycheck. However, I recently discovered that despite us not receiving a break while on shift, management has been falsely recording a 30 minute break into my timecard and deducting it from my paycheck. This set me off because I already work so hard at this job and I deserve to earn every cent I worked for. I sent a complaint through to corporate but I am worried they will not take me seriously. What precautions should I take from this point moving forward? I've never had this problem before and I have no idea what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:56 AM PST I was recently invited to interview with a Massachusetts company. In the invitation to interview that they sent, they included a candidate expense report as an attachment, with directions on how to fill it out. The employer is 457 miles away from my home address and was aware that I was traveling. They now tell me that I was never approved for travel expenses, and have apologized for not communicating that to me. My question is, is the email they sent with the attached candidate expense form enough for a court to understand that I justifiably relied on their given information? The total expenses come out to over $800. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:19 PM PST If it can be proved that local police systematically refuse to follow up or examine evidence in cases of assault, burglary, etc., what can the local community do? I guess we could set up a neighborhood watch, but the police have made it clear that they aren't interested in examining evidence anyway. Could the local community petition the state to take over the local police force until they improve their closure (arrest) rate? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:36 PM PST I'm freaking out right now and I'm hoping I can get some input on my situation, because it sounds like I may be in trouble with a sexual consent case. I met a girl online and the first night she came over we made out and had foreplay until we both had an orgasm. After that she went home and I went to sleep. The second night she came over we had foreplay again until she had an orgasm. She then began to please me orally. Then I thought it would be fun to tease her by rubbing my penis on the upper part of her vagina in the missionary position until I ejaculated on her stomach. She said having sex wasn't a good idea and I agreed. I told her how I wanted to tease her and she said "Okay." I started the teasing process and that's when she got really turned on. After about 30 seconds of rubbing she got really excited and grabbed my hips and started thrusting her vagina up and down. There was so much lubrication that with both of us thrusting up and down against each other my penis slid inside her and we were officially having sexual intercourse. I pulled out immediately and ejaculated on her stomach. She was upset afterwards, but said she got in the moment because she loves having sex after she orgasms. Today I decided to text her and tell her I think it's a bad idea for us to hangout again because she's looking for something long term, and that's not something I can offer. Now she's saying that I had sex with her without consent and she's going to talk to her therapist about it. I'm freaking out and not sure what to do. Any legal advice would be very appreciated. Thank you so much. [link] [comments] |
| Can a teacher at a public school legally go on a anti-gay rant? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:33 AM PST A teacher at my child's public middle school recently decided to lecture on gay rights. It was less a discussion and more about how we live in a Christian country and people who are gay should not be able to force their rights on "us" (her words) and how it is a sin and those with homosexual feelings should repress them. There is an openly gay child in the class that just happened to be absent that day. Is there any kind of repercussions this teacher could face? We are located in TN. [link] [comments] |
| Niece got hit by a drunk driver Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:19 PM PST This happened last weekend in Texas. My 16 year old niece was sitting at a red light and was hit from behind by a drunk driver who didn't even hit the brakes. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance and had X-rays and pain meds administered before being released 6 hours later. Her face is severely swollen from hitting the steering wheel and her neck is still sore 5 days later. Her car was totaled, and is worth $4k according to her insurance company (she had full coverage on it). The drunk drivers insurance company wants a medical statement from her, I guess so they can figure out what to pay her for pain/suffering/medical bills? What kind of recourse does she have? What is the best move at this point? Can my niece sue the drunk driver in civil court for pain and suffering/lost wages, etc? Is she just shit out of luck and has to deal with emotional trauma and replace her car with 4k from her insurance company? Her car was passed down and had a solid service history almost since new, so no way she'll find a car as solid for 4k. Appreciate any help Reddit can give. [link] [comments] |
