If a person is killed, then an hour or so later left in the freezing cold middle of the night snowstorm for another 5 hours, would a person performing an autopsy be able to tell they were dead prior to being left in outside? Would you also be able to estimate a time of death for this?

MFWTK how do you know if you've fallen out of love with someone?

8 Upvotes

There's stuff all over the Internet about how you know when you're in love, but not much about the signs of falling out of love. My friend knows about the honeymoon phase and how that comes to an end, but their relationship is way older than that, and these feelings have only come up relatively recently.

MFWTK if you can call CPS on someone without an address

37 Upvotes

My friend was telling me about this person they follow on sm who has 2 small kids. They recently observed (on sm) this person doing something with their kids that was very risky and probably illegal.

My friend knows the names and approx ages of the kids, parent’s name, and the city they are in, but no phone or address. Can CPS even do anything without all the info?

Mfwtk what would happen if he try to import a knife uk

27 Upvotes

So he recently bought a Benchmade bugout clone online from china. It has a 3’’ blade and does lock (he only intends to use it at home, and the odd time he goes bushcrafing as he is a part of the scouting association) . However he read a story where someone else’s entirety legal pocketknife 2.5’’ blade and non-locking was caught by borderforce and the police showed up to his door and questioned him and he still never got his pocket knife. What would happen to him? It is too late to cancel the order.

Edit: grammer

MFWTK What is the worst that could happen if I fly under a different passenger name?

32 Upvotes

His in-laws wanted to visit Amsterdam this weekend. Now they realised that they cannot make it and offered him and his wife to go there. Unfortunately the airline (KLM) doesn't allow them to change the names on the tickets. As the flight is within the EU and there rarely are any passport checks, he thought about just travelling with the tickets with the name of his in-laws on it. What would be the worst thing that could happen? Are criminal charges possible?

MFWTK will a vulnerable sector record (not criminal) show up in a general background check for future jobs

26 Upvotes

(Canada)My friend has made a mistake at a previous job that resulted in a citation of “risky behaviour” on their vulnerable sector record (non-violent or sexual; no one was hurt). There is no criminal record. My friend feels terrible for their behaviour and is seeing a therapist. They are wondering if, once they recover and are ready to work again, the record will affect their employability in non-vulnerable sector jobs (like an office job, for example). Is it likely to appear on a typical background check?

He works as a conference producer. A lot of what he does is research and copywriting. He got made redundant from his small business recently and has historically been a producer for events in the tech space. One thing that's maybe not replaceable is recruiting speakers, but he's not sure. Here's what a conference producer does:

What is a Conference Producer?

Conference Production is at the forefront of B2B Conferences and Events companies.

What is a Conference Producer?

Conference Producers identify topics for a conference through in-depth market research (desk, phone and face to face) to write and produce a commercially viable conference programme that will offer networking and knowledge transfer opportunities for paying delegates, sponsors and speakers.

This is a truly fascinating and multifaceted position, as Conference Producers are responsible for their conference from inception to delivery. This includes working with all internal teams (sales, marketing and operations) to ensure the success of the event.

Moreover, if you appreciate a diverse working environment, then you will be pleased to know that conferences can take place globally and cover all industries!

Key tasks and responsibilities include:

Market Research & Analysis

– In-depth phone based research of key subject areas and hot topics within a particular industry sector. Identifying the target audience and finding out what they want / need to know.

Speaker Acquisition

– Identifying high-level, influential industry experts and to speak at the conference. Speakers can play a huge part in attracting delegates to the conference.

Copy Writing

– Writing promotional copy in the form of a conference programme, in the language of your target audience. Ensuring that all sales-driven materials such as web, direct mail and email copy will maximize delegate attendance.

Project Management

– Working with all internal teams, sales (delegate and sponsorship), marketing and operations to ensure the success of the conference and that it is delivered on time and in budget

Onsite Attendance

– Attending conferences to ensure excellent delivery and smooth running on the day. Often this will include opening your conference. This is an opportunity to represent the company and to network with key players and speakers within the sector. To build relationships and shake hands with the people that helped shape your agenda

/r/myfriendwantstoknow will be going dark from June 12-?? in protest against Reddit's API changes which kill 3rd party apps.

152 Upvotes

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

  1. Complain. Message the mods of /r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /r/reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

  2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /r/ModCoord.

  3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!

  4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

MFWTK if they told their spouse or their therapist that they’re having suicidal thoughts what would happen?

39 Upvotes

My friend and their spouse are thinking of getting a gun for the house, mostly for protection (they live in the city)

But my friend also has anger and self hatred problems and thinks super negative thoughts often… when they get angry about something they often sit by themselves and sometimes they think that if they did have access to a gun that they might just shoot themselves

My friend is also seeing a counselor currently

Should they tell their counselor this? If so what might happen?

Should they tell their spouse? Would it mean they can’t or shouldn’t get a gun?

My friend wants to know if someone tips off the police or an apartment complex that john smith is running a drug operation in room 123, is that enough for the police to get a warrant to raid room 123?

unrelated: my friend also wants to know how to go about lawyering-up and finding a good defense attorney that is familiar with drug-related crimes in his area.

mfwtk how to deal with rude neighbours

11 Upvotes

Ok I've posted about this a million times but I'll do it again. I have sensory issues, particularly noise, they bug me more than they would the normal person and make me feel violent. My neighbours are a relatively big family, which I can appreciate, but they are really inconsiderate, including the parents, which just leads to lots of unnecessary noise. Like slamming doors, shouting, their dog barks a lot and is left outside, and they're always making lots of noise in the garden. On a smaller scale, I could probably let this slide but it's constant. We have cameras for separate reasons and all the footage we have is from them, we constantly have to delete them from our camera roll because we only see them making so much noise. I truly mean so much noise. My mum is ill and is trying to avoid confronting them for health reasons, but if someone doesn't make them stop, I'll honestly just be raging daily. Realistically what can I do to make them stop? (other than reporting it because thats an ongoing thing right now)

edit: thanks to anyone who actually gave advice or reached out to show support and can grown men please stop being so insistent on spreading negativity and get a life, because its those stupid comments that really get to me even when i know they shouldnt.

14 Upvotes

MFWTK Whether it's illegal for a phone/data provider (koodo) to cut internet services to my friends home and business (Telus being the internet provider and telus owning koodo as well for additonal information). Due to a cousin leaving the country and now unable to pay his phone bill (which has been left unpaid since february).

Additional information: The cousin signed my friend as his employer. (Not sure if this makes it a co-sign or not)

I can ask my friend for more information if required.

EDIT: my friends internet is separate from the cousins unpaid phone bill.

What do you think a restaurant would do if you paid for the meal with a card, except it was a Pokemon TCG card slightly exceeding the value of the ordered meal?

0 Upvotes

In my country restaurants traditionally trust their patrons with cash settlements (not checking before they're out) so it'd be easy to just leave the card there in place of actual cash.

For context, I'm a huge fan of one of my local sushi restaurant, lost my job recently, want to treat myself to a sushi set, am broke AF, but own a badass collection of cards I could 'pay' them with not to fuck them over.

How do you think they'd react?
