TopicI'm so confused about my auto insurance
s0nicfan

I'd love to help but there are too many variables here because insurance varies from state to state. So it could be that you moved and the different states have different rules. It could be that Nationwide just changed their policy since 2018. It could be that your dad fudged the details when he registered you in the first place (thus the confusion around "same household" if he lied about it). It could be that you used to be a dependent on his taxes and maybe that's when Nationwide allows it. The rules might also be different when you're under 25 vs over.

To your second question, your dad's insurance would probably either bump up his premiums or otherwise refuse to cover damage if you crashed his car while not listed as a driver, but you yourself wouldn't get in any kind of legal trouble.

A person in a wheelchair doesn't have a choice. Unless a person is literally mentally handicapped, there's no reason why they can't learn how to write properly, and in those cases everyone would be in agreement that it's wrong to make fun of those individuals. At some point it becomes an unwillingness to learn, not an inability.

TopicBoth Nord Stream 1 and 2 are offline due to undersea blasts - massive gas leaks
s0nicfan
09/27/22 11:53:31 AM
#1
Whether this was done by Russia to put the pressure on Europe over energy or some other entity, this definitely elevates the stakes going into winter, although it also potentially takes gas off the table as a threat for Russia.

It's also worth noting that the sections destroyed are MUCH closer to Germany than Russia, so this could also be doubling as a threat to the EU on Russia's subs in the Baltic.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63044747
Seismologists reported underwater blasts before the leaks emerged.

"There is no doubt that these were explosions," said Bjorn Lund of Sweden's National Seismology Centre, as quoted by local media.

The operators of Nord Stream 2 warned of a loss of pressure in the pipeline on Monday afternoon. That led to a warning from Danish authorities that ships should avoid the area near the island of Bornholm.

The operator of Nord Stream 1 said the undersea lines had simultaneously sustained "unprecedented" damage in one day.

Denmark's Defence Command has released footage of the leaks which shows bubbles at the surface of the Baltic Sea near the island.

The largest patch of sea disturbance is 1km (0.6 miles) in diameter, it says.

Russian state media have announced the preliminary results of the so-called referendums being held in occupied parts of Ukraine. With about a fifth of votes counted, it is reported that an overwhelming majority have voted in favour of joining Russia:
  • 97% in Kherson region
  • 98% in Zaporizhzhia
  • 98% in Donetsk Peoples Republic
  • 98% in Luhansk Peoples Republic
Ukraine and Western nations have called the process a sham, claiming the results had already been decided.

And before someone second-guesses the willow/jaden thing:
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/willow-smith-revealed-father-will-smith-forced-fame-on-her.html/
On the outside looking in, the Smiths were the perfect family. But ever since Jada and Willows Facebook series Red Table Talk, premiered, fans have learned that what went on behind the scenes was far from perfect. When Willow recorded her single Whip My Hair she instantly shot to stardom. But she once said that she didnt want any part of the fame and that her father was the one forcing her into the spotlight.

I definitely had to forgive you [Jada] and daddy for that whole Whip My Hair thing, Willow told her mother on the series, according to Insider. It was mostly daddy because he was so harsh at certain times. Willow went on to say that her dad wanted her to finish her album, but she wasnt interested.

Willow didnt want fame and ended up shaving her head in frustration, stemming from her fathers pressure for her to become a star. It was a couple of years, honestly. Trying to regain trust for not feeling like I was being listened to or like no one cared how I felt.

Jaden wanted to be emancipated:
https://sports.yahoo.com/smith-emancipated-minor-why-did-070500740.html
The Independence Day actor described how his heart shattered when Jaden asked him to become emancipated, a decision the now 23-year-old star ultimately decided against.

Will saying he regrets being hands off:
https://entertainment.ie/trending/will-smith-jokes-that-his-hands-off-approach-to-parenting-may-have-gone-too-far-356279/
D'you think? In an interview with A.Dot on BBC Radio 1Xtra yesterday, the Hollywood star was asked if he afforded his kids - Jaden and Willow - "a lot of freedom of expression." Smith was quick to respond in the affirmative, laughing "Yeah, I think it may have been a mistake. I think we may have gone too far."

