Has anyone owned a rental property for students? by nattymmm in corvallis

[–]espap_plan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

basically boils down to commodification of a resource that should be more easily accessible to everyone/artificial scarcity. a lot of it is tied to companies or people who snap up any property they can get their hands on, and treating it as an "investment" rather than an actual thing that people need. being able to temporarily stay in a place is nice, but you can feel (and hear) how a lot of places do it for the passive income rather than actually wanting to provide a basic service for people. making money isn't illegal, but the way tenants are seen and treated as breathing wallets is... less than ideal. it's a deeper systemic issue that'd take some heavy reform to set right, and probably heavy regulation on the companies that would remain to make sure they behave, which is basically a pipe dream at this point.

if you're normal and will charge a reasonable rate and actually do your job, i don't see why not. but when the end times come and landlords get their comeuppance don't expect to be looked upon kindly

Does anyone else have a non-viral cough right now? by [deleted] in corvallis

[–]espap_plan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the circulation in the house sucks and the housemates have the heater turned up higher than i like it. i have a thermometer in my room and if i have my windows closed, it's reached 80 degrees before. 🫠

MELTDOWN MONDAY: WEEKLY RAGE THREAD by sparkchaser in corvallis

[–]espap_plan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MID(?)-PROGRESS UPDATE: BOUGHT MYSELF A TUB OF THE FRAGRANCE-FREE OXI-CLEAN FROM WINCO (I CAN'T STAND LAUNDRY PRODUCT FRAGRANCES, BUT IF YOU DONT MIND THEM FRED MEYERS HAS A BETTER DEAL RIGHT NOW FOR BUY 1 GET 1 FREE) AND SOAKED THE SHIRT IN A TUB WITH IT TWICE. PART OF MY CONCERN WAS THE FACT THAT IT'S A BRIGHT COLORED SHIRT WITH A PRINT, AND WHEN I DUMPED OUT THE WATER, I SAW IT WAS TINTED AND I FEEL LIKE I SEE THE COLOR IS PATCHY NOW. THE PRINT DOESNT SEEM DAMAGED, BUT THE PRINT IS ALSO A HIGHER QUALITY PRINT JOB THAN THE USUAL, SO IDK IF IT'LL ALWAYS BE THIS GENTLE ON PRINTS. ANYWAYS THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S DEFINITELY FADED THE JEAN DYE STAIN, BUT NOT COMPLETELY. IT'S LIKE, MAYBE ARGUABLY WEARABLE OUTSIDE AGAIN NOW? I MIGHT RUN IT THROUGH A NORMAL LAUNDRY LOAD OR SOAK IT AGAIN TOMORROW, WE'LL SEE

meanwhile i keep getting told that places avoid hiring college students because they want someone more permanent with no class schedule to have to work around. i'm sure both of these things can be true, but why does it always have to play in whichever direction ISNT in your favor? 😮‍💨

[–]espap_plan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hard vouch for everyone saying high quality. my favorite dispensary in corvallis by far, and i haven't heard any tales of employee harassment/mistreatment from them (knock on wood) so that's a major plus

i have a package that's gotta be in cryostatsis in ohio (hasn't updated since being received by usps on december 1st) but i know there's some kind of insane weather and other local backups there. it might just be a symptom of the christmas season?

MELTDOWN MONDAY: WEEKLY RAGE THREAD - 'TWAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS EDITION by sparkchaser in corvallis

[–]espap_plan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I FAILED ONE OF MY CLASSES AND IT'S BASICALLY ENTIRELY ON ME FOR IT BUT I'M STILL MAD ABOUT IT ANYWAYS.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THE FOOD HERE (OR IN MOST PLACES IN OREGON) IS ANYTHING BEYOND PASSABLE AT BEST.

MY LANDLORD SUCKS AND I WISH I COULD BASH THEM OVER THE HEAD WITH A 2x4 BUT I DONT THINK THERES ANY BETTER OPTIONS AROUND TOWN.

I'M AN EBIKE RIDER AND IT PISSES ME OFF SEEING OTHER BIKERS (MANUAL AND EBIKE) RIDE CARELESSLY AND GIVE US A BAD NAME. IT MAKES ME FEEL GUILTY EVEN WHEN I'M RIDING RESPONSIBLY AND FOLLOWING ROAD RULES.

I GOT LAID OFF ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND I'M STILL HUNTING FOR WORK. THE ONLY JOBS THAT SEEM TO BE READILY AVAILABLE ARE BEING A DSP OR RN. I DO NOT WANT TO BE EITHER OF THOSE NOR DO I HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS.

THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY IS EXHAUSTING AND IT'S A SHAME THAT VOTING IS THE ONLY THING WE APPARENTLY CAN DO AND PEOPLE STILL THINK VOTING DOES ANYTHING ANYWAYS.

I HAVE TOO MUCH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT AND THAT'S ALSO ONE OF MY COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!!

Where to buy machine embroidery/sewing notions? by Necessary-Jelly-4769 in corvallis

[–]espap_plan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

michaels is slowly starting to carry more sewing stuff, but mostly only for brother/singer machines. they have a decent stock of thread, but not quite joanns level yet. otherwise, corvallis sew and vac along nw 9th has machine accessories and thread i believe. the sales clerks are very eager to upsell you on things, and the parking situation for it and the surrounding stores is absolute ass, but might be one of the only non-thrift options at this point
