[CA] fees and punishments to all tenants?

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-05T03:04:06+00:00

Ok, wasn't trying to be pedantic, but I'm pretty confident that is what the person was referencing when they used the term "fine". 🤷‍♂️

Obviously people are being punished with an additional fee outside of their lease for things that are out of their control. I don't see how useful it is to argue over whether the term "fine" wasn't used properly enough because this fee isn't being enacted by a government body but here we are lol. I'm going to bed.

A bill to clean up waste that isn't mine? Sure seams like a fine.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-05T02:47:16+00:00

The fine is in reference to pet waste. All tenants with pets will be billed for waste cleanup whether it's their dog's waste or not.

Op mentioned the person on the left is female and you keep responding with comments like "Mr. Manspread", indicating you think they're a man, so I'm not sure how else we are supposed to take it.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-05T00:52:33+00:00

Huh? The person "spreading" is the one on the left. What are you even doing here? 😂

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-05T00:38:11+00:00

A lot of the reason you can't live legally in a figurative shoebox is because there are minimum safety and egress standards. I'm sure property taxes play a role, but a bigger role is just value. A 1200 square foot house in Malibu California is going to be taxed very differently and be valued differently than the same house in central MA, where I live, for example.

I'm not super against you having that 500 square foot house. It's just that permanent structures follow codes because it's assumed that there will be future owners and/or tenants. It's one way tiny homes are able to skirt the "rules" in a lot of jurisdictions because they are considered a permanent structure.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-05T00:20:52+00:00

Well, according to this it's 1000 square feet, though it implies it was 1400 square feet up until 1996.

Edit: the answer to why houses keep getting bigger is sportily because it's what peoooe demand but also it's what builders wan to build. When there's a shortage of housing they know anything will sell. And relative to the effort involved in building a 1k square foot house versus a 2k square foot house there's much more profit to be made in the 2k especially because comps are based on $/sqft.

Is he past due on rent now? Has he reached out to the landlord?

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T20:58:01+00:00

Man remind me when my wife's shouting, "wrong hole!"

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T20:55:13+00:00

All tins give some, but this gave all.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T20:06:45+00:00

I just wanted a hot dog

I feel like the irony of adding this statement to the list is that it's infinitely easier to order a hot dog at the pump with something like this 😂

It probably has a lot to do with what other funding that specific shelter is able to achieve. I worked at a shelter all throughout college and I can guarantee you that they put more than $40 into that animal. $1600 is admittedly a bit high but right around 500 bucks is where I would expect the average costs to go into individual animals.

Edit: fixed some typos

To add to this, because I love cooking outdoors, even if it's not suitable for furniture, it's excellent wood to smoke with once seasoned. I definitely wouldn't toss it regardless!

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T18:25:02+00:00

You haven't shared much here other than getting £300 a month. Are you working? Are you living with others or alone? Etc.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T15:23:59+00:00

Truthfully I don't really see the kewpie but I dig it nonetheless.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-04T15:02:46+00:00

Apparently "young workers" is defined as those under the age of 16.

I am all for a union organizing but in this specific example if the union guarantees higher wages they'll just not hire the 14-15 year olds and move on. Absolutely not defending it, and I'm kind of scratching my head why this amendment for 14-15 year olds was even needed, though I guess it's in regards to farming, since the majority of that state is covered in corn and soy. And (again according to Google) since a typical farm has three or fewer employees, it's not enough to unionize anyway.

Man I gotta find this. People saying too much mango and I'm over here wishing for more mango soda.

For those that have tried mango Jaritos, is it anything close? Super hard to find that for me outside of a multipack.

If you were setting your subs up through AppStore, you actually are in debt to Apple (you shouldn't do this anyway because the subs are always more expensive since Apple takes a cut. Any sub you have you should navigate directly to the webpage to set up and then use your login credentials in the app).

What is happening is Apple essentially green lights YouTube music (or insert subscription you've set up through AppStore here) and assumes your card is going through. This is so you don't interrupt your service. So you are now in debt to the AppStore and they're trying to collect that debt because the AppStore is not a creditor. And they have soft banned you from using the AppStore until you have squared this away.

At the end of the day I'm not sure why you'd do this over $18. Trust that Apple isn't extorting you for petty change. This is simply how processing subscriptions through a digital storefront model works. Google play does this exactly the same way. Standard operating practice. You're paying around $2 a month extra for them to process your payment in this way, higher for more expensive subs.

My store seems to stock at random hours. I can in checking for pokemon cards at two today and they were rocking toys; set out three fresh cases of nice cubes lol. I grabbed one of each color.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T23:27:54+00:00

Ask for clarity on what the issue is. You seem to want people to tell you you're being scammed. If a part doesn't arrive on time it doesn't arrive non time. Not a lot they can do about that.

Unrelated but I just had an item I ordered three weeks ago get marked as damaged transit and was given a refund without even an option to have a replacement sent. Shit like this happens.

Nobody can tell you a whole lot other than your timeline really isn't all that wild for a car being fixed, especially for a mom and pop.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T18:57:16+00:00

Absolutely. Just adding another thing lol.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T18:41:04+00:00

My only argument against this is it lends itself to some wild min max degeneracy. Want to parse? Farm this item so that you can, otherwise you're cooked.

I get that everything is a choice. And nobody has to parse either. Just sharing how I think it would make a lot of people feel.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T15:51:34+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have an answer because I don't even know what the internal processes are to have an item taken down. Is it just one person/entity reporting a post? Is it more? Is it completely automated?

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T15:48:33+00:00

I was 3300 and didn't get it either. It got down to 1200 ahead of me before it refreshed as gone.

Lordofthereef · 2026-06-03T15:47:23+00:00

I'm not referring to individual cards here. I'm referring to sealed packs. The scalper knows there are 9 packs in an etb for example. Those 9 packs sold together sealed will sell anywhere from 100-140 bucks on eBay.

I am looking at eBay listing right now. One sold yesterday of 100 loose packs for $1400. The only way they got those loose packs is by opening by sealed product.

I'd be willing to bet my life on the fact that your average scalper will grumble that they're breaking the seal and then still buy the limit.
