The obligation to treat patients who are in need in an emergency setting IS a legal obligation in the US. If a patient is refused treatment at an emergency room, both the doctor and hospital can get gigantic fines. I don't remember the max off hand, but it's somewhere along the lines of $50,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. The law in question is EMTALA, or the emergency medical treatment and active labor act. A patient must receive stabilizing treatment, or be stabilized to the best of the hospital's ability and transferred to appropriate care.

Having been involved in a conversation about this sort of family dynamic with police, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless OP is in a gigantic city, he is not going to receive any help from the police that actually protects him. What will happen is the police will listen to his story, then go talk to the other parties involved to get their story.

If an officer believes him right off the bat, they can/may hold off on talking to the rest of the family and tipping them off that OP is making these claims, but even in that case OP still may be stuck in the house. They might be able to connect him to a shelter. Might. The problem is that he is male. Male domestic violence shelters are almost certainly going to be a shit-show at best, and 95% chance there isn't a shelter for males of domestic violence within any distance that the cops would help him get to.

The best bet for OP that involves cops is to follow Chonk's advice: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/3089471/5115602

Use the cops for what they are actually good at: protecting you in the exact moment they are there. Anything else is going to be a time-consuming investigation, unless the brother/father literally admit to planning to kill OP.

I mean, I agree that it looks pretty normal. Maybe if it grows considerably more when he's aroused, it would be in the above average range, but that's well below most of what you see in porn.

I don't deserve it. You don't deserve it.

ah, thanks. I edited yours into the comment now.

Plenty of salad dressings are just hopped up vinegars anyway.

If it helps, it's because it is a really, really bad situation if the person's pilot chute is unsecured inside of the plane. The pilot chute is a small chute that drags out your main parachute, and if it goes out the door it can be a terrible day for everyone involved. If it goes over the plane's tail it can damage the control surface, ruining the pilot's control; it can drag the skydiver out of the plane in an uncontrolled manner, leading to injury by hitting surfaces of the plane and possibly being entangled in the various lines; and the person can injure or cause more mayhem with the others still on the plane.

If the pilot chute isn't securely tucked away in the plane, courtesy is to stomp on it and everyone works to restow it where it belongs, but if it is near the door or already being sucked out the door? We all agree that the safest thing is to get that person out of the plane as fast as possible.

Two rejoinders to that: the video games and the books. Rogue Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, and even that one game in the arcade (that was so frustrating) were amazing. I personally wasn't as much of a fan of the Thrawn trilogy as some, but the books about the kids of the movies' characters were pretty fun to get through.

I think the majority of the X and millennial fans fell in love through those just as much as from the original movies.

Texas, specifically, passed a law since the last election that lets them throw away votes from democratic areas areas with 'issues.' It basically only targets a specific democratic area right now, but I would put the chances of them using it well above 50%.

I've been waiting for the day I get to push someone from the plane. Everyone always talks about it, and hopes it doesn't happen to them, but we all secretly want to have the experience of applying our foot to someone else's ass at altitude.

Keep your pilot chute stowed, lads.

This has been a message from your local skydiver's unvoiced desires

Good god, the stress that would be on the hydrofoil's connecting pieces makes my meager mind whimper.

The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the 'Thur' and say, "but everybody calls me Thor," and roll your eyes a bit. They'll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won't be known as Thurman.

I'm surprised. Most trainers get into vaporeon at the least...

I still mispronounce those words from time to time, and I bloody well know how they're supposed to be said.

Oh, fuck. I just had one of those, 'Duh!' moments.

The untold story: 1.) the grade was curved due to everyone's low numbers

2.) no one wanted to get near the rocks to identify them because there was one weird mofo walking on all fours around the displays, randomly snarling and licking each one

Homeslice identified a few more than everybody else and his grade shot to the moon.

Spider-chan did nothing wrong! She was attacked first!

Your words may be small, but your place in my life isn't. i feel you, dog.

First, they aren't critical in either of those roles, and second, there are a few thousand species of mosquitoes, and only five of them cause issues with human health. Get rid of those five, and you haven't caused much ruckus. The others will be fine in their continued parts.

Now, that being said, nobody knows for certain what will happen if all five are completely eradicated, but the sentiment above seems to be the consensus among people who have studied them.

Law enforcement already can just subpoena/get-a-search-warrant-for them all they want. Why would they bother with paying a fee?
