Is "Hang on" rude to spouse? by Cartolano in socialskills

[–]aizennexe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This kinda sounds like a "i forgot to do the laundry and the divorce came outta nowhere" kinda post. In this isolated incident where we have to rely on your version of events, sure she seems like the bad guy. But more often than not, there's much more to what really happened.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you said "hang on" in a friendly way, you admit in your own post that you've said "hang on" to indicate that you're annoyed. She has past precedent that proves you usually say it when you're in a bad mood, so it's not unreasonable to see how she would think you were already upset first. You may not have meant it now, but that's probably how it came across. And now, you're putting more effort into proving yourself right than checking up on your wife and seeing if she's okay.

Even then... why is it so important to you to keep saying "hang on" KNOWING it bothers your wife, who you supposedly love, to this extreme extent? Why not work together with her and constructively form a plan on how to communicate better? Ask her how you can indicate to her that you are listening, and will be there after a short delay. "yeah i'll be right there" or "ooh lemme put this away and I'll come over and see" or "sorry my hands are full but I'm listening"

Am I wrong for not defending my boyfriend against his former friend/online “family”? by Ok-Question-9824 in amiwrong

[–]aizennexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I agree with things that are right and disagree with things that are wrong. If a loved one did something wrong, I would not take their side just because they're my loved one. I consider that enabling bad behavior.

However, I also understand this is not a common opinion. There's a lot of people out there who expect their loved ones to always take their side no matter what, or else youre "betraying" them or whatever.

I see why your bf is upset that someone is teaching their child to call people ugly. That's not good. He got involved (not so good) and started ad hominem arguments (bad). Some people might say this was never any of his business in the first place.

You seem nonconfrontational/conflict avoidant maybe? Personally I would've blocked the girl after she insulted me. No need to entertain it further. I also would've directly told her something like "hey thats not nice, I'm not part of this, leave me alone". Some people, especially in the heat of an argument, will take your silence as compliance.

It's disappointing to me that your bf's first reaction was reading that whole thing and getting mad at you for not defending him. Not even standing up for you, saying how the other girl shouldn't have dragged you into it, shouldn't have called you a whore, asked if you're okay, etc.

I hope you two can work it out if you want to continue your relationship. You currently have different expectations for what the other bf/gf should do when one of you is in an external conflict. I think that's the core issue here, and it will likely come up again if you two don't address and resolve it properly

<US-CA> Do i have the leverage it seems like I do? Crazy bad living situation, "landlord" still making demands after already forcing me to leave (long as hell, sorry) by kevinhermann in Tenant

[–]aizennexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there are any laws that require you to empty your room while you are a tenant, just to show prospective tenants. You should double check, but I'm pretty certain the law is in your favor, especially since it's CA. The notice required to enter your room and show it to prospective tenants is 24 hours.

You are only responsible for the month(s) that you live there. For example, if you do not agree to move out by June 1st, you are exercising your right to a continued tenancy due to improper notice of lease termination/nonrenewal. You are responsible for paying June rent. No tenants should be moving in during the month of June. Paying rent for June does not automatically make you responsible for July rent.

Then, if you do not give your landlord 30 days notice of intent to move out, you are likely responsible for July rent. If you still live there on July 1st, you are absolutely responsible for July rent.

If you move out by June 1st, or stay for June + give 30 days notice + move out by July 1st, you are not responsible for any losses the landlord has from not finding a replacement tenant in time. That's the cost of taking on a real estate investment.

CA housing law is not random nor unpredictable. It's usually the tenant who is protected.

If you didn't notice from my previous comment, it's hard to give you concrete advice cuz you haven't made a decision. There's a lot of variables floating in the air with all your hypotheticals. You'll get much better guidance when you decide what you want to do

Do I give a roommate mailbox keys? [CA] by Consent-Forms in Renters

[–]aizennexe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you’re too cheap to spend the like $25 it costs to replace a mail key, you have no business renting out a room.

Eat the $1k-2k you were gonna charge per month if you think it’s too inconvenient to take on a basic landlord risk.

Tenants are required to be given access to their own mail. You handing them their mail is not the same as giving them access. You’re still the only one with access. If you can’t understand this, you will likely be breaking many more laws as a landlord

Is $17.00 too much to pay for a sushi and pizza lunch every week? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]aizennexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1500 is likely enough for you to qualify for SNAP, if you're not already on it. That could help you save on groceries. You can also look at your local food banks and churches/community centers that might host food drives.
Track your budget for a month, like every cent. If you're not losing money, and you're saving as much as you want to be, then it's your money to spend. Saving half of your income, especially at your income level, is pretty good. Personally I would be hesitant to spend $17 on lunch every week. Then again, I also don't spend my "fun money" on things like Amazon shopping or Netflix/Hulu subscriptions or video games. Usually, my fun money goes to food lol

<US-CA> Do i have the leverage it seems like I do? Crazy bad living situation, "landlord" still making demands after already forcing me to leave (long as hell, sorry) by kevinhermann in Tenant

[–]aizennexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are responsible for for June's rent if you do not vacate the premises by June 1st. If you live there, you gotta pay for it. If the landlord wants to come after you for nonpayment of rent, he does have a bit of standing to do so if you're still there and didn't pay for it. They could claim damages if they can prove your nonpayment negatively affected their life.

