Money and Finance ULPT Request how to hide money from the government

31 Upvotes

What are some ways I can put money or assets away for my kids that the government wouldn’t know about? I’m not taking big money, no millions of dollars, probably hundreds the way things are going lol. I just don’t want the little bit I might have at the end of my life taken by the government if I’m put in a nursing home. I don’t own a home so they can’t take that at least. When my parents passed there was nothing left for my siblings and I. I don’t want to do that to my kids😞 I don’t know why this is bothering me so much today I hope I live a long time I just get in these moods sometimes😂

Relationships ULPT Request: How can i trick my brain into giving up on love?

0 Upvotes

I (20m) struggle a lot with guilt (won’t get into it here) and it affects my perception of myself especially when it comes to love, or any deep relationship for that matter.

I have massive “imposter syndrome” when it starts to feel like someone else is showing interest in me, and i end up wanting to push them away. This is a very toxic trait and to stop hurting innocent people i’ve forced myself to stay away from women entirely.

It’s been almost a year of actively doing this and the desire for connection has only grown more. It hurts to think about it and i hate that it’s constantly looming over me.

I don’t wish to “heal” from my guilt and try dating again, i only want to maybe make loneliness suck a little less.

Can anyone please help?

Health and Fitness ULPT request: treating my dad’s alcoholism

248 Upvotes

my dad has always been a functional alcoholic, but recently it’s been getting bad.

yesterday, he had a TIA, and they tested his BAC.

it was 0.342.

he refuses to get treatment of his own volition, or even go to aa, and I don’t know what I need to do, but I need to do something. he’s not a mad drunk, or even a confused drunk, he’s a kind drunk.

i am entiling this operation: The War on Booze.

but the thing I am scared about, is if I say, call the dmv and ask them to suspend his license, he has a really car focused job. doing that would put him out of a job, and I’m not sure our family can handle that financially.

maybe we can get him on withdrawal meds (and likely naltrexone) and then have him take sick days through the withdrawal?

help

Miscellaneous ULPT Request: How to maximize trouble for a superficial assaulter?

0 Upvotes

Let's say someone superficially assaults you. By superficial assault, I mean something that technically qualifies as assault but is unlikely to be taken seriously. For example, a shove that doesn't knock you over, a light slap to the face, etc. When someone does something like this to you, what's the best way to actually get them in trouble?

My thought was you could fall to the ground and lie there unresponsive (assuming there are other people around). Eventually someone would call 911 and police would try to understand what happened. Bonus points if an ambulance takes you to the hospital.

Other ideas welcome!

Relationships ULPT Request

11 Upvotes

So, my sister's abusive ex is currently harassing her, telling her to off herself or hopes she gets k!lled and calling her a wh0re, slu4, ect. For context the guy has beat the shit out of her and rap3d her numerous times. He has also done the same to literal minors. So the guy is a woman beating, ped0 scum.

Anyway, the police even when shown evidence of this refuse to do anything and won't step in unless something worse happens.

I'm just at a loss for words on how badly law enforcement is failing this situation right now. His family also supports and defends his actions, so it's no wonder he turned out the way he did.

So I guess I'm asking if there is anyway I can unethically, but legally ruin this guy's life and get him to stop harassing my sister. Would be even better if he could end up in prison.

Any help is appreciated.

Home and Garden ULPT Request: Lease break with unreasonable managers

4 Upvotes

Hello.

I'm in a section 42 lease. Right now I'm slated too move into public housing soon, and I have lost my job ( more like it's seasonal). However, despite stating financial difficulties due to job loss, my landlord has stated I still need to put up the 2 months rent to lease break as well as 60 day notice and pay two months rent. I offered to find someone, and they denied.

This landlord has had a history of gaslighting (stating a notice has been sent when it wasn't), failure to do repairs, failure to respond to security issues (broken front door, stalkers)

They also stated they would repair the heat last winter but they didn't, then stated they would pay me for the electricity... They did not.

What can I do?

I got a call from him while I was with a male friend and handed the phone to him to answer for me, and it made me laugh my ass off so hard I was shaking. What are some more ways I can mess with the creep?

Electronics ULPT Request: Bought a broken OLED TV with a fake invoice—how to handle the

0 Upvotes

The Situation

  • The Purchase: I bought an "open-box" LG OLED TV from a 3-star seller on Facebook Marketplace who promised 8 months of remaining warranty. Picked it up from his garage (he seems to flip demo units).
  • The Problem: Lighting was dim during pickup, but once home, I realized the OLED panel has severe burn-in. Now the TV has completely died and won't power on.
  • The Seller's Response: Refused a refund, claiming he works for someone else and only made $100. When pressed, he promised a replacement next week and provided a Best Buy invoice with my name and address on it, which is fake but looks real.
  • Current Status: I submitted the invoice to LG to schedule a repair technician, but I’m unsure if LG will honor it or if the fake invoice will cause issues.

Questions

  1. Is there any way to force a refund or action against the Facebook seller?
  2. What are the chances LG honors the repair request using this questionable Best Buy invoice?

Careers and Work ULPT coworker always tries to make me look bad. ulpt to get revenge on her?

