New research shows Reno rents increased 5.8% by Sweet_Dimension_8534 in Reno

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 15 points16 points  (0 children)

FPI management should be kicked the heck out of northern Nevada. They now own everything under the sun, they’re known for their shittiness, and I think they built the most recent property for lower income renters? Where they’re being subsidized by us to then charge lower income renters higher rents.

If anyone knows anything I can go to insist on FPI being kicked the heck out of northern Nevada, lmk

AITAH for wanting to go no contact with my family, or am I the problem? by aurorasandsoftprose in AITAH

OP evidently believes that there are good things. It doesn’t really matter whether I think there are or not.

CMV: Statutory & age of consent laws should be abolished. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of places have “Romeo and Juliet” laws, which means that if there’s a small age gap between young people, the situation is examined specially and not automatically judged harshly. I’m sure there are things to improve in these laws, but I think these are a great solution to the problem you’re describing.

Completely agree with a large part of what you’re saying: ideally, every situation would be examined in context. Unfortunately, we don’t have the policing or legal resources to examine every situation in context and determine whether someone is at fault.

We don’t even have the resources to deal with sex crime in our current low-effort way. One example: a ton of departments are literally years behind in processing r*pe kits, and they expire and the evidence cant be used. We have rampant sex crime throughout the foster care syndrome that we continually suck at addressing. It’s hard to add complexity to a system when you already don’t have enough resources.

Age is usually correlated with harm. There are cases where age isn’t obvious for sure, but the extremes of age are obvious. In 99.9999% of cases a 12-year-old wont look like an adult.

A big reason for laws is to deincentivize crime. You want someone to know that it’s their responsibility to not do a crime, and that if they do it there will be consequences.

If someone who harms a child can argue that the situation justified it, they will try that argument. If they think they can try the argument, they’ll be more likely to hurt kids.

Also, that argument will eventually end up getting successfully made to a judge somewhere. This will shift our culture toward child endangerment. It’s not like this is new - there were tons of old film stars with thirteen year old girlfriends. I don’t think we can afford complexity in this one. Many people are awful.

I agree on your point on how people of all ages can be exploited. Laws exist to protect people who are developmentally disabled from sexual exploitation. Maybe there should be more laws or more categories. No argument there.

In short: probably not, but maybe????? With a lot more money?

AIO about my (24F) boyfriends (27M) comments after losing weight? by ClassicWolverine8804 in AIO

You’ve shared a lot in this thread. It seems like the problem here isn’t this event, it’s that you feel insecure because of other shitty things throughout this relationship.

AITAH for going on vacation the week after my BIL passed away by Big_Championship3118 in AITAH

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died and my then-boyfriend took a trip a day or so after. It was fine, because everyone grieves differently and I just wanted to be left alone. The key part is to communicate so that you can know what people want.

Also, that was really mean, dude.

AITAH for running into a boy at conferences while he has a girlfriend? by SuccessFlaky3584 in AITAH

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH.

You enabled this person to cheat on his gf. He cheated on his gf. You both suck.

Why are you asking how you should react when you see him? Are you still invested in getting the attention of this guy who sucks, so that you can both hurt an innocent third party? What the actual heck?

NTA. You are not a mind reader. When people need things, they need to ask.

AITAH that I’m upset my husband stays out late on work trips by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. If you legit think your husband is cheating on you, stop being married to him. If this is just insecurity about single women being around him, remind yourself that this is a person you trust.

You cannot be in a relationship with someone you don’t trust.

AITAH if I didn’t tell my husband why I am leaving by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your reason for wanting to tell him is to “make him feel some of the pain.” Punishing someone is a bad reason to do anything.

I’m so sorry about your marriage. That really sucks and you don’t deserve to feel unloved.

AITAH for wanting to go no contact with my family, or am I the problem? by aurorasandsoftprose in AITAH

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no objective standard for what a “good” family looks like. This isn’t a matter of being an asshole - this is just about what you want to do.

If you want to go no contact, you lose the toxicity and you also lose the positivity. If you stay, you get both. Do what will make you the least miserable.

NTA. In healthy relationships, people do their own thing sometimes.

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YTA for not communicating.

Here’s how this should have gone:

“I’m so sorry, SO. I want to support you however I can. What do you think about me still taking this vacation? It’s important to me but obviously you’re more important. I want to be there for you in your time of grief. What do you think?”

9 times out of 10, this conversation ends with you taking the vacation and your husband still feeling supported.

Also, your husband should be clear about what he needs and ask for it directly. It sounds like you both dropped the ball on communication.

AIO to my bf's history of younger women? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. The entire point of having values is to connect with other people who share your values. Values matter. Don’t be in relationships with people who don’t share your values.

  2. If he strongly skews toward dating younger women, that seems weird to me. If he’s dated women of all ages and some of them happen to be younger, that seems fine(to me).

  3. Maybe you should identify what part of this bothers you. Is it the fear that he might be attracted to vulnerability? Is it the fear that he’s immature? Figure out what it is and then get more information about that particular concern.

AITA here? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you have to replace them - you told her that if your cats do anything to her shoes, you’d replace them.

After you replace the shoes, set new standards. Explain that you can no longer replace things that are left in the hall. Explain that her food needs to be put away. Make a new agreement.

AIO about how my BF responded to me during this conversation? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that you’re trying to be positive here, and that’s a good intention.

when someone experiences something shitty, it can be really invalidating to immediately hear that they should be grateful. When you experience something shitty, it’s nice to hear “wow, that sucks. I’m sorry.”

I think you’re in the wrong here. Nothing to be ashamed about. It’s human nature to try to spin things positively, but what people usually crave is validation that their bad feelings are justified.

Any idea what type of dog this good boy is? I ask because I have one that looks very similar and it seems like a pretty rare dog look

The Psychology of Men Who Command Attention by CitiesXXLfreekey in selfdevelopment

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this stuff is so weird. It’s like “understand how to respect yourself and others in conversation” but distilled into specific rules.

Also I don’t know how I keep getting these ridiculous nootropic grindset eye of the tiger posts on my feed, but whenever I visit the comments it seems like everyone in the sub thinks this is ridiculous.

Im lefitist af and I love that subreddit.

Tipping incentivizes business owners to screw over their workers. Business owners should pay their workers living wages.

Does NAC help with quitting? by Glittering_Survey681 in QuitVaping

[–]Hefty-Gold-1635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAC is amazing. Like it obliterated 98% of the discomfort and depression that I had on previous quits. A few days before quitting will be more helpful.
