My fraternity housing committee hired a guy to come on weekdays and clean the house. We were one of the biggest houses and had a lot of parties, and this guy definitely worked hard and earned his pay.

I remember there was one party when I was a pledge, the next day he showed up to work, took one look at the mess, and promptly went back home. I can't blame him, it took 12 of us like 2 hours to clean it all.

Has there ever been something so disgusting that you were like "Fuck it, I'm out"?

Not OP but I can give some insight into how that might come about, and it has to do with the background check.

Basically, police have a background check that usually takes about 6+ months, starts with a huge personal history statement and involves everything from a polygraph exam, to psychological test, to be assigned an investigator who does everything from review credit history to calling ex girlfriends and getting their opinion of the applicant (yep). Everyone has something in their past, and the applicant fills out pretty much every misstep they have ever taken, whether they have been caught or not. A lot of it is subjective, because everyone has something in their past they aren’t proud of, so the background investigators have to make a judgement call.

Here’s the thing. If someone doesn’t report something and it is found, either during the background check or somehow gets found out later, bad news bears, the cop is on their own, they might be let go, etc. But if something is reported and the department knows about it, they pass the applicant, and it comes up later, the department won’t care. They already decided it didn’t bother them then, they aren’t going to change their mind now. My guess is that this is the second scenario.

Now, I can’t make the judgement call whether it was right for the department to pass that person. It’s definitely concerning. But on the other hand, people change, I don’t know the conversation that took place. I’m not defending the department, just giving perspective on why the department might decline to do anything.

Seriously. I’m asking what to do with my stock. The last few days it has bouncing around like crazy. I want to hold onto it because a recession is coming and Costco will do well in a recession, but I also want to dump it because I’m already 50% over what I bought it at, and... a recession is coming lol.

Hi Chris!

It was a great show with a fantastic purpose, but if I recall correctly, there were a number of allegations about entrapment on To Catch A Predator.

Im curious. Did any of those lead to lawsuits? And in general, were the people featured on the show tried and convicted successfully?

When doing the sting operations, how closely did you work with law enforcement? I know there would be cops waiting outside, but did you work with them to set up the stings as well?

The Church of Scientology has made it clear that the church IS the religion, and will sue for trademark infringement if it is practiced outside the church. The church also has an extended history of being absolutely terrible, going back to LRH.

By contrast, the bible is very clear about molestation, and the church has condemned the molestation scandal.

Individuals can be awesome, and I truly believe any should have the right to believe whatever they want. If someone wants to worship Xenu, let them. But when people in charge of the religion harass people just for speaking out against it?.

Again. The religious beliefs about scientology are irrelevant IMO. But the church of scientology has shown time and time again that it is not a religious organization, but a scam. So my question is, disregarding the beliefs of its members (which I think they have the right to have), how do you still support the church?
