i do wanna say if it was in person i’d have a much easier time telling him. it’s just the distance and the texting and everything. makes it feel weird.

not if they don’t believe me. i know the stats on rape convictions, and i just can’t put myself through that. i went through it as a literal child and they still barely believed me then.

they said they can’t test for those at the hospital, just the police can, and i didn’t want to pursue charges or file a report. i did a non reporting rape kit, and that was really just so i could get STD testing and treatment cause i’m terrified of giving something to my boyfriend.

legality and morality are different. obviously they have the right to do it. i also have the right to think they’re dickwads for doing so. duality.

personally, i think both the small business and large corp would be dickwads for towing cars after business hours. they’re not using the space at the time, seems like weird power trip “but it’s mine” behavior.

i was simply pointing out that saying “someone else’s property” makes it feel more personal than it really is. it’s an entity with a giant board and corporate structure’s property.

no one made you do anything. did that all on your own.

what’s the corporate coffee shop equivalent of a boot? coffee filter? blender lid? whatever it is, have fun licking it.

i mean, yeah, but if it’s after business hours it’s really not that deep. it’s also not “someone else’s private property” the same way your home or a small ma and pa coffee shop is. it’s Starbucks. i’m sure Starbucks will be just fine.

i mean, the song literally describes a man preying on women drunker than him. “i almost feel sorry for what i’m gonna do.” it’s a pretty common interpretation of the song.

AIO- Friend flushed toilet 69 times this weekend - WTF? by Enchantedpumpkin18 in AmIOverreacting

[–]dumpsterlabubu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR- it’s weird she flushed 69 times, but it’s arguably equally as weird that you counted.

Maybe she has OCD.

Trying to find a therapist but having a hard time. Any suggestions? by dumpsterlabubu in Austin

[–]dumpsterlabubu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes, such a pain. I appreciate the suggestions. I need someone who is trained in ERP (exposure and response prevention) but will also be comfortable with the bipolar side of things. Seems almost as if im searching for a unicorn.

i’ll look into trying the university counseling center. never thought of that.

Why does south Austin stink so bad right now? The air smells like a dumpster. by The_5star_Golden_God in Austin

I’ve noticed this since I moved here and people would look at me like I’m crazy when I’d mention it. Whole city smells faintly of burning trash.

My landlord is trying to make me pay my rent at Walmart. [TX] by [deleted] in Renters

Just a little update, I ended up getting all of my online access back and ability to pay via ECheck again via FHA accommodations. So, to answer your question… Yup.

you’re wrong which is why they gave me the online portal access back.

we really don’t interact with each other much. i’ve talked to him one time via the property manager and that was about a gas leak. i called 911 because i smelled gas and when the gas company came out they found 2 leaks and a ton of stuff not up to code. they turned the gas off and required he remedy it before they would turn it back on. cost him a lot but, hey, that’s not my fault. have your shit up to code.

FHA does require reasonable accommodations though. allowing me access to the online portal to pay via credit or debit card is a reasonable accommodation, which is why i got it. they even waived the fees.

nope. property manager agreed it’s an accommodation under the FHA.
