You’re always allowed to change your plea. You should not plea to anything (in fact you shouldn’t talk to the cops at all) until you’ve discussed your situation with your lawyer.

You always plead not guilty when arraigned. That gives your lawyer time to make a deal with the prosecutor.

Same. Should be rock bottom prices.

Best wishes! I hope it works out. If I was the employer and you were a good worker, I’d want to retain you rather than lose you forever and then spend the time looking for a new hire and training them.

This sounds like OP has a full time position somewhere and is thinking of quitting to go work as a contractor. My guess is that they’re unemployed after 2 months and would need to find a new job.

My general feeling on this is that it’s fine if they understand the difference. I don’t know of they’re in the US or elsewhere, but in the US the taxes on 1199 contractors are pretty high and there are no benefits. This can heavily change the calculus.

I would see if my current employer would allow me to take a 2 month leave of absence and then come back.

This is all you really need to know about people’s car payments:

You can find this all over YT. It’s insanity. For the record, my wife drives a 2019 Camry. I drive a 2012 Fiesta. Both paid off. I only have the Fiesta because my sister wanted to sell it and it was a good deal for the times where my wife and I both need to drive. We were a one-car family for a few years.

There are people in my hometown that have car payments higher than their mortgage payments.

Sure he didn’t want to help his children with college, but strangers are going to notice him more due to the car he’s driving and you can’t put a price on that.

Fry: Sorry, I’m not here to buy.

Car Dealer: I understand, and it’s wonderful that you don’t care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation.

Fry: I care! I care plenty! But I just don’t know how to make them stop!

Car Dealer: One word: Thundercougarfalconbird.

My understanding is that turning off and on a diesel engine is not great for it or something like that. Sorry, my grandpa was a mechanic and I’m half remembering something he said.

This is generally a bad idea in most cities. It’s downright crazy in New York.

We’re talking about “I am a prominent member of an organization designated by the US as a terrorist organization.”

Either way I misunderstood OP’s question and my post wasn’t on-topic.

This is a very good point. I misunderstood the post.

Yes. If you’re a rando, sorry you’re just not that interesting.

If you’re someone the US considers an actual threat, then yeah don’t buy anything from the US (use a 3rd party). But if you’re that big of a threat you already know that.

In a way that can’t really be described to Europeans. If you live in a suburban area, people think you’re weird if you do anything other than use your car to get anywhere for any reason. Almost everywhere in the US is designed around the idea that you have a car and you use it every day.

This is about my city:

And it’s absolutely true. Our buses are mostly useful for driving to a Park & Ride/Transit Center and then to work and back. That’s about it.

I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject.

So what if it’s hostile to you? It’s their community. I see that community from time to time. Guess what. I don’t post there. I accept that it’s their space and their rules.

I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it.

You don’t have to, but other people can if they want. If someone else did, I, as a straight person, wouldn’t post there. Because they asked me not to.

I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings. And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.

No, you didn’t get banned because you hurt their feelings. You got banned because you can’t follow rules. Other instances banned you because you’ve been shown that you can’t follow other instances’ rules.

This reads very heavily of “but I had to reply because they needed to hear my carefully-considered opinion.” NO. THEY. DON’T. They didn’t want to talk to you and you decided to barge in and tell them what you had to say because by god you needed to be heard.

I would not come here either.

Could be a British/American English thing. We (Americans) say “learned”, they will often say “learnt.”