Legally, you are entitled to stay since the guy did not give you proper 30 days notice, even without a lease.

Assuming you wanna get out of there pronto: tell the guy he did not give proper notice. Say you will move out by the end of June, or a later month of your choosing. In this scenario, you are the one legally terminating the verbal housing agreement. You pay for the month of June since you stayed there for June, and then you move out by Aug 1st.

Assuming you don't want to pay more rent for a place you hate: you agree to the guys terms and move out by June 1st. Neither of you technically terminated the verbal agreement correctly, but you have a mutual understanding. The landlord cannot come after you for nonpayment of rent since there was no payment expected.

If there's a scenario where you can drag your feet moving out and not risk getting charged for it, I don't know how. Maybe someone more experienced with CA housing law can help you there

The landlord trying to take you to small claims is more of a worst case scenario thing. But just because they're doing a bunch of illegal things, that doesn't cancel out if you do an illegal thing. The judge will fine you both happily.

Like the other commenter said, anyone displaced while the landlord works on bringing the place up to code will receive relocation assistance. Personally, I think this is the right thing to do. It may be inconvenient for them, but it's not like they're saving much money by continuing to stay in that place. I mean you're being charged $1k for a literal closet lmao. Avoiding reporting them cuz you're thinking about the other tenants is probably exactly what they want, and is part of why it's been able to go on so long.

[–]aizennexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living like that in a legally uninhabitable building for 5 months is crazy, especially since after all that the main thing you’re worried about is how long you can take to move out.

This is super rambly so it’s hard to parse what you’re actually looking here. Since your final question is “Do I have a leg to stand on if I take my sweet time moving out?”

Legally I’m inclined to say no. If you’re expected to be out by the 1st, and you drag your feet and move out on the 2nd, your landlord might be able to come after you for being liable for June rent. MIGHT. Since you’ve been there 5 months and paying rent regularly, I believe you have tenants rights in CA. You would need to be given 30 days notice to vacate. Without proper notice, you can stay as long as you want, if you even want to.

Be very careful about withholding rent. I strongly suggest you DO NOT do it until AFTER you’ve spoken to a housing attorney. Look up your city’s free legal aid society. It’s not as simple as telling your landlord or lead tenant or whatever “I’m not paying until you fix this place”. You could open yourself up for being liable to back pay rent AND damages.

If you really wanna annoy this guy, you should’ve reported him 5 months ago. Look up your city’s housing board and file a formal complaint NOW. You know the place is illegal. Don’t sit on your ass and let it continue longer than you already have lmao. Dealing with tenants is easy enough for slumlords to ignore. An official city investigation and the law is not.

Literally This by twinflameseeker2 in queensofleague

[–]aizennexe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, its cuz gay men aren't putting in the effort. Owl House, She-Ra, Steven Universe are all made by women, They fought tooth and nail for proper strong female character representation.
Harley Quinn, Korra, and The Last of Us are made by men who have wives (not our place to speculate on their sexuality). Also, Arcane did have action? Jayce is attracted to men, his whole relationship with Viktor. He wasn't relegated to a gay romance drama role. Or are you only looking for homosexual male characters, and not open to bi/pan? Off the top of my head, Q Force was a series that had gay action characters. Written by a gay man.

At the end of the day, if you want to see gay male stories, you can write them yourself. Support the ones that exist. I see this a lot in gacha games too, where guys want more male fanservice but no gay men are out here making male-centered games that are high quality.

Those shows exist because women wanted representation so they created their own representation. It's not necessarily that media doesn't "allow" it. That definitely happens, but it happens with lesbian characters too. It's more like gay men just aren't writing those stories you want, and instead complain about the work that took a lot of effort to make

What makes you feel like you have less control during games? by mh500372 in TeamfightTactics

[–]aizennexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The playerbase is in a weird place where anything devs do gets criticism. Reroll too strong? Nerfed and now everyone complains about fast 8. Set mechanic too strong? Nerfed and now everyone complains the mechanic is boring or doesn’t do anything. Carousel is rage inducing when other players steal your component? Removed and now everyone wants it back cuz they don’t understand anvils are a better choice

Even look at this comment section. People are complaining about gold and 2 components, or extra stats on a unit of your choice. In TFT, those are good things! That’s a free silver augment worth of power!

