He's an expert negotiator and will negotiate just about anything . . . except, where he gets to dump his load and what he expects you to do with it.

Yep, in my mouth and I'd have to swallow it, ALL of it. Those were his terms and they were non-negotiable.

(I could live with that)

Alright friends, we've got a chapter break, so enjoy the first part of the injured!Laura fic I've been teasing the past few days. And thank you all so, so much for the support. I adore each and everyone one of you and I hope you enjoy the semi-final product while I keep going on the second half.

*hands 📁 to you*

Thank you kindly! May I offer you this in these trying times: "Assimilated Sonic AU Thing"

AKA the Post-Frontiers fic where Sonic, king of Not Asking For Help, decides to break into one of Eggman's bases, lock himself in one of Eggman's detention cells, and refuse to elaborate until Eggman, concerned about this blue rat for the first time in his life, literally begs him to explain what's going on, leading to this lovely exchange:

“Sonic, have you been possessed by a malicious entity?” Ivo asked.

“. . . maybe a little?”

---

Basically, The End is trying to take over Sonic's body, leaving him in various states of amnesia the longer time goes on. Eggman is forced to work with Sonic's friends to find a way to fix this, because the last thing Eggman wants is for someone with all of Sonic's power but none of Sonic's compassion to be unleashed upon the world.

This fic is inspired by all of the speculation around Sonic Frontiers, where everyone thought Sonic was going to get corrupted by the entity that we now know is The End. The name that people keep using for the concept is "Assimilated!Sonic", hence the title.

Fun facts I plan on adding in the future if I decide to turn this fic into a long fic (curse my ambitious bones):

Sage is there, and to everyone's surprise, she's the only one that Sonic remembers consistently regardless of what state of amnesia he's in.

Shadow shows up to act as a Leading Expert On Dealing With Amnesiac People, and does a surprisingly good job at it.

Tails has to work with Eggman to build an apparatus strong enough to keep Sonic from escaping while they figure out how to get The End out of him. Angst (but also a strange bit of understanding?) ensues.

Eventual Eggdad content between him and all of these funky teenagers?? Where he starts to show concern even for Sonic???

(Un)authorized use of the Master Emerald

Exploring the nature of Sage's use of "backups" of herself- is it really her if she's a backup of a backup? Does it matter?

went on a little rant about mcr and emo today and it feels nice to say my thoughts out loud

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

The jail, like the reformatory, is a stepping stone to the penitentiary. The American people are too prone to see their fellow citizens locked up in jail. The thought uppermost in the minds of most law enforcement officers, justices and policemen, seems to be to get the largest possible number of people behind prison walls. Their efficiency seems to depend only on the number of arrests made and convictions secured. An officer should be promoted for the number of people he succeeded in keeping out of jail instead of the number he puts in, by the number he has kept from crime instead of the number caught in crime. The thing to do is to prevent people from becoming criminals. The chief duty of the policeman, and all law officers, should be to prevent crime. When once the stigma of the prison is upon a man or a woman, self-respect begins to wane and it becomes easier for them to travel the broad highway to crime and to the penitentiary. The first time in jail is the real turning point to many a life of crime. Every possible effort should be made to keep people out of jail instead of putting them in. You can never get rid of the flies by swatting them. To exterminate them it is necessary to get rid of the breeding places.

Everything that could possibly be said about the disreputable conditions of penitentiaries and their mismanagement can also be truthfully said about the average city and county jail. The crooks on the inside are not any worse than the grafters on the outside. Why the ancient practice of allowing a jailor sixty cents a day for feeding prisoners, and then permitting him to supply them with twenty cents worth of grub, and pocket the difference, is tolerated, is hard to explain. This species of graft is a worse offense than the crime committed by the average prisoner.

The laying of traps, and the placing of temptations in order to entice susceptible or potential law-breakers, should be absolutely abolished. The unlawful enforcement of law is never justified. The shop-keeper who displays a tempting bait to induce a youngster to snitch it, and then have him arrested and thrown in jail, is not any better than the speedcop or the public officers who set speed-traps on the public highway, tempt the unsuspecting motorist to “step on it,” and then pinch him for speeding.

...

There has been a great deal of criticism on account of lax discipline in prisons. I have no sympathy with the practice of babying or coddling prisoners. A convict, in a normal physical and mental state, resents mushing and petting. It does him no good. He should be treated like a grown-up human being, provided with a decent, sanitary place to live, plenty of wholesome food, useful work that he is capable of doing, or can learn to do, paid a small wage to support dependents, and taught to be a self-reliant, useful citizen, and then restored to his family and to society. Long imprisonment is useless. The worst punishment, the greatest suffering, the deepest humiliation, comes right in the beginning. In some cases a few months imprisonment would serve the same purpose as a few years.

