The whole thing of banning POCs who are asking for support from other POCs of similar heritage and saying it’s ✌️racist✌️ is just so…. 🤷I mean, talk about fragility!

Were there other things the former mod did in addition to banning people who acknowledged that race exists?

> I missed something

Same. So I did a bit of digging in the top posts in this sub, and it looks like there was a ban-happy mod (see the pinned mod comment here for example), who is no longer a mod. I’m not sure if that part was voluntary or not, and I’m not sure if they were replaced or there’s just fewer mods. There may have been other issues too, but that seems like the top one.

I mean, if you’re using a telescope the images are often flipped or even rotated 90°.

Okay, so you want to move out. In most markets you will need to be able to pay three month’s rent up front: one for the first month’s rent, one for the last month’s rent (so you don’t pay it when you move out), and one as a security deposit. Many landlords also want to see that you are making 3x the monthly rent in a month of work, so you may need to show pay stubs that prove that, or a bank account statement with at least 3-6 months saved up. So your next step is to find out the going rate for either studio apartments for yourself only, or a shared apartment or house with roommates.

You also wish to check out r/Adulting or r/internetparents for more support along these lines, especially if you don’t want to get more nitty gritty into the exact dollar and cents amounts, since this sub usually wants that.

You need income. Are you working part time? How much will the film internship pay?

Yikes, people with epilepsy couldn’t get married? Wow.

I wonder if she’s confused about security deposit vs. down payment, or if she’s trying to deliberately confuse her readers.

Then just ask them to show documentation before you pay. It’s not “fishy,” it’s sadly common here, but the law says you have to be notified up front for them to collect.

Did you sign anything else when you first met this realtor? That’s when they usually do it, when they’re asking for your name and stuff, you write it down on a document that says they’ll charge a realtor’s/broker’s fee. It’s so normal here, I’d probably just pay it unfortunately.

Transit is definitely fun and one of my favorite ways to get to know a city, and Boston’s transit is pretty decent (even with the many recent problems). It’s also got some of the better signage I’ve seen. I was in Seattle last week and took the train from the airport to downtown and back, and nearly got lost both ways even just trying to find the station!

Ah, gotcha. Tone didn’t come through so I thought you were saying I was wrong to mention accessibility, since so many people downvoted me.

For some people escalators can be hard — have you never gotten vertigo going up or down the Porter escalators? For people who are slightly unsteady on their feet, that can be magnified. Plus stepping on and off requires timing and that can be challenging for elderly people. If OP’s mother is unsteady, they may do better with elevators (fixed typo).

Uber or Lyft may be easier than public transit. Look ahead for which train stations have escalators or elevators, as not all do.

Try reading the DMV sections about motorcycles.

Yikes, hope you didn’t have a corn allergy!

I mean, the Earth’s inner core is solid due to the high pressure. My understanding is that gas giants’ cores are also solid due to the even higher pressure.

The inner core of Jupiter is likely rock around the diameter of Earth. The outer core is liquid metallic hydrogen: not quite dense enough to be a complete plasma (electrons stripped from the atoms), but dense enough to act as a metal in the chemistry sense of the word (electrons can flow freely). This is why Jupiter has such a strong magnetic field, as magnetic fields require liquid metal that moves (Jupiter rotates in around 10 hours).

In fact, if you use an old TV with bunny ears to pick up the broadcasts, and you tune it to a station without anything so you see the snow, that snow is composed of / caused by three things: the Sun’s magnetic field, Jupiter’s magnetic field, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

The core of Jupiter is likely rocky. I’ve seen out there claims it could be a giant diamond, but that’s unlikely.

Neptune is the smallest Jovian planet in our Solar System, and Earth is the largest rocky planet. There’s a category of exoplanets called sub-Neptunes / super-Earths that are between them in size. If one of them orbited something like Jupiter or a brown dwarf, then maybe that could happen. But it might be more of a double-planet at that point, if the larger one doesn’t quite dominate it’s orbit.

As for whether they could form like that, I’m guessing no, Jupiter had to suck in a lot of its neighborhood to get so massive, and there wouldn’t be enough left for a sub-Neptune. But perhaps it caught one when migrating out. 🤷

Tree law! r/legaladvice loves tree law.

I actually tried that, my mirror wouldn’t tilt far enough.

Lots of jerk drivers use extra bright halogens, or drive with high beams, or with fog lights. They’re jerks. Doubly so if they’re doing so in an SUV or truck.

This is my shocked face: 🫥
