pr0zac posted:i want an emotional support potbellied pig, pigs own The passenger was allowed to bring the pig on board as an "emotional support animal" under Department of Transportation guidelines, a US Airways spokeswoman said. Apparently, it was not meant to be. Before the plane took off, the passenger and her pig were kicked for being "disruptive," spokeswoman Laura Masvidal said. How disruptive? Fellow passengers told the Hartford Courant that the big brown pig stank up the cabin of the tiny D.C.-bound aircraft and defecated in the aisle. Phelps watched in amusement and horror as the pig began "dropping things" in the aisle while his owner stowed her belongings. When she tied him to the armrest and tried to clean up after him, he began to howl.

we tried to fight it. the judge automatically sided with the landlord even though the landlord used the deposit to make improvements so he could sell the place which is illegal

once i was working at a mailbox-type place and when i left for a better job the owner dicked around with my last paycheck. i had been documenting everything so i got a civil hearing. the owner's response included several demonstrable lies so i was all ready to go to court but then there was a firestorm and the hearing was canceled. it was then rescheduled such that i would hvae had to take time off from my new and better job, jeopardizing that. i let it drop after doing the cost/benefit.

Mido posted:*shakes duTrieux's av* i've directed that my company-matched 401(k) fund is invested with maximum risk because, you know, bubble. probably going to reconfigure that come the new year. money in the bank is for rent/spending or as a way-point to other things. i still have some stocks i bought years ago in three companies. the average gains are at about 130% per. i'm probably going to be debt-free next year, it's a weird thought then once i'm free of the illuminati fiat-lizard conspiracy i will be able to devote all of my financial resources to promulgating the word satoshi of clan nakomoto

Main Paineframe posted:hope you're young enough to lose your entire 401k in the event that the bubble pops earlier than you suspect. that's the thing about bubbles - a lot of people realize they're bubbles but still go all-in maximum-risk anyway because they think they'll have some way of knowing when to pull out before it pops yeah i'll be fine

families are messy things and have been for most of human history. it would be really cool if civil unions were completely split from the concept of marriage such that it would apply simply to people who live together and want to efficiently comingle finances

Sagebrush posted:i don't think you can really put one over the other...the greatest advance in human healthcare in history was probably germ theory because all of those things mentioned naturally grew out of it. keeping sewage contained, disinfecting drinking water, handwashing in hospitals and restaurants, sterilization of surgical tools, etc. you had cases like john snow deducing "there's something wrong with the water" but it took the discovery of microorganisms to actually understand the link between the people dying, the pump water, why boiled water was safe, etc do some googling about either hookworm in the south or the recently discovered link between sanitation and malnourishment in india even among the well-fed
