I lived in a 300sqft apartment in a bad neighborhood. eight women were raped in my parking lot over the span of a year.

along the baseboard of the entire apartment was cat litter from the previous tenant.

the kitchen was painted flat black. the cabinets, the floor, the ceiling, the sink, the counter tops, the walls, the stove. everything. there was a window but it did nothing.

there was one door in the whole apartment, the front door. no door on the bathroom, no door on the bedroom, hell there wasn't even a wall for the bedroom.

the bathroom was 5' 8" tall. I know this because I'm over 6' tall.

the HVAC system never had a filter in it. I know this because to cool my 300sqft it cost me $700 one month and I thought, "no fucking way!" I pulled the side of the blower off and looked up into the a-coil. it was so matted with hair, fur, dust, dirt, it looked like cardboard. it took me four hours and two bottles of bleach spray to clean it with a toilet brush in 100°+ weather.

so to recap on what I did

• cleaned the litter up
• steamed the carpets twice (probably for the first time ever)
• freshly painted the kitchen
• refurbished the kitchen cabinets, stove, and sink and made them look brand new
• cleaned the HVAC system
• installed new insulation in the bathroom so it wasn't 13° in the winter and trimmed it up
• installed plug plates because half of them were missing
• replaced some of the plugs because they were so worn out they stopped working

now, some of you might say, "you're an idiot because you did all that free work!" and normally you'd be right, but this landlord never answered their phone unless you missed rent.

when I left that fat fuck tried to keep my deposit because I didn't have proof that the carpets were cleaned. Told him they were cleaned, personally by myself with my own equipment. then said there was trash left behind, then explained the furniture left behind was there I moved in. bastard kept half still.

worst apartment I've ever had. I was burned so bad the next place I took pictures of EVERYTHING before a box was moved in. that's a story for another time though.

fix it? it fucking feeds into it!

I kinda feel vindicated now. after the whole "dumbledore is gay" thing, I complained that it was bullshit and made absolutely zero sense.

the whole journey none of it came up once, nor did it progress his character arch at all. it was a bit of fluff that sold books.

it cheapened the struggles of being gay IMO and honestly makes more sense now than it did then considering what kind of a vile troll she is.

I recommend it and hope you can get the support you deserve.

low key hope this happens.

it's gonna be fuckin funny to watch all IT in the US grind to a halt because everyone who WFH can't work because their internet was cut off.

then a week into mandatory office returns someone will get the whole datacenter cut off because they're running torrents from their laptop.

dumb fucks are going after the worst people to fuck with.

• fieldworkers
• women
• gamers
• IT support

don't fuck with IT. they know what filthy shit you watch from home.

bribes are for preferential treatment.

gifts are given to people who help you out and appreciate your efforts.

all this does is tells employees that customer satisfaction isn't a concern and they only have to make sure the customers are satisfied enough to not complain with zero effort to reward employees that go above and beyond the role.

if you work in a place like this, wake up. you're a cog in an orphan grinding machine.

mine made my phone all sticky.

I've noticed a large upswing of "fuck Americans" posts recently too.

isn't that the shit that Trump smells like?

dumbfucks are using regex improperly.

they're using /.*(trans).*/ instead of /\s{1,}(trans)[- (sexual|[fe]*male)]*\s{1,}/

does jerking off while I'm supposed to be working count?

so instead of making a post about Europe you made another post about America?

that's because the narrative was important to their long-term goals and has not only ruined the months of setup, but also wasted the efforts.

he's a really lazy man and hates working.

ok guy, you're right. you're way better at being poor than I could ever be.

when someone threatens my way of life for their own gain, it's not just an attack on me but my family.

if someone is willing to use fear as a tool they better be ready to have it used against themselves. I understand that, and I hope they learned the same that day.

I work well with others and try my best to work with anyone, but I'll be damned to sit back and allow someone to walk all over me.

it used to be. my kids can be loud and I was constantly on edge. it became a problem when I started yelling at them. I realized I was starting to do to them what had happened to me.

After a year of trying I was finally able to get a Dr to prescribe some meds and it's been so much better. I'm not nearly as jumpy or quick to anger anymore.

feel like I can finally be a better dad than I had.

yeah sure. the costs stop after you buy it. not like you have to pay to run it or anything.

I think you underestimate how poor some families are.

my wife never understood how I could walk around our 100+ year old house without making a sound.

she brought it up one Christmas and my sister told her, "you know why that is, right? because dad was a light sleeper and would have beat our asses to death if he woke up."

it really put it in perspective for my wife hearing that from my sister and not just me.

I'm on meds now, and it makes the anxiety manageable.
