I am now unemployed. I donā€™t have any assets. And my spouse isnā€™t on any paperwork for those card nor am I listed on ā€œtheirā€ assets such as the house we live in nor their vehicle.

Travel ULPT request: falling asleep on international trains

0 Upvotes

Iā€™m taking the Interrail this summer. Iā€™m looking for a way to get from Paris to Barcelona but the TGV seat reservation for the direct route is more than Iā€™m willing to pay. Iā€™ve also found other routes but I noticed the first train of the route I was thinking of taking (Paris-Perpignan-Portbou-Barcelona) is the same train as the direct train (Paris-Barcelona). So, hypothetically, if I were to fall asleep on my train (which is what I would do regardless of the circumstances as the train departs at 6 am and we were gonna stay awake till then) and miss my stop at Perpignan, for whom I would have booked my seat and just continue till Barcelona sleeping, would it be an issue? Has anyone tried this before on TGV trains?

School & College ULPT Request: Wife needs residency in neighboring state for grad school, has job there

7 Upvotes

Hi, My wife and I are planning on paying for grad school in 2026 in Oregon but we live in Washington state. The difference in tuition will add up to approximately $120,000 by degree completion. She has not officially applied and has some time to do so but thinks she has very good odds on admission and those odds improve with instate residency. We plan to set her up and tell the school that she lives separate from myself in Oregon while I live in Washington in the home we own together. Sheā€™s really living with me, but we have friends in Oregon who could ā€œrentā€ to her and get her on utilities. Other considerations would be that she does in fact work in person in Oregon as well as have self employment income there and we are willing to file separately at the state level to ensure she pays Oregon taxes as a resident vs non-resident for this income.We also plan to register her car, voting and ID in Oregon. The only official tie she will have to Washington is our marriage and that she is a co-owner to the home. We will move to Oregon in the event she is admitted but it would be financially a poor idea to sell our house at this time and actually move and take that massive tax bill together. Will this be sufficient to prove to the university in Oregon that she is a resident? Can you think of additional steps to ensure in-state residency?

Social ULPT: Feed the troll to improve your expression

485 Upvotes

This is a toxic tip for anyone learning a language or trying to get stronger in arguments or be less shy when trying to defend an opinion.

Open a reddit account and argue with every troll. YouTube comments are also the good place for this. Basically, every platform that's relatively anonymous and without a character limit. Stand your ground even when proved wrong. Support ridiculous takes. For this tip to work, you have to take the time defend your points with the strongest statements you can find.

This is unethical because it's flooding with useless debates but that's how I got so good at English. I had to do research to find the best words. I had to force myself to think critically. Now, I feel confident arguing my points in real life.

ULPT - super creepy vape shop manager harassing people

0 Upvotes

There's a vape shop next to my apartment building. The manager of that shop has turned into a master level douche. He is illegally trimming the trees in front of the shop because he doesn't want to sweep up tree debris off the sidewalk, harassing the neighbors by having their cars towed when he doesn't have any authority over the parking lot And harassing anyone who walks by the shop if they have a dog.

Dogs are very popular in my town and I didn't appreciate when he sent an customer out earlier to ask me to pick up dog poop when there was no dog poop to be picked up. My dogs and I had been out there about 30 seconds.

The guy is such a creep how can I make him mind his own damn business and keep his nose inside the shop and stop illegally trimming trees and harassing dog walkers?

Request ULPT Request: How to use my female voice to my advantage

373 Upvotes

To clarify I am a male, 24 years old. I have a rare voice disorder that makes me sound like a girl. On every phone call I have been addressed as a "Maam" and it's embarrassing to correct them to the point I do not do it anymore.There is a surgery i can get, but it costs money which I don't have.

is there anything positive that I can spin out of this sort of "disability"? I don't mind being labelled as gay or something as long as it yields me monetary benefits. I am in a first world country (not USA). Not a native English speaker but can speak it fluently. I speak french also.

ULPT - Help me secure a Machine Learning Engineer job, without any actual job experience

1 Upvotes

Hello. I have been learning ML for a couple of years now, doing various courses on data clearing, etc from Google, IBM, Microsoft and others. I genuinelly think I could work as an ML engineer as have put in a lot of hours into learning the fundamentals, and have set up various models for different projects etc. however, I do not have any actual work experience, and all the jobs I look at need it. :D

What unethical advice have you got? I considered setting up a fake company, fake website domain, email etc and claim I worked there for years. What you reckon??

ULPT Request: How do I sign someone up for a ton of spam emails and text messages?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I almost got scammed today, I got an email that looked like it was from the CEO of our small company asking me to send them my phone number so that they can send me a task that they wanted to complete.

I sent them my phone number and they texted me to go to the nearest store and take pictures of the gift cards that they had available to purchase for them. Getting gift cards didn't set off any alarm bells due to my line of work, but I noticed that the phone number was out of the area, which made me suspicious.