The primary object of imprisonment should be the reformation of the wrong-doer. The duration of the imprisonment should depend more on the prisoner than on the offense. Punishment should be for the offender rather than for the offense. No judge or jury is capable of determining in advance the length of the sentence that is necessary and proper in all cases. Neither is a judge thoroughly fitted to understand the men whom he sentences to the penitentiary or to the gallows unless he leaves the bench and goes down into the laboratory and studies physchology and biology like Chief Justice Olson of Chicago did. The microscope, the chemical test tube, the x-ray, and the psychoanalytical chart will reveal much that the prosecutor and the law books will not disclose. The proper training and experience of the officials is very important. No judge should be permitted to sit on the bench of a criminal court, and pass judgment on his fellow citizens, without having spent a term in the penitentiary himself, or so familiarized himself with penal institutions and convicts as to grasp the point of view of the prisoner. This applies also to the prosecuting attorneys. There should be a public defender as well as a public prosecutor in order to protect and safeguard the poor, the innocent, and the victim of circumstances. It should not be forgotten that there are two classes of people, those who sin, and those who are sinned against. If either class is to be envied it is the first rather than the second. Ought not society to be as much concerned about protecting the innocent and keeping them out of jail, as about punishing the guilty and placing them behind prison walls? Competent prison authorities and parole boards should make a careful personal study of each individual accused of crime or sentenced. After a prisoner has served a minimum term, not to exceed one year, he should be eligible for parole. As a rule no imprisonment for more than two years serves any good purpose. When the parole board is satisfied from his previous life and record, his character, his chemical, physical and mental make-up, and his prison record, that a parole is justified, it should be granted, regardless of the length of the sentence. These matters should be in the hands of technologists who have wisdom, and not in the hands of politicians who have power and pull. The good of the public deserves first consideration, the welfare of the individual second. If the prisoner is a menace to society, a danger to the community or to himself, unable to control himself, and beyond a cure, his imprisonment should be continued indefinitely. There are cases, of course, where the heinousness of the offense, or the viciousness of the individual, might justify life imprisonment. It all depends on the individual case. No rule of thumb can be adopted or followed.

In a number of the larger cities, and in the better penitentiaries, psychopathic laboratories have been established for the scientific mental examination of the subjects. This is absolutely essential. A psychopathic laboratory, and also a chemical laboratory, should be established in every prison of the country. The effective cooperation of the psychiatrist, the chemist, and the physician should determine the physical and mental state of the prisoner. The abnormal prisoners should be treated accordingly, whether the abnormality be mental or physical. A thorough examination will reveal the fact that many convicts committed offenses because they were afflicted by physical or mental diseases. Many are cured by proper chemical and mental readjustments. When cured a long step will have been taken in restoring them not only to normalcy, but to good citizenship. The legal concept of punishment will give way to the medical conception of treatment. Many will be found with arrested mentality. They may have the body of an adult, but the mind of a six or eight-year-old child. We tolerate and pamper the innocent idiot in the community, but we are quick to condemn those on the border-line of mental deficiency the moment they become law-breakers. Many mental defectives are experts in crime. By correcting the chemistry of their blood, and their inhibitions and complexes, many of them can be rescued from a life of crime. If this is not possible their place is in the asylum and not in the penitentiary. There is no criminal class except in so far as criminal misconduct has become habitual with certain individuals. Most criminals are selected by force of circumstances from the community at large. If the reader believes in the Lombroso “criminal type,” and has in his mind the features of some “Jack-the-Ripper,” with a shifty, sinister look, a scowl on his face, a cruel glint in his eyes, with a low brow, and a heavy, resolute jaw, or any other description of the supposed criminal, let him carefully observe his neighbor, or the crowd in the court room, or look in the mirror; then perhaps he will change his mind.

If the inmates of a prison could be turned loose in a court room full of curious people, gathered to listen to the sordid details of a murder trial, and all intermingle with the spectators, the court officials, the lawyers, and the expert witnesses, I would defy anyone to pick out the convicts from the rest of the gang. They are unfortunate human beings the same as you and I—not much better, not much worse—and deserve humane treatment and a chance to make good if they have the will and the capacity to do so.

After a prisoner is released, whether by parole or by having served his time, there should be a careful and rational follow-up system; not for the purpose of hounding him, but to help him to earn an honest living. In this the police department should give active and friendly cooperation. We find that at least 92 out of every hundred paroled men make good. With proper assistance the percentage could be made higher. I have seen, as other men have seen, so much of the haphazard system that has been practiced of arresting people, throwing them in jail, humiliating, punishing, and then releasing them, and then arresting them, and repeating this same process, without any good results, that it seems to me the time has come when we should try the noble experiment as outlined by the Wickersham commission, and as herein suggested.

