Things went super well for sovcit.
  • As I understand it, SovCits think there is this magical pool of money the government is keeping for everyone (for some nefarious purpose I don't understand), so they think they can get out off paying any debt they owe by sending some combination of paperwork that, in effect, says bill the government and have them pay it from the magic money pool. He sent, what I'm guessing is supposed to be, a bill of exchange saying bill the government. And included language that said if you don't respond that you are doing this within 3 days, the debt will be discharged and I owe you nothing. Because SovCits think they can just write things like that and they are automatically legally binding. The company ignored his nonsense and said pay us our money, so he filed a bunch of complaints with different organizations (SEC, CFPB). And despite all his flawless paperwork, the company ultimately took the car back.

  • What do you think about having one teacher teach one hundred students in all classes?
  • So the teacher has to prepare 6-8 different lesson plans every day and be knowledgeable enough and comfortable enough to teach every subject themselves?

    All while trying to keep 100 kids focused and on task?

  • Study Finds Superior Health Outcomes in Dogs Fed a Plant-Based Diet
  • FWIW, the lead author of this paper is an advocate for plant-based animal diets. Doesn't necessarily make the study less valid. The data is what it is. But knowing the author is already of a particular mindset going into the study is worth understanding. Also worth noting, the paper is based on people filling out a questionnaire and is not a clinical study. Again, doesn't mean the study is not valid, but I think it is good to understand.

    My take away from reading it is that it seems like dogs can do well on an appropriate plant-based diet. But I think it is overstating the results to say that plant-based diets are better. At best I think you can say they are no worse than other diets. But even then, the sample size of respondents whose dogs were on a plant-based diet was much smaller than the other diets. They controlled for that statistically, but even so the study only included 336 plant-based dogs, which does not seem like a particularly large sample size.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • For the sake of teaching good habits, rather than telling you what I do, I would instead say read the manual for the car you're driving. Not all cars operate the same way.

  • Boyfriend confessed to lying about his drug usage
  • So he has gone from no drugs to doing meth in 2 months? His drug use is only going to continue to escalate. You say you have past trauma related to drugs, so I think your first priority has to be protecting yourself and your mental health.

    I saw someone say that if you care about him you'd try to help him stop. I strongly disagree with that. You have to prioritize your own mental health over him.

    Noone can make an addict quit. They have to want it for themselves and nothing you've said here suggests that is something he would want.

  • Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
  • Just write or choose a good ethical framework that is actually relevant for the management of online communities. There's better, more modern shit out there that also includes the principle of do no harm.

    You know what would be helpful here? Actually naming and/or linking to some of these better frameworks you think they should consider using.

  • NBC your Olympics coverage sucks
  • The television coverage may suck. I chose to spend the $12 to get ad free Peacock for a month and that has been great. Every event, ad free, with no fluff.

    Without that, probably would have never watched my new favorite event, kayak cross.

    Charles Leclerc is the winner of the Monaco Grand Prix
  • I know you are commenting on spoilers, so what I am going to say is beside the point. But since it has been spoiled, I'll save you some time. You should still watch the first lap, but literally nothing happened after that lap.

  • On Google pixel, is there a way to search ONLY locally when searching apps?
  • On my pixel, if I type something in to the search bar so it displays search results (any results) and then scroll all the way to the bottom, there is a settings button I can click on that takes me to settings for the search. If I turn all the options off, then I get just my local apps in the results.

  • Additional crosswords

    So far this community has been focused on NYT crosswords. What other crosswords do folks like to do?

    I use an app on Android called alphacross to also do Newsday crosswords (for free). The Sat and Sun puzzles are usually pretty good. The Sat puzzle especially is referred to as the Saturday Stumper. It's not often I can finish it without turning on the error tracking feature. The Premier Sunday puzzle is decent as well.

    Is Carlsson NHL ready?

    Assuming we draft Carlsson, is he NHL ready, or does he need some time to develop?
