Conversations between best friends has often led to some reckless/stupid/not thought out at all decisions. Like one conversation the amity park trio had where Danny said that he couldn't see Tucker as a doctor (the medical kind) to which Tucker responded with "Alright, bet." and enrolled in medical school. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne and Tucker Foley somehow by coincidence *cough* clockwork* became friends. And stayed friends even after Bruce dropped out and Tucker went on to finish med school. It was a strange friendship that was mainly just Bruce calling Tucker from the weirdest locations and asking things "Out of curiosity, if an immortal nutjob wanted you to marry his daughter and become his heir what would you do? uh-huh, uh-huh, really? ok, thanks." and meeting up for coffee every now and then. It was during one of these coffee meet-ups that Bruce confessed that he wanted to adopt a recently orphaned child by the name of Richard. There was currently push back from people who didn't think 'Brucie Wayne' would be a good parent and from others who didn't want a random kid having a chance to inherit the Wayne fortune, the media was also having a field day. Everyone kept asking him to "reconsider" and doing everything they can to stall/stop the adoption process. Tucker, being the good friend he was, said "Don't worry, I got this" Stood up from the cafe table, walked to the nearest library and politely asked to use one of their computers, spent a good ten minutes on it, printed something out on the library's printer, walked back to the cafe where he left Bruce waiting. And finally, he handed over the paper with the words "Take this." and continued drinking his now cold coffee. Bruce was, understandably, confused. "What is-" "Trust me, it'll work." Tucker assured him. That is how Bruce Wayne adopted one Richard 'Dick' Grayson.

And after that, Bruce went to Tucker whenever he came across a kid that he wanted to adopt, which was often. It's one reason why Tucker will do everything in his power to make sure Danny and Bruce never meet for fear that the Gothamite might try to add the Halfa to the growing army of children. Aka

Tucker Foley is The Guy

The thing about Phoenix Wright is that he really should not be a lawyer. I'm not convinced he knows any law outside 'dont do murder'. He should be an investigator, but he just so happens to live in a place where the police arrest the first person they see and don't actually look into the crime beyond that

i know modern dating is a hell because i once went on a date with this lady and when we were about to kiss i pulled back and went "oh sorry i thought we were a vase for a second" and she didn't like that in the least

Sometimes I do love answering phones at work bc a fairly common occurrence is like

Me: thank you for calling (law office) how may I help you today

Them: I wanna schedule a consultation for a divorce

Me: okay what’s your name

Them: (name)

Me: okay and who is this versus

Them, in the most disdainful voice possible: ummmmm…my wife?

Me:…

Them:…

Me: What is your wife’s name?

Them: Oh

Any advice for taking painkillers (ibuprofen/non-nsaid and non-narcotic) when hard to eat?

hi can i get some advice? i've been talking to this guy on and off for 3 years. he always asked to meet up and i always agree and then he would never follow thru. then a few nights ago, after i hadn't heard from in a month, he messaged me. he wanted to come over and i told him he could.

he sent me 2 dick picks and then went into explicit detail telling me what he wanted to do with me. like rail me from behind and eat me out and all of this stuff. then he never came over. now a few days later i find that he blocked me on instagram and deleted me from all social media.

what the hell did i do?? how do i get back on his good side? helpp! i really wanted to see him. any advice would be great! thank you

-from heartbroken & confused

What is your plan for decongesting my nose?

stick face over boiling cup of ginger tea. alternatively: do shots of hot sauce.

bad take and weird dismissal of an actual issue . jessica is a women in a fandom thats heavily focused on men i feel like she deserves to be seperate from 'the boys' instead of sorta tacked on the end because "oh shit jessica exists too"

i understand you probably weren't trying to be hurtful or weird but your dismissal to criticism/correction is not only rude but comes off as lowkey misogynistic. this comes from a place of someone disappointed and worried for you. i don't want to have to lose a cool mutual but please please be normal and cool about women and jessica

i know jessica is a woman and i think thats cool i just also think that needlessly criticizing strangers on the internet is uncool and i wont tolerate people being weird to me online over me talking like i talk

i use "boys" as "characters" literally all the time and it has nothing to do with u or womanhood. if jessica was a real human uncomfortable with that, id understand, and if u had said "im uncomfortable with calling jessica a boy because i personally tie her character to her womanhood" i wouldve understood.

