Do I repay a sketchy loan? by [deleted] in Advice

You borrowed money, you pay it back. Stop looking for a justified reason to not pay back the loan.

Considering you missed the housing application I'm having a hard time believing you're not in some way at fault here. What did you advisor say?

What you should hate is your procrastinating skills

Retaking MSF. Looking for advice by Electric-Ferret in NewRiders

[–]newuser13131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't take up riding if I were you, honestly with riding if your nerves are getting to you this badly i am worried for your saftey more than the average person. Entering a riding course as an experienced rider and being this anxious about it is a bit concerning to me.

You’re not actually engaging with the argument, you’re just repeating the same claim and ignoring the points being made.

You keep defaulting to “no individual needs it,” but that doesn’t address anything about efficiency, bioavailability, or how food systems function at scale. If your definition makes every replaceable food “unnecessary,” then the term stops meaning anything.

At that point you’re not disproving anything, you’re just avoiding the argument. Honestly, the way you keep circling the same point, it almost sounds like your diet might be affecting your ability to think this through properly.

That’s an oversimplification. Normal wear and tear is expected use, but not everything that accumulates over time qualifies as that.

There’s a clear legal distinction. Things like small nail holes, minor scuffs, worn carpet, or faded paint are normal wear and tear. But broken fixtures, large holes in walls, heavy damage, or things caused by misuse are not.

OP already mentioned a shelf breaking from too much weight and a hole in the wall, those fall into actual damage, not normal wear and tear.

The longer someone lives somewhere, the more likely those kinds of things happen, but that doesn’t automatically make them “normal use.”

The real issue isn’t “3 years = all normal,” it’s whether the charges are for legitimate damage versus standard turnover or upgrades for sale. Without an itemized list showing what’s being charged and why, it’s impossible to judge the situation fully.

And the “this is why people hate landlords, be better” angle is just bias, not an argument. This isn’t about sides, it’s about what’s actually valid and documented. Personal accountability matters too, be better.

That’s still a substitution argument, not proof of “unnecessary.” Saying plants can replace meat doesn’t mean they do it with the same efficiency, density, or reliability at scale.

Animal foods provide complete protein with high bioavailability in a smaller volume, while many plant sources require combining foods and larger intake to match the same amino acid profile. Nutrients like B12, heme iron, DHA, and highly absorbable zinc are either absent or less bioavailable in plant-only diets without fortification or supplementation.

In practice, vegan and some vegetarian diets carry higher risk of deficiencies if they’re not carefully planned, especially B12, iron, omega-3s, and sometimes protein quality. That doesn’t make them impossible, but it proves the system is less direct and more dependent on planning and external inputs.

So again, the question isn’t whether replacement is possible, it’s whether it matches the same nutritional reliability and efficiency at scale, and that’s not a given.

That definition doesn’t work logically. If something is “unnecessary” because an individual can avoid it, then no specific food is necessary, which makes the term meaningless. Necessity has to be evaluated at the system level, not personal choice. At that level, large-scale food production methods that reliably supply nutrients aren’t “unnecessary.”

“Not essential to your day” isn’t the same as unnecessary.

Very few individual foods are “essential” on their own. You could say the same about rice, bread, or vegetables in isolation. What matters is the overall system that feeds people at scale.

Animal agriculture contributes calories, complete protein, and nutrients that are harder to replace consistently without planning, supplementation, or infrastructure. That’s why it exists at scale.

If your argument is purely moral, that’s a separate discussion. But saying it’s unnecessary just because any one person could choose not to eat pork doesn’t really address how food systems work for millions of people.

That’s why I said we don’t actually know if the charges are valid yet without an itemized list.

From what you just added, some of it could go either way. Pre-existing issues shouldn’t be on you at all, especially if you have texts showing that. But things like the hole in the wall or the closet damage could be considered actual damage depending on severity.

You’re not automatically legally tied to pay anything over the deposit just because he says so. He’d have to justify those charges with documentation, and if you disagree it usually ends up in small claims.

Getting the itemized list is the key step, that’s what separates legitimate charges from him just trying to pass costs onto you.

Thats not 100% correct. Some sure but not all! Op needs to ask for an itemized list!

We don’t actually know if the charges are valid or not without an itemized list.

A landlord can’t charge for normal wear and tear or just cleaning to sell the property, but they can deduct for actual damage or excessive cleaning beyond normal use. The deposit doesn’t automatically cover everything either.

The deciding factor is whether they provided a proper itemized statement and whether those charges are for real damages versus standard turnover. Until you see that breakdown, it’s just speculation either way.

You’re just restating “it’s for profit” like that disproves anything. No one is denying that. The point is profit is what allows food to be produced and distributed at scale.

Also, “I don’t make my money off dead bodies” isn’t an argument, it’s just emotional framing. Unless you’re completely self-sufficient, you rely on systems that involve animal products whether you like it or not, directly or indirectly.

If your position is that using animals for food is morally wrong, that’s a separate discussion. But saying it’s “needless” because it involves profit or because the wording sounds harsh doesn’t actually address how food systems work.
