Dr. Video Games 0089 posted:Is it considered assault if I pick someone up, moved them to another location, and placed them down? The legal definition of assault varies by jurisdiction but if I recall not every place even requires physical contact, never mind actual injury. The most benign definition is something like causing someone to be apprehensive about imminent physical harm, basically threatening someone. So I guess in the worst case you might be in court trying to convince a jury that whatever you did (picking someone up and moving them) didn’t cause them to fear physical harm, which seems like an easy thing for the other person to “prove” if they wanted to. e: not a lawyer or even an expert, I just recall that the bar seemed low to me and it is basically defined by the “victim.”

Yeah, battery is any unwanted physical contact, it can easily be kicked up to assault if a prosecutor wants. You can technically catch a battery charge for giving someone a bad haircut. Bouncers, bartenders and security personnel have different limits regarding what they can do, and how the drunk person is acting. In California you are supposed to only firm lead people out by the shoulder, but I've seen guys attack security personnel and then be carried out horizontally by 4 guys, just battering ram open the door with their head ala Casino and then throw them as far into the street as possible. Once someone acts in a dangerous manner, the rules are basically out the window, but you're supposed to firmly talk them out the door and off the premises, call the cops to document, call the cops the next time for a restraining order, and the third time send them to jail. That's why you'll more often see someone get roughed up, because bars get fined for calling the cops who show up late if ever and do nothing to help the problem. revolther fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jun 21, 2018 |

So this is a bit of an odd one. I've struggled with OCD for years and in the last couple its got real bad, I'm at therapy at the moment which is helping but I'm having one issue. I feel like I've lost track of whats normal. Basically I get super anxious with foods, mainly oily/greasy foods and will over clean myself, the environment around and stuff. So my question is, and it is a stupid one, what do people do normally with these sort of things? I mean I see people have KFC and other greasy foods at lunch, pizza at parties, even potato chips and to me I'm not sure what people do? I mean is it just wipe your hands on some tissue and its fine? People using phones etc during is strange too as I'd be worried about getting stuff super greasy? I mean I couldn't imagine eating a slice of pizza while on my PC or anything no way.

Assuming you're talking about eating with your hands, use one hand to eat the greasy food and be on your phone or whatever with your other hand. And yeah usually wiping them down with a serviette will clean them enough, depending on how greasy we're talking.

I feel like I've lost track of whats normal. Basically I get super anxious with foods, mainly oily/greasy foods and will over clean myself, the environment around and stuff. I'll try to help: When I eat a greasy food I first wipe my hands on paper towel or fabric napkin to take care of most of it while eating, then I go to the sink and use soap and water and dry my hands off with a towel. The whole process takes like 30 seconds at the sink. If there's any soap or grease left after drying, I just wash that part again. OCD is very interesting and scary and I'm sorry you're going through this.  I also just do food prep on cutting boards and then wash those cutting boards with soap and hot water, or a dishwasher. Then they drip dry. The countertop gets wiped down with a cloth with hot water in it. If the counter is greasy somehow, a soapy sponge and then rinsed off with a cloth is perfectly sufficient.

If something is especially oily I'll actually hold it with a disposable napkin if it's the kind of meal where those are available. However, I'm kind of a fast eater by nature so I'm sensitive to looking/feeling sloppy. Fake edit: I'm curious if using a fork and knife for this kind of stuff is an American vs European thing. I've been told that but I've never confirmed.

I wash my hands after I eat something greasy or sticky or whatever because I don’t want that crap on my computer or phone, and also grease tends to smell and I don’t like smelling pizza or dried chicken on my hands hours after eating. If I don’t have access to a sink I don’t worry to much about it, but in almost every scenario in normal life in the US there’s someplace nearby to at least rinse off your hands.

Because Americans associated Bidets with french whorehouses during world war 2, and Wet wipes are horrible terrifying monsters that destroy sewage systems. Also, rare is the moment when I need to use my rear end to feed myself or transfer an object to another person, so it not being 100% sanitized is far less of an issue than if I have dogshit on my hand that I use to stuff my face with cheetos.

