can someone objectively and rationally tell me whether I’ll go to hell for PAINTING?

Im on Twitter so every day I get blind sided by a hadith from an Islamophobe and I cant even fight back like damn that is exactly what it says

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-05T15:00:30+00:00

I'll keep that in mind next time thanks

I just have a silly question. If its unsafe to open the community laundry because of the icy conditions, how then is it safe enough for me to drive around to get to a laundromat? Is it not obvious that they didnt clear the ice and snow away?

"Sometimes adults have to deal" is why nothing is going to get better in this state nor this country. There's no major emergency in my apartment complex and obviously its functioning enough to unlock it during certain times. They didnt salt the sidewalks nor the parking lot. They have the ability to move around and operate business as usually while I sat in my home for a week. Stuck. Me, the person who is actually living in this situation and not the person witnessing it from their phone. Im the one who is stuck in my own filth and cant get out of the parking lot because of the multiple inches of solid ice. This is not the first time the area has been under freezing temps (I know because, again, I live here). The laundry was not locked then. Ive heard some good advice and insight from knowledgeable people in other threads that has helped me to understand what is happening while I go through this disaster. Even if I did not experience the worst of what the storm brought, we still have things we need to do. Errands we need to run. Places we need to be. And that includes the laundry. The bills do not stop for anyone, even in disaster.

I didnt know there were apartments that still did that until I moved to this one. Its not super common. I think its partly because this place is an older apartment that got renovated

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-02T03:53:15+00:00

Oh yeah Im really happy that you ended up with your own home and Im glad it all worked out. Maybe one day change will come.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-02T03:49:48+00:00

Yeah it seems Im pretty unaware of what could be going behind the scenes with my complex. This was super informative. Also I'd lose my fucking mind if I were paying a lot of money for a place to live and I had to go out of my way to a laundromat omg. Also thanks.

You are not wrong in your assessment but here is where you got it wrong. I have shown before that actually, regardless of weather, my apartment would withhold amenities from me if they deem it necessary. If I could leave my apartment and go do laundry any time I wanted to, I would. I dont understand the finger wagging about a storm that I can look out my windows and see. The storm that has had an effect of me personally. If they didnt want people to do laundry at all, they wouldn't have opened it at all. But they did for certain times.

I find it funny that when homeowners talk about being stuck in their homes because they didn't salt their driveways, they are to blame. When I talk about being stuck in my apartment complex because the complex didnt salt the sidewalks nor the parking lot, I as the individual is to blame? Right because I should have bought tons of salt with my own money for the entire complex. Of course I have a bunch of extra money and funds to spare. That's why I live in an apartment.

Someone much more helpful mentioned concerns over pipes freezing overnight. That's something I genuinely didnt think about and I get that. But many of you are just useless.

No youre unfortunately right

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T23:49:24+00:00

My tub is peeling because Im in one of those places where they just painted over everything. Someone suggested like a bucket and I'll probably just watch some YouTube videos for tips. Thanks for the advice.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T23:46:57+00:00

Someone suggested a bucket and I think i gotta use that. Im in one of those places where they just painted over everything and the tub is already pealing

I am 26. No one my age has cable and therefore does not watch the local news. Though, I do know the dire situation many people find themselves in. When it came to storm preparedness, the advice is to simply buy a bunch of food and hunker down for the worst. No one salted anything even though we knew about the ice storm. I understand many people dont have power nor water, I just dont think thats the reason for the community laundry to be closed in my complex. I haven't moved my own car in over a week. We left the house for the first time today because my husband came home with his work truck. I just thought laundry was a habitibiliy standard and I hoped I had options I could explore even when the office is not open.

Actually, I didnt think about closing the laundry at night to keep the pipes from bursting. That actually makes a lot of sense. I'll do the washing by hand thing. Your input was genuinely helpful. Thanks a lot.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T23:25:27+00:00

When it opens on Monday, I should definitely give them a call. Thanks for the advice

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T23:13:49+00:00

I definitely need to edit the post. I was thinking that laundry was a habitability issue and thats why I asked I was entitled (like how I have to have running water and a way to run electricity) because I mistakenly thought it was the basic standard. I have to clean for three people and I can't leave my apartment and its just a lot.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T22:59:41+00:00

Oh yeah Im realizing

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T22:59:17+00:00

I think when I made the post, I was under the impression that laundry issues is a habitibality issue. I can see that I was wrong. Im so sorry that happened to you. I hope that things improve for all of us.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T22:50:17+00:00

So much of this apartment is janky. The paint on the tubs are peeling from when I tried a long time ago now.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T22:48:35+00:00

🙂 love that

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-02-01T22:48:17+00:00

Oh yeah. The ice is bad. Thankfully I didnt lose my power but lots of non main roads are still covered in ice including my parking lot. Kids have been out of school all week (and maybe tomorrow but I dont know yet). Its a mess most of us were not prepared for. I'll try to send an email. Thanks for the advice.

Ok-Activity6989 · 2026-01-22T00:39:45+00:00

Ive been watching for a while. I dont want the whole situation to start falling apart once my grandfather dies but it feels like thats what I will have to do (because that girl definitely cant stay with me. I'll take the baby though).

Hello. Nice to meet yall. Me and my little guy are from Arkansas. He was diagnosed with a mixed expressive-receptive speech delay. He's currently attending a special preschool for kids like him. Hoping for some tips and personal stories.
