>Kids have fun
>Sitting in the external area
>Sees two kids, one female older and black (because of course) and one male younger and white, jumping on the arcade machine

>Bolt over there
>Nigger kid had already gotten down
> Tell her what she is doing is an absurd
> Mother of the white boy come over and turns harpy mode on me for daring telling her angel what to do (didnt even speak to that kid)
> Father comes over
> Hopes he will see reason.
> Started off ok, explained how the machine is expensive and this kid could have gotten hurt
> Dude flips shit switch and starts to speak louder and louder and how it should have been the establishment's duty to have a reinforced machine and someone watching the kids (if only someone meant to watch their doings existed, kind like a parent)
> Already can tell this will get dramatic and begin to walk out the establishment so the dude and dudette can have their temper tantrum outside.
> My father comes over to see whats going on and disarm the situation
> Dude threatens to "cave in my father's face"
> Dudette promises to defame the establishment while making a scene
> They leave and I immediately get a bad review saying how "the owner screamed at my kid because of a toy at the kid's area" (of course they didnt mention their son and a niggerette jumping on it like apes)
> Absolutely incapable of assuming responsibility
> Ponders to myself on how I couldnt get away with a fraction of that stuff as a kid, my parents would make me regret it
> Get reminded why our society is going down to the shitter
> We can blame politics, hiphop, jewish masterminds and Taylor Swift how much we want, it always comes down to one thing

Recruiters selling my information to the highest bidder, and that includes scammers, aggressive advertisers, and similar pond scum that proceed to infest my phone (and to a lesser extent, my emails, though my spam filter gets rid of most of them there).
Because I'm currently looking for a job, I have my mobile phone with me at all times so I can grab it in the increasingly unlikely (given the plague of ghost jobs currently going on in the UK) case that someone actually wants to call me back, and I've noticed that whenever I apply for a bunch of stuff in quick succession, for the next week or so I have cold-callers, advertisers and mobile network fraud scammers from India blowing up my phone. Ordinarily that would just be annoying, but the fact it's giving me false hope whenever I hear my ringtone going off is what elevates this to being absolutely infuriating.

I'm not sure why every movie or show now, no matter the premise, seems to have graphic nudity and sex in it. I think the Dune movies and the new show is a comparison. Dune Pt 1 and 2 have romance and sex, but it's handled very tastefully. Meanwhile apparently the new show is just graphic content like game of thrones apparently.

> They leave and I immediately get a bad review saying how "the owner screamed at my kid because of a toy at the kid's area" (of course they didnt mention their son and a niggerette jumping on it like apes)

Bro. You cannot fucking win. I had to tell kids and I always did so super politely not to do x y z to the self checkout machines at a job or whatever it is, usually I'm concerned about their safety, and one of two things happened.

1. The kids were super chill and listened immediately, but the parents aped out and fucking beat them in front of me for no reason. I told a boy politely not to sit on the bagging area and that there's a bench over here for him. Kid got up immediately and apologized, and his Mom started yelling at him and beating him. I yelled at her, which made her stop and she got angry at me.

2. The kids didn't listen, so I went to the parents elsewhere, and then the parents aped out on me for daring to look out for their safety and my equipment. Being called racist in Spanish while my Hispanic coworkers laugh at them and translate for me was kinda funny.

I don't understand the eviction process in this country. You try to be generous and let family stay with you until they get back on your feet, but they end up freeloading in your residence and the law gets involved when you tell them to GTFO. So, you could verbally allow somebody to "live" with you, but if they refuse to leave, you have to legally evict them through the court system.

If your name is in the deed/lease, you should be able to verbally evict them as you've verbally allowed them to stay. Businesses are allowed to issue trespasses, but it's not the same for your own house/apartment.

There was only one egregious sexposition scene in it that I recall but I was falling asleep halfway through most of the episodes.

And yeah the reason for these scenes is GoT but that actually worked for that setting.

The law is WAY TOO PERMISSIVE of "squatter/freeloaders" this is true. The eviction process is unnecessarily slow, this is true. In a non-lease, monthly rent situation, the default assumption is the same as a month to month lease. If I want you out on July 12, you have til Aug 31. If I want you out on July 1, you have til Aug 31. If I want you out on June 30, you have til July 31. You have the remainder of the current month (which might be a few hours or a few hours short of a full month) and the entirety of the next month. If I want to institute a hard policy that is of sufficient magnitude to constitute the equivalent of a lease adjustment, it takes effect in the same time frame. The eviction process can begin within a few days of delayed rent or an entire rent period or immediately, depending on the state. If you miss your July 1 payment, I am unsure if I am unable to start until Aug 1 or if I can start the process immediately.

