Holy hell.
This interview were asked two gay men with a baby if they’d heard the stats on child molestation and they immediately became violent and assaulted him.

@SawatzkyJosh @Jason___YYC you should have to pay double school taxes honestly
English
@Jason___YYC Why not? If you don't get paid you don't pay income tax? Don't own a home you don't pay property tax.

@Lormif1 @ThatEricAlper except it happens anyway, which then the union can renegotiate
English
@ThatEricAlper When the inflation happened and your "good, union wage" could no longer allow you to afford everything you currently afford would you then be celebrating with them?

@gorpis9 @ZELLKLUMPEN You calling abortion reproductive health is in scare quotes, I thought the context was fairly clear on that
English
@Just_Strange_ @ZELLKLUMPEN why is forcing women to give birth scare quoted lol
English
@gorpis9 @ZELLKLUMPEN "Reproductive Health" and it's murder
English
@Just_Strange_ @ZELLKLUMPEN it is a bit ghoulish to control women's lives in such areas as reproductive health yea
English
@ZELLKLUMPEN It's simple: if you don't agree, you're not human. So anything they do to you is not evil.

Ya here’s the issue. Pretending it’s celebrating gay sex.
It’s celebrating a group of people who did not have the same rights or equality for decades in this country gaining those rights and equalities.
This is like saying we celebrate black history month to celebrate someone being black.
No we celebrate black history month because it’s a celebration of the black race being given the same rights and equalities they did not have for decades upon decades.
That’s why they celebrate it

@CoreyB08 @DeeKizerSoze it's troublesome when yr opponent is illiterate tbh
English
@DeeKizerSoze Didn’t compare them on a scale of one being worse than another. I simply stated why the celebrations for both occurred
Good try though

@EliasTheophany @USA_Polling ... they're the supreme court. yes, that's exactly what they can do
English
@gorpis9 @USA_Polling So what’s the court supposed to do? Dismiss the basis of previous courts and just say “well idk guys conversion therapy is kinda messed up lol”
English
Thank you Ketanji for being the only justice with a soul apparently

US Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ minors in 8-1 vote. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissent
English
@gorpis9 @USA_Polling Are you familiar with the case? According to the OP, it’s the basis on which previous courts have ruled on
English
@EliasTheophany @USA_Polling to reduce the issue to a violation of speech is insane. it can open up soooo much more bullshit in addition to being ghoulish in this instance
English
@USA_Polling Emotional post. They’re judges ruling on the constitutionality of these cases, not their personal politics. This isn’t an endorsement of conversion therapy by the liberal justices, or any.

@vanillaopinions reducing gentrification to individuals is likely never going to be a helpful discussion

@foster_type So he basically wrote the article himself and you put your name on it?

When I wrote for the AV Club they sent me to do this Random Rules with Moby before a show, I think at Bowery Ballroom.
The idea was you'd take their iPod and shuffle it and talk about the first five songs that came up. When I got there, Moby's publicist told me that he "forgot" his iPod. So instead Moby exquisitely curated a perfectly diverse and just-obscure-enough mix of songs precision calibrated to transmit the image of himself and his taste that he wanted to put out there.
I was 23 but I could barely contain my contempt.

This is what peaked my wife. Her parents rented to a deadbeat woman with a prior bankruptcy. Her dad knew it was a risk, but thought, well, everyone deserves a second chance.
Tenant paid rent for a short period, then just...nothing. They filed for eviction (tenant actually tried filing a restraining order to stop the case-in-progress, lol). Tenant stretched out the hearings for months, citing one made-up catastrophe after another as justification for not showing up.
While waiting for trial, wife saw people coming through the courtroom who hadn't paid rent in a year successfully bargaining for $50k cash payoffs to leave. Wife's family was offered something similar, but took it to trial on principle. When they finally won, it took the sheriff something like 6 months to evict.
Anyway in all the mess they found out that scamming landlords for buyouts was basically her life's work. She had like a dozen of these evictions, but they never showed on her background check because they kept getting sealed.
Being a landlord in California is a sucker's game.
Real Estate Lawyer@SinaiLawFirm
Do you want to know why rent is so expensive in LA? Why the application process takes so long? Why landlords want so much info from you? Here is a recent story: A family was referred to me for their eviction case. They were heading to a jury trial in one month and didn't have a lawyer, yet. They did all the paperwork and filing themselves, in-house to save on legal fees. And surprisingly, they did a great job. They filed the paperwork with LAHD. Gave proper notice to the tenants. I reviewed their paperwork and it was better quality than 90% of other eviction lawyers. I didn't see any viable way to dismiss the case on a technicality. As long as they were properly represented in trial, the family was going to win the eviction. They did everything by the book. Followed all the local rules. Gave all the necessary notices. The family told me the judge ordered the parties to mediate at the first court appearance. The family attended the mediation in court without a lawyer. The tenant was provided a lawyer by the city, for free. At the mediation the lawyer for the tenants offered this settlement: 1. 4 months to vacate the property 2. Cash to leave, paid upfront 3. Waiver of all owed rent 4. Sealed record They rejected the offer, of course. Why would they accept this? The family then asked me a great question. "What is our best case scenario with you in trial?" Based on my review, I gave them my most realistic estimate of the best case scenario in trial: 1. Both parties announce ready at the next trial date (1 month away) and trial takes 3 days. We win the trial. 2. Sheriff locks out the tenant 75 days after the trial. 3. about 110 days to possession. 4. Gave them an estimate cost for fees/prep time. 5. No viable collection of back rent, tenants had no assets. Obviously, this was the best case scenario. It could be worse. Trial can be delayed. While I was confident we are going to win, juries are unpredictable. This is where we had a surreal moment of collective clarity. The settlement offer they rejected is basically their best case scenario if they win the trial. This was not a coincidence. The attorney for the tenants asked for pretty much the same amount I quoted them for my fees. The lawyer for the tenants knew the family had to hire a lawyer for a jury trial. The lawyer knows it takes the sheriff 2-3 months to lockout after a judgment. The lawyer knows it's hard (and expensive) to collect against tenants with no assets. State and local government created a system in which cases take forever to litigate, eviction laws are extremely complex and technical, easy to dismiss cases, only one side has to pay a lawyer, and worst of all, possession enforcement takes 60-90 days instead of 5. And it's all getting worse. The leverage for the tenants is systemic. It's by design. Why would the tenants make any other offer? The landlords are left with no real options but a shitty settlement. There are no real choice. Even when you do everything right, you still lose. Tenants don't pay rent during evictions. They had no viable way to win the trial. There were no habitability issues. The landlords posted all the notices. Never raised the rent. Didn't retaliate. The landlords did everything right. And the tenants still win. The mother looked at me and asked "our base case in trial is the same as the shitty settlement offer? Are you telling me we should have taken the offer we rejected?" I didn't know how to respond.

Buses are hideously slow and inconvenient. You have to walk to the stops, wait around, and can't carry much either. By forcing people to use buses instead of cars they're severely restricting mobility and access to job, retail and leisure opportunities. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

@agritechjoer Should we tear down every Chuck E. Cheese to build farms on the land?
English
Fine if people want to use their private property rights to reject extremely generous deals, but the way this is framed implies data centers are shifty for offering farmers crazy amounts of money. Older farmer goes on a crazy confused rant about food disappearing and they just air it without comment or clarification.
Farmers should be understood as one industry among many and not treated like they're magical sages who can see things the rest of us can't.

The average landlord being like why do these rentoids get mad at me when I feel entitled enough to pass on the full cost of my investment to them (whilst simultaneously increasing the cost of housing and also benefitting from massive tax discounts purely because I own multiple homes)
