That's also a great idea. We could offer him the likely cost of legal proceedings. Ugh. Never again.

I think you're being a Realistic Rhonda.

That's a really good point and I can't disagree. Worst case, our annoyance tactics fail and we have the court proceedings already in motion. You're totally right.

Thanks! It's annoying now but we'll laugh about it someday. I'm glad your squatters are gone, it gives me hope.

The problem is I am thinking and what you're saying makes no sense. It seems like you're also unable to explain this, so I suspect you didn't think about it yourself.

We're not in the US and, where we live, to file for eviction we must take this to court for a judge to validate the reason for eviction. Typical eviction times range between 3-9 months. We're going to try being such terrible flatmates that he decides to leave. No more free food or access to our toiletries. We'll be blasting our music all day. I'm growing several konjac plants which produce flowers that smell like rotting meat.

If this doesn't work, then we'll take the legal route.

Holy shit, are you me? We're going through the same thing. A not close friend of mine got evicted so his landlord could renovate his apartment and he has been living with us for six months now, for free. He stays in his room and plays video games all day, every day. He has no job. He subsists on dry cereal unless we feed him. He barely interacts with us. He doesn't do anything to help with chores, instead agreeing to assist and then just "forgetting". He sleeps from 6 am to 2 pm and is up all fucking night. We only know if he's awake because we can hear him playing games.

We told him two months ago that he needs to leave by now but he still has no job and no prospects. My wife, him, and I are in our fifties. We have a 55 year old child.

LOL, what now? Are you claiming countries are experiencing significantly higher temperatures than forecasted due to having or being in deserts?

I'm sorry, I agree 100%. I forgot my /s.

Ok, but it's not gonna happen.

Certainly not with that attitude.

Assuming they're referring to the Christian God, a selfish, emotionally unstable mega toddler, their behavior would be appropriate.

Big oof here. Maybe make sure you understand what you're talking about before criticizing others?

What we have here, friends, is a classic example of a thought-terminating cliché.

If that's true, go get checked out. Tachycardia is often easily treated but can be a serious issue if you ignore it.

Clearly criticism for a candidate has no other purpose than getting people to vote for their opponents.

/d

Oh wait, that's actually true if you live in the United States, where you lot play politics like team sports.

Watch out, you're going to piss off the neoliberals! Influx of bad arguments based on false dichotomies in 3...2...1...

I'm 99% certain you're from the United States if you think MSNBC is anything beyond center to center left.

LOL

While I'm disappointed by all this because we've had some good conversations here in the past, a quick view of your post history shows me those were the exception, not the rule. You frequently deflect, project, fabricate, and ultimately insult to attack opposing viewpoints, all the while wrapping yourself in a banner of legitimacy by claiming the other is illegitimate, simply for being the other. You determine they're the other by pulling frequent "no true Scotsmans" based on the flimsiest proof. All of this just like the MAGA fascists did to Kyle Rittenhouse as described in the linked article. For what it's worth, we're on the same side on Rittenhouse, though I now know you'll use that as evidence I'm a MAGA plant, a fake leftist, or something similar.

You're so afraid of facing someone on an equal playing field that you burn and salt the field as a matter of course. Or maybe you just believe what you think of right is the ultimate truth so strongly that you feel justified in bludgeoning people that disagree. Or maybe you're just a bully that enjoys what you do. Who knows.

To be fair, they're not the hard left. Hang with enough actual socialists and communists and you'll hear a lot of comments to the extent of a "well armed proletariat". These tend to be United States neoliberal centrists, who believe they're hard left because their Overton window has been yanked hard to the right.
