This whole quest line reminded me of The Two Towers, where most of the film (and book) is spent preparing for this big battle against impossible odds. The only difference is that in the moment where all seems lost in the film and its source material, a savior shows up and turns the tide. In The Witcher 3, not so…

Not a lawyer, but having been fired from a job I can testify that yes, we are indeed an at-will state. Your employer can fire you because they don’t like the way your face looks, and they’ll get away with it too because they don’t have to give any reason. Just tell you to pack your shit and leave and not come back.

Hard for me to get excited about this. The current NC state government would rather lose all federal funding—education or otherwise—than back down on this. Take it from somebody who lives here: this is the only thing people care about. The legislature has done such an amazing job (I mean, they’re the bad guys, but…

Allegedly.

Once I saw that this game was on GoG, I no longer cared what happened the rest of the day.

Here’s what I go through every year.

A lot of my debt is because of emergencies and unexpected costs, but a lot of it is because I simply was bad managing my money. I would see something I want, tell myself I’d pay it off in 2 or 3 payments, and never did. That accumulated over time. A lot of that was because I was struggling with depression and looking…

Don’t feel bad. They were not tears of sadness. They were simply tears.

You just made me cry a little just now.

Thanks!

How do you define people “outside of the case?” Does this mean that the police and attorneys should only interview the accused and the alleged victim? Do witnesses have to sign an NDA? Is the public not allowed to attend the trial? Should arrest and incarceration records no longer be public?

Right now I’m trying the “snowball” method of paying off my credit cards. Basically, you start with the card that has the lowest balance and pay a flat rate on it until it gets paid off. Pay the same amount each month, regardless of the minimum payment (I’m doing $100). Then, once you get that paid off, add whatever…

Doesn’t matter whether they have or not. If somebody sends you a death threat, the expectation shouldn’t be that you just shrug it off as Internet Tough Guy Posturing. Sure, 99% of the time that’s exactly the case, but it only takes one legitimately dangerous person to act on the threat for your life to be genuinely…

Treating the report of a crime with skepticism favors the accused, and criminal investigation should be neutral with no favoritism to either side. There is such a thing a victims’ rights, and in the best interest of the accuser those rights should extend to them until it can be proven that they are not, indeed, a…

Much like every other mechanism you’ve addressed, there’s already something in place for that. Filing a false police report is a crime. Of course, an investigation must be done to determine whether the complaint is indeed false; the complaint shouldn’t be assumed to be false until proven true (just like the accused…

I’m no history major but I’m pretty sure Joan of Arc suffered in the name of freeing her country from foreign rule and not because she raped a minor.

There are legal definitions of abuse that not only take in to account the accused’s intent (are they purposely trying to cause physical or psychological harm and/or control their behavior) but also the span of time over which the behavior occurs.

No problem.

Simply by creating the work, the artist has copyright over it. Registering a copyright is a tremendous legally advantageous move, but it’s not legally required in order for the creator to claim ownership of the work and thus take appropriate legal action (it’s just more difficult to pull off).
