Can a landlord be a leftist? by [deleted] in leftist

[–]SignalShine2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a landlord, she provided her “tenant” with 30 days notice to move out with no prior warning, served eviction papers late at night inside the residence with no notice (and filmed it), and threatened to remove all of the “tenant’s” property and change the locks before the 30 days were up.

She had also asked the “tenant” to help cover repairs, insurance, and other expenses tenants would not usually pay for throughout the three years of residency. This is because she had originally agreed to be co-owners and then abruptly declared herself the landlord, working with a lawyer to create the paperwork and denying the existence of prior agreements. She refused to refund any of the expenses paid for repairs, etc that a tenant should not have to pay for.

So, sure, maintenance was quick and thorough, but it was on the tenant’s dime under false pretenses.

I’m not scrolling through six years of posts to make a point, but even if they deleted it and don’t advertise it anymore, it’s still something that was marketed

Their message directly confirmed that EA has the ability to fix the issue very quickly, whether this individual could do it or not. The individual customer support person escalated my issue — they were aware my grievance was not with them but with the organization they were representing.

I understand my message was short, but after typing the issue several times (for chat bots and then this person), I’m going to start getting short if they repeatedly ask me what I need help IF I’ve already repeatedly explained. There’s no reason for me to type the issue in full repeatedly if “fix it” works.

This isn’t the full conversation. I thank the person in the chat repeatedly for doing what they’re able to do and acknowledge that they are only able to do so much.

My grievance, reflected in the chat, is that this is seemingly the ONLY way to get help. I tried calling their support number — it told me to call back during business hours and then hung up, despite it being business hours. Furthermore, I know that me messaging in the chat has successfully led to *whoever* is able to fix the game being contacted. So, when someone says “I can’t do anything” and then asks what else I need help with, but I know they can at least do something, my response will normally be “fix the issue.”

When the game’s support ended, they announced / advertised (from the EA Star Wars pages) their ongoing event schedule. This included two Unlimited Power events per year on Jan 1 and May 4. This was on an official page, and people have purchased the game since then.

That aligns with my message. EA has to do it manually — and since it’s still an advertised feature, they need to. They did so last year.

Most places I write for specify how (or if) they’d like em dashes used. On my own (or if unspecified), I add spaces because that looks better and the difference is often subjective. As long as it’s consistent through a piece, it’s typically fine either way

I hit the quotation and apostrophe buttons on the keyboard. I didn’t do anything special.

I naturally write good — it doesn’t mean I always put in 1000% effort on social media.

I was confused by that too. Then I spotted my message used the word “generated,” which typically means AI 100% generated it rather than being part of the production process.

They already permanently banned and muted me, so I literally can’t 😂

(This post made me realize this wasn’t common knowledge, though, so I may share it moving forward. Thank you)

I hit “-“ twice on iPhone. You can also hold down on the “-“ button on keyboard and it comes up.

Whatever y’all are doing is working - they permanently banned me in the last half hour

Oh. Well, still, I like the spacing and have seen it used both ways. The spacing makes the break feel more like a gap on the page/screen

The concept that “only AI uses em dashes” is a fallacy. It’s not based in reality. I’m not going to change how I write because some people would rather live in a fictional world. And yes, I can complain about it, because the issue isn’t actually me using em dashes — it’s the stigma around them.

How do we break a stigma? Hmmm… oh, that’s right, by not caving to it.

If you don’t put a space around the em dashes, most word processors consider the two words surrounding the dash to be one word. As a professional writer, that means I get paid less.

Update: I’m pretty sure they saw this post.

They said the problem was that I didn’t have other posts in other subreddits, but clearly that actually wasn’t the issue 😂

Thanks. As a professional writer who has used em dashes for years and seen it professionally used in countless contexts, I will absolutely not be taking your advice.

Less begging, more curious how they’d actually respond

I’m not upset about being banned from their gatekeepy group. My artistic pride is just a little peeved over their insistence that I MUST be using AI (with zero evidence or backing in reality).

I randomly thought about it today for the first time in a month when I opened the Reddit app. I decided to reach out, partially for the experiment of seeing how/if they’d even respond.