The process often takes AT LEAST two months to get a court date in the BEST CASE SCENARIO, but can run as many as 10 in some nightmare cases. Because of this, most landlords START the eviction process ASAP. If the matter is resolved prior to the court date, it is resolved. Even if the eviction process is started, if it is marked as resolved by the landlord on the day he/she would get his hearing, it isn't going to be a *huge* ding against the renter, who might have just failed to hit the send button on the payment portal and resolved it the moment it was brought to his attention or it might be an attempted debt dodge. If there is literally a hiccup or two over the course of years (e.g. in 5 years of renting, I was 10 days late once and I paid the relevant late fee) it is unlikely to be a significant factor in future landlord considerations if it was not an established pattern or occurred too frequently.

The "all landlords are bastards" crowd needs to grow up, but some landlords legitimately live up to the worst of stereotypes. At the end of the day, it is on the aggrieved party to provide/gather evidence. Tenant protections exist for good reason and the landlord accepts certain obligations by virtue of taking the money. Sometimes a tenant is completely unreasonable, sometimes a landlord is completely unreasonable, I've often seen partial fault on both sides, usually starting from an initial incident causing a series of childish tit for tat shit. Whether tenant or landlord, study your lease very carefully and understand the letter of the law very carefully. Never approach the other party with hostility, start diplomatic and escalate insistence as needed.

If you're a landlord, act promptly and decisively. If you're a tenant, pay promptly. In both cases, be respectful and professional in your arrangements. It is horrible to see a nightmare tenant openly abusing their landlord because they are going to stay in their home until the sheriff removes them and they never plan to catch up on or pay their existing debt. That's fucking horrible to see no matter your situation. Alternatively, it is horrible to see landlords disregard legitimate concerns for months on end. If there is an impasse, do the relevant research and contact the relevant organization. Plenty exist to represent the interests of either party.

Sorry for this sperg fest, but I've been on all sides of these kinds of things at various times in my life. Nightmare tenants are horrible. Nightmare landlords are horrible. If you are dealing with either, bring in some outside help from the relevant agency or organization. Direct conflict only tends to escalate, even if you are 100% in the right.

Thread tax: The above rant should suffice.

I'm sick of retards listing shit on places like Facebook Marketplace and lying about the price. Countless times I've seen "Price: free" only for them to say in the description that's is not free, they want XYZ money. Or the tons of ads I've seen advertised at $123,456 and then the description says "$80" or whatever. Just put the actual fucking price you want.

When people use a boilerplate insult and treat it like an epic mic drop that has no possible counter. This is especially true for the most basic and common of gender war insults as below. If you're using a comment/insult that is not even customized to the individual you're insulting, you did NOT provide the perfect mic drop insult. Put some effort into it and take pride in some degree of artfulness. These boilerplate insults are, at most, connective tissue in a more extensive set of observations, not the perfect checkmate move in itself. They act like that meme of all those blacks shouting "oh damn" in unison after some epic burn. They are the personification of the pigeon strutting on the chess board. Just horrible and intolerable people to their very core. They act like someone who did not even know they existed 10 seconds ago is going to need years of therapy because they were informed that they are not sufficient for some stranger's standards. Like holy shit, at least engage in a bit of civil conversation before you drop what you think is a nuke (it isn't). If you're not gonna stick the landing, at least take some pride in the setup or something.

Examples: Hit the wall, ran through, references to Chad and Tyrone, etc (against a female), small dick, bad in bed, closet case, etc. (against a male)

People who aren't very good at something and come up with these wild excuses or reasons why. They have such huge egos they literally cannot listen and learn to improve. I'll talk about shooting since it's what comes to mind. Also just people with huge ego in general. It baffles me. They'll talk talk talk and then be fucking awful at what they're talking about.


"You know paper targets don't shoot back." Okay so you think you'll be a better shot when you're being shot at?

"Ya know you don't want to shoot too high a score. The state will put you on a database. They'll pull your targets if you're ever in a shooting" ah you're being bad on purpose. also what?

"You shouldn't bother learning any first aid they'll just use it against ya"

The death of the prank call. The prank call is a rite of passage denied to everyone 35 and younger. The last prank call I ever made, I was 16 and pranking law offices. I made a special point to laugh into the receiver and received a call back immediately from an irate secretary that contained a threat. I know there is a code to disable caller ID, but the old prank call made on a landline is simply an indescribable experience to anyone who didn't know what it was like to live in a world where some corners of the planet escaped the all seeing eye of surveillance and documentation. My friend had the best one. You'd have a group of friends call the same person asking for William Smith throughout the day. At the end of the day, you'd call and say "Hi, this is William Smith, do you have any messages for me?"

No modern technology will ever recreate the thrill of being able to cause mischief in a pretechnological world. Hell, you can't even do "ding dong, doorbell ditch" in the age of the Ring camera. Today's youth is stunted because they never had a chance to develop self-discipline, because the adults can always apply external discipline, often excessively. Fuck the panopticon and fuck its defenders.

Fuck you and anyone who's ever done any kind of prank. Anything beyond small scare pranks between family and friends is pure bullshit, nigger behavior. Even ding dong ditch is pushing it.

Rite of passage my ass, faggot.

Dune Pt 1 and 2 have romance and sex, but it's handled very tastefully. Meanwhile apparently the new show is just graphic content like game of thrones apparently.

