Hey shot in the dark but

I've got a friend in Japan currently under adult guardianship, that's being used to abuse her. They're withholding medical care for her that she really needs. She's been looking for ways to get independent. She asked me to look into organizations that might help but I don't know enough japanese to really work through legal and medical jargon.

Does anyone know some advocacy groups she could get in contact with?

Question about copyright and IP on creator sites like etsy or redbubble

My wife is considering selling her craft/artwork on etsy and/or redbubble. She mostly makes fan art, and we're wondering how the fan products sold on those (and other similar) sites aren't taken down for copyright infringement? If I want to sell a pokémon t-shirt on redbubble, or a plush on etsy, wouldn't that be copyright infringement because I'm making money off the pokémon IP?

I tried to google some information and everything seems to point at the fact that it would actually be a violation of the copyright. My guess is that it *is* copyright infringement, but it's simply tolerated by the IP copyright owners.

Can anyone help?

hi, would someone like to explain the new twitter TOS like i’m 5?

https://twitter.com/en/tos

so, i’m not particularly knowledgable about contract speak, but this looks bad. it gives off the impression that twitter / x corp is

1. claiming to be no longer responsible for spreading or monitoring misinformation and harmful content that spreads throughout their app

2. claiming to have a worldwide royalty-free license to everything their users post and have the ability to use that stuff for whatever purpose they want

3. claiming to not be responsible for the security or reliability of their site, which is NOT something i like to hear in the TOS of a website

4. claiming to have the ability to remove users from its site for any reason whatsoever

now, these interpretations could be wildly inaccurate, so i would like to hear from people who understand this stuff better than i do. namely;

-what has changed from the previous TOS, and what has remained the same?

-what does this updated TOS mean for users? how is it going to impact users?

-in what ways can twitter / x corp use user-submitted “Content” on twitter?

-does this in any way, shape, or form, relate to elon’s AI endeavors?

i appreciate any response to this. unless youre a cryptobro or ai artist or elon defender because i think you suck. thank you!

Hey yall ive never made one of these before but a member of a transition support group im in is in a dire situation and needs help. im posting this with her permission

if anyone can help her link is below. Please help keep a disabled trans women out of jail

[Image ID: Screenshot from the facebook group Transition with Ease. OPs full name is blocked out for privacy. The post reads "I'm going to jail here soon because of unpaid fines. I've never been in jail before, and I'm scared. I'm even more scared because I'm trans and I've heard the horror stories. finding work to pay off the fines has been tricky because of a whole host of mental health issues, as well as physical disabilities. I'm working on finding legal aid so I atleast have some oversight. I'm hoping that possibly I could get house arrest. atleast there is some dignity and privacy in that.

I'm saying all this to ask if anyone has ever dealt with this before?

Edit:

Adding peypal link as it was suggested. everything goes to the fines." / End Image ID]

Tldr: want to do original material for Forensics, not allowed, how do I bypass this?

I want to do a script that my friends and I have created for Forensics (speech and debate). However, one of the organizations that we use doesn't allow original material for Play Acting (our category). The rules state, "Material must be from a published source. published material is considered any material biblically or commercially available in print, online, audio, or video form." We were thinking that we could post it on a website like AO3. Would that work? Does AO3 count as publishing? I've been trying to figure out how to do our script without breaking the rules. Any ideas?

Anyone know if in California, it is legal for your employer to prohibit water bottles or portable water bottles to be used during a shift?

I work stock and our DM is saying we can’t have water back there - in a stock room, where we are doing physical labor and it’s hot…

Still trying to legally get my lost intellectual property from my previous blog back.

Anyone know the legalities of getting back your only copies of intellectual property that were deleted.

It states in tumblr’s policies they have no right or claim to it so does erasing it count as breaking that policy?

My managers took my gold necklace out of the work safe and threw it in the bin and they don’t want to pay for a new one 🫤 like how is that an “accident” that you won’t fix just because you don’t have the money to replace it … it’s all on CCTV as well😩

Don’t work in customer service guys, they won’t ever treat you like a person

When it comes to car accident settlements, understanding lawyer fees is crucial. Typically, car accident lawyers charge a percentage ranging from 30 to 40 percent of the settlement amount. Factors such as the stage of the lawsuit and the complexity of the case can influence the fee percentage.

