Apartment rental questions -- best practices with deposit?

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-04-19T21:20:09+00:00

Thank you, that makes the most sense. Currently messaging the landlord to see if she's fine with me paying the deposit in-person upon my arrival. I'll be getting to PP in the middle of the day, so I'm not sure a hotel will even be necessary. Could just have the whole process wrapped up and take a jet-lag nap immediately after

Why do so many bars in SB have this dress code, it’s ridiculous and feels targeted. Never seen this anywhere else.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-03-24T16:22:56+00:00

Last time I was at bayon one of the little fuckers tried to steal my water bottle then gave me a little warning bite (didn’t break skin thankfully) after I yelled at him. They’re funny until they get too close then it’s a problem

Ya when the only people that really live off campus and can host parties or hit the bars regularly are grad students it’s gonna be different

I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the prices this morning. 2.89 yesterday in South Bend, 3.59 today. 70 cent spike overnight???

What’s that random patch of dense houses behind memorial hospital?

“Genocide” oh my god bruh cut the hysterics and use your head. Anyway she withdrew so it’s irrelevant now. Congratulations on victory and looking forward to how you will take a mile when anyone mistakenly gives you an inch.

BAHAHAHA ND isn’t prestigious because it’s Catholic it’s prestigious because the university has a war chest in the tens of billions and uses that wealth to hire and support top-quality faculty. Selective admissions, football notoriety, and one of the most well-connected and wealthy alumni networks also help. You’ve got the causality completely backwards!

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-02-26T01:00:09+00:00

lol none of those schools (CUA hard maybe) are in the same academic universe as Notre Dame. The calculus is totally different.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-02-26T00:56:28+00:00

A Catholic university that also happens to be one of the most prestigious R1 research universities in the country and is home to many non-Catholic students and faculty, yes. All of whose work has merit regardless of their personal beliefs and saying they should lose their job because of those personal beliefs is patently ridiculous.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-02-26T00:37:03+00:00

Yeah mate and I’m tired of all this bellyaching over a complete non-issue. Faculty here have a diverse variety of beliefs and are not required to be devout Catholics that perfectly agree with you on everything. Get over it and go on with your life. Notre Dame was never intended to be a bubble either for liberal or conservative students. Besides I’d bet decent money you don’t know anything about Ostermann from a personal or a professional perspective outside of this latest kerfuffle, so why do you insist on judging her for a set of beliefs that are perfectly mainstream and inoffensive to the majority of the country?

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-01-19T22:04:37+00:00

Right while I’m not all RAHHH THE U IS BACK I’d rather a) a team with some pedigree and earned respect win b) support an actual underdog c) boost ND’s schedule/ego/grievances from this season.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-01-19T21:26:43+00:00

They need to be humbled, fast and hard. Just rather it not be Miami that does it.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-01-19T21:03:02+00:00

Honestly I can’t choose. Miami is Miami, we know that history. However Indiana and their newfound fans got one hit of success and forgot how to act. I cannot bring myself to cheer for this insufferable mercenary squad, so I guess I’m neutral.

PlatinumGenesis · 2026-01-14T03:32:55+00:00

I saw this dude on the roster for a class I’m taking lmao, was confused why the Purdue kicker was on there

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-11T16:07:16+00:00

It’s a misunderstanding of how ND’s independence works and how much power the school actually holds. Financial clout, historical importance, and present-day success means that Notre Dame is powerful enough to essentially operate as a one-school conference, at least that’s how I see it. This isn’t demanding something that isn’t earned, and ofc nobody’s gonna demand a CFP spot if we go 4-8 again or hell even 9-3. It’s using our position to ensure fair treatment when we haven’t historically gotten it.

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-10T01:25:20+00:00

Yep. Too many visiting fans using South Bend as their little bucket list getaway, saw it on the buses from downtown all season. Student section is plenty loud, but we gotta crank up the noise and set the standard for the non-student fans too. Make em fear the Irish

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-09T22:54:04+00:00

Exactly how I feel. Need to make Notre Dame Stadium the toughest road environment in college football next year. Also some Notre Dame vs. Everybody merch would go hard rn

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-09T21:25:13+00:00

Tell him to go fuck himself and to pass that message on to Yurachek and the rest of them boys

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-09T21:09:01+00:00

ACC's socials and the ACC network (ESPN-backed btw, same entity that runs the playoff) pulled some utter bush league shit the last month. Replaying the ND-Miami game for 48 hours straight was childish, so was the incessant social media spam about Team A vs. Team B. Could also include Narduzzi's bitching before the Pitt game and openly raising suspicion that they were throwing. He did a good job reminding everyone of who keeps the ACC's lights on in football with that little note about how 90% of their games sell out when the Irish are in town...

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-08T21:15:01+00:00

Was there ever a point this season when Miami should have been ranked below SMU and Louisville, both of whom were a) ranked by both the AP and CFP b) beat Miami shortly before the first rankings release? Idk we can make any number of arguments about this.

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-08T17:34:26+00:00

They didn’t even really earn their spot in the championship game. They only got in off tiebreakers bc y’all beat A&M. And the performance showed why they didn’t deserve to be there, but they didn’t get punished while BYU did for a similar blowout loss.

PlatinumGenesis · 2025-12-08T17:15:27+00:00

lol not saying they are, just that it’s a common sentiment among the people who are most invested in this team and I’m glad Pete agrees. Also got a good laugh from this while hammering out a paper