So nudity used to be a pretty big thing in movies prior to the 00's, and it could pretty much show up in any movie out of the blue, so if you didn't see the movie disclaimers you could be 45 minutes into an adventure movie then randomly a character walks into a room without knocking and the audience sees a couple fully nude on screen having sex. A few examples of random movies visible sex/nudity would be Starship Troopers, The Fifth Element, Revenge of the Nerds, Waterworld, and these were movies that you could very much end up watching with your parents as a kid, the reason I know this being that's how I saw them.

I agree with you about today though. Where in the past when nudity was really only in movies, there might be a sex or nudity scene most of the time it was well crafted and was straight to the point that "this is nudity" or "this is sex" likely because they only had 1.5 - 2 hours of time to use. Today though idk if it's just because these people can't write for shit (they obviously can't) or if the average show writer is just a degenerate gooner (they obviously are) but graphic sex and nudity seems to just be thrown in to fill time or push a message.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind seeing the occasional nice pair of tits or people having sex since it is a thing that happens, but shows today are so full of this shit they'll just cut to a scene AFTER a couple had sex, and spend the next 2-3 minutes following a guy with his bare ass to the camera to then show him standing at the kitchen with full shaft in frame. Just lazy shit I don't want or need to see. My wife and I just started watching The White Lotus and this kind of thing happens constantly.

Then there's the surprise gay sex shows like to pull on you now, where you'll be watching a show where maybe you can expect to see some nudity or the like, and there'll be a gay character where yea you might expect to see something since the straight characters are having sex, but I swear to god it'll go from "a pan over shot of 2 people having sex and you can see a bit of tit and various sexual poses" to "wtf these 2 faggots were talking one second and the next second the scene is directly showing graphic gay sex in the most explicate position with loud ass noises and everything", with it basically feeling like the faggot show writers are trying to show you as graphic gay shit as fast as possible so that you don't have time to skip it. This exact thing happened in Tokyo Vice season 2 and it was out of the fucking blue.

I think what makes this worse is that with everybody being on the internet these days you see more of this kinda shit on Xitter, Reddit, YT, where the people who say these things are way less likely to fuck it up and sound retarded and are surrounded by other retards who are willing to act like they just delivered the most serious burn. We've just completely removed the social consequences of some dipshit fucking up the insult and looking retarded, them not having anybody willing to dickride their shitty joke.

With a lot of this shit being done of social media today we've also lost a lot of the ability to just personality mog them and shut their retarded shit down. Like the simple emotionless "Sorry I didn't catch that, can you say it again?" where they either need to drop it and feel stupid for not saying it loud enough or not being worth your full attention, or they need to repeat it and sound retarded having to repeat their insult.

Yeah it used to be a bit worse with movies. I think what bothers me is how many TV shows just have tons of sex and nudity now. I mean personally for me any at all is a deal-breaker but you know. I tend to check parents guides And yeah, you'll see a bunch of movies that were PG rated that have nudity in them from decades ago. So I'm not sure if it's gotten lesser or the rating system has just gotten better so those kind of rated movies don't have it anymore. But also growing up a lot of the time You're watching a TV version of this stuff and it doesn't have it in it

I'm watching severance, and yeah it has a gay character, and there's a sex scene with a man and woman out of nowhere but it's not graphic and is easily skipped. No nudity. It does relate to the plot pretty heavily however so I understand why it's there. It's a well written show and never feels like anything is being forced into it. Most aren't like that. Idk I'm a prude.

You know what grinds my gears? Video memes. It's one thing if you're going to be scrolling YouTube shorts or TikTok or Instagram (ALL HARAM BTW), but you know what fucking grinds my gears? Being sent video memes. Nigger, I look at memes because I want an image to lol about for 2 seconds. I don't want to watch your stupid ass 2:30 minute video for bullshit I can't even play at work. And they're NEVER funny. They're NEVER fucking funny.

If you're in any kind of meme group and meme page, and you post a video meme, fucking kys. Nobody is watching it. Nobody cares.

Now, technology has rendered most pranks obsolete or impossible to successfully pull off. Additionally, people lack the creativity to pull off convincing pranks or other types of hoaxes that fool the unsuspecting (or downright gullible). Worse, some people's idea of pranks in the current era aren't funny at all and cross the line into being harmful in some sort of way.

Nowadays "prank" means some idiots recording themselves harassing people or committing crimes.

Pranks and internet trolling was primarily pretending to be retarded and convincing people that you were serious. At some point in time, those same gullible idiots were convinced they were vindicated by gaslighting everyone into believing that pretending to be retarded was not trolling or prankworthy.
It's so fucked when it's apparently easier, without consequences, to scam or defraud than to ask someone if their refrigerator is running.

[internet friend]

I just had someone describe the route they took as "from that intersection you were stuck on, I went here and went around there". Now keep in mind, when I say "here" and "there", I'm not using them as general terms, that was the actual words used. I guess I'm just meant to be a psychic and figure out what "here" and "there" means without any other context.
