Any therapist or licensed professional (doctor, social workers, etc) will have to report something if it’s a credible threat to someone’s life. If your brother has homicidal ideations and makes threats, an investigation might not be terrible. Unless he literally never leaves the house and you are the only person that would know he’s ever made a threat, then your family will probably never know that you have anything to do with this. Strangers call the cops when they hear shit. If he’s loud, it could be a neighbor. Unless he’s agoraphobic, it could be anyone in your town who reported something weird.

“Why can’t you just leave and buy a house or something” is the most Lucille Bluth question ever. You didn’t have to dignify such a stupid question with an answer. This isn’t your fault.

As someone who was a mandated reporter and made a sad amount of reports, the investigators aren’t idiots. They don’t knock on your door and say “hi, your kid reported that you hit them!” They know the risk and it is literally their entire life/job to avoid making situations worse.

That would be my guess. But do we even know that precisely?

I don’t think this is a thing. The court could reject you if you’re suspicious, but I don’t think there are laws saying “you need a blood relationship to post bail for someone”

It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

Edit: can we please stop upvoting everything that insults Reddit? If you are defined by hating your ex, you need a new personality.

It doesn’t. It means the dollar is strong and people no longer want to invest in “alternatives”.

Unless you have a bunch of gold, then yeah… it affects you lol

Edit: also, gold doesn’t really have a “market cap”. We would need to know exactly the amount of gold on our planet to calculate a market cap

Unpaid time off sucks, I’ve been there too. The American economic system feels designed as if everyone has a full time job with benefits.

In my life, I’ve held an array of jobs. Sometimes I’d just be off randomly on a Friday (because I’d have to work all weekend).

Some people in this economy are struggling to find full time/permanent jobs, so they can spare time to protest.

Speaking from my current situation, I have a bank of time I could pull from if I wanted to take time off. Many people can easily fake saying they are sick to get time off on short notice. Some people probably have cool bosses who will let them request vacation at the last minute. There’s a million possible scenarios.

It’s probably just their ex or some other person the poster doesn’t like lol

The timing of his indictment was coordinated so that they announced they were going after him a week before the latest batch of Epstein files were released?

Or was it timed to be a few weeks after the last batch?

Genuinely not sure what this means.

No offense but I imagine there’s a lot of posts. Once someone makes a joke and it gets shared on social media, repeats are pretty common

Wait until you see a Pizza Hut pizza

It looks like “verified audience” reports only include people who bought a ticket on Fandango. This means a small group of people who saw some preview in a theater. If you change the filter to “all,” the audience ratings are much poorer. Nobody is going to buy tickets because it’s not in theaters, so then”verified” score will be skewed, I guess

Why would you want to surrender your license in exchange for a non-driver’s ID?

Why would you want to surrender your right to drive?

Pretty sure every state has non-drivers ID

Why blame the far right when you can yell at centrists for trying to preserve their mental health and not engage with politics?

10 years ago, we’d refer to this as documented Russian disinformation strategies. Now, Putin laughs as dumb Americans share their talking points.

I know I’m a shitty person but being able to get over the $25 same day delivery threshold by ordering a few bottles of $2.50 GTS kombucha was pretty dope. Gonna miss my local Amazon Fresh that I’ve only been to once

No. The cognac region makes wine and certainly a handful are sparkling. But if we’re talking about cognac, the formal name for French brandy, no. That would violate laws protecting the name “cognac”. There are very specific restrictions on most of these big international names and you have to follow very specific manufacturing practices.
