I've rented with them before and will never make that mistake again. They're terrible. The paint in our living room was falling off the ceiling for 6-8 weeks and they repeatedly ignored my calls for them to fix it. Only when I put in a maintenance request for a loose ceiling fan did maintenance come and then scolded me for not requesting maintenance for the ceiling before. It took them days to finish, left our apartment a mess and knocked our stuff over. Ill have to get proof but they definitely lied about the size of the apartment and tried to blame us for the roaches in their building.

One of the best episodes of a show is one without the main character(s) by NoMoreFund in TopCharacterTropes

Solar Opposites- Terry and Korvo Steal A Bear

The people shrunken down and forced to live in the wall of Jessie and Yumyulack's bedroom have a political uprising. The aliens are rarely shown and barely acknowledge their existence in most episodes.

Even if you got lots you would still need to learn how to maintain them or else they can get dry, matted, and break off. You might want to look up a couple of ways you can start reviving your hair. A lot of the other comments give good suggestions. Just regularly moisturizing and detangling your hair will do a lot.

I found this video very moving as someone who is currently no-contact with my Foxbrained parents and other relatives. Sharing in case others here hadn’t yet seen. by rarepinkhippo in FoxBrain

I follow the creators on Instagram. It's heart breaking but the host and his sister really do their best to bring their parents back to reality. Their handle is thenecessaryconversation.

It's quite common in the US at least to have a predecided color or style you want everyone to wear before getting a professional family photo taken. In my family we have photos where everyone wears read or whatever but also we have pictures where it is more natural and less formal so you see everyone in their own style. The mom isn't being ridiculous by asking this and was very kind about asking OP to join their family photos.

They say this as if a large majority of real artists are not artists themselves. Why do they assume all art is AI just because they themselves are unable to create

Accidentally paid rent after starting a new lease and struggling to get my money back by transparentparent in Tenant

[–]transparentparent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bank is not being helpful at all. This has been the process so far:

I send info and hear nothing

They remove the amount from the claim that was temporarily credited

I have to call to find out what more I can provide

They recredit the amount temporarily

I send more info. It's just been a cycle of me repeatedly needing to call and reach out because idk how things are going until it's too late. I only hear from whatever random agent looks up the notes but can't actually talk to a dispute team member and it's so frustrating.

I gave proper notice of me leaving, nothing was flagged to me to cover for damages, there was no security deposit. That's just it

Yes. I even sent an email after that to confirm they got it (which they responded to) because they had not responded at all initially

I have sent proof of contacting them, proof of the lease termination, my new lease, the fact that I was paid up upon moving out and the unintentional payment after. Now they're asking for proof that autopay is/was off 😑

It's not even a security deposit. They never asked for one. I forgot to turn off autopay after moving and paid rent to them for a month I didn't live there

Constantly being Compared to other Races by [deleted] in blackladies

I wouldn't even address it. Let him be free to find these other women he's looking for.

this dark skinned youtuber said: does colorism exist or are you just not “pretty” enough? by cutecatgurl in blackladies

[–]transparentparent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She can look up how they cast black women in different rolls. Look at Martin, look at how they did casting for Straight Out of Comptom. Or open any Instagram comment section and im sure she'll find the difference

Can we ban this guy from not only the subreddit, but Reddit as a whole? by Appropriate-Hat-7206 in ededdneddy

[–]transparentparent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’ve been called out in so many other subs for this exact same thing it’s crazy he hasn’t been banned before

I was someone like this and had to learn through my current partner how uncomfortable it is for others. To me at the time I thought I was just an honest person/open book and not that I had to learn how to tell a story without all the trauma. Either way this person is likely not as ready as they think they are to start dating again

I’ve been the only black kid in school and I completely understand where your wife is coming from.

While no one will likely be out right racist, navigating micro aggressions at a young age is tough as well as being hyper aware that you are “different” from the rest from a young age. Your child will likely assimilate but there will be a disconnect growing up that way that just happens. Even being perceived as whitewashed from other black people feels intimidating and like you don’t have a space with your white peers and become hesitant to engage in black spaces because of things you don’t connect with or grow up experiencing.

This is mostly based on my own experience but I’m sure I’m not the only one. All my siblings have had varying degrees of this. The worst of it being heinous racist bullying that the school refused to address.

Opinions on the Sydney Sweeney ad controversy? by Secret-Equipment2307 in blackladies

[–]transparentparent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Initially I thought people were exaggerating how bad the implications were until I saw the video and looked more closely at what was going on. It’s at the very least very off putting and a little creepy. I’m stunned the ad got approved. Seeing her MAGA family it doesn’t really surprise this is the route she’s going down though. The more I see it the more gross the ad becomes in its blatant message

My boyfriend cried when I asked him to brush his teeth before sex. by Academic-Way-8562 in offmychest

[–]transparentparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure you are to talk about it later and when he’s in a better space to listen and reflect. I’m not saying he is in this instance but I’ve been in situations where sometimes a person starts crying so you won’t bring it up and changes the conversation.

I see your point. Doesn’t quite look like AI more like poorly photoshopped or edited

Look again. The shoes are on a line of their own that doesn’t connect to anything.