While lack of proper home training and surroundings is the greatest cause of the increase in crime committed by the younger generation, it is by no means the only one. Ignorance, poverty and disease are responsible for much of it.

The Most Important Information to Give the IRS to Settle Your IRS Tax Debts

If you Owe Back Taxes, if you are suffering from an Economic Hardship and if can’t pay your Monthly Living Expenses, you May be in Luck!☘️

When you owe back taxes to the IRS, May suddenly become very interested in your monthly income and expenses!

In fact you may want the IRS to know about your personal financial situation!

You may want to share your monthly expenses, such as your;

• Housing costs

• Car payment, gas, and insurance

• Gas, water, electric and other utility bills

• Medical insurance

• Cell phone

• Groceries and dining out

…and much more.

Why would you share this information with the IRS?

It all comes down to what the IRS calls Allowable Living Expenses.

The second you become a tax debtor, the IRS has a Secret tax lien against everything you own, including your future income. This is a feature of federal law, and it’s the basis for all the other collection actions that the IRS can take against you, such as a Wage Garnishment or Bank Levy.

Because of the lien, the IRS legally has a say in how you spend your money. Nobody likes this, but it’s the reality of how the US tax code works.

As with most laws, there is a long and complicated list of rules that go into determining what place the IRS holds in line behind or ahead of your other creditors, but the bottom line is that the IRS wants to get paid, and they have power to make your life a living nightmare by enforcing the tax laws over your money and assets.

It’s not all bad, however. There are specific legal protections that exist to prevent the IRS from taking everything you own. In simple terms, the IRS is not allowed to make you destitute. In other words, they are not allowed to put your family out on the street or force your children to starve if it creates an Financial Hardship on you and your family.

This is where those Allowable Living Expenses (ALE) come in. The IRS must allow you to pay all your basic living expenses, even if it means you cannot pay the IRS what you owe them. Sounds Great! Mostly, other than the tax lien they may file.

The IRS has legal standards that is required to follow and allow you and your family to pay before the IRS can collect anything. These are the usual categories:

• Food, clothing, personal care products, and “miscellaneous”

• Out of pocket health care costs

• Vehicle ownership and operating costs

• Rent or mortgage

• Utilities, including gas, water, electric, cell phone, Internet, and more

For vehicle operating costs, housing, and utilities, they do take into account regional variations for these costs. The rest are all based on national numbers. All the numbers also have adjustments based on family size.

These numbers “dictate” what the IRS will allow you to spend every month to live. Your income, when compared to these allowable standards, is what determines which IRS tax relief options you may be eligible for.

If your income is less than the total monthly allowable living expenses for Honolulu or where you live and family size, you might be eligible for a program that allows you to pay the IRS nothing. Yes, nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

If your income is also less than the total monthly allowable living expenses, the IRS calculate for you, but you have assets – such as lots of equity in your home, stocks, bonds, classic cars, crypto, or the world’s most valuable Vinyl Record collection – then they’re going to take into consideration the value of those assets, too. But, in such a situation, you may be able to settle your tax debt for less than what you owe, and walk away from the rest.

If your income is more than the allowable living expense calculation, then the IRS is going to take that “excess” income into consideration for a reduced settlement. If you’re not eligible for a reduced settlement – which most people are not – then this “excess” income becomes the monthly minimal payment the IRS can require as a monthly payment.

One of the first things that Tax Relief Services can help our clients when they hire us to help them with a tax debt problem is to conduct a detailed Preliminary Analysis the exact same detailed financial analysis that the IRS should do but most of the time will not. We do the Preliminary Analysis for a number of reasons, such as:

1. Determining which IRS programs you’re eligible for.

2. Seek opportunities to legally increase your allowable living expenses.

3. Determine if the IRS balances are correct.

4. Look for unique circumstances that might open doors to outside-the-box resolution options.

This preliminary financial analysis is crucial for us to be able to get the best possible deal for our clients. Since the vast majority of tax debtors will end up on a monthly payment plan to the IRS, our job is to help get you the smallest possible monthly payment and help you minimize the short-term financial impact on your budget.

The IRS is NOT LOOKING OUR FOR YOU, BUT TAX RELIEF SERVICES IS!

If you’re in a situation where the IRS is hounding your, then we should chat. You don’t want to wind up in a situation where the IRS simply pigeon-holes you into the situation that is most convenient for them, leaving you unable to pay other monthly bills. Just schedule a time to chat:

The chiropractic adjustment is a hands-on technique used to realign the spine and joints, relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.

This non-invasive procedure is effective for treating various musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches, often providing immediate relief and restoring balance to the body.

2. Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) Examination:

The neuromusculoskeletal examination is a comprehensive assessment performed by chiropractors to evaluate the health and function of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems.