How it's going

(before I get into it, a little TL;DR I wanted to make sure is visible from the top: if you're looking to apply for SSI and, like me, have no idea what you're doing and don't know where to start, look at Atticus.com . They're a legal firm/database that will screen you for eligibility and then match you with a law office/lawyer who will help you apply and get approved. There's no up front cost; the fee for legal services is 25% of your first benefit check only, IF you get approved. I know that seems like a lot, but it's because the first check usually includes backpay for application time and any amount of time you were eligible before you applied. I know it's overwhelming, and so do they; making your first steps with you and advising you the whole way is literally what these lawyers are there for, they're expecting you to feel a little lost. ❤️)

So not long ago, I found myself in one of the worst brain fog episodes I've ever had, almost in tears because I couldn't even muster enough neurotransmitters to START sitting up off my bed, let alone take the shower I needed (and I say "almost", because I couldn't muster the neurotransmitters to actually feel anything other than TV static 😭). By the next day, I had decided to make a change, dug up some tips from fellow neurodivergent folks online, and made a plan. Thus, things like the Task Menu and Random Encounter die were born. I want to take a minute to report on this process of basically relearning how to ACTUALLY function around my mental illnesses, instead of basing the structure of my whole life on the desperation of fitting in to society.

So far, things are going pretty well, everything considered. The strategies I'm developing are accomplishing what I designed them to accomplish; I've been getting up and more actively existing instead of being a rock, and for the most part, it's eased the terrible zombie feeling in my head. Some days are better than others, of course, but I went into that acknowledging that and ready to forgive myself if I need to rest or wander off course. after all, those things just happen; that is the very nature of the things physically and chemically wrong in my brain, and that's all there is to it. Things like keeping track of things I actually do during the day as well as what I expect to get done, or like adding up the number of those things and keeping track like a daily high score, help me to view this as a process of positive reaching rather than negative guilting. And honestly, I actually have been crossing a lot of real things I had piled up off the Megaboard. I feel good about this, and I'm making a very positive start on things.

Of course, there's always room for improvement, and this process has helped me identify where I need help more clearly. I've been able to identify that, even with this daily structure keeping me rolling, I don't seem to have the mental energy to do even simple errands a lot of the time, like making doctor's appointments, or doing house cleaning, or following up on problems. Even this info has been invaluable to me though; I was able to bring it up to my psychiatrist at our last visit, and to take a critical look for myself at how bad my disability REALLY is and whether or not I was actually managing as well as I thought for the last few years. Did I really benefit from the structure provided around full time work? What was motivating me to get through basic routine every day, and how was it impacting my mood? I find that in my natural state, I need gentle reminders to drift through things like hygiene and nutrition; looking back, I realize how the same routine things that make me feel better now we're actually detracting from my mood, because I had to force them to happen around work hours at times I wouldn't normally do them. I half-assed breakfast with a protein bar every day because I wasn't hungry in the morning, so food stopped making me happy and generating motivation. I would skip brushing teeth (either consciously or accidentally) in order to make a bus/train, and just do it in the bathroom at work with a little travel toothbrush five minutes before my shift. "Play" during my off hours became "doing absolutely nothing", because I was too miserable and exhausted to indulge in more stimulating hobbies. Basically what I noticed, is that I never actually had this type of mental energy in the first place— I was in a sort of debt to myself for spending spoons I didn't have.

Continuing to look at my disabilities and realistic expectations of myself, I've noticed that I honestly don't feel ready to return to work soon in any capacity, and I'm not sure if I ever will. I'd love to get back to the art business I was setting up a while ago and have some sense of purpose through that, but I just don't feel a connection to any sort of structured employment I qualify for. Having realized that, I finally took further steps toward SSI, and found a lead on legal services to help me apply. I now have a law firm filling out my app as I write and sending me paperwork to sign, and the whole thing is suddenly much more concrete and real.

That brings me to the last thing I wanted to ramble on a bit— life updates 😊 I just mentioned the lawyer I contacted about SSI, and my recent psych appointment. Things are going well, treatment-wise, and we're working on tweaking doses and refining what works. We added anti-anxiety meds now that we know how stimulants and Prozac are working out. I also feel comfortable talking to him about the SSI process, and that he's willing to support me on that as well. As for personal goals, I've been able to keep better track of things like feeding Blyth consistently, showing up to D&D on time, and getting errands done in a timely manor. Time management for games was a big one for me— over the past couple months, I've lost track and been late a lot, either because I hyperfixated on something and lost awareness of time, or because I lost awareness of days of the week, or because I had trouble taking D&D with friends out of the mental "later" category and putting it into the "now" one. I feel really good about being able to change that for my friends 😊

Today, I'm allowing myself a bit of a cheat day. There are some things I'll feel ready to do closer to evening, but for now, I'm just lazing around with Princess Mars. I spent the last couple days at a friend's place, which was fun and relaxing, but I still needed a quiet day to recharge my social battery and let my worked-out deep conversation muscle rest and unflex. I feel better so far. I'm proud of the start I've made ❤️