Hands off as parents, not agents/managers. And even in that regard, both Jaden AND Willow said they felt forced into their roles as stars and both resented their parents over it. Jaden wanted to disown him for a while but got over it.

But again, not my words but his:
https://www.eonline.com/news/410981/will-smith-talks-parenting-we-don-t-do-punishment
"We [Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith] don't do punishment," the celeb said in response to when he punished Jaden last.

"The way that we deal with our kids is, they are responsible for their lives. Our concept is, as young as possible, give them as much control over their lives as possible and the concept of punishment, our experience has beenit has a little too much of a negative quality.

"So when they do thingsand you know, Jaden, he's done thingsyou can do anything you want as long as you can explain to me why that was the right thing to do for your life."

Moving to places like Ohio or Arkansas is not something that most people will be able to do. Though people from NYC have been leaving in droves to Florida, Georgia, Michigan and Texas these past few years.

Like I said, the process has to be gradual. People and business have to move together in order to build up a solid base or it won't work. Those cities that you say are crumbling, are crumbling because there isn't enough money to fix them, because there aren't enough people and businesses to raise enough tax revenue to do so. Those places will naturally turn around as tax revenue increases, but if your default response to a city starting to fall apart is to flee it then all you're doing is guaranteeing it. It might not be the same location, but you're highlighting exactly how this process can and does work in the current day.

It may be something that has to be incentivized, but it's an approach that will have far more long-term success than continuing to try to jam an infinite number of people into a finite space simply because that's where people most want to be.

We're looking at a flip of the 50s-60s paradigm, where the well-off are fleeing to the cities, and the suburbs are becoming abandoned.

You're still thinking too local though. This isn't about extending the commute out from a city center. This is about recognizing that maybe your office doesn't have to be in Manhattan and you could have a satellite office in Ohio, or Arkansas, or Mississippi and get just as much done without paying the premium for the location.

Move the businesses, and that will move the people. Move the people, and that will move even more businesses into that area. That brings more money into the area, which means higher quality services, which will draw even more people.

With greenberg spilling the beans to the point where they delayed his trial to get more dirt and there is a chance gaetz gets off free? The fuck.

According to the article, Greenberg is the biggest problem of them all for the prosecution:
Greenberg was first charged in 2020 with fabricating allegations and evidence to smear a political opponent, but prosecutors continued to investigate and added additional charges to his case. He ultimately agreed to plead guilty to six criminal charges, including sex trafficking of a child, aggravated identity theft and wire fraud.

Greenbergs credibility would be a significant challenge for any prosecution of Gaetz, in part because one of the crimes Greenberg admitted to was fabricating allegations against a schoolteacher who was running against him to be a tax collector. Greenberg had sent letters to the school falsely claiming the teacher had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student a similar allegation to the Gaetz case.

David Bear, a lawyer for the schoolteacher Greenberg falsely accused, said last year that nobodys going to believe anything that Joel Greenberg says by itself.

You've got people with no money trying to live in the most exclusive parts of the country while simultaneously making fun of the areas they could actually afford, and then demanding government regulation to make it more affordable for them to live where they want. It's a vicious cycle that only makes things worse.

The slums are being obliterated, and this is what happens.

I definitely think we're entering an era where we collectively stop pretending that the only places to live are New York and the bay area, where people start seriously considering moving out into any number of states where cost of living is far lower. The last few years have showed us that a distributed workforce can work, so there's no longer a need to physically consolidate in one or two places.

We don't have a housing problem. We have a population distribution problem.

These included the introduction of surveillance cameras to monitor and fine unveiled women or refer them for "counselling", and a mandatory prison sentence for any Iranian who questioned or posted content against the hijab (headscarf) rules online.

Sure, the reason was "because of the situation" and not "because I demand it".

I wonder if Raisi will make it through the winter.

Have they reached North Korea levels of manipulation yet?
I'd already heard stories of people walking or staging mutinies but nothing about their families taking the repercussions. The only people conveniently failing to achieve balancing and falling from high places seem to be the companies' higher ups or viable political threats.

The Wagner guy recruiting prisoners in that leaked video told them it was either them or their children being sent to fight, if that counts.
