You should not be under any obligation to assume or respect any proposed authority by a person unwilling to show you their face.

This sentence should not need to be spoken.

ICE first.

Oh look, the media underplaying the seriousness of folks being deported without due process.

This is why I’ll never thank the troops.

Good point. Although, anything non-utility related is subject to the woes private equity not serving the public interest.

i.e. if you rent in an apartment building, this isn’t an option in every city. Some local plumbers are NOT gonna touch the pipes on a corporate owned building. That kinda thing. All the way to where I have lived in a unit, had plumbing issues (thus the broken toilet analogy), and the case was such that the only plumber that would come to the building was the one that the building contracted out for the building.

In my case, this meant that my plumbing issues were known, unfixable, and fuck me. My recourse was withholding rent until the end of my lease, with only the obligation to pay what is owed if they prove the issue has been resolved.

Ultimately, this lead to them not renewing my lease.

I did get away with withholding and not paying 3 months rent. They still sent to collections, and I spent more than that fighting it.

I am now suing for damages.

Ultimately, I will win, but the stress is not worth the value of 3 months rent saved (+ “damages”)

Uhm, cool, but …

Rent isn’t due every 48 hours.

So, the landlord can effectively wait a month.

When you withhold rent, you do so until the terms are met, then you pay what’s owed. It isn’t a discount, it’s an incentive.

(e.g., the toilet is not functional. Okay. Rent is $2k, but I am renting a place with a bathroom, and I don’t have that. Get me my bathroom and I’ll get you your $2k.)

So… I don’t get it. You cannot enforce 48 hours unless the repair is requested less than 48 hours before rent is due.

It’s funny how much better Mississippi is and how bad Mississippi is.

Email comes in. Looks actionable. Is that on me? Mark as Todo.

End of day: oh yeah, I’ll check tomorrow.

I can probably archive this, no one’s mentioned it…

lol so if he makes a video on it, the remaining corners of the online world that don’t care about politics will have beef with the US.

Nice.

Reminds generally of Spanish and porque/por que

Porque === because

Por que === for what?

Y’all Qaeda.

No taxation without representation.

Aaaaand blocked.

Never thought I’d hope someone goes through a miscarriage, but I hope he finds himself suddenly not a father and also fighting for his wife’s exoneration.

lol I already have you tagged as bootlicker. Probably just block you at this point.

The fucking account from his husband is the most clear cut hate crime shit.

They came home to their dead dogs skull in their driveway before the assailant approached them, yelling homophobic slurs, and shot him. Also, someone in their neighborhood set their house in fire earlier this year.

Fuck that county. I hope that king of the hill money gets used to turn that fucking county admin inside out.

Truly depends on the level of arrogance, I think.

I’ve said it several times. Harvard runs shit in the Boston area more than people outside the New England area realize.

Here

Harvard runs shit, in broad daylight secrecy, from within a democratic stronghold.

Is he 11 years old? What kind of loser bitch asks for a parade on their birthday? Or like, at all?

Name one honorable person that has requested a parade in their honor.

“can you imagine, calling him an employee?”

Hey get this, if you’re a worker in any industry Trump doesn’t respect you.
