Would the diy forum or the pet forum be a better place to ask for suggestions on one-way window film that I can put up on my kitchen window so the animals don't get see and get scared of the people inside?

is there a place on SA where i can ask doctors questions about things im curious about (not a diagnosis). or, i guess, are there pockets of places on SA where specialized professionals answer questions fiction writers might have.

yeah but like the legal questions thread the moment it tends to close to "i need real advice" they will absolutely tell you they cannot do that

which, at least in the legal questions megathread, has led to some saga's worthy events

- 30s dude who, as a college freshman, powerbombed his 19 year old female RA and was accused of assault

- the guy who thought he could started R rated Twitch via legalzoom setup and compete with MS and Netflix having a meltdown, insisting he wasn't having a breakdown, and returned a year later to say he had a breakdown and lost all his money then promptly autobanned over the lightest of ribbing

me too, until they got into my attic and destroyed literally everything up there, and then got in the walls and chewed holes and got inside the house itself. And they're vicious, screaming little monsters too. Never knew squirrels could make screaming sounds like that until I tried to scare them out of the attic.

Cute when not invading the house, though. Once we got new siding and roofing on the house, it sealed off all their entranceways, and they stopped trying to get inside. But until then, there wasn't anything we could do to stop them, they'd destroy anything you put to seal the holes.

I've had a complaint made against me as a staff member by a student.

Since this is actually loving my life up I would like some legal help. I don't know for sure yet but I think the complain is a complaint of assault, which is defamatory since it was a mutual game of wrestling and she happened to get hurt. Something that didn't seem to bother her after when we were on the sofa together. The university I am studying at are taking it very seriously though and so am I, even though I am pretty sure I am going to win this battle I would like some legal help for when this is over because I would like to counter this with some sort of complaint against the university/her.

It is early days yet and I don't know what the complaint it yet but I think it's a complaint of assault. I don't need any help with the ongoing issues but I would like help with filing a complaint against the university in their handling of the case and against her for the defamatory complaint.

Anybody here have experience with incorporating as a C-Corp and covering your butt as to not infringe on any existing trademarks or IPs? I've just incorporated via LegalZoom and I'm trying to figure out next steps, probably need to find a lawyer, accountant, and tax professional to try and find all avenues to protect myself as I start this company. I don't plan on using LegalZoom for everything, just wanted to get the initial process started so I could get a business bank account at the moment.

Also why do investors like to see tech startups that are registered in Delaware? I've been seeing that pop up a few times and I'm just curious what benefit that would have for me over registering in my homestate of Massachusetts.

ceebee posted:

Yeah my hope was to get an MVP up and running, secure investment, and build it up properly and bring creators over from those other platforms. I think people value the fact that Netflix charges subscriptions for "quality" content and both empowers and protects the creators that they employ to create the content that is hosted on their service. And also, no reliance on advertisers, which I think is the biggest issue YouTube and Twitch has considering most of the advertisers are just trying to exploit it's userbase.

I gotta disagree with this though, YouTube and Twitch are making an absolute KILLING off of independent creators because they utilize subscriptions AND advertisers. The reason small/medium streamers can't make any money is because you gotta go through a ton of stupid rear end hoops just to be/stay monetized on those platforms (and those platforms are only going to promote creators who are best suited to their advertisers). And also the discoverability of both of those sites for small/medium creators is dogshit. I don't think it's going to stop growing because entertainment is a recession-proof industry, just like when I worked in video games. When the times are tough, people just wanna consume media and forget about the shitshow that is our current reality.

If anybody wants to know more or whatever, feel free to PM me or I can make a thread or something, apologies to the mods for making GBS threads up the Legal Questions thread further with my BS.

there are already thousands of subscription-based streaming services that return a big chunk of their subscriber money to their content creators and also offer opportunities for members to give extra money to the talented creatives in live sessions etc., and they also offer content that youtube and twitch won't

there's even software providers offering turnkey tech solutions for them

Someone is harassing me through Amazon purchases. Specifically, POD books with extremely unflattering titles. On the 10th, I had a blowout with an rear end in a top hat known for social media hysterics. He made threats of violence against me but backed off when I threatened to report him to his work. 3 days later, the book was printed and shipped to my house, arriving the 18th.

I don't know for certain this rear end in a top hat did it, but apparently this exact thing has happened to 1 other person in our mutual social circles, so it strikes me as pretty unlikely to be a coincidence. I asked my most likely friends, and they all would have copped to doing this if they had.

Amazon was unable to assist with providing any information about the purchaser, there's no purchase slip or anything in the package itself. I've filed a complaint with the UPIS (though this was before I heard it happened to a second person, so that wasn't in my report. should i file another report?) and I checked with my local PD who advised to wait to hear back from the postal inspector. I figure worst case scenario is I owe an apology to a friend with a bad sense of timing. Best case scenario, this rear end in a top hat has given the state carte blanche to spank him for mail fraud.

Is there anything else I should do? The point of this purchase was to send an implicit threat that he knows my home address, so I'm not going to hold back on him.