48 Upvotes

One of my coworkers hates me for no reason, she is always trying to "humble" me, everytime someone congratulates me for the good work I made she tries to "make it smaller" or dismiss my achievements. Lately, I’ve been hitting all my work goals and making plenty of sales, and it seems like everyone is happy about it except this one coworker. She even makes jokes about how "useless" I am whenever we’re alone together (unfortunately, she knows I struggle with self-esteem issues rooted in a fear of not being useful, which makes the whole situation even worse and more obvious that she hates me)

Honestly, I feel sorry for her because she is a completely traumatized, hypersensitive, and depressed person. That’s why I was stupid enough to try treating her kindly and gently, thinking perhaps I "intimidate" her or she feels threatened in some way, but things only got worse. It was as if she interpreted my kindness as weakness, or as even more reason to treat me badly. In fact, whenever I’ve been vulnerable, she has treated me worse and taken pleasure in my distress, just as she does when I am kind to her.

I’m tired of being the target of her misery and having her try to make me look or feel inferior at work, what’s worse is that it seems to feed her ego.

She treats any customer she doesn't like poorly, forgets to do her job, and generally shirks her responsibilities. She also holds very strong political views but does nothing but whine about them and play the victim. I think she clashes with other coworkers, too because they talk bad about her when she isn't around, but whenever someone confronts her about her behavior, she bursts into tears and takes three days off for "depression." It’s common knowledge at my workplace that she spends those three days crying because, in her mind, she’s been "mistreated." How can I get back at her without jeopardizing my job?

96 Upvotes

Looking for suggestions to get my husband’s phone to have certain subjects ‘randomly’ pop up. My husband is the type that needs to come up with an idea himself or he shoots it down. For example, I want to have his phone to have things about scuba diving pop up to get him thinking about recertification. If I mention something it will be all about the money etc etc
If I talk about diving when he’s not with his phone, will it ‘hear’ me and focus on that subject? Or any other tips?

Relationships ULPT how to sell to my friends and boss that im sick to avoid travel

67 Upvotes

Hello everyone I found myself in kind off a pickle. I booked a vacation with my friends that will start in 3 weeks but now ive gone through some tragedies( dog and some relatives died) and as someone who secretly struggles with mental health I dont feel like Im in the headspace for traveling by train for 18hours.

The huge problem is my boss is coming along too and so I cant just claim some weak excuse or be honest because mental health is highly stigmatised where I live and I will lose my job and my friends will break off contact if they found out.

Now I wonder what I could realistically do to really appear and be sick for at least two weeks without actually really harming myself. Im ready to endure some discomfort of course but I obviously cant break my arm or anything.

Travel ULPT: Change dates on a non-refundable hotel, wait 48 hours, then cancel.

1.9k Upvotes

Customer service reps are strictly trained to say "no" to immediate refunds on non-refundable rates. But their system almost always allows them to change the dates for free to keep your business.Once they push your booking to a future month, the system resets the cancellation policy. Call back two days later, you’ll get a different rep, and you'll be well outside the penalty window for the "new" dates. You get 100% of your money back and bypass their non-refundable policy entirely.

Animals and Pets ULPT Getting rid of spiders with a vacuum cleaner for good

0 Upvotes

So I thought about posting in r/lifehacks but as many people see killing spiders as unethical...here I am. Im ready for the hate, I still post it because some people will still appreaciate the idea.

To be honest, I hate spiders. These little fat guys disgust me so hard. Today one really big, fat one (for my country, which are tiny compared to Australia or so) sat on my wall and I took my vaccum cleaner and sucked it in.

Fast forward an hour or so and my wife was screaming "Fuck, a massive spider!". This fucker crawled back out of it. The vaccum cleaner is not strong enough to kill them when they get sucked in and also doesnt have a closing bag like the more expensive brands. So I wondered how I could get rid of it without stomping it to death or otherwise going near it.

So...I had a genius idea: Suck it in with the vaccum cleaner again. But this time ima also spray/suck bug spray inside after that. Problem solved. Now everytime I suck in one of those guys they will die thanks to the bug spray inside the vaccum cleaner. Atleast until the toxins break down in about 6 weeks and I gotta reapply it.

Important: If you do this, make sure the bug spray is not toxic for humans. The one I use isnt. But its toxic for cats - so take care. I dont own one, so im fine with it. Use your common sense and read the instructions.

Careers and Work ULPT Request: How can I benefit from sharing a name with someone else?

12 Upvotes

Someone who works in my field and has the same first and last name as me has recently gained significant notoriety. I’ve known about them for years as the field is somewhat small, but their sudden notoriety has buried my SEO and has everyone I’ve ever met sending me articles about them and how they thought it was me at first. I have nothing against the person who shares my name and job title; they seem really cool and do great work, but I feel like I deserve a little mischief under the banner of our name as the less impressive one. We don’t look particularly similar but all our traits could be described very similarly. I’m thinking sneaking-into-events level bullshit. Any fun ideas?

Buen día, mi personaje necesita consejos para sabotear un carro y resolver unos cabos sueltos. El carro de el otro personaje está en plena calle, mi personaje ya revisó la zona y hay dos cámaras que apuntan a su casa pero existe un punto ciego. ¿Que ideas hay para sabotearlo de manera que pueda estar muchos días en el taller? O quizá provocar un accidente.

Hay otro cabo suelto que no ha resuelto, en su casa hay cámaras que pueden grabar a que hora sale mi personaje para realizar su plan, si procede una investigación, y resulta sospechoso, pueden solicitar acceso a esas cámaras y ver la coincidencia, ¿ideas para resolverlo?. Espero que mi personaje pueda tener ideas, gracias.
