Also, deductions reduce the amount of your taxable income while credits reduce your amount of tax (and sometimes are refundable if you don’t owe any tax).

Nope. She will serve less than fifteen years (the gain time laws are different in each state but almost all states have some gain time that allows for early release). She will be released with no court ordered integration. If she does have a serious mental illness she will need to arrange treatment herself. And she…

States think that they will make money (by leasing land to projects that the Federal Govt would never go for) which would allow them to cut taxes. You would have fracking and pipelines in the national parks instead of being able to use them for conservation or recreation. Businesses win (from the state tax cuts and…

Because terrible events are hard for these people to process, and it is more comforting to think that they are fake. They would rather live in a world where no children died and the government set this up to try and take our guns than to live in a world where a single person can inflict so much pain and where one of…

That’s fair. But in that case don’t NAME the person you are exaggerating about for a bit. For example: “Yeah, I was contacted by a celeb who wanted to know about why people were upset about whitewashing Dr. Strange” and leave it at that. Once you say “Tilda Swinton said to me” then you sort of lose your ability to…

But we need to KNOW the details of the harassment so we can decide if it is REAL harassment or just literary genius being an egomaniac harassment. This is what they are really asking for: the ability to re-litigate the case in public so as to decide if the decision by this college concerning an employee is correct. I…

She’s a High School teacher. Do you believe that 17 year olds lack the motor skills and ability to do this?

Amusingly enough... In the legal division of a public safety agency. Former prosecutors here and they are pretty violent

People in my office are already talking about how they will need to take “second amendment remedies” against Trump if he doesn’t lock up Clinton. The problem is that she didn’t actually commit a crime. I feel like some of this will take care of itself when Trump has to face off against the people who voted for him…

This is going to be the dumbest conversation I ever have, so here we go.

I wonder how this compares to how he treated fellow Apprentice contestant and actual person with a traumatic brain injury Gary Busey. Did the fact that Marlee was a woman make him more apt to treat her this way? (Or maybe there are some equally terrible stories about how he treats Gary)

Had. Luckily Mom dropped him (after 20 years of that shit). He kept cheating on her and she realized that she didn’t need to be with him.

My step-father never got more angry than when I would step up to defend my Mom, so this rang true for me. I don’t think he ever would have hit her, but he nearly hit me on a few occasions when I’d tell him to stop talking to her that way. So this all rings super true to me.

Martin Sheen.

No, it was the middle. The pov then shifted to that other guy character for the rest of the book. It was really weird.

I believe the plan is to use the movie as a pilot for a new tv series, like whatever that ABC Family show is based on the other failed supernatural romance movie.

The legal standard is not “could they have done something to prevent it”. It is if the security they had in place was reasonable.

Along with what the others said, these four could have avoided the costs by dropping the suit. That’s why it is only four people being asked to pay instead of the dozens who sued. Everyone else dropped the suit when they realized the settlement would be rejected and they’d get stuck with the bill. These four either…

It's a quote from the filmed Street Fighter...or maybe Mortal Kombat. Def. one of those.

This. I've read plenty of people who think she should just fire him, but none of us know if she can just do that. There are likely contracts involved which may or may not cover this situation. She isn't the manager of Target who can fire someone for almost any reason.