YES im being dismissive because calling jessica a marble hornets boy is such an non-issue. is this normal on tumblr? to send paragraphs about why a post i made in 2 seconds has a word thats slightly off its typical usage? thats just how i talk man!!! u dont know me!!!! ??????? aghhgghh

"bad take" COME ONNN i have no TAKE i'm not doing TUMBLR DISCOURSE i'm MARBLE HORNETS POSTING

This is not non-binary related, but a lot of people I work with (high schoolers and college-aged people, mostly, which seems to be the age of the majority of my followers, hence the post) don’t seem to understand their rights in the workplace in regards to getting paid. (This will be US specific, and also make sure to check on the laws specific to your state, but from my understanding, this is a federal law.)

If there is a meeting that you are required to go to for work, even if you’re not doing your regular job, they still have to pay you. Yes, even if it’s only a meeting because insurance requires it. Yes, even if it’s just sitting around talking. Yes, even if some kind of fun activity is also involved.

I was wondering about this, because my workplace had a mandatory employee meeting, but acted like they didn’t have to pay us for it (and we don’t get paid for anything not on our time card). This is the advice I got from a now retired corporate lawyer I know-

“If you are required to attend that meeting— then your employer is required to pay you your wage rate for the time you spent at the required meeting.”

Also, a few other things I learned as I went through the seemingly legally-iffy things in my workplace rulebook:

If you are paid hourly wages, your employer cannot dock your pay below federal minimum wage.

They must pay you for any time you spend working. If they tell you to come in 15 minutes before your shift to set up, you include those 15 minutes in your hours. If you need to come in earlier to fulfill your job requirements, you include all of that time. This may seem obvious, but workplaces can and do try to convince you to put down less time than you actually worked, especially when you’re new to the workforce.

Not really a law, but unionize! If you aren’t able to, at the very least get to know your coworkers and have a good relationship with them- collective bargaining for smaller things doesn’t need a union. If your employer is trying to cheat you out of pay or you want something to change, there is strength in numbers when you go to tell them to stop.

Also not a law, but if your employer isn’t going to pay you, don’t work. One of my workplace’s rules is that if you show up tardy without letting the manager on duty know beforehand, you will be counted as a no-show (and therefore won’t get paid). In that situation, if they’re not going to pay you, don’t work!

Basically, don’t work for free. Your employers will try to get you to do so, don’t let them.

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice of any kind and may not be applicable to you. Always check your local laws, and pay attention to anything that seems illegal or legally-iffy in your workplace’s rules, and research them yourself.

shoutout to my fellow eczema sufferers, i wish all eczema itself a very Stop

idk if anyone still following me is even active anymore or will see this, but apologies for how inactive i’ve been. i was planning to start posting more when the dteam meetup happened, but in early september my dad passed away. it was really sudden and unexpected, he was still pretty young. and even now i’m still dealing with everything that comes with the loss of a loved one. so since then i have been on a deliberate hiatus, and quite honestly i’m not sure when i’ll be ready to come back, it may be months yet. i just figured i should probably say something in case anyone was wondering where i disappeared to.

that being said, i am also aware of what’s happened recently, namely the allegations against dream, and that there’s been a bit of a mass exodus in fandom. as for where i stand, i will continue to consume and enjoy dteam and dnf content until something both concrete (aka irrefutable) and actually illegal surfaces. until then my opinion on the more questionable alleged interactions that took place will remain critical in the absence of sufficient proof or information.

Do you know where can I watch Fargo (TV show)? It's not available on Netflix in my country :P

(Or anywhere for that matter.)

You could always buy the DVDs or BluRays, of course. ;)

Or you could try to watch it here. I personally don't use this website, so I don't know if there are any risks or not. So, use caution (like a VPN ;) ).

