Wow, I literally didn't see that until now. I thought he was a pedo who wanted to avoid temptation, not that he was a fully-grown adult who is afraid of small, weak, cute humans. "I'm a paedoph**e" is a really dumb way of expressing that sentiment
Were you by any chance involved in an attack on a paediatrician some years ago?
 
Rather then be mad at the police for doing a no knock raid on my girlfriends family I would have some SERIOUS questions why they were doing a raid on her and her family and what the fuck they are involved in. Seems a little over the top to me for them to come in like that (flashbangs and all) means the police expected some pretty bad stuff.

Man this story reeks of bullshit.
 
A lot of times, the people at LA will tell advice seekers exactly this, about calling to find out who you could talk to in your area. I think people are just lazy and stupid, honestly. Or they have already made up their minds and they think that the people at LA will reinforce what they’ve already assumed. Which very rarely ever happens. The regular posters enjoy playing wack-a-mole too much.

It's even worse: A lot of these posters have called legit lawyers, gotten answers they didn't like, and took to Reddit for a "Second opinion"

It usually turns out as well as you'd think...
 
A few I found hitting up the sub under the new postings. This is legit my favorite sub now.

As far as I understand HIPAA only applies to the patient. So she could say "Samaritan dropped someone off and he had drugs in his pocket". HIPAA...definitely doesn't cover rumors or anything outside the doctors office.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the most far out yeast rash advice I ever got was a dilution grapefruit seed extract and a zinc based ointment.

Putting plain yogurt directly on a yeast infection is the weirdest I've heard. Eating it also works but that takes a little longer and plain yogurt tastes like shit.

I'm hoping the poster is actually the man involved trying to defend himself.

There's also shoving cloves of garlic up your snatch, or soaking tampons in apple cider vinegar before also shoving those up your snatch. People are weird.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the guy trying to defend himself, but there have been people willing to defend their loved ones over even more sinister shit than this. Sadly.
 
Has anyone got a screenshot or a link to the post of the guy that has the teenage son that has become religious and conservative and after he found out his dad enjoyed getting pegged by other blokes he stormed out of the house or something. I remember reading it recently and was amused.
 
Everything was deleted, what did the original text say?

Nova Scotia Canada I am male if that is relevant. I work for a junk removal business in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. For some jobs we drop off bins at customers houses and pick them up a few days. We then take the bins to our warehouse to sort through the junk so we can recycle or trash what we find. This morning while sorting through one of these bins my coworker and I dug up a bag that contained some dildos, butt plugs and other sex toys. this is a common occurrence but still always worth a chuckle. While my back was turned my coworker grabbed the dildo on top (not in its packaging, clearly used) and went to smack me on the cheek with it. I turned at the last second and it hit me on my upper lip. I pushed him away from me then went off to wipe my mouth with hand sanitizer I don't know who's dildo it was, what it was used for, what germs are on it or anything. I'm pretty upset at the moment and I'm wondering if I should press workplace sexual harassment charges Am I overreacting? Is pressing charges worth it for something this small?
 
Ken White is absolutely spot on.

There's a reason why legal bloggers don't answer directly to readers' comments or requests for advice. Well actually there's two reasons.

The official reason is because it presents a rather large risk of professional negligence claims and indemnity insurers get twitchy about doling out advice at random on the internets.

The other reason is because most people who actually need legal advice will go and ring someone up or drop in or suchlike, and the people who splurge their quandaries across comments sections and Reddit are usually loonies. Freeman on the land tier loonies. Real molehill mountaineers who want to sue someone and get JUSTICE because they were unfriended on Facebook or their case has been booted by every court imaginable but they still have been gravely wronged.
Yeah, I was a big fan of r/legaladvice for a while. It was fun to read all the madness and the gold-fringed international waters law bullshit that people spewed on there.

Another issue, though, I saw with that subreddit was that there were "celebrity" posters who would consistently post terrible advice, get called on it, then they'd chimp and their followers would attack anyone who told the "celebrity" they made bad advice. It got fucking annoying and culty whenever certain "celebrity" posters decided to come in and shit up otherwise fun conversations with the loons. There was one particular poster (his username escapes me) who would get called out, announce his intention to leave for a week or so, then be back a few days later, giving terrible advice and talking about how he needed some whiskey.
 
I don't think it was just a cushion the dude was hit with if he's got serious dental issues from it.
I had a somewhat similar experience involving passing a ball back and fourth while drinking out of beer bottles. Of course we aren't total dickheads, so my friend immediately offered to pay for the tiny amount of dental work necessary. I just made him pay the copay which was small. I could see some freak accident with a cushion chipping a tooth.
 
Yes, I suppose it was naive of me to assume that r/legaladvice might be one of the few places left on Reddit that remained blessedly free of troon drama.

Unsurprisingly, OP here turned out to be looking for permission rather than advice, and responded to being told that this was a stupid fucking idea and he really needed to get his priorities straight while his friend was literally comatose, by saying 'nuh uh well I'm going to do it anyway, so there'.

I, like the posters at r/bestoflegaladvice, would love to assume this is a troll. Unfortunately I know all too damn well, courtesy of the Rat Kings board, that troons absolutely are this dim, short-sighted, and committed to troonery above all. I can absolutely believe that a troon's response to learning that a so-called friend was on life support would be 'but what if those mean cis doctors won't give him his hormones?!' rather than, you know, worrying that they might die. Full story here.

If this guy is in the United States with a green card, could that be removed if they were to do something as illegal as that? Cause if it can be then this story might end up with a dead minor, a civil suit from the parents, and a possible deportation for the dumbass

Deportation absolutely is a possible consequence.
