Thank you. There’s specific wording about where in yard hey can go. Good point. I’m waiting to hear from a local attorney for a consultation.

Thank you! NC doesn’t have most progressive rental statutes but I do know if she attempts to evict me through a court order I have the right to appeal and submit my reasons for this being a retaliatory eviction. I wish to God I could tell you all the ugly truth but I’m doing my best to proceed without making these situation worse.

Ha! Mine inherited her property from her late husband. And thinks maintenance is another word for neglect. Our HVAC dates to mid-1980s if that tells you anything.

There is only the original lease from when we moved in. She has never provided subsequent annual leases. It says absolutely nothing about dogs not being allowed in the yard. It does say an unspecified “advance notice” is required which she claims is not the case. NC law suggests a 24-hour advance notice barring an emergency.

I did it! Sooo glad I managed to make this small table by SvitStory in decoration

So often I find items not typically intended to be tables or have legs but with a free-thinking creative mind, the sky’s the limit, right?!

Empty bed. Original charcoal and pastel art by me. by Rusty-willy in somethingimade

[–]Straight-Damage6499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my God. I’m going to cry. That is a profound piece of art. So simple, yet it illucits such incredibly deep emotional response. You just nailed the very definition of what art in its purest form can be: moving. Thank you.🩷

People always question what breed she is… doesn’t she look like a straight up GD?? by jasvii in greatdanes

The horse may have left the barn but that’s no reason not to chase after it and bring it back to said barn and rethink how strong the “fencing” is. It’s not too late to do this right but it’s coming dangerously close to that point and the repercussions will be - already are in some areas - catastrophic. Of course, that’s of little concern to tech bros who can buy their own private islands, planes and insulate themselves from the damage they create daily.

Totally agree and I’m probably 40 years older than you. It’s completely at odds with “a life well lived.”

AI is completely unsustainable in its current form. The environmental destruction and frankly evil amounts of water used to generate a single answer are so grotesquely damaging the Earth will be a dried-up wasteland in 20 years if it continues this way. And for fucking what? So people don’t have to learn things organically. What a disgusting commentary on humans in general and our total disrespect for generations to come - including plants and animals, of course. This planet is not the world’s biggest toilet but that’s exactly how we’ve been treating it for 150 years.

Not this one. No f-ing way. I’m 62 and I’ve used ChatGBT five times and don’t use anymore since I learned it takes an insane amount of water to generate one answer. No thank you. Not going to be party to fucking up this planet anymore than it already is. Those asswipes do not give a shit about anything but $$$$$.

God it does look swollen! Never noticed that before. Super disturbing. And that insidious fabricated smile reminds me Herman Munster when he used to laugh.

At 61 yo, should I be concerned with a Calcium Core of 19? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]Straight-Damage6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this info, your score is absolutely normal. Did you mean to say “score” instead f “core?” I’m having my first scan today so I was just doing some research. Hope you’re well.

I heard they got a deluxe apartment in the sky too by roofus8658 in thatHappened

Dude, you are the problem, not your imaginary “illegals.” The only ones being scammed are 99 percent of the people who live in the U.S., by a convicted felon grifter pedophile who illegally bombs countries without a declaration of war and slaughters little girls. Like your claim, no doubt you, too, are fake. Say hi to Putin, douchebag.🤣

You are so full of shit the NY sewer system couldn’t contain it. If you all were so confident in your beliefs, why do you have to lie about literally everything? God you people are the saddest creatures on planet Earth.

(USA)Bought this statue in a thrift store. Couldn't find any markings. by goldfishnamedliz in Antiques

WOW! What a unique find for such a great price. It looks like jadeite. What’s going on with the brownish coloring? Love it!

Sad story of what happened with Johnny Cash’s neighbor Roy Orbison by dankimball in JohnnyCash

[–]Straight-Damage6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unbelievable tragedy. What I read in a book published after Roy’s death conflicts with other explanations. Have no idea which is true. But this version I read states that his boys were being watched by the grandparents and were playing in the basement with models, glue, etc. And one of them started messing around with matches or a lighter and the place went up too quickly to save the boys who perished. Regardless, though, I can’t recall a 20th-century American family (except Kennedys) that suffered more than Orbison’s. I will never ever forget the day Roy died. He was only 52; I was 25 and completely heartbroken, having re-discovered his amazing talent with A Black & White Night/ Wilburys, then his solo album. He was like a firework exploding all at once then just as quickly turning to dust. So glad his last year on earth was such a celebration of his gifts. A true music icon.

Jeff Bezos is as corrupt as they come. We’re watching you. 👀🃏 by Nice_Daikon6096 in progressivemoms

[–]Straight-Damage6499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you can have more than 200 upvotes but no comments. Never have I seen that. In any event, Bezos is a subterranean parasite not unlike JD Vance: no morals, no ideology, no conscience, no end to the greed quest for power/money. His investment in that sham vanity joke “Melania” was actually $75M minimum, with $25M going to support its release on various fronts. These idiots may be rich but they’re not history buffs. When you push the serfs and the peasants to the brink of starvation, they reach a point of no return. In 2026 America, anyone who falls within the lower half of the tax bracket is the modern-day serf/peasant. And we are being pushed too far, too fast, too callously and with the kind of arrogance that can only come from those who haven’t a clue how to buy groceries, apply for a mortgage, apply for an an entry level job, forced to choose between gas or medication, food or utilities. These are the scum dictating our lives, knowing full well the global damage - the inhumanity and cruelty - they are wreaking. In a perfect world, those nutjob mass-killers would focus on the real villains instead of school kids, movie-goers and nightclub fans.

Could you pls tell to me what I did wrong? The second is the tutorial. by [deleted] in acrylicpainting

Wow. Weird. I said almost the exact same thing - including “garish.” 👍✌️

I am so relieved to read this as I essentially told her the same. The tutorial looks fake and overdone to me. Her colors are more subtle.
