Help, my neighbor I shall regale you as Trondheim refuses to eat the white asparagus I cook at the monthly village gathering and when I tell him that christ did not bless me a farm from my father that grew the tender meat of chickens he steadfastly eats he calls me a cuckold though I am not even married.

If the two people and families are pretty or even just mildly involved in church it can be a surprisingly big issue. For instance, who officiates the wedding, do the children get baptized as infants, and is loving a thing married couples can do for fun or is it a sinful act suffered through only for procreation with resignation in the hopes that god can absolve you of your debased nature.

There shouldn't be anything complicated about the necessity of reuniting with the Holy Mother Church.

idk man it's a real concern, good thing to get ahead on it if you're planning a LDR where one of you goes to heaven while the other joins the ranks of the damned

[San Francisco, California] Boss stole co-worker's car and hid it as a "prank" then pinned the blame on me, will this affect my chances of US citizenship?

quote:

I'm 24, Australian, from Brisbane, working in San Francisco for a tech startup. I've been here for six months now. Boss hired me via LinkedIn, it's not bad here in CA, bit like Brisbane sort of.

On Monday afternoon the boss took my co-worker's car from the car park (some sort of minivan, IIRC, it said Olds on the front) and then hid it round the corner on a side street. I was on a lunch break at the time. The boss was drunk when she did it, she had a can of beer in her hand, this was like, half 1 in the afternoon, IIRC. My car was parked next to the co-workers (it was a beatup old Accord, but it gets me to work and back... just). I think some people saw it.

On Tuesday she called me into her office and accused me of stealing my co-worker's car yesterday lunchtime (yesterday being Monday). I said no, told her that I didn't do it but she pinned the blame on me, told me not to tell anyone it was her, she told me I'm suspended from Friday for 3 weeks.

I've only been at the firm for 6 months now.

Could this incident affect my chances of getting US citizenship, in addition to the Australian citizenship I already have, and British citizenship (my dad's from Sydney, mum's a Londoner)?

Seeking advice here, new to the US and not really understanding your legal system.

Cheers guys. Already feeling stressed over it.

New plan. I'm going to open a heroin store and hire only addicts and use this business model. I'm going to save so much overhead!

I also get forty hours a week on the clock :ssh:

That said I'm still broke a lot of the time because bills are expensive and being able to pick up a couple hours here and there at 20/hr is nice when I want to buy stuff related to a hobby I've had my entire life

I'd rather get 1.5x pay in real dollars I can use anywhere for my overtime instead of 2x pay in fun bux. It's like when an employer gives you "comp time" for working overtime instead of paying you for the hours they owe you.

I would spend it on comics poo poo anyway because I don't spend real dollars on comics poo poo now

It's my only real hobby, I don't go to dinner or movies or whatever because I'm an anxiety ridden weirdo, so given that money in real dollars I'm still going to drop it on comics stuff because that's my Thing

I approached the U.S. embassy about this just yesterday and they provided photocopies of my emails and my signed statements that I was of sound mind and judgement and fully understood the ramifications. My statements were completely cognizant and reasoned. It was at the recommendation of the person attending me that I started this reddit. They(singular) told me they were not a lawyer and recommended I ask for advice online.

I love this. "I realized how bad I hosed up and asked for help. They showed me where I basically said "I don't want help from you no take backs" and said that meant they couldn't help me. Why can't I get help?"

Can you at least leverage your position to re-sell your comic baubles for full value online for profit? You have to understand it's still a lovely position to be in, gotta value your time man.

I've done it before, bought a bunch of Magic cards that I knew would go up and resold them to pay first months rent and deposit on a new apartment.

Generally though I only do it for a couple hours, spread out over a month, buy some poo poo that I don't want to spend real money on, and then I stop until there's something else I want to buy

Which is actually pretty infrequently now that I don't buy single issues, honestly. I think the last time I actually bought something was like six months ago.

Like I said, I just don't like people framing it as "he works for comics"

I work to pay my bills, and sometimes I do a little extra work so that I can indulge in my only hobby. If I was paid normal overtime (which let's all chuckle at that being a thing that totally exists in retail especially in a small business) I would still be spending that money in the store, because that's what I enjoy

Like one of the big ideas of safe BDSM poo poo is that the sub actually has a lot of power because they're the one who can go STOP and it stops period end of story, completely removing one person's agency is loving terrifying

It's also a really, really bad idea from a legal standpoint because it turns out that courts do not recognize "no take-backsies" as a legally binding agreement w/r/t to consent to sexual activity.

It's the same with salaried workers here but things like retail usually pay by the hour, and thus they get overtime.