Okay I’m starting to freak out about this a bit bc I want to know for sure if I’m autistic or not but also I’m looking at stuff about diagnosis and it sounds like it might be really expensive and could also cause problems for me in the future. I think what I really want is to talk to a professional that knows a lot about autism and have them tell me that yeah I have it but without a formal diagnosis on my record. I keep seeing things online about people doing that but like how do you do that? Who are you asking? A therapist? Are you going to see a psychiatrist but not doing formal testing? Seriously if you’ve done this please tell me how you did it.

hey, i really hope this doesnt come off the wrong way but you need to take a step back and reprioritise your costs. the people in your doctors office are the biggest assholes in the world but you shouldnt be using money on legal fees to go after them if it means you cant afford your rent.

actually, those funds are kept completely seperate, and i'm not intending to use any of it on some stupid lawsuit. i am however going to have to pay legal fees to have a legal representative advocate for me and my rights with this doctors office. because i cannot just up and leave 'the biggest assholes' there just bc it's financially inconvenient. because this office has 4 referrals in progress for me, a disability application in the works, and have all my records - some of which have not been completed/updated yet. and they are deliberately dragging their feet on all of the above.

so if i 'just don't bother' as you're suggesting, i would have to leave and i'd lose all those referrals and have to start completely over with a new office- which the wait list for is over a year. i would also have to completely restart the 3-6 month process for my disability application- which is the main financial reason i struggle with rent costs! because i'm not on disability and need to be! because i keep being discriminated against even outside this drs office.

(on a less important note, i would also have to wait until they finish updating my records before i can even register with another dr bc they wont have any correct/up to date info on them)

hence why i HAVE to continue dealing with/through this office even though i desperately dont want to - which means i have to have advocation, support and legal knowlege- which comes from a legal rep / organization / charity (which only provide free advice, you do still have to pay them to Do Anything). it is NOT something i can do by myself. cool for you (genuinely, no sarcasm intended) if you're able to get your rights respected or have the privilege to simply say fuck it and walk away- i do not. many people do not.

i think you may have misunderstood my intentions and reality here - this is not a situation where the abuse has happened, its over and im out, and therefore it is not worth legal hassle after the fact. this is an Ongoing Situation where i am TRAPPED dealing with this until i can get what i need (records, referrals, disability application) that is legally owed to me and is my right, but is instead being witheld.

so your suggestion, going with that, would be to either abandon or put off any and all healthcare progress (and my human rights, nbd) to instead pay my rent....which is something that, worst case scenario, i cannot be evicted for immediately. there is a grace period, its in the lease. they have to give us x amount of time, or offer us the option to split the payment. they only have to provide/allow that one time, but i havent used it yet so this could be that one time if i have to. (hence my notes earlier mentioning that the new building management seeming nice so hopefully they wouldn't be fussy abt it and would give us some time - bc as ppl on the internet often forget: my mother pays half the rent. i am not totally on my own here on that at least.)

look, i get that you may have had good intentions, but don't come into a situation you don't know the details and nuances of, and tell someone what to do with their money- especially when they're using it to protect their basic human rights. i didnt ask for anyone's financial or legal advice - so idk why you felt it was wanted, needed, or necessary.

like. you dont know the whole situation, i have (obvi) not shared all the details w strangers on the internet. you cant play financial advisor to a random person whose life you don't understand. idk why ppl think they can/should, rly.

anyway, genuinely for anyone on here: if it bothers you that much that my financial situation is incredibly complicated & messy due to a myriad of reasons, and that my scraping / surviving by might not be in the exact same personal fashion you would choose yourself?

you can ignore it or unfollow me, thats all good n cool.

if that wasnt your intention, and it just came across that way, then apologies for being short, and i hope the above explanation clears up the reasoning as to why i do, in fact, need to do certain things that i'm doing.

(for future reference: anons like these will be blocked. the only reason this one wasnt was because i knew it could have been a misunderstanding. but if it isnt, and anyone decides to send stuff like this, welp, its time for my best friend the block button to come hang out)

How do I discretely socially transition in college? Because I just changed my preferred name and pronouns, but I don't my card to refer to me as my legal name, and I don't want my college diploma to either, but also my parents aren't very keen on their kids changing their name, and they don't like to use they/them pronouns either and I don't want them to go into my account and see that I have changed my name fully on campus

the fun thing about my corporate job is it’s the exact same cadence and level of stress as when I was a barista but instead of getting to channel the anxiety into a physical act (making and serving coffee) I instead just sit at my desk being existentially threatened by the existence of microsoft outlook.