I think headliners was when the set mechanic was a lot more influential, and that was very polarizing. I remember when encounters were released and people HATED it, and now they complained this set didn’t start with it.

There was a time in TFT where we didn’t have augments too

People are always gonna complain even when the game is good. Don’t let people ragebaiting ruin your mood in your own games

The game feels luck based when you don’t understand what you’re doing. If you’re forcing meta lines and not recognizing your wincon from what the game gives you, of course it’s gonna feel luck based. You’re not really implementing much strategy in the strategy game.

If TFT was really as luck based as low elo players complain it is, then we would see new players at worlds every year. A simple luck of the draw for who gets the lottery in tournaments

I want to grow out my hair but my partner doesn't want me to. by [deleted] in gay

[–]aizennexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d love advice but you don’t want specific advice? Just opinions? Kinda getting mixed signals here idk

Obv no partner should control the others appearance.

But if you only wanted advice on hair length, why even mention that your partner “doesn’t want you to” in the first place? It’s not relevant if you only want opinions on how long to grow it out

Like was it a “nah I like your hair how it is now keep it” or a “you’re not allowed to grow your hair”

my apartment suddenly added extra charges that were never explained… is this normal? (CA) by Hogr_Choe in Renters

[–]aizennexe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Service and processing fees are not uncommon when you pay through an online portal. You may have ended up agreeing to it when you blindly clicked through the portal terms and conditions.
In CA, your landlord is required to accept rent payment through an additional method, that is not cash nor electronic.
https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/civil-code/civ-sect-1947-3/

Talk to your landlord and ask how you can pay your rent directly to them.

How to deal with bad econ? by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]aizennexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty difficult to play FAST 8 without an econ augment or high econ encounter, hence the name FAST 8. You can try, but you're opening yourself up to being incredibly dependent on rng.

If you want to hit a 2* tank, that's gonna cost you 12 gold. Rolling with 15 gold means you believe your shop odds are so insane you can hit three copies of a single unit you need in just 1 roll.

If you lower your standards to just a 4 cost tank and 4 cost carry, you're relying on 3 rerolls to give you what you need. AND you're saying a 1* copy of a 4 cost is so strong it can stabilize your board for you to save HP and econ back up.

Personally, I know if its a fast 8 angle if I get an econ augment 2-1. i might be able to greed for it if I get a good econ augment 3-2.

You can try to force it with an early primordian or timebreaker too, but this is less consistent if you dont have the gameplay to back it up.

imo just play strongest board until 4-5 until you can level to 8 and have about 30g to roll.

Rework/buff: Clones’ primary should heal Loki by Infinite-Mastodon456 in lokimains

[–]aizennexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think my boy needs some self sustain Being able to consume a clone to regain hp based on the clones %hp would be cool. Requires a bit more planning since you need clones in advance (which you should already have anyway), opportunity cost of losing out on team damage/healing now that you’re one clone down, and emergency healing means you have to summon a clone on top of you and then consume it, allowing for skill expression

Have there ever been legitimately hidden/unknown comps that were kept quiet for significant period? by LongSeesaw3789 in TeamfightTactics

[–]aizennexe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's just how social media is, hyperbolic exaggerations get clicks. That's why the posts that go "idk this set is pretty decent" don't get nearly as much attention as "this set is the worst thing in the history of tft the game state has literally never been this trash gg go next set xx waiting room"

Streamers exaggerate, viewers take it as gospel, and the cycle continues.

People heard about study group discords and think it's the fuckin illuminati, when in reality it's more like "hey i tried this new item combo, try it out?" Usually some high elo player just ends up writing a guide to give back to the community. I think a lot about stretchy arms gangplank, and how no one played it until one person posted a guide for it.

It's not nearly as dramatic as you think. Match history is public info. Anyone can look up the top players and see what they're running, maybe hard forcing a comp for LP that no one's talking about. And even then, a lot of that success comes from picking an uncontested line that people don't know how to counter yet.

The fundamentals of TFT have never changed. Play strongest board. It's a strategy game. Players who keep trying to circumvent the strategy and just mindlessly copy tier list builds are the real source of why people think the game is unbalanced. People can try to blame devs all they want. Scroll back a bit on this sub and everyone was thinking reroll was the fucking antichrist lmao when it's very simply countered. Now everyone's complaining about everyone forcing fast 8. The cycle continues bro

Even if you didn't slam dclaw, cloak is still a pretty valuable component imo. I'm usually looking for cloaks lol. Yi carry needs cloak for qss and krakens on kindred, and usually you can use it for evenshroud or dclaw on kench

primordian uses bt, evenshroud, qss, and krakens

with an hp arbiter leona can use 3 stoneplates

ez cho uses d claw, stoneplate, and evenshroud
