It's usually worth it because

  1. You include court costs in the amount you sue for
  2. You include the highest possible rate for your time in the amount you sue for
  3. You include all incident expenses

Plus, the landlord has an asset you can put a lien on in case of non-payment, the place you rented. It's not the same as suing someone with no assets where the debt is uncollectible.

NAL, just a former renter who got screwed over a few times, then stopped getting screwed over after I figured out that court is actually good for tenants and bad for shady landlords.

NAL, but always sue, and sue for more than you are owed. Court is a negotiation and judges do not take kindly to landlords trying to pull a fast one and landing in their court.

I have done this myself to a scammy corporate landlord and they settled out of court after a barrage of threatening letters, subsequent "you sued the wrong party", and "we're willing to drop what we were going to charge you if you drop this case" letters. I ended up about $400 up including court costs for filing and serving, just for ignoring letters.

Private landlords, who I've also sued, are much more naively willing to go in front of a judge. If you have any case at all, the judge is likely to eat the landlord alive- unless you are a deadbeat tenant you will walk out of court probably with 3x damages.

Naturalized citizens and trans people are definitely at the point of concern about passports being revoked

I wouldn't mind the contact, in case this bill is not passed in Italian parliament!

So just for the record, a trans woman is too strong for "women's" sports teams, but if she exceeds the new physical standards she still can't enlist? Sounds like DEI for cis people to me.

No, this process takes 10-15 years for an applicant to get permission to enter the US, and once the applicant is in the country, the residency application takes as much as a year, well past the expiration of the initial travel authorization.

During this limbo period, it is best to hide from law enforcement to avoid ending up in a deportation camp in el Salvador or Guantanamo.

Because that is how you get them to leave.

Actually the only time I've ever needed one is outside of the country. You need a police report from anywhere you lived for more than six months to apply for residencies, get teaching jobs, etc etc. the only authority in the US that can do this and provide a report acceptable outside the country is the FBI.

It's understanding code like chatgpt helps me understand Hungarian.

We all know it's going to be nodejs, backed up by mongodb. This is because LOC on the commits can be maximized for minimal effort, and it will need to be rewritten every 2-3 years.

The attractiveness of learning it was that you could avoid boom and bus cycles of retrenchment and clowns like Elon musk. Unfortunately that isn't true anymore so I think once the dust settles, finding people willing to specialize in tech like this is going to get real hard.

Yet it's the thing every junior dev wants to do as they gain more experience.
