I believe it's anything below 70, so he's still above the technical mental disability line....but not by much.

This isn't even necessarily true. I lived in PA for a while and during primaries they can "temporarily" enroll independant voters into a party. They then unenroll you once voting is over, it's to prevent you from being able to vote in both primaries. You do not "have" to be registered with a party year round to vote in a primary in PA. They'll switch you over day of and switch you back after.

I thought he was working on a scene and not "goofing around" when the incident occurred. Was he actually just playing with the "prop" gun?

In some states it's illegal and in some others just highly discouraged to tip your realtor. A top to your mortgage loan officer would probably look like a bribe. Not sure outside the US though.

That book is my white whale. I've tried 4 or 5 times to read that thing and I've never made it to the part where they start hunting whales.

The background companies we go through here in the US aren't "random people" and you sign a release of that information for them when they start that background check. So you've given them permission to access that info on you. I don't know what HRs your dealing with but if it's random hiring managers asking you then they have no idea what's in a typical background check anyway.

If the rumor that he's on so much medication he's shitting himself is true then it seems likely he can't get it up either.

Most big background check service companies are checking your criminal history directly with the court houses of where you've told them you've lived. Many will also verify your past employment directly with those companies as well. Depending on the company/job title they may also be checking your credit score/bankruptcy history or verifying degrees with universities as well. They don't care about what data brokers have on you because they're getting verification on things directly from official sources.

I don't know if you're worried that your too "locked down" privacy wise for a background check to clear? I wouldn't worry because if you're using your countries equivalent of a SSN and living "on the grid" but not online at all they'll still be able to get the info they need/want anyway. I've had employees who didn't even have emails or own phones/computers clear background.

I can't figure out if she has even asked for his help on this, if she hasn't then perhaps he should just back off until she does.

It's worded poorly, the article is saying that he maintained the "normal weight" of 180 pounds after he finished fasting and didn't gain it all back again once he started eating.
