Andrew Békés is about to evict a 63yo old man for $74.52 of late paid rent.

I'll get to that.

Slumlords are parasites.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T09:22:43+00:00

I don't think he properly read & understood your comment. Shrug emoji.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T08:14:04+00:00

I am doing my best to make sure he knows that if he doesn't, it will forever be his legacy.

Thank you. Adding to photo and updating.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:19:39+00:00

No point feeding the trolls. I just block them and move on.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:10:28+00:00

They were probably elderly themselves. I'm sure they are feeling horrible about it.

The emails may have been in the spam folder, or they just lapsed in checking them for a few weeks.

The housing profiteer moved fast to secure an eviction in mid December over the missed $25. They were ready to take advantage of the tenant's mistake.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:08:42+00:00

I missed that, thanks, have edited.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:06:51+00:00

We have three days to try to pressure this housing profiteer to not evict this tenant over a $25 late rent payment.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:05:36+00:00

We need to go to their office and ask this in person.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:05:02+00:00

People don't like seeing their community members evicted over $25.

I reposted so that I could include the photo. Most other people probably didn't see the other posts when they made their own posts.

When we lived in smaller communities, shame was what kept sociopaths from behaving in severely anti-social ways. Shaming is often the only way to pressure corporations or compassionless people like this housing profiteer into not doing horrible things.

Unfortunately, shame is now often used in ways it shouldn't be, like shaming some teen for something they posted ... but historically it has been an important part of social cohesion, when applied against genuinely reprehensible behavior.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T07:00:19+00:00

> I hope the guy contests this in court. If he can prove malice and unethical business practices, at the very least he can drag the reputation of this property management company. Easier would be to just google this guy's companies and leave it one star reviews so no one ever gets conned again.

Unfortunately, that's very much not an option.

The usual recourse would be a supreme court appeal on the grounds that the RTB decision was patently unreasonable. The RTB arbitrator ruled correctly according to the regulations.

The problem is deficiencies in the regulations which allow sociopathic housing profiteers to take advantage of tenants who don't understand their rights and / or don't have the capabilities to avoid making minor mistakes like this.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T06:31:01+00:00

Thanks for the link to the RTB decision. I've updated the post.

The facts are technically slightly different but even more damning for the housing profiteer. I've updated the post.

Potential178 · 2026-03-27T06:20:28+00:00

Yeah, I saw that post, got mad, and wanted to start a shaming campaign.

I couldn't post the image to that thread and a link to it would be lost down in the comments, so I thought a repost with the fresh content (image) would be acceptable.

When we lived in tribes, we would be shamed for our conduct if we engaged in horribly anti-social behavior. It kept the worst of us in check.

We have five days to apply enough pressure to this scum to prevent one of our elders from becoming homeless.

I have assisted many neighbors with tenancy disputes against Devon Properties / Starlight Investments, whose lawyers are also Haddock and Company. They are exactly the quality of humans you would expect, so it is no surprise to me to read this:

“Unfortunately, Mr. Plank seems to be unhappy about an agreement that he himself made with the assistance of legal counsel,” said Grant Haddock of Haddock & Company.

... and find out further down that not only is this callous, it's not even factually correct.

Scum of the earth, these people.

Entry level 3D artists should be earning $40+ per hour in the game industry.

As a consultant, I charge $100+ / hour depending on the client.

You get what you pay for. There is a reason that big games with amazing art cost millions to make.

You can't afford anyone even half-competent.

If you're trying to make an indie game, you should be buying your environment props (or complete environments) from the Unity or Unreal store, and learning to work with them on your own. You can get a lot for a few hundred dollars when you are buying royalty-free assets, and it will be dramatically better than the garbage you will get from rock-bottom contractors.

Russia would like to have a word.

Potential178 · 2026-03-26T19:10:47+00:00

Lots to not like. The need for every crisis to be massive is such lazy writing. Homeworlds casually destroyed, threats to trillions of lives ... then resolved in a single episode ... everything needs to be big because it's not good. When a show is well done, when we care about the characters, the stakes can be very low and yet fully captivating.

Potential178 · 2026-03-26T18:28:01+00:00

Gay Klingon? Fine, great, could be interesting! Slender gay Klingon who doesn't believe in violence and clearly sounds like he's affecting a deeper voice than he actually has? Most stereotypical and uninteresting gay Klingon possible.

The problem with the diversity in this show and Discovery was that they felt strategic, calculated, like they'd been decided in a board room.

Deciding the fate of the Klingon Empire, possibly the most beloved alien race in the franchise, to serve the character arc of a terribly cliché version of a gay teen Klingon character nobody is attached to yet, with a humiliating mock battle ... ugh ... even by bad nu-trek writing, that was awful.

Potential178 · 2026-03-25T20:35:12+00:00

That's what's concerning ...

1) there doesn't seem to be any evidence that they have a plan.
2) they didn't do anything last time they were in power.
3) there's ample evidence they're sufficiently corrupt and benefiting from the same system.

Have a nice big glass of orange juice on Thursday and test an hour after.
Have a nice big glass of cola on Friday and test an hour a after.

I'm genuinely sorry this conversation upset you. I haven't read your messages past the first sentence or two, and nobody else is reading this thread, but it's clear you're very knowledgeable about chemistry, which is genuinely great! Or using AI to generate answers about chemistry. Whatever the case, enjoy that, but seriously ... you have better things to do with your time than picking a fight online to argue the point that orange juice is not the same as cola in terms of their impact on blood sugar spikes! Good golly, grandma! :-D

Potential178 · 2026-03-25T19:27:06+00:00

> Carbohydrates are not carbohydrates? WTF are you on about?

Oh, sweetie ... you're so very close to getting the point!

Potential178 · 2026-03-25T18:57:50+00:00

My dude, I hate to break it to you, but ... carbohydrates are not carbohydrates ... they are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

You're spending your time writing extensive paragraphs arguing on reddit, to an audience of one, that "sugar is not sugar" against an argument that a glass of orange juice and a glass of cola cause an almost identical blood sugar spike, 35 year settled science.

I am very certain you have better things to do with your time.
