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.

Get an FBI background check, and get it apostilled. Easy to do from your local post office in the US, difficult and expensive to do outside the us, and you will need it for many things you might want to do in other countries

If it's the police that keep breaking in and shitting on your pillow it would be best to move to a different town.

They seem to be using Molotov cocktails - that is, about a liter of gasoline ignited and spread when the bottle breaks. Since the car body itself is metal and glass, I would guess that until the battery ignites, it's much the same mechanism of any other car burning.

Plastics in the wheel wells, mirrors, tires are ignited, which burn hot enough to ignite more protected plastics. Eventually, the battery is heated to the point of thermal runaway (analogous to the fuel tank in an internal combustion car), and then it burns to the ground.

I don't think it was the destruction of the building, but rather the implications of the inevitable maybe century to follow which would bring reduction in human rights, war, chaos, political upheaval.

One could argue that the political chaos were in right now could be traced back to 9/11. I was relatively young on the day, but still an adult who fully grasped the fork in the road this would take us down, and I was not wrong or overreacting.

It was our Franz Ferdinand.
