really tempted to post to r/landlord to ask what we should do about a really problematic and destructive tenant

they don’t pay any rent or utilities. it’s actually a perk of their employment with me, but there’s an agreement that they can’t make any significant structural changes to the property without permission. recently they told me they were thinking of making some cosmetic updates which would have been allowed, but I checked in on the property recently and they literally hired a full on demolition team.

[ Landlord US - DC ]

what the fuck do I do about the damage my tenant caused?? he didn’t even have to pay a security deposit and he definitely didn’t pass background checks either. he’s also broke. fml

wait what happened?????

// Genuine explanation of the joke, with context:

The White House is the official residence and office of the President of the United States for as long as they are in office. The White House is therefore owned by United States citizens and is stewarded by the U.S. National Parks Service.

The central portico (which includes the residential area) is the oldest section, which is a reconstruction post 1814 fire. It was completed with two expansions by 1829. Later, it gained two additional wings. The West Wing is the home of the actual work office for the president, and was completed in 1901. The East Wing is supposed to include the office of the first lady, the White House social secretary, correspondence office, and the official calligraphers. It’s the social wing. It was completed in 1902.

The White House used to look like this:

Donald Trump mentioned wanting to update and renovate the East Wing with a new ballroom. It’s very normal for interior redecoration to happen from president to president, and even for renovations for upkeeping the integrity of the building have happened before (with lots of documented evidence of the process! Cf. The Truman renovation).

However, this week, he actually had the entire 123 year old East Wing demolished.

I mean it straight up was fucking levelled.

It doesn’t fucking exist anymore.

The American people are the owners of the White House. Americans are Donald Trump’s landlord. The home is ON LOAN for the duration of his service as a perk of the job. He doesn’t pay rent for it. And he just bulldozed our fucking property. We didn’t even get a security deposit out of this idiot.

do straight people know that they can get divorced..?

conservatives are so afraid of being queer that they’d rather suffer through being married and hating their partner, like the amount of “I hate my wife/husband” jokes they make among their friends and in public and everyone just laughs it off? YOU’RE A VICTIM!

“he’s the most insufferable person on the planet“ “He thinks the same about me” FREE YOURSELVES

so. a couple years ago i ended my 15 year relationship right. it wasn’t that we hated each other or anything, we just kinda grew into different people needing different things from a relationship. it was at the point where either we could have kept going exactly the same (since we’d already tried to resolve our issues multiple times with no success) which would have definitely resulted in us hating each other… or we could end it before that point, continue to love each other in a way that doesn’t also cause each other harm, and stay friends.

it was an amicable split. yeah, it still hurt, but it was just a small temporary hurt. and it took a bit to adjust to life like that while still living together, but we did! we rearranged our portion of the house so that the office could become my own bedroom and slowly worked through divvying up most of our things and deciding on we’ll share expenses on and all that good stuff.

and honestly? nothing much really changed, except that neither of us were so pissy about things anymore. even walking around naked didn’t change, cause why should it? like, we spent all those years having already seen each other naked countless times. the fact our relationship status changed didn’t make that any more or less true. and it’s just nakedness anyway, so who gives a shit. about the only thing that did change was physical affection being lessened.

to both of us, this way of splitting up seemed perfectly fine and normal. and yet, quite literally every single person we’ve talked to about it has reacted the same way. bewildered, confused, uncomfortable, borderline disgusted. even my brother who is like one of the chillest dudes out there made a comment like “I don’t think i’ve ever even spoken to a single one of my exes.” and i’m just??? i stayed friends with all but one of mine until life inevitably carried us apart. every comment made started off so negative by friends and coworkers and family and it was honestly just… fucking weird to us the way everyone was behaving.
and then we got to talking about it a bit and realized like, no one we know has ever ended a relationship on good terms, or even at bare minimum neutral terms.

and isn’t that fucking tragic? that this is the acceptable norm in our society, to just fucking suffer each other until you’re full of bitterness, rage, and resentment and it all comes to a destructive end? isn’t it so legitimately sad that the status quo doesn’t value love enough to try and salvage it?

like, i very much believe this chick and her man do actually love each other, but it hasn’t even occurred to them that they can simply love each other in a different way, from a distance, in a way that means they can still keep being friends and look back at what they had fondly.

and this isn’t just conservatives. this isn’t just the cishets. our circle of friends are quite the opposite. but the idea that a romantic relationship MUST end like the most gruesome trainwreck imaginable is so fundamentally ingrained that even they gave us the same weirded out and shocked reaction. its so disgustingly default to nurture hatred and smother the thing that made people fall in love to begin with that it’s almost instinctual it seems like. of all of our friends combined, rowan was the only one who was just like, fucking normal about it. one person. that’s tremendously fucked up, yall.

like, fucking hell i know things have come a long way in the last 50 years or so as far as, yknow, marriage counseling and therapy and whatnot goes but there’s still a massive ocean of things left unsaid and emotions being repressed and needs not being addressed when it comes to relationships. and idk just maybe if folks weren’t harboring so much animosity and vitriol and hostility, especially during the most formative years of their lives, they’d be more well-adjusted. maybe if our default was to respect and cherish the love and fondness that brought people together enough to keep it in tact at the end, we might just be a kinder people.
(the nerd in me is suddenly reminded of the bajoran rite of separation from star trek ds9 and how actually lovely a thing it is to celebrate the ending of a relationship as a joyous thing. star trek stays winning.)

i don’t know what my overall message here is since the vast majority of us on tumblr are not the status quo and to most people amicably splitting up before shit hits the fan seems like the most reasonable and healthy thing to do. i guess like, realize this is as much of a systemic problem as so many other things. it’s definitely not even unique to western society, either, but i think perhaps this particular flavor of it might be. maybe try to break out of the cycle if you find yourself in it, or help someone else realize they can break it too. idk man.

Just saw the word “underfed” written down and spent a good ten seconds trying to imagine what the state of being “derfed” could possibly be, and how one would go about undoing it, before it clicked.

“WW1 soldiers were underfed” fuck man… Not only they sent them off to a war, but then they took their derf away too?? Fucked up

Love when Gringos, specially from north America approach the Bolsonaro trial with “I can’t believe Brazil has more democracy than us” like we’re a bunch of savages with no laws and it’s somehow surprising to see Brazil jailing a man who attempted a coup.

It just shows you see Latinos like they’re somehow less civilized than yourself, really and it’s not the compliment you think it is

Did you know Brazil has set chairs for black people to study in college or get jobs in the public sphere? Did you know Brazil have the biggest universal healthcare system in the world? Did you know we have solid labor laws in place? Did you know gay marriage has been legalized since 2009, 5 years before it was legalized in USA? Did you know we have social name in place since 2016 so trans people can be called by their chosen names before they change it legally? Did you know we have free universities and colleges that are considered the best ones in the country? Of course not because all you guys think when you think about Brazil is gangs, drug smuggling and getting robbed because y'all think that all of Latino america is some kind of criminal paradise

Brazil went through a dictatorship backed by USA from 64 to 85. A lot of our problems nowadays happened because of that, and USAmericans have the gall to think were less civlized than then from a lack of our own instead of being systematically killed, oppressed and taken advantage of