I texted my director to get my CEO's phone number and we were able to confirm that it was not the CEO.

I figure that there is probably no way that we can catch whoever did this, but I do now have the scammer's email and the phone number that they used, so I want to send them all of the scammy garbage that I possibly can to make their lives just a little harder.

ULPT: People who forget to log off their Youtube accounts in hotels

3.6k Upvotes

You're in your hotel room and you switch the TV on. The previous guests left their Youtube account signed in.

You know the type, right? Usually it's a collection of the worst songs on Earth and some random stuff like:

"Best pre-flight prayers"

(Seriously, I saw this one once.)

And obviously there's a good variety of fake news and crazy conspiracy videos.

Now, you could just leave it and go straight to "Watch as Guest", or maybe be a good Samaritan and log them off... but where's the fun in that?

So I have a quick look at what Rando97399836368 likes to watch and make a few searches that will show up next time they open their Youtube at home, hopefully with their SOs.

Important: for that to work, you need to click on one or two videos, otherwise the search won't go to their history.

My favourites are:

Satanic Hymns

Death Metal

Brain transplant surgery

How to rob a bank

I'd appreciate evil suggestions from my fellow redditors

Miscellaneous ULPT: Request: How To Get A Tire To Pop After The Cars Already In Motion?

0 Upvotes

I have a roommate thatā€™s just been a real dick after he moved in. He hasnā€™t been consistent in the friendship, making promises and not keeping them, he has prioritized other people and social time after promising to help with chores around the house. And recently, he got super drunk, after skipping chores to go out and party, brought someone home, and I found him passed out in a wave of his own puke that I had to clean up for him. Next day, without asking, he took my car and went partying with it. His car was completely filthy and I had to take it to work and, when I got home, he was drunk again and had messed up the interior of my car with his horrific partying behavior.

I donā€™t wanna dox myself and say more about the situation but heā€™s definitely got something coming his way. Iā€™ll delete after Iā€™ve found the answer to my question, however...

I would like to ruin this guys day by having one of his car tires get popped. Iā€™ve been reading online that if I stick a smaller nail at the base of the tire, possibly at an angle so it pierces the side wall, when he starts his car and backs up, he could run over the nail. However, due to the small nail size, the leak would be small enough not to alert the car that heā€™s losing tire pressure. And as weā€™ve been arguing about his behavior for awhile, I definitely donā€™t want him to think I was the one who set the nail up for him while he was home. Are there better, safer ways to do this? Can I somehow get him to pay for a new tire instead of just having him just get a tire patch for $20?

Thanks in advance to all the sympathizers on Reddit who have got my back.

Electronics ULPT - making something new seem used to avoid import taxes

5 Upvotes

For context I'm moving from the US to EU and will move all my items using a shipping container, and I just bought a PC to take with me back to EU. But i would like to avoid paying more on it as it's an expensive PC. I was considering using it's original box as it will be the safest for damage related purposes, I'll be using it for a couple days before heading out.

What can I do to make it seem as if I've had it for a couple months? And do I just tell them I just took care of it a lot as it was expensive?

ULPT Request: How to fake paperwork for a doctor's visit and doctor's note to excuse my abscence at work

6 Upvotes

Missed a day of work at Jeff's jungle warehouse unexcused. I've already used up all of my unexcused hours and exhausted my second chance. I had a pinched nerve which was keeping me from lifting heavy things (true, but not bad enough to keep me from work). Never got it checked out. Needed paperwork and a doctor's note to excuse my abscense, never got it, missed more days thinking i'd just get fired so I can collect unemployment, and instead they gave me the option to go on leave, which I did. Still never got my pinched nerve checked out, and I'd like to keep the job but I do have another job lined up in case. I'm supposed to be back tomorrow night. What can I do?

All I've come up with is I can go to urgent care, have them write me an excuse for the days I missed, scan the discharge paperwork and use an OCR to turn it into an editable pdf, change the dates and print the forged one out to take to HR or upload it to the app. This would be a gamble for me because I'd be paying for urgent care out of pocket, and I'm living off my last paycheck atm. Thoughts? Tips? Better ideas?

ULPT Request: Neighbor sprays mud on my car

18 Upvotes

Neighbor sprays mud on car when I park in front of his house. First time it's happened to me, but apparently it's a known thing in the neighborhood. Apparently, on Thursdays (the day before trash day), he is extra mad and that's when he sprays mud on people's cars since he has to move his trash cans 10 more feet lol. Today he sprayed mud on my car and sandwiched my car in between with zero space. What should I do?

Edit: wow didn't expect to get so many suggestions haha I'm definitely gonna try a few lol and for context for those that said park some where else, I got home at 11pm last night and I live in LA. There was legit only one spot on the street and that was the only one open in a reasonable distance from my house. He sprays mud on my car via spraying the hose into his dying grass that's mostly loose dirt from in between the curb and sidewalk.