Thanks all this is helpful, although I'll add a bit more context for how awful OCD is. If I was to say, order a pizza and take it in, eat it then through the box away, there would be loads of anxiety caused by way more than just washing my hands. I would worry about if the boxes etc had grease seep through, if the guy got anything on my door, what I touched on the way to the table etc. Would also worry about getting it on me, and want to REALLY wash/wipe anything exposed (whole face) and wash up to my sleeves then even put the clothes in the wash. Same if I went in a KFC, stress about what my arms are resting on, where I'm sitting using door handles etc. Its been real bad. Working on it now but I wish I could just order a pizza some nights and not have it be an issue. Helping visualize what I should be aiming for helps though as I've definitely lost touch with it over the years. There is an element of just not caring I guess that I might get stuff greasy/dirty even my expensive poo poo or trusting myself more at least. Apologies for the downer here but thanks again for your help.

This probably belongs in the coding forums but I'm not sure where specifically to go as I'm not clear on the exact language being used here, but it feels kind of like AWK(?). Anyway, I'm trying to build a form that will import data in several variables and give them proper case. So for example JANE SMITH run through this code will change to Jane Smith. Likewise, jane smith becomes properly capitalized. print @str.substring($customer.firstname,0,1); print @str.substring(@str.tolower($customer.firstname),1) & " "; print @str.substring($customer.lastname,0,1); print @str.substring(@str.tolower($customer.lastname),1); This works fine. I'm trying to do the same thing for addresses, and those are stored as 123 fake st and I want them to be 123 Fake St The problem is I don't know how long the numerical part of the address is, so I can't just say skip the first three characters, plus a space, and then capitalize like above. So, what I was thinking was to make a loop that would stop at each space and effectively break the line into however many parts the street address is, and then capitalize the first character in each part. But again, I don't recognize this language and I did not find any examples of doing what I want. Does anyone recognize the syntax so I can google the correct language, or can I please have a link to the correct forum

Assault is either attempted battery or placing someone in fear of a battery.

A defendant is liable for battery if (a) "he [or she] acts intending to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the [plaintiff or a third party], or an imminent apprehension of such contact, and (b) a harmful or offensive contact with the [plaintiff] directly or indirectly results.")

I recently was switched this to this student loan handler https://www.navient.com/ <<<<--this is their real site I went to call and make a payment this morning and didn't have their number on me, so I just lazily googled and and called the first result my phone that popped up. After a minute or two I started to question the legitimacy of the number I called, because they didn't seem to have any info about me on file and the usual automated system I had dealt with wasn't present. I hung up on the guy when he asked for my full social security # after already asking me to verify the last four and he didn't seem to have any pre existing info on me. It was just setting off a bunch of red flags. Embarrassingly I gave him my email, full name, and last 4 of my social before hanging up on them. The site connected to the number I called was this http://navientstudentloanservices.com/ and each time I clicked on the phone # it changed which is even more sketchy. Was I in the middle of falling for some sort of scam, or where they trying to sell me something without being upfront about it, or is this a legit service and it was just confusion on both ends? How worried should I be about the info that I have already given them? veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jun 22, 2018 |

That second website is labeled as "WeDocPrep", which offers to lower your Navient Student Loans (and also, if you go straight to WeDocPrep.com, to help with a divorce, name change, business start, etc.). They were probably going to get a bunch of information from you and charge you to prefill forms for you to send to Navient and try to lower your payments or similar. Their marketing strategy is relatively skeevy though so god only knows.

Can anybody recommend Windows software for managing tens of thousands of digital photos in a completely disorganised folder structure? Or multiple programs that will handle the following needs: - find and delete duplicate photos en masse, keeping the highest quality version or showing each result with greater details (folder location etc) so i can decide which to delete if there's no obvious answer - be able to move the physical files to different folders from within the program - view all photos according to either folder structure or a series of filters (date range, etc) - be able to modify metadata of the files themselves, en masse, and then filter by this (e.g. adding people's names and so on) -- although I don't know if this is technically possible, maybe it'd have to be just within the program itself, which is also ok Or, since I have no idea what I'm doing, if anybody has a better way of organising that many photos, please let me know since the problem is just getting worse with time and I'm not quite sure what to do e: I suppose I could organise into folders by year and then by either event or month, then just add categories and labels on top using acdsee photo studio or something Sulla Faex fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jun 23, 2018 |

ineptmule posted:I need something like this, but that can also handle video I think Google Photos will do this for you, not sure though. I know for sure that Adobe Lightroom (Classic) will do both photos and video how you guys describe. You just want to import from your original folder mess and copy to the Lightroom managed directory. Then once you’re sure everything is copied over you can delete the others. It’ll do all its management by exif and metadata and then you can sort by location/date or put things in collections or whatever. You never need to touch the folder structure again and everything is done by interacting with the library LR creates. Every edit and organizational change is also nondestructive.
