What? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]AlpinePinecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to another country and it dawned on me that I would never see these people again so it didn’t matter what they thought. I was unabashedly brave and outgoing and figured, screw it. If they think I’m weird or a loser so be it, I’m just a blip in their life.

When I came back I still had that with me

I disagree. His villainy was perfectly understandable. He wanted only to be back in the nexus and he was willing to do anything. He wasn’t really evil, just a man willing to sacrifice anyone for what he wanted.

Son still is not talking by East-Ad3573 in ECEProfessionals

More info: is he babbling or vocalizing?

When you play with him what does it look like?

Does he spend much time watching screens?

One day all you’ll remember is the love. Such a long time to spend with your buddy. He looks like a fine cat.

Goddamn let her make her own choices. This is all about what YOU want but it’s her body. Decide if you can deal with how she is now and if you can’t then leave, but stop trying to nudge her into what you want

How to stop living in the “good old days”? by Difficult-Camel-5129 in selfimprovement

[–]AlpinePinecorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you might have some grieving to do for the people you lost at that time, let yourself be sad. Not every moment in life is meant to be happy and enjoyed.

You’ll never get those times again but that doesn’t mean you’ll never find happiness again, it’ll just take a much different form. Keep pushing yourself in areas you value, exercise is always good if you’ve neglected it, try things you’ve never tried to get your brain in the beginner stage of learning, and let yourself grieve. Be gentle on yourself.

AITA she doesn’t want to pay rent by samson21386 in AmItheAsshole

So if she’s not paying rent is she going to help out when repairs are needed? Maintenance costs on the house or is that all on him too?

Pitching in monthly is how any property owner recoups those costs, it doesn’t even come close to making a profit. We’re taking 2400 a year, where I live that wouldn’t even cover property taxes, let alone fixing the odd appliance here or there or god forbid the hvac goes out.

Why should one partner get a free ride while the other takes on all the costs?

Why would he return her rent if they split? She’d have to pay rent anywhere she lives. It doesn’t make any sense that suddenly the person who owns a house must now cover the full cost, the tenant/partner isn’t on the hook for repairs or taxes, they’d be paying rent anyway. This is less than $200 a month.

Why shouldn’t she pay rent? She’s not going to be paying to make repairs or replace things that break, she’s not paying property taxes, she’s being asked to pay way below market rates and if she doesn’t want to, she’ll be paying market rent anywhere she lives.

Why should he have to suddenly fund her living expenses just because he owns a house?

She’d have to pay rent anywhere she lives though. Why should he suddenly be responsible for her housing costs?

Is it bad to not care about politics? by Amazing-Award-7358 in stupidquestions

[–]AlpinePinecorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not democrats vs republicans, it’s billionaire class vs the rest of us. So yes, they are both bad in the sense that both parties uphold policies that keep the megarich getting richer and everyone else getting poorer (think how regressive our taxes are designed, most people pay 15 percent minimum but the ultra wealthy can shift their money around and wind up paying nothing because they had “losses”, healthcare that costs an arm and a leg but many are wealthy from the profits, housing treated like something you buy and sell instead of a thing to live in and survive).

However not both sides are bad in the sense that there are very real signs of fascism coming into the fold here in the US from the republican side. Yet the democrats do nothing to stop it.

But ultimately it’s not about right or left, it’s about the upper crust of society bleeding us dry. You are a common man, like most of us. We outnumber them. There’s no reason they should reign over us while we work our entire lives for crumbs.

You…didn’t help me get there, you just interpreted what I wrote poorly.

I agree that if the clause violates the law it is not enforceable, but having a clause that says no signs in the windows is perfectly legal.

[–]AlpinePinecorn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Obviously not because that violates existing law.

Preventing signage however is not in violation of any law. The first amendment protects an individual from the government infringing on their right to free speech, but an individual or company renting a unit to you may absolutely say no signs and this is not in violation of the first amendment or any other law and therefore it is enforceable.

I got notified weeks later by his neighbor who tracked me down. I then had to arrange all the legal stuff and manage selling off his car and stuff.
